it's a floor polisher that's why. vacuum collectors really dont have high demand for floor polishers, buffers, extractrors, floor a matics, scrubbers, etc. ive even pointed out extremely rare floor a matics on fb marketplace for cheapo and no one cares.
that rainbow by itself will likely sell. id suggest enjoying the polisher yourself. you wont likely find a buyer for something so specific. |

I was selling new Rainbows in 1979, and the polisher/shampooer was offered to folks who would "buy it tonight". Very few did, because the power nozzle was also offered the same way. Everyone took the power nozzle. The polisher/shampooer (which you have) was launched later than than just the polisher making it ever more rare.
Using the suds maker on the Rainbow sprayer along with Rainbow shampoo concentrate, you spray the dry foam suds over a section of carpet. Using the Poli-Champ with the black brush, go over the foam to work it in (like a Kirby except better). Warm, clean air blown onto the rug through the hose and crevice tool attached to the Rainbow's exhaust port quickly dries the rug. The Poli-Champ was based off the Fairfax floor polisher which predated the Rainbow polisher by several years. I know of only myself and one other collector who has a new Poli-Champ with both brush sets. Good luck with the sale. In my opinion, your asking price is about right for the combination of the machine, tools, and Poli-Champ, |
