I got a rainbow SE-PE at the goodwill today. Almost complete for $10.

Missing the electric hose, Dolley and shampooer nozzle/hose.


Has the Performance edition power nozzle, Side kick thingy stair power nozzle, non electric hose, a curved and straight extension wand, dusting brush, floor brush, upholstery nozzle, and crevice tool.


Im in the process of cleaning it up. Was quite dirty. Missing the decal that runs across the handle. But otherwise not too bad looking.



Do I need to get a PE edition gas-pump hose to use the power nozzle and side kick?


Pictures coming later.

If I'm correct, you can use the non Performance Edition hose with the power nozzle. I use my Performance Edition hose with the rectangle power nozzle, so I don't see why not.

Ill probably just ask my friend who collects kirbys. He has a closet full of stacked rainbows. He's bound to have a PE hose. lol

Whoops forgot to attach a picture.

Haven't gotten around to cleaning it up all the way but did a little wipe down.

Thats the same one I got to use at my Grandpa's last summer.

Did it come with the caddy?

No caddy unfortunately. My friend has some parts in order for me. Like a new handle decal, dolly, power nozzle motor (this one is seized up- and caked full of dog hair! :S ) as well as a hose.
