I’m referring to the current model. I have no knowledge of the future model. |

Rexair makes only one model at a time. Every single one of the machines in their current main warehouse must be sold before a single new one will be released. That’s just business. There might be thousands of the current one that have to be sold first. Or, for all we know, they might only have two or three left of the current style. I was at the rainbow world conference when they debuted the E-series. We had to sell all of the D4 performance edition models before the salesman could get their hands on the new model.

Well hopefully they don’t have many E2 Black machines left in there warehouse and that they’ve already started production of the new model. |

It’s too bad that they don’t unload the old models at Costco. rexair would never agree to more reasonable prices or returns. |

I'm guessing the old thread was deleted due to a complaint from Rexair, since the information about the SRX is not yet public and it being posted on a public forum they probably threatened to sue the webmaster for it. Most likely because it may effect the sales of the Current E2 black, if people know a new model is just around the corner. But again just speculation.

I google image searched and I found the picture that must have been linked to the thread that was deleted. Anyway, from what I can see, it looks like the E3 Black only silver in color. That hose looks different. Can you imagine buying a new Black rainbow, then the next day they came out with a new model? I'd be MAD LOL

No that isn't the reason at all. A few members had posted things in it that they regretted posting and asked me to delete that thread. If I was contacted by Rexair and they asked me to delete it I certainly would have out of respect for the company's private information, however this wasn't the case. That actually happened once on automaticwasher by Speed Queen and once they contacted me I immediately deleted the thread as it had pictures of a charts that were confidential that someone had got from an employee at SQ. There wasn't a threat of a law suit by SQ, they simply asked out of respect of their privacy that I remove that information. I was happy to oblige. I felt really torn as to what to do about that previous thread, and I felt bad about having to delete it for reasons that shouldn't have happened in the first place. So feel free to re-create it here, I've already asked those involved that if they aren't comfortable with the thread to not post in it. |

Hi Devin, I still don't think it's wise to be re-posting pictures that you didn't take when it's clear that the picture was probably taken without permission by the manufacturer, so to prevent this thread from having to be deleted as well I made the decision to delete the picture. If you took the picture yourself that would be a completely different situation.
Hope you guys understand. |

When they launched this new machine did they discuss just the machine and everything that it does, or did they also discuss the optional tools for it too? |

car manufacturers don't desire that spy photographers take pictures of the new upcoming cars in developmental stage....yet people do it b/c the buying public WANT to know...a glimpse. Those big car companies don't/can't SUE someone..aka news shows or print magazines for posting photos they have of the 'mystery' car. So, why do we think a vacuum maker has different wants/legal standing? Anyone should be able to post info/photos of anything that's for sale or will be for sale or in development. perplexing......to realistically think otherwise....no?

LOL, maybe it's a different animal with something sold door to door? LOL Not that that makes a difference. Anyway, I was thinking about when I was reading about the many new features of the new rainbow and it kind of surprised me that one of the features was NOT a self-cleaning separator. Not that I mind cleaning it but it would be kind of cool not to have to do that. Of course, I'm just basing that off the pic I saw of the new features and there were a LOT of new features. Wouldn't that be like a huge selling point especially since Hyla has had one forever.....I've never seen a video of someone taking a Hyla apart to see if they really can get dirty inside so I don't know.

After digging I was able to find the facebook video. The crowd was going NUTS. It's so hard to tell but it looks redesigned COMPLETELY....I mean EVERYTHING! Again, hard to tell but I'm not sure I'm loving the graphics and the PN looks weird (again, hard to make a judgment yet) The water bath looked like it was going crazy with turbulence. The machine didn't look quite as large. The basin looked larger and almost a blue tint to it. The rainbow looks like it could lean back on the dolly without having to take the dolly off to remove the basin. The hose handle looked larger.

so looking through the facebook search thing, it looks like the new SRX is available in the Asian markets. Why do we have to wait till the end of the year, if they already start selling it. I love the black and blue color combo with the new model. |

they sold out of the black models in Asia faster than the USA?
Anyway, I was wondering......when does Rexair cease making parts for any of their past model Rainbows? I'm not 100% sure, but I think someone who owns an SE can still get "genuine" parts... I guess my question is at what point does Rexair completely stop making parts for a past model? Kind of off topic, sorry. Just a random though I had. |

I hope you guys who are chomping at the bit over this have been saving your pennies. Actually, saving your dollars is more like it. 3300 of them. Could be more depending upon where you live. The independent distributors are allowed to set their own pricing. I plan on waiting two years. They will be at the pawnshop for 200 bucks. Just like those Avalir 2’s. I bought an avalir 1 from Facebook marketplace for $85. The people hated it.

My e2 black that I bought in 2012 was a 1 year old bank repossession that I sniped on eBay for $600. Luckily, it had been well cared for and everything was with it including the RainJet and AquaMate. Some of those bank repos are not too pretty! |

Since I bought my gold 2 speed in 2006....I was drooling over the black model, but even though I've used my Gold 2 speed a lot over the years, it still shines like new and there is no way I'm getting rid of it for a new model.......still, the new ones I can dream about. Rainbows are definitely my most favorite vacuum of all time.

In 2011 the price for my e2 black was 2595. After trade in of my e2 gold the final price was 1795 and I got the aquamate rainjet and rainbow mate free. I guess in a more populated area your going to pay more. |

Just so you know how they do it:
The AquaMate and RainbowMate are designed to be given away in exchange for leads. Most salespeople have no idea how to sell one or how much they sell for, as they normally give them away. Be prepared to pay $100 for a RainbowMate and about $200 for the AquaMate if you buy them. Be prepared for at least a $100 price on the Rainjet attachment. Be prepared to spend at least $150 on the extra long hose. Most distributors sell the 4 quart pan for about $80. Most US distributors do not carry the Rexafoamer as the sprayer is an optional attachment virtually no one buys. They would normally not carry it in stock. Think about how much you want to put down. At least $500 would be normal for the 'Full Package" (yes, you can finance the optional parts). Your interest rate and length of financing time depend a lot upon your credit report. People with "not great" credit pay between 21 to 27 percent interest. The better your credit, the less the interest rate and the longer of a time you can finance the total for. With tax and all the optional parts you want, expect to spend a little more than $4000 for the new SRX model (these prices are based upon a guess based upon the selling price of the black model as of August, 2019). If you financed at $50 to $70 per month, expect the total of payments with interest and down payment to be $5000. Personally, I'm going to wait a year and pick one up that was a repo or at the pawn shop for MUCH less than a grand. Wait 2 years, and you'll be able to get one from Facebook Marketplace for $500 or so. Of course, you'll have to buy your optional pieces brand new, since almost no one get any of them. Remember you have to give the names of your friends to the salesman to qualify to get one of them free. |

The SRX looks fantastic. I'm stoked Rexair made so many improvements to the new machine. The new power nozzle looks great (that looks like a lifetime belt on there!), and the way the bin slides out looks much easier. The cord looks longer too. Can't wait to get my hands on one someday.
On a marketing note, the music in the second 'features' part of that video is surprisingly catchy for a vacuum ad! |

Well there's the confirmation that the belt path is in the center. I just don't like that, I hate having that dead spot in the cleaning path, especially with bypass designs. Why would they move away from it with the E2 black's later revision and then move back to it again? I have to wonder if there would be another revision to it later on? Though the side brushes are no longer present so probably not.

I loved it until I saw the (again) lack of a cord winder. I could have sworn that the photo of the "features list" said pull-release cord storage. I thought for sure they would finally add that. They didn't. Not paying that much for a vacuum that lacks such a simple addition. :-( |

I’m kind of curious to how strong the magnetic thing is on the hose. Like what I mean is when you pull the rainbow with the hose you would think the hose would come off since the machine. If that make any sense. |

that the dolly is removable and that's just a feature for easy changing/putting on the basin. Imagine if it's not removable how much of a pain it would be to clean the separator or the underside. Surely it's removable. I can't imagine it's fixed like that. OR, if it is fixed like that, perhaps it's easy turn upside down with no issues for cleaning. I've dealt with a rainbow belt in the center for a long time.My biggest wonder is the 30% more airflow. That's A LOT! I wonder what they are doing to achieve this since water filtration vacuums have a limit and I thought they reached that limit with the 2 speeds

They could gain airflow by switching to a crushproof hose but it doesn't look like they did from watching the video. So many missed opportunities with this "upgrade". |

that water filtration vacuums have a limit otherwise water gets sucked to the motor. I'm no engineer, so I don't know if that's true. They definitely have improved airflow over the years with various models, but it's stayed pretty much the same with the 2-speed brushless motors.....so that's just what I assumed.

Rivstg1 The interior of a crushproof hose is smoother the inside of a wire-reinforced house. Less resistance = better airflow. This is a good example. |

@mark40511. There hasn’t been much improvement on airflow for Rainbows since 1980, sadly....even some later ones were worse than previous ones ...ie the SE PE model had worse airflow than the earlie SE model . According to Blackhearts’s and Vaclab’s airflow testing ....very little cfm improvement ...like 4-10 cfm. :-(. I bet the water lift is similar or no improvement over the same period . I really hope he hoped for airflow improvement comes from a improved power-nozzle design if it’s true that they are at the limit for power on a water based machine . Heres to hoping for the best!!

From what we've seen the motor appears to be a single stage. the more stages a motor has the more suction it will generally have. Though with each additional stage you lose some flow, there are stationary stages between them which makes the airpath more complex. It could also be that the fan is deeper which would would most likely require more torque to move.

5k is a lot for a rainbow cleaning system. If you look at the fb search engine and search “rainbow SRX” you’ll see a lot of things about it due to the fact that the Asian market got it first. |

The big disadvantage to the single size basin is if you have a lot of area to vacuum you might be stuck changing the water more, but if it’s easier to change the basin then it might even that out. |

"PN sealing to carpet? Isn't that a BAD thing?
I thought by sealing it would cut off the airflow - similar to you putting your hand over the wand suction? Same with the hard floor brush - they cut out grooves in the brush so get airflow...Or am I wrong? LOL I dunno. " If it seals to the carpet, it will (presumably) pull air through the carpet better, though might be harder to push. If this model does that, it might mean they are going for a deeper clean, assuming the rest of the nozzle has few air leaks. I sold the most recent model for a short time (so naturally, I want to get one myself), but I am excited to see how good (or bad) the new SRX is. |

Everyone dissing on it still has to love a vacuum is best bagless vacuum built in America. Kirby and rainbow are IMO are the 2 best vacuums in the world.
The rainbow color scheme I love. I love my silver rainbow. I love my sentria too. It's good to see vacuums made in the US are very well built machine. I believe they said a bigger water basin it could be wider than the other version and carry more water. You got to think a big water basin overfilled could ruin electrical nozzle power supply and toast the vacuum. If you build the vacuum they build things for a reason. I'm not going to say you have to like it. You got to admit nice to see US keeping jobs here. Les |

Give me a headache. Maybe I'm just in a mood, but some of the remarks are so off the wall, it's like word salad sometimes. Jeez. Sorry. Couldn't help it. |

Why is it that higher tax German companies can produce premium vacuums for 1/3 the price of a Rainbow? I’m all for made in USA, but I don’t support price gouging. Rainbows may be quality products, but $3300 for a vacuum is highway robbery. DTD pricing is the pits. |

This leads me to also wonder if it’s cheeped to get a SRX system through the distributor, but from a service center/ distributor office. That way they’re not in our homes, thus not being able to sell for DTD price tag, |

Does the Rainbow offer more than one brush roll option to accommodate users of super plush carpeting? Since the height is not adjustable, does it even work on these modern carpets? |

The rainbow website still doesn’t mention the amazing new srx. Am a little surprised that they haven’t unloaded the old models yet. |

I can’t imagine too many people buying a vacuum for more than $3000. There are too many very good options for far less money. |

I'm always grateful for people who pay full price for a brand new Rainbow.
I'm patient enough to wait two years (or less) for it to become available second hand. The pawn shop had an Avalir 2 for less than $100 just a month ago. I bought a 3 year old Rainbow "black" for $125 from Facebook Marketplace. The seller hated it and wanted it gone. While I'm just as big a fan of the 'brand new' stuff - I'd rather keep the majority of the 'new' price in my wallet. That being said, a good friend is a Rainbow distributor (he's also a vacuum collector). He's bringing the new SRX model to our vacuum collector's Thanksgiving party to demo for the whole group. I know at least two of my friends who will be there will buy one. |

juju - I hope you are able to realize your dream of owning a Rainbow Srx. Given that you believe in them so much, perhaps you should sell them on the side to EARN your Rainbow |

I manage to work a full-time job, care for my grandfather, and still run demos each week all while earning an extra 25-30k per year part time. Trust me I know, I need a steady paycheck as most people do having a morgage, car payment, etc. Most distributors if not all pay you non taxed and you file a 1099 form on your taxes at the end of the year which is basically like if you worked for yourself. I have done Rainbow part time on and off for about 11 years. When you do the equity program you still make commission off your sales, earn extra incentives, etc. Many of the people that work at our office are married couples who originally got into Rainbow just to earn the Rainbow for free but kept doing it to earn extra money. The opportunity is there, it just may not be for everyone.

I guess I’m used to them because it’s all my family had as a child. I use my Rainbow several times per week and it doesn’t bother me to empty it. I was taught at a young age how to care for it cause my grandma sold them and put us to work cleaning from time to time. I also used to ride with my grandma on demos. To each their own. I still use lots of different vacuums including a Miele Aquarius. I use a Dyson V7 and Roomba for Daily cleaning.

Of course you do. Rainbow has exceptional marketing. Buy it or the giant dust mites will eat you alive. Run it 24 hours a day or your glass of water will be mud. It will pay for itself because you won’t have to buy bags or filters. It’s the only vacuum that works. |
