I own one, but hardly ever use it because it's too noisy and it doesn't have any lights like the newest one has. Sirena makes one that cost less and I kinda want one it but not sure if it's loud or not . |

At first I thought it was so cool....but that wore off quickly. All it does is send scent throughout the room. If you use tap water and it's hard, it will start getting all over the top of the unit. I decided to just stop using it. I prefer just putting the scent in the rainbow itself and it goes all over the house much better when I'm cleaning.

I have the lighted black one. I use genuine scents in mine, but not just a few drops like it says. I actually squirt the fragrance in. You will still have to
move it from room to room. I usually put it in my kitchen and then my master bath. I have two Rainbows. An SE PE and a Black E2. I squirt the scent in the water basins as well. The scent is much better in the SE PE, due to no Hepa Filter. I use it while doing my vacuuming with the scent in it. With that said, I actually prefer my SE PE over the E2 for two reasons. The scent is more noticble and I actually feel it has more suction than my E2. Note, I am very careful not to pick up any non wettable items ever.... One more note, if you take the E2 hepa filter out, the E2 has more suction. PR-21 Bud |

My Mom and I have one in every room of the house. We love them. Air "cleaner" it's not however its wonderful for freshening. I don't put drops in I squirt the stuff in.
My Mom does what Rainbow says is a no no but it's worked for her for 15 years or so. She goes to Romancing The Stone in the Mall and buys oil for it. They are fine as long as you clean it very well so it doesn't build up. Her favorite scent is dragon's blood. We have both Rainbow and Thermax versions of these. Both are great. |

Anybody have a favorite genuine Rainbow scent? I hear Fresh Air is very good. |

I had one that matched my Rainbow E series vacuum then I got one the new ones with the lights, it's still a single speed, but there is high and low on the lights. In the winter time I will use it with eucalyptus or I'll throw a couple of Menthol Crystals in the water. I think I paid $40 for mine from my friendly Rainbow dealer.
Hint: don't use too much eucalyptus otherwise it smells like a Koala bear pissed in your bedroom. |
