This is the 1961 Rexair "Rainbow" model. They made them only for a very short period of time. They were in the process of bringing out the Chrome Dome model D Rainbow.

I have had the machine for decades, but never had the correct sprayer. Thank you and big hugs to my friend Hans Craig for the correct sprayer. My machine is now complete. This is the only one I've ever seen 'in the wild'.

Swivels on plastic (the dolly was optional - I have it). Dewdrops of cleanliness. Never forget - wet dust cannot fly!

All set up to spray the disinfectant - kills whatever the salesman tells you it kills.

dysonman1, thank U 4 bringing me memories about the rare Rainbow
Several yrs ago (around mid/late 80s) a family friend of mine had one exactly like yours Every time my family went to see them I wanted to 'play around' with the Rainbow, but the elderly lady said 'hands off!' they didn't want it to be broken It seemed like back in the '80s many folks had interesting vacs; I wonder how many folks today have anything that interesting? I've pretty much outgrown the habit of 'snooping' other people's closets (my parents always got on me for this when I was younger) to see what vac they had | ||

Except for the looks, how is it different from the D2 ? | ||

dysonman, Thanks for the information ! Do you actually use yours to clean your home, or do you keep it as a collector's item ? | ||
