So it’s been awhile since I’ve been on here but I missed it here and wanted to get back into collecting like I used to, but I had to ask to get some opinions, I’ve got a E2 rainbow and growing up I always loved it and that’s why I continue use it as my daily driver, but I see the new SRX and like a kid in a candy shop I immediately wanted it. What I’d like to know is how does the E2, while be it a older model, compare to the new SRX?? Like I imagine it cleans better just due to the fact it’s a whole new model. Should I bite the bullet and buy a new one or wait till it makes it’s way down in price a bit before I get my new toy?

I have to wonder if you would gain better performance by getting a non-Rainbow power nozzle with your current Rainbow? |

The SRX models have a serious recall due to fire hazard from the circuit board. There is a fix from the factory (I imagine the next model with have a completely different cooling system for the board.
One of the 'performance increases' really isn't an increase at all. The "black" series has two suction fans. Making really great airflow. The new SRX has one fan, with tall middle blades. At the end of the hose, you don't feel as much suction as the "black" model. The mud that inevitable comes with using rainbows will lodge in this single fan, creating vibration and noise like on the first of the two speed models with their shallow fan (this was changed after one year). I wouldn't recommend buying the SRX right now. Wait a year or so for all the problems to be solved. |
