Rob, at the Convention on the first night Thursday we were treated to a guest presentor demonstrating the New Rainbow with the blue-lit water pan. Without going into great detail, Rick Jackson of Airflo & Associates Inc. of Maplewood MN certainly proved to my satisfaction that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING other than clean washed air exhausts from a Rainbow.
I resolved then and there to get out my rainbows to vacuum my mattress, mite-guard pad and Duvet from here on in at sheet change time. Dave

Mike & I are overly anxious to get a new Rainbow. My aunt next door bought one, and she lets us use it occasionally. We have access to it just about whenever we need it, but it would still be much better to have one to call our own. Hopefully soon.... | ||

Hey Rob-
Glad you're still liking your Rainbow. I'm still Jealous! I've been using mine the last week a lot. I still like to have a bagged canister to get out and run through the house everyday since I have two cats. But I like my Rainbow too much to be without it. Joel- I still can't believe you were brave enough to take your E 2 apart to clean the fans! You should REALLY do a step by step tutorial on that : D. In the five years I've had my Rainbow, there have been a few times where I just "rinsed the separator" because it didn't look dirty at all. It's only when you get a white toothbrush to clean the separator that you can see that it actually needed cleaning. It only takes a minute to clean it. It must be a very slow buildup because if I clean it each time, the toothbrush isn't dirty. It's only if I go a few times without cleaning it. In my Manual, it actually says the separator is self-cleaning.....In a way.......It is in that the dirt doesn't stick to the separator, but dirt does get into those little grooves/fins. Since I noticed that, I started cleaning mine every time I use it. It's definitely NOT as hard to clean as the PRE-E Series separators were. Those actually would get lint/dirt caught in them (at least from what I remember when my Grandma had her D3 and we used it in the 80s when I was little). Then again, we didn't change the water like we should. It was very thick when we were done vacuuming. I'm sure looking back that we would have qualified as Rainbow abusers. I'm sure the fans in that thing must have been atrocious.......BUT........In ran great for years | ||

Someone also made a good point to me a while back about that material that is under all carpeting (the backing I guess it's called); when you bend a piece of carpet scrap, that it creates sort of a dust. So I think a lot of it has to do with the brush roll and vacuum possible extracting some of that dust. I wonder if that dust is wettable?
