Rainbow Vacuum Reviews

I had someone come to my house and demonstrate a Rainbow Vacuum air purifier. I thought it was a great product. After having a product for a couple of months I realized this product does not do what it says it is supposed to do. I clean it like I'm supposed to and I'm very unsatisfied with it. I run it 24/7. My return vent and I can't smell any of the fragrances throughout my house. I can't tell any difference in the air quality in my house. And their customer service is terrible. I had a guy call me back and tell me there's nothing they can do. He was sorry that I wasted his time. I will never purchase from Rainbow again and I hope you don't either. And one thing they don't tell you is that you have to take it apart and clean out all the gunk that gets built up in there.

I had a salesperson knock on my door and tell me that I can have one room cleaned free of charge if I just allow them to do a demonstration. An hour and half later I still did not have a cleaned room and I had to threaten to call the cops to get her out of my house! She sat on my floor and kept pushing this $2500 vacuum on me and each time I explained I not only wouldn't spend that kind of money but I also don't have it, she would drop the price and spend 20 more minutes trying to convince me that I had to have it! Her last ditch effort was when she told me she needed to sell one more in order to win this trip to the Caribbean and how she and her husband never got a Honeymoon and she was going to do me a favor and finance it for me and my monthly payments would only be around $60 a month and only for 5 years!

BAD EXPERIENCE/NOT HAPPY WITH PRODUCT: Does anyone know what will show on your credit report if you have not made the first payment on the vacuum, and were not able to complete the "knock it out" program to get it for free?? I cannot get an answer at the Rainbow Store here...and no reps will help me.

I love the vacuum cleaner and one of my favorite things is the trade in value it holds. When I looked for a new one just to upgrade the machine they gave me 800.00 credit towards the new one and I got the shampooer free and a clean air machine. I thought that was a great deal. I use my Rainbow for everything, sucking cold ashes out of my wood stove, blowing leaves off the deck. I clean my cars with it. It's like my shop vac without all the filters to clean and I like that it is American made too.

Just got my Rainbow yesterday... I'm loving it!! Been cleaning all day with it today and already smell the difference in my home. I have an English bulldog and three teenagers but you'd never know it now. My son and I both have allergies and asthma and this is already helping just by using the free RainMate that we got at night. Plus I got one for my son's room.

We actually love our Rainbow. We have told many people around us about it and regardless of them willing to do a show, suggested they check it out on their own. Unfortunately, I will no longer be advocating for this company. When we agreed to do the showing for a friend and got our own Rainbow, we were told, like everyone else, we had to do 12 showings and two people had to keep the Rainbow. We were also told that the reimbursement check would be available to us 8 weeks after completing the program. We are currently at week 10 and no one has communicated to us about the completion of the program or the reimbursement for the product. I finally reached out via email and after several days received an email saying they outsource the approvals and have no way to know where they are in the process.

The Rainbow is great really. However, we entered the program and sold like 7 out of the 12 demos we did. 7! Unfortunately, the fine print stated we HAD to have only 4 renters for the demos. The rest had to be homeowners. So, even with our 7 sold. We didnt not qualify for completing the program. They waited 2 months, until yesterday, to tell us this info. Now, we have 1 week to find 1 more demo, who fits their demographics. Even if they buy the vacuum it won't count towards our program unless they fit into the specifications.

I recently won a RainMate in a drawing and the salesman called to tell me I won and he wanted to bring the unit to my house. He ended up bringing a Rainbow vacuum and asked to demonstrate it for me. He and the girl were super nice! I went ahead and sat through the demonstration and it seemed like a really nice unit. 3 hours later I decided to go ahead and purchase it. I put a $100 down and financed the rest at about $2800. That was on a Thursday night.

I first owned a D2 model, which worked well, however the humid air went up through the motor and after 10 years we chose to replace it with the D3, which was the first to have the air exhaust outside the motor. My first wife introduced me to the Rainbow, I was skeptical, but was pleased with the performance. I started selling Rainbows. When my first wife died and someone else had to have her vacuum I didn't have the money to replace it so I used the best I could afford.

First, we agree to do this show, ok whatever. The sales girl had pretty much just began, and is going through an obviously "rehearsed" description, and experiences. After the show, we agreed to buy it, doing the other shows to pay it off. I have Asthma, my kids have allergies, so I thought, "If this helps everyone, then awesome". Before I signed the contract, I asked several questions. One was, "what if we can't get enough people to do the shows?". Also, "what if the two people don't buy it?". We were told that if we meet half of the program, they would help and give us the first part of the money, and we would have to pay the balance.

Many here are confusing the three different aspects to a Rainbow vacuum. The Rainbow Vacuum Itself - A wonderfully engineered, powerful, easy-to-use vacuum cleaner that is better than 90% of other vacuums at cleaning the air it sucks in before it blows it back into your room. The vacuum, however, is not for everyone. It requires basic maintenance EVERY TIME you use it, which, many people will not take the time to do. If it is maintained and care for properly, it will provide many, many years of excellent service. Is it worth $3,000? No way. Buy one on eBay, Craigslist, or FB Marketplace, take it to a shop and have them service it, and you've paid half the price for a tremendous machine, avoiding the rigmarole of an in-house salesman.

Long story short my husband and I did a home showing of the rainbow vacuum in 2016. We liked the vacuum and told them the payments was too high and the price we were told they would reduce the price and payment and give us two months free. After a few days of using it we figured it was too heavy to take up and down stairs and called them to get it. Landmark refuses to stop asking for payments for the vacuum and has damaged or credit.

I’ve had my Rainbow machine nine years and it is the best unit out there. The representative had me vacuum my carpet with my Oreck vacuum which I had high confidence and used weekly. Then, she used the Rainbow and I was embarrassed to see the dirt, hair and grime that was in the water, and the odor was horrible. I purchased the Rainbow and it has kept my off-white carpet clean, and extended the life of my carpet. The naysayers are all wrong about this product and hopefully will catch up with the truth about the Rainbow.

Well, I thought the Rainbow was going to be a good idea. Seems good with lots of great things to offer for my declining health. Only to discover that this has many downfalls. Vacuuming is almost impossible with vacuuming with water. As you pull the hose water spills everywhere and then gets stuck on the cord. Throw the dirty water down the toilet she tells me yes then I'm hiring a plumber to come and fix my Plumbing because everything backed up in my basement. Bad choice obviously. Water spills and I have laminate flooring. Now I have bubbles in my flooring from the water. Try carrying that thing up and down the stairs. As I already said I have health issues. It's already challenging to vacuum. Nevermind carry a big heavy thing with water in it. I feel like it's one of my worst purchases I've ever made. Would never recommend. I totally wish I could send it back.

I am really surprised to read all the negative comments here. I have a Persian rug which was loaded with years of cat hair... No other vacuum can touch the cat hair... NONE. I had to scrub the carpet by hand with a brush... So, that is a great thing, to have the Persian rug clean again. And the attachments allow you to use the unit on hardwood or tile. And I have a big job to clean the cement floor in my basement and then repaint the floor, and there is an attachment for that. Plus it takes the allergens out of the air. All this by using water to filter out the gunk. No more vacuum bags to purchase, only empty and replace the water.

I am so happy and so amazed having purchased Rainbow (complete cleaning system) even I am not really how to pay in installment basis. But you know what, I thought they are lying when they told me I can have it for free. True, I have now for free in the amount of 3200 because on their amazing demo program. Believe me! Not only that I, gained more or less 4,000 dollars worth of free gift from them, like, 12 piece cookware, 22 piece cookware and an Aquamate or a shampooer. Believe, it is really true.

We purchased the unit at a cost of $3000. Interest rate too high and the product does not hold up well. A total waste of your money. The machine is big and bulky; not easy to use. Very labor intensive; taking apart to empty water from unit. I personally would not recommend this company or their vacuum cleaner system to anyone. It is a Big Disappointment!

My complaint is not about the vacuum performance, but about the awful, and I do mean awful, design. I am in the middle of vacuuming right now and just dumped the stupid thing over and am taking a break before I throw it in the garbage. Did the product designers ever use this thing? On one end, you have the electrical cord. On the other, the hose by which you must drag the machine by as you vacuum. I constantly have to stop to adjust the direction I am pulling the hose because if you change directions the cord will now be in front of the wheeled carriage and you’ll run over it. The damn body of the vacuum is constantly bashing into corners, furniture, or getting hung up on the edge of a rug, and instead of rolling over it, nine times out of ten, it will turn over. You’re not supposed to let it do that! Ugh! I’ve not used this vacuum once without getting frustrated beyond words.

Everything these days is way overpriced. We had a great display of this product in our home. Nobody pushed this product on me or made us feel pressured to purchase it in any way. Amber was excellent at instructing us on this item. We love our Rainbow. My home and the air in my home is now clean all the time thanks to our Rainbow. This product has cut way down on my cleaning chores. There is literally no more dust and dirt in the air inside my home. The rainbow will save you a lot of time from normal dusting and cleaning. We love this product and I am very pleased with this purchase. No more allergies! It’s priceless! Thank you Rainbow! ❤️

I attended a town craft fair and entered a few draws. 2 months later I got a call from a guy saying I won something and he'd come to my house to show me how to use it. He said it would take an hour to an hour and a half depending how many questions I had. Skeptical, I asked point blank if I had to sign up for anything or pay for anything. He said, “No, no, you just won our draw and so I'll bring the gift to your house!" At our appointment time, he shows up with HUGE amounts of stuff. He pulled out our "gift" - the mini whatever, put some water in it and told us to plug it into our bedroom. That took all of 2 minutes. He was there for THREE HOURS. He showed us the bigger system, and went page by page through the business plan and then literally wanted us to hand over a $4,000 cheque right there or sign up to sell them. WHAT. You came to my house to give me a gift... you lied about what this was as well as how long it would take.

Never ever get into Rainbow System product demonstration. They are truly scam. They performed product demonstration at our house mentioning the benefits and its (Air filter/Vacuum) performance characteristics. Salesman will push you the wall to sign the sale contract with their misleading information about their product. You won't be able to cancel the sale and you have to pay $3000 for a vacuum that is no better than my any regular vacuum.

Scam scam scam. Do not be tricked into this program. I did what they call the Go4it program and you were suppose to do 12 shows, and have 2 people to keep the machine. Which I sold 4 machines. I completed the program and at the end I was told that I did not qualify for the program due to I did not have 2 that had A1 credit. The 2 people that keep the machine must have A1 credit, or they will not qualify for you. They want you to sell but you do not get all the details. It is not brought to your attn when you do the shows. They want to keep this information hidden. Then when you question them about it all they say is you signed the contract. You are responsible.

We “won” a free air scent machine from doing a survey for a friend. The guy got here a little before 7pm and didn’t leave until 11:30pm. He started the evening by telling us about himself and how his now girlfriend calls him a player because he keeps several women’s robes in his closet all in different sizes so that he can accommodate any size women that comes to his home. Not to mention the endless stories about how he is a survived a completely torn aorta, brain surgery, a massive heart attack and he fights sumo wrestlers because of his road rage. Oh and he kicked in the car door of a thug that was waving a gun at him. It took him nearly 2 hrs to start the demo on the contrapment. We had to sit through him letting us know that even though we have smoke detectors everywhere that we was in fact going to die in a fire and that our best chance was to just sleep with our doors closed and pray that the firefighters will find us.

Back away as fast as you can from this company. The manager Daryl just told me they do not want me or people like me as customers. They failed to "thoroughly" diagnose my Rainvac Rainbow machine's issues and Daryl has blamed me. To say Daryl is rude would be a gross understatement. He told me he could tell by my demeanor what kind of person I am and he wasn't going to be taken by a guy like me. If you're looking for abuse, go to Rainvac and deal with Daryl. The $260.00 I spent with them was a waste. Avoid at all costs. All the negative online reviews spring from the well of truth.

So I won a free thing at a home and garden convention but to get it I had to sit through a demonstration of a vacuum cleaner, it looked good so we signed up to it agreeing to pay $83 a month. All signed up there and then. A few days later apparently the credit check (that hasn't been run according to our credit files) failed and in order to keep it we had to pay a further $500 upfront. Well the agreement has no mention of this so we refused, but then they refused to accept the $83 payment. A few calls and we got sick of hearing from them, so we took some legal advice and because their contract is so shoddy, we were advised to stick to the original agreement and just note when they refused payments, so we told them we would only communicate in writing and sent a letter detailing our complaint.

This company is a scam and will say anything to get their commissions. We had Amanda ** come do a demo and she told us if we could get 4 friends to agree to a demo (no obligation to purchase) that we would get a friend 3 night trip. We specifically asked her about the qualifications as the referral sheet says they need to be homeowners and typically families/couples. She said that didn’t matter because they sell to everyone regardless of marital status and homeowner status. We, ourselves, rent so we believed her. We have been trying to follow up for a month regarding our referrals because you also only have 24 hrs to fill out the referral sheet to qualify for the trip and extra bonuses. We gave her the sheet the day she did our demo so within hours. We have had 4 friends do the demo so we should be getting our free trip but now she is saying some of our referrals don’t qualify because they rent, they are single males, etc.

ONE THING I WILL SAY, THE VACUUM works great ONCE I've prepared it. The "sales" show went so fast, I did not have time to really pay attention to all he had to do to use it, I was shocked how much "yuck" was coming out of my carpet, BUT... After two pinched nerves and being on my back and the expense of doctors and prescripts and the pain to use it ever after is a struggle, I would NOT have purchased it! There are many features that they need to upgrade, but for now... a "1" is all I can give since we are paying sooo much for pain! I'd rather have to vacuum 3 times a day with our OLD vacuum than full with this mess to clean it out.

Rainbow vacuum cleaners are in my book the best. You can treat pillows for allergy and I love the way it picks up everything. To have it trap it in water for me is awesome.

I really love that with the Rainbow the dirt is sucked up into a bowl of water instead of a bag with the remainder being reintroduced to the air. All of the dirt goes into the water bowl. You simply dump the water bowl when you are done vacuuming. It can also be used as an air purifier with different oils in the water, it can be set on low to continuously purify the air if you will.

If the product was as revolutionary as they claim it is, the owners of the company would sell it on Amazon and make billions and not have to pay employees. Just like Amway or Herbalife, they rely on pushy salesmen coming to your home to sell you the product. Ask yourself this, how much do you think it costs for the Rainbow to be made? Maybe $50 or $100 at most. But they are trying to make you buy it for $3000. Crazy! Scam scam scam.

I don't understand the complaints on here. It sounds like y'all had some bad salesmen in your house for sure. It's a great company that's been around since 1936. The power nozzle is not separate it all comes with the Rainbow. They last for 40+ years and it's all American made and it actually works. It's taken people off of Inhalers and gets rid of allergies in the home. Now if you don't have allergies or asthma then the vacuum part is fantastic as well. It actually does what you buy it to do. I can't go through the whole demonstration on here or anything but for real if you have any complaints or questions about the price just comment on here and I can answer any questions you have about the product.

Always brush its teeth when finished. This minor maintenance task will add years to the vacuum's lifespan. The initial cost is well worth the expense. Put this on your wedding registry first.

I was doing some remodeling in my home and it was dust everywhere from cutting plaster. Tho, I tape the area off. Still a lot of dust. I had a vacuum cleaner but friend lend me a Rainbow and it did a better job and held the dust in the water bowl. Been using Rainbow for years. It is on the pricey side like Kirby. It also serve as a shampooer and has a set up for filtering the air too.

My Rainbow Vacuum unit is very old, but can still suck the fuzz off a peach. Thought about getting a newer model, but the saying around here is "use what you got".

Rainbow Vacuum is the only vacuum that cleans the air as well as any surface. During the Northern California nearby Wildfires the air was filled with smoke for at least two Weeks. The Water filter That comes with the Rainbow Vacuum saved our Breath & Lungs.

When it comes to the Rainbow, it has changed my life. The money I get to save due to the machine, plus the health benefit of it is absolutely amazing. No more allergy medicine, no more itching eyes or sneezing within my own home. Being certified by the asthma and allergy foundation is to me, far and beyond a qualified product. People can complain about a pushy salesman, the price or the programs that they have, but aside from maybe a bad experience, the product is amazing. Give Rainbow a fair and open chance to change your life.

A lady came to our door advertising asking if we were interested in an air purification system. We have 2 large dogs, a toddler and I was pregnant with my 2nd child so we were very interested. She demonstrated how the Rainbow E series black worked by vacuuming our mattress, and having my husband use our vacuum on the carpet in a small area. After my husband vacuumed the area with at least 7 passes on the carpet, she went over the same area with the Rainbow. It pulled all kinds of dirt our vacuum left behind. She vacuumed the blinds, pictures, and even demonstrated the carpet cleaning attachment on a red punch stain on the carpet. It had been there for years, but the Rainbow pulled it right up. I didn't like that I couldn't negotiate the price, but we bought it anyway.

My wife “won” a free color changing air purifier from the Phoenix home and garden show, so they called to set up a time to drop her “free” gift but she had to sit through a hour presentation on Rainbow vacuums. After reading reviews I was nope not this house not going to get a $5,000 sale on us. So when he came in he noticed I was a Purple Heart vet and tried to make a connection with the military. As a seasoned infantrymen I already had my mind set that we would not purchase one. So he came in and started his whole spill about this being the best thing since sliced bread.

My first Rainbow was purchased at a yard sale as an antique and still worked. A 1932 model. My wife and I bought our first when our son developed asthma. On our third one now made in the late 90's. Love it. No dust, no messy bags or filters. Must remember to remove top in order to protect motor. Empty regular and clean separator every third use and it will last a long time. However, the newer ones have been retooled due to patent loss or something. Not even close to the same machine. Too bad it was never sold in stores. Try the pawn shops and remember all motors can be rebuilt!

We purchased a Rainbow almost 2 years ago and, as of yet have been unable to assemble myself. My husband does the vacuuming now. I'm 72 and he's 74, a simple job has turned into an ordeal, therefore we're not cleaning as often as we should. I've been in the hospital with the horrible flu and he also has it so I'm trying to clean and disinfect before he gets home. I'm sweating so bad that I almost blacked out and no matter how much twisting and turning and trying to adjust, I can't get it together. If you can't make the machine user friendly, you should stop selling. It cleans well and disgusts me the crap that comes out but it doesn't do any good if I can't use it.

DO NOT BUY. Beware. Do not buy a Rainbow system. Salesman are extremely pushy, and will basically do anything to force you to buy this product. We have hardwood floors upstairs, the rainbow does not work on hardwood. I get more dirt sweeping with a regular broom than I do with the Rainbow Vacuum. My Dyson vacuum also worked better on carpet than this vacuum does, but when I purchased this they took my Dyson, so now we’re stuck. We tried to take the Rainbow back but they told us we didn’t want to take it back, and they would send someone out to show us how to use it. REALLY??? I know how to use a vacuum, and this one sucks. Please be better than me, save your money and your dignity, and don’t buy this product. I guarantee you won’t be satisfied. Guarantee it.

I did the demo program with Rainbow, it was really simple, 12 demos in 6 months, 2 had to be A-line sales and I had to do the first 6 in the first 45 days of my purchase. I did the whole program in less than a month and got my $2800 reimbursement check, I even did a 13th demo which was a sale and got an extra $1000. There are guidelines to follow, which why wouldn't there be? They're giving you almost $10,000 worth of product for free, but as long as you read the paperwork and have a dealer who explains it very thoroughly to you there's nothing to fret. It's still super easy and possible to do.

The program explains you need 12 qualifying couples to show the product to in a 12 month period. If you complete the program in 90 days there are extra incentives. Part of the program is to sell at least 2 units and once completed if you show to a 13th customer and they purchase you received a bonus check. The unit cost $3290, with the trade of your old vacuum the unit is $2780. If you complete the program the unit is paid for with a check at the very end of the completed program.

We got a phone call saying we won in a drawing a small air purifier. So the lady scheduled a appointment to come to our house and deliver it. I said, "I don't want to buy anything," she said, "All we ask is word of mouth. Tell your friends and family if you like the air purifier." I said, "Ok." Friday a man comes and showed us all about the big air purifier. "We didn't buy anything," I said. "Where is the free one?" Well how confident he didn't have one. I called the lady and asked about getting the free one. She said, "I will have that department call you." Never a call back of course. So anyway I think they lie and also used my time and because we didn't buy anything I guess that means we don't get a purifier that supposedly I won. I would never do business with them. As for word of mouth I definitely tell people not to buy anything from Rainbow.

First off I want to say it works great on carpet but we plan on taking all the carpet out of the house and putting down hardwood floors. We told the sales guy this. He told us that the Rainbow works great on hardwood floors and you don't have to use a broom ever again. You won't have to worry about bending over and using the dustpan??? Yea right. So I go to clean a few days later and I use the long head like he recommended. It got all the dog hair up (I have 2 large dogs and 5 cats, we live in the country in a big house, along with 2 children) so I clean every day. But this was the 1st time I was trying the vacuum on the kitchen floor. It was a fail. I decided to go back and sweep to see what all it missed. I swept up all kinds of dirt and crumbs the kids and dropped in my floor.

I attended a neighborhood street fair where I submitted an entry to a raffle for a free water fragrance machine. I should have known something was wrong when they asked if I owned my home. Two days after the fair I received a call stating I had won a machine and they wanted to schedule a time to drop off the machine and show me how to set it up. The woman stated they also wanted to show me the rainbow machine while they were at my home. I asked how long would it take and I was told an hour so I agreed. My mistake--I thought the "rainbow" was a fancier water scent machine.

I had attended a craft show at a church. The guy talked me into entering for a free "new" rain air purifier. Said it was completely free. Called me later and said my name had been drawn out, and we had won the free air purifier. He set up a time with us to come "set it up." I told him multiple times we were not buying anything, he insisted it was free, won as a prize. Well he shows up with a freaking vacuum cleaner! Took 2.5 hours to present, we said no, offered free financing for 48 months, we said no, offered free attachments, we said no. Very difficult to get him to leave. We had kids hungry for dinner and needing to get in bed for school, he still wouldn't leave! And he demonstrated the "carpet cleaner" and left our carpet wet! Just beware if you see a contest for a free air purifier!!

I purchase the Rainbow Vacuum on October 8, against that little voice in my head saying "No, don't do this." On October 22, I called the sales representative that persisted we needed this system in our home, and told her how I was unhappy with the air quality and suction. She said "You only get a 3 day return policy, you cannot return it now." I was dumbfounded. I went back to my contract. I reread it over and over again. Only 3 days to determine whether or not I like a machine that suppose to help clean my home better?!

Pushed to buy the Rainbow vacuum system. They promised to help us sell enough to pay for it through the go for it program. Left us high and dry, even after multiple calls to higher ups to try to solve the problem. Still did not get demos to try to sell more. Good system crappy representation.

I'm seeing a lot of complaints so I want to take time to share why we love our Rainbow!! We bought it in 2011 from a friend who signed up to sell to earn her own Rainbow for free. We had to take out a loan to pay for it, but we paid it off a few years later. It was a great investment and we use it daily with three small kids and a dog. Our dog did chew up some of the pieces (twice) so we had to replace those. Once we had the whole thing cleaned inside and out. It was perfect and like new. Nothing beats opening the water basin and seeing all the nasty dust, dirt, hair, etc. it collected!!

I purchased this awesome machine nearly 2 years ago. My son has severe asthma and since I got this he hasn't had any breathing issues, his inhaler goes untouched, his nebulizer collects dust in the closet. I like that when I'm done I dump the water and rinse the bowl. I never have to worry about canisters and bags. I wasn't a fan of the scents, didn't really find them to work all that great. Also never received the free gift for referring 3 demos but whatever.

I have had a Rainbow since early 90s and although it is getting tired and parts are needing repair it still outperforms the Dyson I recently purchased. Yes the Rainbow is cumbersome and vacuuming is a chore and Dyson is easier, the claim wet dust can't fly is so true. It's gross to empty a dusty, dirty Dyson and still have dust all over the place. With the Rainbow you see the dirty water and it drains and you know your house is clean. Using attachments for surfaces or walls is terrific and a breeze. The hoses are easy to use and this is the best piece of equipment I have ever owned for my house. I will be taking it for service soon but hope to have it for a long time.

I will share my experience with Rainbow vacuum demonstration. So this goes back 6 years or so, my friend bought a Rainbow (crazy him) and like everyone know to get some free gadgets you have to give people's names for a demo. I accepted, the guy came to our just bought house, a old house from the 16 century which was abandoned for some years. We had done some work but there was still work needed. At the time we had a super old vacuum which was garbage but couldn't afford a new one at the moment. So the sale guy asked to see it and immediately took advantage of that, showed us how much dust our vacuum was letting out and how much it left around. We were shocked!!! Especially because my wife was 8 month pregnant. He started saying that this is unhealthy and that kids might have respiratory problems etc...

This is the worst program ever. It is very fake. And the employees are beyond horrible in Western NC. We were under the impression at our first show when we purchased no $ would be paid until our 12 shows were done. I trusted our dealer so I didn't read all the fine print which I guess that's on me. We were told no $ until 180 days and nobody told us about the finance charge. Or half the qualifications of the shows. Or I would have never done or signed up for any of this. We were lied to! Just to make a sale! Then one of their reps Joy came out treated me and my family member horribly at a show. She got furious when they chose not to buy. Pulled me aside and trash talked my family for not buying.

I am writing a review to express my concern about the sales practices and price of Rainbow Vacuum/Rexair in our area, and to register my upset about being high pressured into a deal. These people send salespersons door to door, start a conversation to find something in common such as our concern about air quality. The Rainbow Vacuum/Rexair is extremely expensive. It is something I would never willingly spend $5,613.00 on. But I can tell you we had a 1st class high pressure job from this salesman, as he would NOT take no for an answer, it seemed to only ratchet up his resolve to sell to us.

I bought a Rainbow vacuum system about a year ago. A sales person came to my home with a "supped-up" presentation. To my regret, we purchased a system with the expectation we were purchasing a quality product consistent with the price. It never performed up to the expectations of a machine that cost so much money. Too heavy for practical use. Entirely too expensive. The fragrance feature can be accomplished with cheap potpourri. The hose came a loose from the machine. Poor customer service. You can purchase a quality vacuum cleaner for less than half of the cost of this Rainbow unit.

Pete and Cheryl our salespeople here in Houston Texas were the best and very helpful. This vacuum is THE best investment I have ever made. We have just gone through Hurricane Harvey here in Houston and this vacuum has paid for itself twice over. It's bulky and awkward at times but I'll tell y'all that I get my exercise as I'm cleaning. Worth the money that's for sure.

We just bought our third RaInbow in 30 years. This one is amazing. My son has asthma and a week after running the air cleaner, he has not had to use the inhaler at all. We hardly ever see any dust. Highly recommend!

Look, this dog and pony show is awkward. You got a sales rep that follows the script but knows nothing on how to sell or close the deal. As far as the product, it appears to be decent quality but not worth the high price. You realize it does a lot of things but if the main unit poops out -- your purifier, vacuum, shampooer is all out of service. For the size of our house we would need 2 units or schlep it around 7000 sq feet. Currently, 3 people can be vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner each located on a floor along with 3 steamers for hardwoods and all vacuums have horse hair attachments. We already have a humidifier that we can throw in beautiful extracts that smell marvelous. Come to find out that this rainbow has a variety of attachments (at even more cost).

We bought several vacuums before in Australia but when we had a rainbow, we love it so much. Rainbow makes our cleaning easier and with no additional bags or filters. We tested it against our expensive Dyson and Kirby and yet the Rainbow still picks up whatever the other vacuum cleaners cannot. Overall, the Rainbow has already saved us time and money. As a bonus it can also aromatize, deodorize, sanitize and medicate the air. No more weird cooking smell because the Rainbow can eliminate them. We have found the Rolls Royce of cleaning. We are proud to have one and use one everyday.

We were asked to do a demo in our home for a friend. We agreed for them to come and demonstrate the amazing machine, with absolutely no intention to purchase the machine. We currently owned a Dyson Ball Animal. That I purchased 4 years ago for the price of $569.00. That being said, I thought it was doing a great job, boy was I wrong! We watched this machine pull dirt from the same place many times. We vacuum at least two or three times a week. The Rainbow is an amazing machine and sells itself. My biggest question was, where is it manufactured, I asked. The sales rep told me in Cadillac Michigan! I was shocked seeing how most everything is made in China now.

We agreed to an in home demonstration. We talked about my daughter's long hair, had to replace the belt after two weeks. We have mostly wood floors, use this tool, DOES NOT PICK UP, my swifters worked better than this does. Said you don't have to use the perfume(s) you mix in the water, if you don't, the air in the room smells, and I am allergic to the perfumes. Went to stop by the store to see what they may suggest, store is closed, had a time clock sign be back at 2:00, went there at 3:00, no one there. Store is over 10 miles away, called their number, get their answering machine. Wrote a letter to the main company, they sent a letter saying they forwarded it to the distributor and store, heard nothing from neither.

They catch you at the local expo by having a jar full of money that you guess the amount on and you fill a slip with your info (and if you're a homeowner) and the amount of money in the jar and they pretend you won. I "won" because I'm a homeowner and that's their criteria. You'd think winning meant the money in the jar, right? Well you would be wrong.

I have a Rainbow and I am very happy with my product. However I would not recommend anyone to purchase this thru the Go4it program. I had a rep named Kim come do a show for me, that from my understanding has been with the company for a long time, and after the couple didn't get it she became pushy and mean. It was very uncomfortable. She then said that I didn't do enough to ensure her sale. I was not told that I had to ensure her sale. I was only told that I had to look for couples to watch the presentation. After that she deemed the show unqualified and made up lies about the couple not participating so I could not get credit. It was a waste of time for me and nothing like I was promised. No one in any department seemed to care either. This is not a program I would recommend to anyone.

I purchased a Rainbow Vacuum about a year ago. I have been so very sorry I even let these people in my house. It is awkward and difficult to maneuver. I have an upstairs and taking it from one floor to another is a chore. After trying to use it, I called the person who sold it to me and told her I did not want it. It was the day after I had purchased the vacuum. She said she was busy, but would get back to me the next day. When she came, she said it was too late to take it back. It is hard to use and not worth the effort. No one wants to buy it because it is a ridiculous price. I hate it!

I have had my Rainbow for almost 6 months and I absolutely love the product. However when I got done with my demos I sent them in to be verified and you can only have 4 renters and you can have more only if they buy. I got my email back and they told me that I had 6 renters so therefore I needed two more demos to replace the last two who were not homeowners and did not buy. So I took matters into my own hands and call the tax assessor's office and verified that in fact those two people did own their home. I don't know where they got their information from but it was clearly incorrect. They would not reply to me when I told them that. If I have to go as far as taking a picture of the deeds to the homes I will but it should not be that much trouble. Highly aggravated with this aspect of doing the program.

I bought one 10 years ago when we were building our house. They're expensive, ($2,500.00 back then) so I chose to buy the vacuum outright with cash instead of buying living room furniture. I figured a stupid couch will wear out but a vacuum that doesn't spray dust into the air was crucial, as I had a 18 month old toddler who used to follow me around behind the traditional vacuum and breathe in all the dust from the vacuum & it stressed me out! It is also fascinating to look at all the debris in the water bucket after you are done vacuuming, kind of like looking through an archeological dig. And if you mistakenly vacuum up a small toy or something it doesn't matter because you can always fetch it out later.

I just bought a Rainbow Vacuum and Cleaning System Saturday and LOVE IT!! The demonstration took longer than an hour, but we talked a lot and asked a lot of questions! We thought we knew everything about vacuums but we clearly did not and have been living in a dirty house our whole lives. The people that are complaining are mainly complaining about financing and not the ACTUAL VACUUM! Come on people! We just paid for ours right there and then because we knew which all the people below should have known that financing it makes it more expensive! Ours would have been $2900, but with the 21-year warranty for free and the vacuum attachment for free and the air fragrances for free because we purchased that day, it was $2197 or something like that!

Without a doubt, I will never go back to another brand of vacuum ever again. I just realized a couple of days ago that I have own this thing for over 10 years now and I have never had an issue (knock on wood). When I first got it I used it in my housekeeping business. Since then, I have moved about 4 times since getting this vacuum and it works on any type of flooring I've had.

In October of 2016 I was asked to do an in home product demonstration of the Rainbow Vacuum System by some friends of mine. They stated that if I did they would be able to receive a free attachment for their vacuum cleaner and that I did not have to buy anything. Being the good friend that I am and the informative buyer that I think I am, I decided to do some research prior to the in home demonstration. Prior to the demonstration my vacuum of choice was the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball. I went online and looked up the Rainbow systems as well as comparisons between Dyson and Rainbow.

I signed up for a Rainbow distributor to come and give me an in home demonstration at a home show, where they had a sign on their table that said "Free RainMate with every in home demonstration". I thought "Why not, I'll sit through this hour long demo and then get a freebie." So Mario showed up at my apartment and gave me his spiel, I was hesitant to buy. He started throwing in freebies, He said "If you buy today I will give you the shampoo system free." And I decided at this point it would be worth the cost.

I had a cheaper vacuum which was way more simple to use and less of a hassle. I haven't noticed a single difference but I think it was a horrible decision to buy this. I think any vacuum could easily keep up with this thing.

I purchased my Rainbow Vacuum on 03/03/2016 and from the get go I had issues with the "power nozzle" and part of the description states "The Rainbow Power Nozzle does a fabulous job cleaning carpeting, tile, linoleum and other hard surface flooring." And during the demo Jon showed me in my almost entire tiled house how to use the power nozzle on my tile floor. I have had to go in and get the power nozzle bristle pieces replaced numerous times now. They have very limited hours (evening only). I am not really available in the evening and driving across town to drop off and then again to pick it up each time is a huge hassle on my part. I have had to purchase two additional vacuums since I purchased this $5,000 vacuum from them because it is always broken!

A representative from this company came up last night for what he said only 1 hour but he stayed for almost 2 & 1/2. At first he was very polite and friendly but after he finished presenting the product, which is not bad, his behavior changed after I refused to sign directly the contract. The cost was very high almost 3800$, he started to fool us by some discounts reaching 600$. As some said I read reviews before I make high purchases and check the prices and it was a shock that it really costs almost 2800$ and less including shipping. I believe that the product is good but is not worth this amount and these salesmen are so ugly in their way of making business which I really disdain.

I had an older Rainbow for about 12 years and loved it! We was talked/pressured into buying the "newest and greatest" vacuum ever invented. I am EXTREMELY unhappy with the cleaning ability of this vacuum! It does not perform anywhere close to as good as my old one. It is very overrated and overpriced! I have a rechargeable swivel sweeper that cleans better than the new Rainbow!

These folks came to my house to demonstrate a Rainbow vacuum. Since I signed up for this at a home show, they promised they would only take around an hour, and they would give us a free air purifier. They not only stayed an hour, it turned into 3 hours. They were constantly asking questions about our finances, very personal questions as well. I had had enough, and told the couple to pack up the vacuum, we had no more time to sit and listen to their nonsense. They were simply not going to leave until they sold us a vacuum. We asked politely several time, then they proceeded to tell us we would not get the air purifier if we did not buy the vacuum cleaner. That is not what they told us at the home show. This was in Anderson, S.C.

I purchased the Rainbow system over 4 months ago. After reading these reviews I was afraid that entered into a contract that was misleading. However, I followed the guidelines for the Go4it program in order to receive my system for free. I completed my 12 demos in less than 90 days and the company honored their word and I received the money to pay off the system. I had 5 sales out of the 12 and I made my 13th sale. I will admit it was a lot of work but ultimately it was worth it. I received lots of incentives and all the attachments.

Rainbow did not mention nothing about a $2900 vacuum costing $4000. We got the Rainbow and were told it was going to $2900 total. Come to find out a month later that the company took a loan out for $4000 for the vacuum. I did not consent to a $4000 loan being taken out for a vacuum. I could have gotten the same product for less than $1000 online. This company is a scam. Don't waste your money.

I've owned and used my Rainbow for 11 years. It cleans like no other. All of these people complaining about what they have to clean out of the water basin and the smells need to stop living like pigs! If you've got all that crap in the basin after you vacuum or shampoo then your rainbow is working! Morons! If your carpet never gets 100% clean, then it's time for new carpet. You've trashed yours beyond belief by living like animals. Those of you complaining about financing, you signed the freaking contract! You wanted it, so you signed it to get what you wanted. You! Don't blame anyone else. We financed ours originally for about 2 years and paid it off. It's still saved me money on buying replacement vacuums and bags over an 11 year period. And it prolonged the life of our original carpet to 9 years. And it was cheap carpet! Rainbow is the best!

I have MS. The seller said it would be good for me since I am auto immune. She said it would be easy for me to use. Well I have to say NOT. I have fallen 2 times putting it together. I called the seller and she said "well you can pay someone to use it to clean your house." Can't afford that. I asked her to pick it up since it's only been used 1x for $1000. She said she would tell a new person she's training. I tried to call the distributor but no answer. They're such a sham I can't believe it. And she is at home conventions trying to get people by saying you might win a air purifier.

I absolutely loved the vacuum itself but the tactics they use are horrible not to mention if you don't have the 3000 to scoop out right then and there they have easy monthly payments but if you actually read it you're now paying a grand total of 6000 so I respectively ask for the return till I could pay in full. So now the manager or owner or someone whose ** clearly does not stink to them calls me, starts off nice and then when she realized my mind wasn't changing now I'm questioned on maybe I just can't afford it cause 100 a month is worth it... not when it equals 2x the price (just cause I love a car I'm not gonna pay 2x the money for it when I could wait and pay half) and they have a work for it program. She says "well we probably wouldn't even hired you from what it sounds like."

DO NOT BUY THIS VAC. It is a rip-off. They will charge you 24 percent interest and for your 2300 dollar vacuum, after 2 years of paying 89 a month with 49 a month in interest, we still owe 2100 dollars. We're cancelling the automated payment and contacting our attorney. High-pressure sales and empty promises were delivered and we got a defective vac and we did not get the fragrances or the humidifier or ANYTHING we were promised.

The vacuum is wonderful and I would buy it again. One of the "perks" was that if you had allergies/asthma, you could get a prescription and have it written off on your taxes. Our daughter is 3 and does have allergies/asthma BUT she tested negative to the dust mite which is how you would get a prescription. They use this as a selling point but need to be more forthcoming about the information given. We would have purchased anyway because we know several people who have had them for long periods of time. We also have 3 large inside dogs and the Dyson Animal we purchased in 2009 stunk even after cleaning filters... It also lost suction.

Machine stopped working within 3 mos. of purchase. Took it to a Rainbow store for either exchange or repair, they refused to do so. When told it was financed and could not continue to pay for something that doesn't work the response was "we already got paid. It's up to you to pay the financing company." We are stuck with a broken machine and harassing phone calls.

I have owned Rainbows now for 24 years. Yes the water thing can be a hassle but I love that my house is cleaner longer than it ever was before. The floor has very little dirt when I do vacuum and I only have to dust once a month and I live on a dirt road. Yes it is expensive but I have only bought two machines in 24 years so the math is awesome. No filters and no bags.

So, this all started cause my fiance put his name in a mall drawing for a displayed John Deere riding lawnmower. He got a call saying we are part of the 25 finalists and won a 3 day, 2 night trip to a place of our choosing in the US and that logistics would be squared away via home visit. The first visit didn't pan out cause I was at work and apparently both parties need to be present. So yesterday the guy came with a Rainbow shirt on and discussed the trip for maybe 5 minutes (which was apparently only hotel inclusive, the plane or car ride expense wasn't included). Then he brought in a Rainbow and wasted our time by throwing a 3 hour show in our living room about a $3000 multi purpose vacuum cleaner.

I love everything about my Rainbow system and I have had it for 3 years. It does not stink as one of the reviews on here said. That means you sucked something stinky up and you need to wash your hose and basin. It never clogs. I don't have to clean nearly as often because I actually pick up all the dirt. It's a dream. Totally worth the investment.

Rainbow makes a great vacuum but has horrible marketing skills. After a 2 1/2 hour demo, I was very interested, but always like to think about large purchases for a day or 2. Well, I just witnessed the salesman go from nice to "nasty"... Totally disgusted, I purchased online from a reputable for 1/4 of the price and am very satisfied. My item appears to be brand new factory condition. My friends were supposed to get a small token referral bonus and are being ignored. I'm not sure why a company who makes a great product chooses to operate in this poor manner.

After owning a Rainbow over a year, I have to write a review. Only, because every time I use it, (which is every day), I complain. First of all, I like a very clean home. I like how rainbow does clean. BUT this cleaner is the most disgusting thing I have ever had to clean. I think I'd rather clean a port-a-john than this machine. Well, it's probably about the same as a port-a-john! The bin that holds the water smells like death, a sewer, a constipated person, I don't know, whatever smell is the worse in your life.

So I thought I was going into something easy to do when I choose the go for it program but this is just a time bomb waiting to explode. Rainbow does not pay you the complete money to pay for the Rainbow after taxes and interest from the 3rd party lender who pays Rainbow & gave you a loan. Next they disqualified your show for the stupidest reason if they don't get a sale. I did 16 shows as of today and only 11 qualified... Simple stuff as 1 of the couple work full-time but is on call because of her injury and the other that keep freaking me out is if 1 of the couple parent live in the home. It's call a multi-family home. It even gets worst if you tell the rep who is doing the show that the mother help with some bills because staying with them...

If someone calls you and said they drew your name for a FREE aromatherapy machine that you filled out at Bikes & Blues, HANG UP. It's not a free gift like they lead you to believe at their kiosk. What it is, they bring your "gift" out and before you get what you WON by having your name drawn is, you have to sit through the presentation for the Rainbow Cleaning System. So, your name WASN'T drawn by luck. They went through ALL the slips filled out, under false pretenses, and picked the LOCAL names.

I am giving them 1 star because you have to rate in order to give a review. First of all, I was pissed because my time was wasted. He said the demo would be 45 min to an hour. An hour later he is still rattling and I am tapping the face of my watch. I am not a fan of salesman when it comes to consumer sales and I definitely did not like the beat around the bush approach, casually and covertly throwing shade and trying to be witty but sounding like an ass. They give you the free gift (the mini air cleaner) but then yank out a big advertisement for a $3000 set of pots. NEXT. He pulls out a flood light and calls it a black light trying to show us the dust in the air. OK. What's your point? Then he pulls this huge thing out of the box, puts water in it and turns it on. YAWN. Ok so at this point I am like... "listen we are not interested. This "air cleaner" is way overpriced. We are not paying 3k for this."

I wanted to say that I was skeptical at first as I am certain all people would be! I love the Rainbow system!! It is amazing as a cleaning system and keeps the air fresh in my home!! However, I wasn't sure if I would really get the money back for doing the "Go for it" program. I had nothing to lose, so I started booking the referrals. I followed the guidelines they gave me and had no issues on my program. I read all these reviews and find it really hard to believe that these people did not get the same treatment I did. I have had a great experience and got my checks yesterday in the mail!!! This is a great opportunity to earn one for free and I love my system. I had some really great and fun reps, now some were little better than others, but it was still entertaining! Thank you Rainbow.

I absolutely love the effectiveness of the Rainbow. It will definitely live up to expectations. I see a lot of negative reviews, but its usually just people upset because it's expensive or they had the misfortune of a bad sales rep/distributor. I had very nice and informative reps, they were hardly pushy. We are blessed with an amazing local distributor and team. I decided to earn my free Rainbow, and I most definitely got paid! Its a great product, and its worth the extra money.

Rainbow Go4it program is a scam. I accepted the Rainbow Vacuum knowing after I was told about the Go4it program of selling 2 vacuum to my closest friends and relatives. I was told that I only had to do 12 shows to be qualify for the full payment of the vacuum. I sold three vacuums. At the ninth show, I ask for confirmation of completed shows and was given the correct # of shows. Upon completion of my 12th show, I requested my gifts and compensation check to pay off the vacuum. After a few emails, I received a reply back from Norma, (the crook) that manages the program stating that one of my show was disqualified and that they had sent me out an email stating this and I did not respond back.

After a demo I decided to buy the Rainbow Vacuum using the Go4It program. This is the big mistake in my life. The rep used tactic to make me buy. I called the rep the third day because I changed my mind. I did want to return the item. Never heard about him. I called several times, send email to the customer manager but she told me it's too late. I tried to book friends for the demo, I couldn't find any rep. I ended up with a bill over $3000. I never told by the Rainbow agent that it will be financed by another company. They asked me to filed for bankruptcy which I don't want to. JANE FROM DOUGLASVILLE you can contact me. I would like that to stop. This is a scam. Be aware people.

I love this machine and everything about it. Mine is going to be 10 years old in August and still runs like it did out of the box. I have really bad allergies and that's why I bought the machine. It does wonders for the air quality - I might have to dust with a rag once a month, if that, because weekly vacuuming with this machine takes care of dust in the house. I will say their sales people and sales tactics are sketchy. You have to do your research and be 10 steps ahead of those people. Their goal is to SELL you add-ons, play games with you to "earn" add-ons (like give me 10 names and phone numbers and you get a steamer). Your goal should be to get just the vacuum for the least amount of money! You'll love it!

I have owned my Rainbow for 10 years, no issues. I think the people having problems are probably not using them properly or cleaning them after use. It is superb for removing dog hair, cleaning cars, and shampooing carpet (with the optional aquamate). I sold these in high school to earn my mother a free system. That was 15 years ago and her system still works like new, no issues. When used properly, I have heard these will last 20-25 years. The cost isn't really an issue when you factor in that longevity. In order to learn how to use one properly, you need a demonstration. Don't just buy on eBay, unless you have owned one before.

A friend asked me to sit for a demo for her in other to keep hers for free. So I and my husband sat for 3 1/2 hours to watch the demonstration. I liked the cleaning power of the Rainbow and decided to keep it and do the same "go4it" program my friend did. The price after a $600 discount was supposed to be $2760, which would be reimburse by Rainbow after completing 12 "approved" shows. I did 13 shows in less than 40 days. 4 of my friends kept the Rainbow. I then requested for my $2760 check, and a representative emailed me stating only 9 of my 13 shows were qualified. I then requested for the list of the unqualified shows and the reason it was disqualified but they never responded to my mails nor my calls. Mind you, I followed their qualification guidelines thoroughly and I knew I met all their requirements, but Rainbow refused to keep their own side of the deal.

I cannot and will not believe what you people are writing. I own a home childcare. Use my Rainbow several times a day every day. No issues. We use it to clean the air as well. I did earn my system free. So the bs lies need to stop. Rainbow system has changed my life for the better. I have asthma and since we've gotten our system I have not been sick at all and my husband does not snore anymore. It's a win win for all of us.

We were given one when my mother in law upgraded to a newer rainbow and we used it for several years until we moved overseas and I gave it away. I believe it was a D4. When we moved back to the states I regretted giving it up and bought a newer rainbow I found on eBay, an E series. Since the water catches all the dirt and dust it helps with my allergies. We flush the water down the toilet - not difficult at all and we don't need bags. Most of the complaints I've read seem to be centered around the sales and service. Since we bought a used one on eBay we have no opinion. We don't leave the water in the tank when we're not using it and we haven't run into any maintenance issues. We've been using this vacuum for over 9 years now and haven't had any issues. The only downside I've found is as I get older carrying it upstairs gets a little old.

Elite Solutions claims that you will earn a free Rainbow if you do 20 qualified demonstrations. They say that you do not have to sell. However, the only way you make money is by selling. If within the 20 demos you do not sell 1 out of 5 demonstrations he will have a trainer go with you. They make it very hard to actually earn a Rainbow for free. They trap you into purchasing a Rainbow by going on the equity program fully knowing that most people do not earn theirs for free. They also hire people claiming they will make $2000 bi-weekly no sales required. That too is misleading. I would not purchase a Rainbow or work for Elite Solutions located in Sioux Falls ever again.

We bought Rainbow Vacuum around $3,000, about 6 years ago. We have a big family and a lot of people use it several times a week. In 6 years we repaired that vacuum around 4 times, and it cost us around all together around $2,000. So buy vacuum like Toyota that is durable and requires very little maintenance, don't waste your money on a vacuum like BMW that requires a lot, lot of maintenance, and it's not durable. Yes, this vacuum cleans excellent if you have dog, and washes carpet really good. If you don't have pets in the house, don't waste your money.

I found out the hard way that the distributorship operated by Barrington Francis in Atlanta office is corrupted and dishonest. He has reps go out with Rainbow systems that appear to be new in the box. Actually they are mostly demo units that have been cleaned up and put back into new boxes. Here is what they do. They DEMO what they call a new unit and if you decide to buy it, then you get that unit.

I had the displeasure of having a 4.5 hour long demo at my house for the Rainbow. While it is impressive, it does not merit taking up that much of my time. I have also had the horrific experience of being stalked and harassed by the salesman. He also did this with several friends and relatives after being told no repeatedly. This high pressure sales pitch coupled with the harassment absolutely astounds me as a preferred business tactic. I would NEVER support this company after what they put me and my friends through. The salesman also made up a fake program in order to "earn" a free Rainbow. This NEVER happened.

We participated in the referral program for a friend. I felt very pressured the entire time. I hesitantly proceeded. The whole time the rep was seeking sympathy for only having one car & used lines that was almost insulting to us as customers. I was impressed by the machine & now we are in the process of trying to refer other people to rainbow dealer. Show 12 & sell 2. The only problem is when I set one up the dealer never follows through & is able to show the product. Stories change & so far we have yet to show this to a friend. We no do not want to keep asking friends & family to see this product since our dealer is not able to help us out. I have talked to some other people & they have experienced similar issues with referral program. Please use caution when using this program.

Please run very fast from this company. Good product way overpriced. Can buy them for about a third of the cost off Amazon and eBay all day long. High pressure sales tactics - will give you one for free if you do so many demos - that's a bold face lie. Way too expensive and extreme high pressure to sign you up today. Only reason I gave them one star is that it will not take your review if you don't.

DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT buy this system. If you get a sales person telling you won the little Rainbow system which do a damn thing. Then they pull out the vacuum and show how much better than the one you currently. So they do their routine and you will obviously are impressed. Stop right then and there and throw them out the door. I was stupid thinking it's better than my Shark. They neglected to tell you how heavy it is so going up and down stairs is out of the question, it's TOO HEAVY. Plus they don't tell you anything about longer horse, nor about the cleaning the hardwood floors or tile, that you have to buy separately. I just bought 2 mos. ago and it's worthless. $3,000 gone for a worthless machine.

So, I entered a drawing for an air purifier at my cat's veterinarian office. Apparently I was chosen as a winner. They called me to tell me I won and insisted they drop the purifier off at my house. I asked if I could pick it up and they said no. So, I set a time for them to drop it off... A guy came over, brought a very different version of the purifier I entered to win, then asked if he could show me the big purifier. I said ok. This turned into an hour long demo then a 20-minute high-pressure sales talk to buy a $2800 air purifier. I said no many times and the price magically dropped to 1800. I still said no and the salesperson said most people could afford $50 a month... At this point I almost got hood on him. He also made me feel awful that I didn't help him win his monthly sales contest. Never enter a drawing for one of these purifiers. I felt very disrespected and caught off guard.

When I purchased this rainbow cleaning system, I was told that I could use a credit card. But since I was waiting for a new one in the mail, I decided to give my checking account info. After couple of weeks, I received a letter in the mail stating that my contract was purchased by United Consumer Financial Services. So I called them up immediately to pay this off by credit card, since that's what my original intent was. Customer service said they don't accept Amex.

I first bought the Rainbow in 1998, had been suffering from asthma and some other allergies for years. Since using the Rainbow, my symptoms have very much alleviated and I'm healthier than ever. I have been looking around for any other product in the market that is as good as the Rainbow if not better, so far I have not heard or seen any in the market. Recently I have traded in for the latest version Rainbow, and it's even more incredible than my old Rainbow. Just love the machine!!

We were scammed into buying this vacuum from them without making it clear that we would be paying over 4,000.00 for A VACUUM. They will not work with us on this amount. We can't afford to pay this kind of money for a vacuum that is a lot of work just to use it, having to put water in it and hooking everything up on it before you can even start, then having to redo the water every few mins to keep it working right. If anyone knows how we can get out of this mess please let me know. The way they got us to buy into this should get them FIRED.

The product cleans better for allergies than any other vacuum I have tried and lasts more than long enough to be worth the price. A company I worked with in the restoration and museum industry will not use anything else on 16th century tapestries actually and the Rainbow company replaced several motors on their 20 year plus models. Never have I seen so much pulled out of a carpet and the water dumping was super easy. While I dislike the company's pushy nature and sales reps, I wouldn't buy any others anymore. The quality of the equipment well makes up for the price as it works well for a very long time and they are pretty good about replacing warranty parts.

Went to a show in San Diego, got a call that we were randomly selected to receive a free Rainmate, that they would come down and deliver the product. Well 3 hours later after demonstrating the Rainbow system, they tried everything to get us to buy right now. And give them names to contact people. After they left they left their mess behind, and we never got our Rainmate. "We will ship it to you." All in all beware of them, it sounds like a good Idea, but it's not worth it.

Great product, absolute worst company I have ever worked for. I've never written reviews or been the type to complain, I'm very kind and gave this company many chances. I was not paid twice by two different dealers who owned their own offices! The first one quit Rainbow because of their unprofessionalism and the other, Anita **, just wanted to constantly call and text my phone for my help and claimed how great she was and how she would never not pay someone LOL! Yet when I wanted to mention my last paycheck, no answer! If you are in Florida in the St. Pete area do not purchase a Rainbow from those snakes.

I did the program (show 12 demos and sell 2) to get my Rainbow for free. I did 12 demos and sold 2. The rainbow reps told me that they were qualified sells. Around the time I was supposed to receive my checks the office contacted me to tell me one of my sales did not qualify. First, the reps at the demo had already told me they qualified. Second, I finished my program a month early, but they waited until my program expired to inform me one of them was not qualified. MISLEADING AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I've owned my Rainbow for 2 years that I purchased from Craig in Reading and it works great for my pet hair and my daughter's asthma! Wouldn't use anything else as this is my second one - had my first for 12 years before trading it in. Have owned other high end vacuums and none compare to it. I do have friends that haven't had the best optimal experience with some of their representatives, but that doesn't take away from the machine being the best of the best. Highly recommend this machine for people with pets and allergies!

My mother has dementia. SOMEHOW (I'm guessing from a sub-contractor building her a new gate) a sales rep got her phone number. My sister called by chance at 3:00. My mother said she couldn't talk, there were people there. My mother, NEVER a social butterfly, has become a shut-in. Red flags. My sister called back at 4:30. The 2 men (WHAT?!) were still there. I grabbed my lover after work and charged over. These (2) 25 year-old college students, very handsome, said, "You must be the daughter," and started packing up, while starting the sales pitch on me. I walked over to the receipt. The man was holding the signed check from my mother for $3200. I literally gasped. I saw my mother's face change, and she realized she had made a TERRIBLE mistake.

I purchased a rainbow vacuum for my mother a number of years ago as a gift. The product exceeded our expectations. Although different in structure and design from many vacuum cleaners that use bags to collect dust (rainbow uses water), this vacuum displays excellent cleaning capabilities. It traps dust and debris in water. The collected debris is not fun to empty, but does demonstrate how much dirt convention bag vacuums sometimes miss. My only regret is that the Rainbow vacuum costs so much today, it is quite expensive when many competing products sell for a few hundred dollars. I would recommend the Rainbow cleaning system to everyone. It is an excellent product and very well built.

A representative came to my home, I had a bad feeling about the product. The presentation took three hours too long. I did unfortunately purchase the rainbow vacuum. I stopped paying on the vacuum and I receive call twice a day every day even on Sunday. I just had a so-called representative show up at my door today to collect on the money I owe. Last time I checked even if the account goes into collections, I never thought I would see the day they come to your door to collect. I would never recommend purchasing or even have a representative come to your home. I regret purchasing this product!

An ex-friend, who is my neighbor, begged me continually to have the salesperson come over and do a demo. After cleaning my house extensively, the neighbor, the salesman and another man enter my home. I only said A salesman can come over... unsettling feeling begins. They start the Demo with checking out and commenting on the things in my home. He called me "HONEY" too and was quite flamboyant! (No ONE calls me HONEY!)

Funny how the major complainers are those who can't or won't afford this best cleaning system ever. You can't beat water for cleaning, no one has to convince anyone. Just see and decide for yourself like I did. Use your own judgement and don't even believe my word for it, see for yourself. Being open minded to awesome things in life is not for the average to see or have. Never having heard of the rainbow I watched the demo for the sake of being open minded and the words "clean" earth friendly 10 in 1 machine.

We did a demo to help out a friend. Long story short, the sales rep put on a good show and we ended up getting this vacuum. I hate it. Too bulky, and the finance company does NOT have any compassion. We live on one income and sometimes there just ain't enough money to pay on it. I wish we had never, ever bought this darn thing. So, I do not recommend buying this vacuum, no matter how good the demo is.

A rep came to my house to perform the demo and I loved the product. However, he left me with the unit that he used for the demo & he packed up the box that the vacuum came in and took it & my trade in, which by the way is BS!!! YOU STILL END UP PAYING A LITTLE OVER $2,800 & if you finance, it's over $3000!!! Out of my referrals, someone purchased a unit from the same Rep but she received a brand new one instead of the one used during the demo. She also received a follow up call from the company. I got none of that! The rep was nice but as he went to the referrals I had given him, he discussed information about me that had nothing to do with selling the product with at least one of them. I am fine with my expensive purchase but totally dissatisfied with the customer service.

The product seemed reliable but couldn't impulse buy. The rep left EOs behind and returned the next day to retrieve them unexpectedly and unannounced with another man. Im a single woman with children working from home and felt unsafe.

After winning a rain mate Tammy ** told us we could try their Rainbow machine till the end of the month to decide if we wanted to purchase it. We decided we didn't want it because both myself and my girlfriend were getting allergic reactions to the oils they told us to use. Now they are unwilling to refund us. They never mentioned anything about a 3 day no return policy. Tammy and Todd are clearly only refusing the return because they only care about their commission on the product.

I am on my 2nd rainbow, not because it broke, but because I wanted to upgrade and I love the new rainbow so much more, and how it cleans the air. Our little one does not have to take her allergy meds anymore and the best part is we are not in the ER every weekend because of her allergies being so bad. We had a friend come out to show us the new rainbow, and of course we fell in love with it. No I could not pay for it at that time, so we did a payment plan. But the best part of the payment plan was I DID NOT PAY FOR MY RAINBOW!!! I DID GET IT FOR FREE!! Rexair has an awesome and amazing opportunity to where you can actually get your investment back, and that is exactly what I did. They gave me 90 days and all I had to do was show it to 20 people, and only had to sell 1 after the 20! That is the easiest thing in the world.

I have had my Rainbow for over 9 years and absolutely love it! I saw the smaller unit in a vet office and it smelled great! I put my information in the box and they called about a week later. They were very honest with me that I would get the small machine for free but my spouse and I had to watch a demonstration of the larger product. I was told how long it would take and who would be coming. The demonstration was great and I was never pressured to buy anything. Of course I did purchase the system! I even referred several friends who watched the demo also. Some bought and some didn't but they all liked the product and the representatives that came to their homes.

I almost didn't buy my Rainbow 15 years ago because it only had a 5 year warranty. I'm SO happy I decided to get it. It is the best vacuum I have ever owned. It far out cleans anything out there. I find it very simple to go from the vacuum, to the attachments and back again. It is a feature I love. While cleaning it can be a pain, it is not difficult and over time, I have adjusted to it. Personally, I will never own another brand of vacuum. It works as good today, 15 years later, as it did the day I bought it.

I have been using Rainbow vacuum cleaners for over 30 years. This is my 3rd one. The former models had metal connection on hoses and plug ins, Springs were made of metal. Now these were replaced with plastic and so many have failed and it is not worth any more to repair.

The saying that only negative reviews are found online holds true for this vacuum. My mother bought this vacuum when I was in college 20 years ago. It immediately made a difference in my allergies and asthma. Matter in fact, they all but went away. Now I have my own for my family along with all of my siblings. Read the instructions and take care of your vacuum. Forgot to mention, my mom's machine still works, 20 years later. I still have a cheaper $100 vacuum and use this one 1x per week. You will be amazed what comes out of your carpet. Will forever have this in my home.

Like many others on here, I saw their booth at a city festival. Said they were giving away an outdoor fire place. I signed up for the drawing. Got phone calls for next few nights from unknown number. Finally returned call on day three to see who kept calling me. It was Rainbow Vacuum rep who said although I was not the winner of the fire pit they would like to give me a small room purifier if I agree to watch a demo of the house product. They just happened to have someone in my neighborhood as we spoke on the phone. Imagine that! Someone showed up at my house about 20 minutes later. She came in and set up the small unit for me to keep. Then brought in several large boxes for the demo which she said would take about 45 minutes. Turned out ot be over an hour.

I purchased a Rainbow cleaner at the NYS Fair. My mom had two in all the time I recall. The last one was purchased in 1986. I used my mom's old cleaner for a while now, and thought it might be a good time to replace it with a newer, easier to use version. I paid $1600 + (including NYS tax) with the trade in of my mom's still working cleaner. I was told the new cleaner was over $3K and with a trade of $1800 for my mom's cleaner. The problem I have is that when I got home and Googled the price of a new Rainbow, it was around $1800 WITH no trade in. Thus, a trade of $1800 should have made my new rainbow = $0! (This is not the new common core math - just arithmetic!) So did I get a raw deal at the NYS fair?

I went to visit my family and when I arrived they has someone that knocked on their door giving a demo. As I was waiting to visit my family my parents were very impressed and knows how I vacuum and carpet clean a lot so they said "come check it out." "No thanks." But at the end of the demo the lady said my parents could get a free gift for just seeing a demo. What the heck. So I agreed. They found someone 1 1/2 where I live to come out and do a demo (San Diego county). They came out and very nice sweet uppity. We had a Kirby and understand good vacuums cost money (had Kirby for over 10 + years was quite a bit of money but knew they could lower it which they did and instead of thousands it was hundreds) BUT sales people also get commission. So we are watching.

My Rainbow vacuum is 34 years old, having cleaned up after 4 kids and multiple animals. I took it in for servicing periodically. It does better than any vacuum out there. Yes, it's expensive but how many other brands last even 10 years? All these complaints are about the independent sales people trying to make big bucks. I know mine is due to give up the ghost; hoped we could go together, but I WILL buy another Rainbow, even if it is reconditioned. After all, I'm 80. I love my Rainbow.

Going in, I could have told you that no vacuum is worth $2,400. But the sales presentation was good and spoke to concerns we have - keeping our 100 year old hardwood floors in good condition, keeping up with LOTS of pet hair, keeping air quality high, and minimizing our impact on the environment - and we made the leap.

I met a lady at my place of work. Was super posh and a happy person altogether. I noticed multiple boxes in her car with bright colors and by this point I was comfortable enough to ask her what they were. She had been our customer for over a year and I would have liked to think we had that consumer company relationship most business strive for. She told me she sold Rainbow and would love to give me a presentation. She had mentioned something about a humidifier so I assumed that is what she was selling. We agreed to a time where she could come down and thus it started. She showed us the humidifier two days later and told us it was a gift. I was shocked, so sweet! Then she brought out the vacuum. We told her outright we were not going to get it. She insisted on showing us anyway. Not wanting to hurt her feels we agreed to see what it could do.

Part of the sales pitch said we would get a free two-night hotel stay if we purchased the Rainbow Vacuum. I specifically asked, "Is it one of those timeshare sales deals where they try to talk you into buying a timeshare?" And the salesperson said, "No, absolutely not. It's just a free two-night stay in a hotel!" After I mailed in a check for my $50.00 "refundable" deposit for this vacation, I received a phone call from the travel company and they stated that yes, on the second day of the hotel stay, I must attend a mandatory 120 minutes long time share presentation!!! And I don't get my $50.00 back until I complete that! Plus, the refund is in the form of a check, mailed to me later (so now I'M worried I will never, ever receive that refund either). Just wanted to let anyone else know, if you ever talk to anyone about this. If they offer you a free vacation, it's a timeshare presentation -- two hours out of your only full day on the vacation. Definitely a rip-off and a lie!

I was very skeptical. I didn't see how this could possibly be a better vacuum than my expensive one. My husband bought it and piece by piece it won me over. First, it's not just a vacuum. There was a fire and it smelled terrible. We shut the house up, turned on the rainbow and the air was clean and clear in minutes. Hmmmmm, my vacuum couldn't do that. This breakthrough was quickly followed by: all the dirt and dog hair that came up AFTER I just vacuumed with the old one. I didn't have to buy bags, I sucked up a scorpion (on purpose) and didn't have to wonder if it was alive crawling around in the bag!!! I started to notice the carpets looking better too. Bouncier. Using water as a filter is so awesome. Once you experience it, you won't go back. The funniest/grossest thing I have used it for is to clear out the GIANT wad of toilet paper my grandson put down the toilet. No plumber, no declogger, just some extra time sanitizing it!

I can't believe how well made this machine is! I will never need anything else to clean my home. My favorite part is that it's a 24/7 Air Purifier/Humidifier. Then it changes into a vacuum that has changed the look & feel of my carpet. It's like new!

I had purchased the new version of the Rainbow 2 months ago after a wonderful young man came into my home and showed me the product. I suffer from bad allergies specifically in the spring and early fall. Although I was sceptical at first, the Rainbow has SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my allergies and I no longer need to take a pill as soon as I wake up. A perk is that my house looks great, too (much better than when I used to swiffer)! I would personally recommend the product to anyone and have my vacation booked for Niagara Falls with my wife from the free hotel stay she left with us. Overall great product and great sales rep!

I answered a knock on my door on a Tuesday afternoon. There were two gentlemen there. One handed me a bottle of Tide laundry detergent and told me his company was opening a 'cleaning store' on our main street close to Dollar General. I told him I wasn't interested in anything he was selling and he said he wanted to show me how to keep my carpets clean. I told him I had wood floors. He wanted to see them and without thinking I let him and his friend in. The second man went to the car and started carrying in boxes. I told them I wasn't interested and they continued. To make a long story short, the demonstration of the Rainbow sweeper took two hours. Then the hard sell came after telling me several times how dirty my house was.

In order to help a friend get his "free" gift, my husband and I agreed to the free demonstration of the "air purifier". The presenter arrived on time. She gave us our free gift of a Dollar Store BBQ tool set. She proceeded to re-arrange the living room for the presentation. Was pleased as punch to find we had a cat. She self-proclaimed herself as a feisty Italian from New York. What amazed us was the speed of her speech. It was an amazing spiel-not once did she repeat herself, was in full control of her information. She proceeded with demonstration which if it can be believed is awesome.

Love the vacuum, customers service not so. We love the vacuum. We were told that we would receive a free shampoo brush. We received a text message that she was going to bring it by. Then 2 relatives told us that demonstrator said that we were going to receive cookware. We didn't receive that either. Wasn't offered any other products at the time. We also wanted the shampooing system.

I purchased a Rainbow air purifier/cleaner over a year ago and it is truly the best investment I could've possibly made. It is the last cleaner I will ever need to have for every inch of my house. I actually read some of these reviews while deciding to make my purchase and I am so happy I decided to purchase one! I have to say some of the people make absolutely no sense! I saw what the Rainbow did for my home in the short time the rep was here. That was proof enough. I decided to get the machine off of what my own eyes saw. I am glad that I didn't listen to any of the people who wrote negative reviews.

Went to a Fair and these people had a tent there with an air purifier. They told me I was entering to win one of many gift cards and the air purifier. They called me a few days later to say that I'd won a gift card and they'd drop it off at my house. So two men show up and one says he's going to get me the gift card while the other man does a "demonstration of the air purifier." The next thing I know this man is lugging in multiple boxes. I figured since they were here I might as well be polite, it would be a quick demonstration, and I did win a gift card (at least I thought.) Two hours later the second man returns and starts pushing us to buy a Rainbow Vacuum that costs $4,000. He's very rude, mentions all the dirt it picked up and starts using my 2-year-old daughter to try to guilt me into buying this machine saying it's unhealthy to not have this vacuum blah, blah, blah.

My mom gave me a rainbow vacuum over 20 years ago (she had it 5 years previous) and I have no complaints whatsoever. Never loses suction. Easy to maintain, a great machine. I would not trade it for any machine sold today.

We had a demonstration in our home and were given the papers to complete for a 3 day vacation. We completed the form and mailed it in. Your promise was to send us choice places and dates. We never heard back. The sales rep, **, advised we contact **, **. For the last 4 weeks there's been no contact. Can you help?

In my lifetime I have owned three Rainbows... not because they broke, it's because my ex-wives took them in the divorce. I love my rainbow. It is the best vacuum I have ever owned. Some people just don't know how to use it. If you take care of it, it works great. I highly recommend the Rainbow. Some people can't afford it, they do have a payment plan. And I like to say to those people that got scammed: Sorry... this is a great product. And this time I had a prenuptial agreement only on the vacuum... lol. My wife loves it.

I recently purchased my second Rainbow vacuum cleaner. I bought my first one in 1980 and since my oldest child was moving into her own place, I gave her my old rainbow and I got a new one. I absolutely love the fact that my Rainbow is now an air purifier! It runs all the time on the whisper mode and I have definitely noticed a reduction in the amount of dust in my house. The improvements to the power nozzle makes it so versatile I can do all the floor surfaces in my house with one tool carpet tile wood and stone. The power mop and the shampooer attach easily and I can quickly convert my main unit to shampoo or mop all the services in my house. I love my Rainbow, my family is healthier and my home is cleaner. Oh and I've never had to service problem in over 30 years!
