I too have the same questions about the inside works. Unfortunately i havent seen any other info or pics other than the one I posted. If it is totally different on the inside i wonder if rexair will discontinue parts for the older style? | ||

Looks identical to the e2 blacks nozzle but with light blue accents and no sticker on the top of the hood | ||

Unfortunately I cannot remember where these originated from another collector sent them to me.
I'm glad to see they've return to the previous design while I did like the new brushroll design and the agitation it produced it was just unfortunately a poor performer. The pn12 nozzle used on the E2 black was far better sealed and more efficient than the PN-2 nozzles before it that used the thin air channel it made no sense for them to return to that form with the SRX. To me this change shows that Rexair does listen to feedback rather than pushing back and saying there's nothing wrong with the product. | ||

I won’t answer a bunch of questions on the SRX nozzle so I’ll leave you with this…
The nozzle that orig came with the SRX had a lot of issues. I have had to warranty a bunch of brush rolls due to the design and the hair getting into the bearings which caused housing issues due to melting. The handle release was a joke and therefore was changed back to stepping on the head that everyone was used to who owned a rainbow. The air vent was useless too, the machine is underpowered for what it is and adding a vent to the nozzle only made it worse. And the light bars. We’ve had to warranty a lot of the light bars on the new SRX power head. Honestly I’m glad they went back to the E2 design. It was a far better nozzle with better performance and less issues. Maybe they will come out with something else but in the meantime this is a fantastic solution. | ||

I agree with luxlife. If they want to stay in business, they got to keep the customers satisfied. I also agree with the others about going back to the previous nozzle, the original SRX nozzle was honestly a disappointment when I tried it out. The E2 Black in my humble opinion was the last good Rainbow and I wasn't impressed when I tried out the SRX, one of the reasons was because of the power nozzle. And Rexair didn't update the power nozzle not once or twice, they also came out with a different power nozzle during the production run of the D4C (my personal favorite Rainbow).

Well.. My Gold 2 speed (which has the old E series PN and people HATE that one) even that PN is better than than the SRX one... I mean when you put crumbs or sand on a hard floor (even if the PN isn't designed for hard floors) the airflow from the PN head should be enough to pick up sand, crumbs, etc...but the SRX one couldn't... My rainbow PN could. and it's not designed for hard floors either.. It just displays the airflow at the PN head which, if it can't even do that, isn't good. Glad they have updated it...Aside from that the SRX seems OK... I still love my rainbow..I'll go through phases where I'll use it for six months or so...then take time off from it... then start using it again.
