How good does this AquaMate do on deep pile carpets & hard surface floors such as tile? Does it perform better than an ordinary carpet Steam Vac or FloorMate? |

and I think it did a great job on my carpets and super easy to use. I think it extracts better than a regular carpet washer like bissel or hoover......since it has more suction/airflow, plus it's obviously more light weight to push/pull......but overall, I would say it's about the same results, other than my carpets being left dryer using the Rainbow aquamate 3

Now I know the AquaMate 3 works with older Rainbow vacuums! I just ordered an AquaMate 3; all I need to buy are the stainless steel PN wand & hose cord once the new AquaMate arrives This post was last edited 09/18/2013 at 18:24 |

My AquaMate finally arrived today; but I'm waiting for the stainless steel power nozzle wand & hose cord to arrive. I can't wait to use my new AquaMate! |

Looks good, but is that a blue Electrolux cord I see on your Rainbow's hose? You frankensteined your Rainbow! LOL
Just a little tip for anyone that wants to use normal carpet extraction shampoo in the Rainbow, ie. Rug Doctor, Bissell, Hoover etc. I have found that even when diluted properly per the instructions on the bottle, for some reason the Rainbow will make it foam like crazy when the water bowl is being used for the recovery tank. To solve this problem, I dilute the carpet extraction shampoo as directed on the bottle, BUT I add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the recovery tank before starting to clean the carpets. Doing this cuts down on the foaming action & lets you fill the tank to capacity before needing to empty. Rob |

I will try the AquaMate on the "old-school" olive green shag later; but I'm using the chrome PN wand while I wait for the stainless wand to arrive |
