Rainbow salespersons certainly spin a great yarn, but when Consumer Reports runs their tests, the Rainbow has very disappointing results. Kirby, on the other hand, aces the carpet cleaning test. Any ideas why this is? |

Although the Rainbow has good airflow and suction at the hose connection, it becomes much less effective after 6 + feet of hose and wand.
The Kirby puts all 115 CFM of airflow just 3 inches from the carpet surface not to mention the Kirby's brushroll is larger and more aggressive than the Rainbow's PN. |
