Hey, guys! It’s been too long since I have posted in here. And, I thought I would show off my new SRX! Overall, it’s an impressive machine, especially the durability of the power nozzle. We all know Rexair has deep pockets when it comes to R&D, and the SRX is a wonderful step in their product evolution. I have owned 3 brand new rainbows (now including the SRX and each unit I have purchased not only has superb cleaning quality, but delivers a superior cleaning experience).
To me, watching a demo and purchasing a new Rainbow is exactly like the thrill of unboxing a new Apple product. The packaging and presentation of the product “is” am experience in and of itself. It’s why I also keep the boxes and the packaging, which I still have from my first e2 Gold and my e2Black purchases. I wasn’t planning on purchasing the SRX so soon, but I was out in New York several weeks ago and was able to catch up to Mike and he demo’d the SRX for me. Thank you, Mike for your experience and knowledge on Rainbow’s as well as the excellent customer service. I have always taken great comfort in the superior company Rexair is, the evolution of the Rainbow product, but also the customer support is top-notch! If you are a Rainbow enthusiast and have Rainbow questions, need advice, or you’re headed to New York. Stop in and see Mike! He knows Rainbow’s!

With the brushless motor extra capabilities and everything it provides pulling similar to e2 machines is impressive.
I'd take it over a kirby,airstorm and pretty much every other vacuum on the market. Let's be honest no corded vacuum will touch a central vac except maybe nss pig. If you trade in are we talking $300 or ,$700 . I'm not even asking price range. I'd want everything with it and if demoed it wouldn't leave the house. My wife loves her rainbow. Maybe after I get my newly used car in the next month I'll look into it rainbow. |

This SRX thread.
www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi... Historical Canister Measurements CANISTER ONLY D3 = 92 CFM / 60" D4C SE = 87 CFM / 60" E2 One Speed = 107 CFM / 58" E2 Two Speed Gold = 97 CFM / 84" E2 Two Speed Platinum = 97 CFM / 84" E2 Two Speed Black = 97 CFM / 84" Other People's Tests SRX = 101 CFM / 58" So the highest canister suction is the previous generation E2 2-Speed series @ 84" and the highest canister CFM is the E2 One Speed @ 107 CFM. Other testers had issues measuring the SRX CFM and it may indeed be nearer to 107, matching the old E2 One Speed. The new SRX literally has ZERO nozzle suction and very poor airflow due to a leaky PN design. I just re-tested a fully refurbished 1993 D4C SE and both the airflow and suction at the nozzle beat the new SRX. Disappointing. Bill |

but there is a reason we don't go back on certain threads... I do believe it is to prevent anymore arguing. |

I've seen a couple of videos of users that I trust. To test airflow of the new SRX PN, the turned the machine on HIGH speed, brush roll OFF, went over colored sand on a hard floor and the SRX PN moved no sand. They grabbed a couple of other PN's from other vacuums (neither was designed for hard floor cleaning) and ran it over the sand and it picked the sand straight up. Obvious the SRX is able to pick up dirt on carpet using the PN, because I've seen videos of people using it and the basin was gross as you would expect after vacuuming dirty carpet....so it IS doing something. It's just weird why it would have such LOW airflow at the PN head. I guess the agitation is doing most of the work.
I've done this very thing with my gold 2 speed PN2 and it does pick up sand on a hard floor with no problem, though I never use the PN on hard floors. So my Gold 2 speed's PN can pick up sand from a hard floor but the SRX PN's can't? I love rainbow vacuums. I would never give mine up...My favorite models are the Gold/Silver/Black |
