I finally broke down and packed my E2 black rainbow up and sent it in for a cleaning. I was a little hesitant to ship it so I sent my se first and got it back with no shipping damage. Just got it back today and its so clean I kind of hate to use it. The cleaning was $75, HEPA filter was $36 and bearing adaptor asm was $7. Shipping one way was $20. I would have spent more than that for gas to take in down. Should be good for another 7 years or so.

Where did you ship it? I've sometimes wondered if mine would benefit from a good once over.

I sent it to www.rainvac.com.... They are in Hagerstown MD. Been dealing with them for many years. They are 100% only rainbow. If you can't find it there for your rainbow, its not made and their prices are unbeatable.

Used it today and I really couldn't tell any difference in the amount of suction with the 7 year old filter vs. a new one but without a meter there is really no way to tell.

I JUST helped a vacuum shop take mine apart and thoroughly clean it. It was educational as I had no experience servicing my Rainbows....did the E2 Black and my D4 SE, Both were in great shape and he was stunned at how clean they were inside. :-). I do the basics religiously....never store the Main unit on the water basin (wet), clean the separator every other or every time I use it, clean out the water basin after each use, and change the HEpa filter every few years.

Really, what would you say you should be looking at price wise to have it cleaned
