What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE? |

Here's what I think:
instead of improving the part of the vacuum that actually cleans (like the motor, separator, PN) They stuck with cosmetics and features. They lowered the power, made a very crappy PN (which thank goodness they've improved, so I hear) I hope that their next model is better...Not that I'm ever going to buy another rainbow because my gold 2006 2 speed I got brand new is still perfect and shines like new. I can say this: If someone offered me a brand new unopened SRX fully loaded with everything for FREE if only I would give them my gold 2 speed.... I would say no. | ||

I didn't know they also updated the separator??? WTH is that about?
I think the separator on my gold 2 speed is great. I remember back when I had my shark that I would run through the house daily - about ever 4 days I would clean it, sucking the filters and bin clean with my rainbow...but I took note when cleaning the separator after that amount of dirt going into the rainbow that there was no dirt on the cleaning toothbrush...I think any rainbow owner should fill their basin about 1/2 inch MORE than recommended (above the line).. I think that little extra water makes a huge difference. I still can't believe they made the SRX basin smaller...When designing this new rainbow I can't believe they totally screwed up the PN. I would love the SRX if they changed 3 things. At least the same power motor as the 2 speed E series, same size basin or larger, and a GREAT well designed PN. I'm in the minority on this but I like having 2 hoses instead of one with the main reason being the handle..when doing above floor cleaning and using the crevice, dusting brush, floor brush, upholstery brush...when those attachments are used on a curved wand instead of the electric hose it feels so much easier using them vs having them attached to the electric hose with that big honking handle. | ||

This is my opinion the dude that started this thread has something against Rainbow. This is such a unnecessary thread lol why does everyone find it necessary to bash the latest Rainbow ? | ||

With all these updates to the SRX, they mines well release a new model at this point and use those as strong key factors for why its better than the SRX. | ||

speaking of new motor. Can current srx owners get this new updated motor instead of having to get a whole new unit? The same can be said for the "new" separator | ||

Yep it would be interesting if that were true...new motor, new PN..Perhaps they are correcting things people have been complaining about?...Plz come back here and post if you get an answer :)
I didn't realize the first E series was plagued with problems... I did learn that my gold 2 speed had control board issues and they made a much better board for them.. but I went years without knowing that there were even any known issues until my board died in 2018 I think...when it got replaced the rainbow tech said I should never have any problems because the control board was made so much better than the original...He said he was surprised my board lasted that many years before it went out... somehow I highly doubt any new changes they make that aren't recalls won't be just given to customers who purchased past SRX's | ||

As I stated before, the nozzle is identical to black model with spinning brushes except it has a new top cover design | ||
