Well, I went out on a limb, and I may regret it, but as of yesterday, I am officially a dealer for the Sirena Vacuum Cleaner system. I’ve debated on this for sometime now, and I’ve closely read the few reviews I’ve seen here, and I decided it was time to pull the trigger! So, with that said, have any of you here had any experience with the Sirena (good or bad) that you’ve not previously discussed here?

I own one
The Sirena's are fine for someone who can't get a Rainbow. I bought my gold 2 speed in 2006 and the Sirena brand new a 2 or 3 yrs ago (I can't remember). I think it cleans as well as Rainbow but to me, it's just not quite as user-friendly and the quality is not that of a Rainbow. You can just tell. The hoses do feel of high quality, just not the same quality as a rainbow. Same as the plastic housing, the hinges, the dolly...they just have a somewhat cheaper feel to them. But those are minor things, really. Everything about the vacuum is still fine.
It's just that its odd shape takes getting used to. If you lay the unit on its side it sends to flip onto the latches and the latch will pop off, but it's easy to get back on. The underside of the vacuum is harder to clean at the end of use because much of the underside is exposed to more water than the Rainbow and lint, cat hair, dog hair, whatever will stick to that rubber surrounding the separator. With my rainbow, hardly anything sticks to that rubber around the separator and is better quality. All the attachments are extremely similar. The instructions say for vacuuming to fill to the minimum line. This is SO wrong. Either fill to max or between max and min.. Min is not enough water. The filter is easy to take out with screws and wash (if you even need to) The PN is fine. I think the Sirena has a wee bit more airflow/suction than my Rainbow e2 gold, but not much. Conclusion: When you use a Sirena to clean top to bottom, it's the same clean feeling when you're done as if you used a Rainbow. | ||

I found errors in my post above, but it's too late to correct them. That's what I get for being in a hurry. Your customers will buy, not by this machine. And it has a larger basin, not basis. | ||

Thanks everyone!
I'm nervous about this venture, but I think it will be a good one! I already own a newer E2 Rainbow, so I can at least demonstrate both machines for them, and they can see both of them side by side and in action. I figure that would be a good way to help them decide if they want to pay big money for the Rainbow, or more reasonable money for the Sirena, and they would have a reference point. I like the idea of the opening of the basin being larger.....One of my biggest pet peeves of a Rainbow is the small opening and me getting my big hand inside of it to clean it! I'm hoping this will make it easier to clean the Sirena's basin. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it goes. I'll let you all know!

Having operated an authorized Rainbow service center for almost 25 years, before the Vacuum Museum, I sure wish we had the Sirena then. All the D3 and D4 repairs we did, I could have flipped a good 1/4 into a new machine. Now that the parts for D3 and most D4's are obsolete, what a wonderful machine to have for sale. A new motor for a D3 or D4 machine would have cost the consumer at least $400 plus labor, not to mention the rest of the old machine was old too. For $800 with a trade-in Rainbow, a new Sirena would be the way to go.

power nozzle For Kirby'sthebest, if you don't like the power nozzle on the Sirena, there are a few alternatives. The Riccar universal central vacuum power nozzle plug fits the outlet on the Sirena hose perfectly, it offers 6 height adjustments and a long life belt. There's also the battery powered Volt and the Electrolux battery power nozzle. I definitely love my Sirina. Mike | ||

I briefly tried a Sirena while visiting another collector and I really liked it. I thought it had a significant bit of more airflow compared to the current Rainbow E2 with serpentine power head. I also like the Sirena sends the dirt deeper below the water than Rainbow and feel that the motor fans would stay cleaner that way.
Water quickly evaporates in water vacs due to the level of air going into them, Rainbows tend to just barely extend the intake into the water and I feel their design is flawed with how quickly water evaporates. For those reasons and price I think that the Sirena is a better buy. It's just a shame that the Sirena doesn't have the brushless motor, that would be incredible!! | ||

quantum Another great water vac is the Quantum, it's actually cheaper than the Sirena but is very well made, and gets the dirt deeper in to the water than the Rainbow. This is one area that Rexair definitely needs to improve upon. Actually, the Rainbow is the only separator water vac I know of that has this issue, the Hyla, Vivenso, Sirena, Quantum, Ritello and Roboclean all do this much better. Mike | ||

Am I correct in seeing that the Sirena has a CV type wand? That's cool if that's the case.
