I know you'll love that Rainbow. It NEVER smells. You can even pop the basin in the dishwasher. Was that a refurbished one? If not, the new brushrolls for these are MUCH better than the old ones. My D4 can now rival my other canisters with carpet cleaning.
That will be one of your favorite vacuums. - Mitchell

Thank You!

Thank you all for the nice replies, I am now 13 years old. And Mitchell, I am not exactly sure if it is refurbished. I think it was, but never made it to local dealers. It says that it was a "Refurbished: 1981" at least That's what it says. :) I will post a picture of it in a bit.

Hhrrmm.. that's odd

The D4 didn't come out until 1986. Some Rainbow parts have the date that it was patented, not the actual manufacter date.

Woooooooooops....

I read it wrong.... I thought it said '81, but it says 1987. My mistake. :)

My grandmother has one either almost like this or just barely newer that she still uses regularly.

Just as a point of reference, where the motor unit fits over the basin, on the right side of the opening is the serial number, on the left side is the date it was manufactured. I think the date code is by quarters of the year.

Here's a pic of the one I found at Goodwill for an embarrassingly low price about a week ago.

The model D4 was Rainbow's 50th Anniversary Edition. It launched in April of 1986. Only machines made in 86 have the golden anniversary sticker on top. Mine was won during a sales contest in May of 86. I sold more Rainbows than any other salesman one weekend. I've used it probably 10 times its entire life.
