We have 2 of them out in the shed. I'm not a big fan... the first time I used one, it kept clogging up. I'll keep an old Kirby for heavy-duty work (other than shop-vac kinda stuff), but I'm aiming to get a new Rainbow for daily general use. |

I have a 75th anniversary which is pretty much the same thing only in different colors. I bought it the same day i went to the twin cities to buy my Tristar, on the way back i was thinking about it since it was on the way so i stopped and bought it. It's a fairly nice machines i love the way the handle feels in your hand, really comfortable i think. I don't like how much noise the new power nozzle makes though seems like it vibrates a lot, though i suppose it's a bit better than pushing around "a stuborn shoebox" :P I do like the direct connects on the wand/Pn though despite hearing about that being faulty.

From what i've heard they tend to go for 1500+ usually into the 2000s. Comparing it to a Kirby...i'd stick with the Kirby, it has strong suction and it's airflow is pretty good when it's clean pulling about a 3 on my baird guage but the cone does clog up pretty quickly, don't get me wrong i do like my FQs but in terms of deep cleaning power the Kirby is definitely the way to go between the two. As for Filtration, the filter queen with a medipure is better the active charcoal the exhaust smells fresh and clean.

I understand, but that really sucks. I thought there was another close by, ok 32 miles away, but closer than some. John, Filter-Queen, Kirbys sale? Pictures? price? spill it. |
