Rainbow Vacuum vs Dyson Vacuum - Who Will Win? 

I use the rainbow that my parents bought in the 70's and it still works perfectly! My neighbor has a Dyson who came over with it and we vacuumed my rug. I was impressed! Went over it again with the rainbow right afterwards and it was amazing on how much more dirt was picked up that the Dyson missed. A week later we did the reverse, using the rainbow first. Going over it with the dyson showed no dirt. A few years later her Dyson went belly up and my rainbow is still trucking along and it is fifty years old!

Mom had one in the 90s and we loved it... had someone come show us the SRX and they wanted $3,000 and I wasn't going to spend that much. I went to Facebook market place and they go for around $1,000. I asked everyone if they would take $400. Had 1 person that said $500 and I snagged it up! All I've done is replace the hepa filter. Runs wonderfully!!!!

We have a 50 year old model that still works! We inherited, my husband just bought me this new model, now I’ll have an amazing vacuum til I die! 😋

I have my Rainbow since 1996! It still runs because the filter is water. When you use bags, all the dirt does is get pulverized into smaller pieces and that's what you are breathing in - finer dust particles. We used to have the expensive Kirby's and Electrolux's had to buy the replacement filters and the thing stunk, you could tell someone vacuumed. With the water filter, you suck in all flea eggs, roaches, spiders - they are DEAD IN THE WATER! with the bag filters, you gotta tape them down so the bugs won't crawl out and bite you in the butt! The spiders, bugs, fleas are all dead in the water! No vacuum is perfect, but I've had my Rainbow for years and because of the water filter, it has never died on me. The Kirby and Electrolux died and had to get new ones. You never have to replace Rainbows.

I have the Rainbow E2 since 2002 and it works today like it did the first day. I leave it in the corner of the lounge air purifying all day. It rehumidifies the dry air from the heating. Just picks up everything. Got a second one online for £70 with all attachments a few years back. Simply cannot beat a Rainbow!!!

I had one from the 1940s, still worked. Had a steel tank. They also made larger tanks for the newer ones. They’re the best. I have an E series now. The best!

RAINBOW he is absolutely the BEST

The key difference in carpet cleaning is the Dyson canister has an air-driven turbo brush in which a small fan spins the brush whereas the Rainbow has a dedicated electric motor that turns the brushroll. Turbo brushes have less agitation power. Electric powerheads cost more because of the additional motor and wiring required to power it but they can use bigger brushrolls and make stronger carpet agitation. That's why the Dyson canister only cleans the top of the carpet and the Rainbow deep cleans the carpet.

Seeing that rainbow bowl really makes me wanna eat some oatmeal.

This machine is amazing. Look into all their accessories. ❤

I lived in the sw for years and i have a rainbow from the 80s and it still works great. If you live in a dusty area, there is nothing better.

I had one as a kid. Those things are great and built like a tank.

I've owned both. An older 90s Rainbow and a Dyson. That Rainbow will run circles around that Dyson. I can vouch for that.

Just got mine im thabking God for providing us with the means to afford. 🙏

Its amazing got one myself life changing

The Rainbow wavering in pitch like that with the gurgling means it was overloaded with something that foams in the water and there are a couple of reasons for that. One could be whatever was used to shampoo that carpet used a cleaning solution that foams, say from a Rug Doctor or an agent from dry "suds" or encapsulation cleaning like a Kirby. The other being that the Dyson really wasn't cleaning your carpet (no surprise there since Dysons automatically void carpet warranties due to either poor performance of deep cleaning or they shred carpet fibres prematurely wrecking the carpet) and the Rainbow was collecting all of that filth left over from years of cleaning. To minimize this from happening, the Rainbow should be emptied every 15-30 minutes of vacuuming. You just keep an eye on the water and when it is brown, it should be changed and the water in your machine needed changing as not only because of the sound but the water also wasn't flowing the way it should have.

Wow the rainbow really gets right in there I think you need to do it probably a couple more times that rug

I'd be interested to know how many times in a row you'd need to vacuum with the rainbow to end up with clear water.

For those that don't want to pay that much, you can find old ones online or even at the curb! My dad gave me his 80's one, and works like a beast! Is the only thing to suck up spiders and webs! Never ever reassemble to put away. The canister must be completely dry! Or it will rust mower and barrings.

Thank you very useful this video came on time before I buy a new vacuum

I have one that is 10 years old and I love love love my machine!!!

Yes Rainbow Vacuum is the winner winner in this video. 👏 Rainbow is the true home cleaning system for everyone who owns one. Rainbow is the true and it's the best for carpet and dust environment.

The older rainbow such as the D3C or the D4C has much better power head, more suction and more air flow. The older power heads even have a beater bar that shakes the deep embedded dirt to the top.

we had the rainbow demonstration done, o it was a great show, then he whipped out the price and thats all i remember, woke up in the hospital

I miss having a rainbow! Im planning on getting one Im just unsure if i want the newer model or an older one since i know the old ones are incredible.

Wow! Alwatys wanted a Dyson, but sadly, to rich for my bank account....however, after seeing this, I have definitely changed my mind! I wish that I could afford a rainbow..especially for the air purification abilities..That would be very beneficial for me in regards to my lung cancer...however, the rainbow is still priced waaaaay out of my range also. Thanks for sharing this info Rita! 😊 Oh, and btw....who is that stunning beauty behind you on the chair!!?😻🥰

Im selling mine in vancouver only because in moving. Best investment and will buy one again in the near future.

When I first moved away from home, Mom gave me hers. I loved it! Unfortunately when I was moving apartments someone stole it. I still miss it and can't afford one now. 😞

RAINBOW The Best Abso!ute Hi-End!.

I grew up with a rainbow vacuum! I loved the rainbow except when I had to dump it. Oh the smell of the water!🤢 don’t leave the water in the rainbow vacuum. We had 2 go bad because of this while growing up. I don’t know if you can do it now but my mom used to add essential oils to the water and run it when we were sick or she just wanted the house to smell good My son had very bad allergies because of this we had carpets removed from the home. If I had to live in a home with carpets I would definitely have a rainbow!

I think she said the Rainbow does not have a filter. It does have a hepa filter which needs to be changed out periodically. I called my Rainbow distributor to ask about this and she said if we have pets, then change the filter about once a year or so. We have no pets and do not smoke so she said we won’t need a new filter for a long time. We have the same model as the one in the video which is the SRX and we’ve had it for about 3 years now and the filter is still good.

How does the rainbow do on tile or hardwood or other types of floors ?

Have you done the challenge in reverse? Rainbow then Dyson?

I used to have a rainbow vacuum. How much does this cost? I am in Canada.. If it is not too much, I would like purchase one if it is not too much

OMG

People love the claim that the whole vacuuming with one machine and then going over with another is an old salesman trick. I don't agree. Every vacuum will always leave some little amount of something behind unless you go over and over the same spot forever. But a great vacuum will always get the most on the first try as apposed to a crappy vacuum anytime. Rainbow's are just better machines than Dyson's. Especially with the vacuum head! Rainbow vacs have much better agitation than Dyson. Dyson doesn't have great agitation for anything above low pile carpets. Even those they aren't great for. They are best for quick clean ups and suction. Suction is the only thing they excel with but with attachments that fall short the suction is rather wasted. Rainbows are great cleaners and the water basin is a quick clean up unlike the bagless design of the Dyson. Yeah you can empty them quick enough...till you have to clean out the cyclones and that is a disgusting long process that anyone not tech savvy or comfortable with taking them apart isn't not going to do. And the battery powered Dyson's... forget even trying to take them apart as the cyclone is built into top alone with all the electronics but if you don't do it your Dyson will have a perpetual odor even with clean filters. Rainbows just dump the basin and rinse it out and make sure the little separator is clean here and there and you're good. All easy to do for anyone.

Ok so you vacuum it up and it goes to the water? So tha would be the same if the dyson was hooked up to the water???? Im confused…? So the only difference is the Purifier which can be brought separately as the rainmaker

I noticed that when you was done with rainbow it sound like it had to much water in it and that not normal I would call rainbow it should shut off

Sorry and I hope this doesn’t offend you but the Dyson looks like a nasty cheap toy plastic thing next to the other machine! The other just screams good quality!

Yes, in here at the end of the video you said exactly that I too have a lot of kids and if they spill something dumb something puke anything you can just grab that thing it’s already out in the living room and just immediately clean up the mess wet dry and don’t have to go after towels or paper towels. This thing gets the job done right then and there immediately and effectively.

I’m a rainbow dealer. It’s a fun gig

The rainbow never clogs it uses air flow. Dyson talks about never losing suction. When was the last time you cleaned your house with a toilet plunger ? The Rainbow will never lose air flow because it uses water- wet dust can't fly.

I dont think it's really a fair comparison because you compared an old machine to a newer looking one. Also you cleaned with the Dyson first and then the other one. Maybe make another video with just the rambow vac so we can see how it does with big stuff. Also can you show the water without cutting the video so we know it wasnt tapered with?

RAINBOW ES EL MEJOR EQUIPO DEL MUNDO, NO HAY OTRO EQUIPO K LO IGUALE, y MUCHO MENOS K LO SUPERE, HACE MUCHOS AÑOS LO TENGO Y NUNCA ME HE ARREPENTIDO, SI ALGUIEN NECESITA UN RAINBOW ME PUEDE ESCRIBIR ✍️

older rainbows are better then srx i had srx its so bad after few months

IF you have animals, save yourself and buy a Rainbow! I grew up with a rainbow. After college I couldn’t afford one but saved my money up for a Dyson. Even with careful maintenance, it always smelled like dog when I turned it on. I killed two of them within 5 years. I then got smart and found a Rainbow dealer, bought a used one for less than 300. I used that Rainbow for over 13 years and finally purchased a brand new one a few years back. He even gave me 300 for my old one!!! I have 6 dogs and 3 cats. I NEVER have had it smell like dogs. It always smells clean and fresh. I have it cleaned yearly by the local dealer. That Rainbow is one of THE best cleaning systems out there. PLUS, the new model has a great mopping system for it!

Rainbow is superior to all vacuums.

I suggest that anyone who is looking for a new quality vacuum to check out Miele and Sebo before considering a Rainbow.

Her strokes when vacuuming with the rainbow are too fast. The slower the stroke (pause😶) the more effective the rainbow can clean.

Why don't you go over it again with the Dyson after using the rainbow I bet you pick up more dirt again.

😂😂 You compared the worst with the best! Dyson is the worst vacuum by far. Rainbow is the best. Anyone with a dyson has no idea how much dust it pumps back out. Awful!! Yay Rainbow!!

Why do you wear shoes inside the house? Shoes are for outside, you’re bringing in dirt and filth into your home.

The Dyson vacuumed is not the bast the rainbow vacuumed is the best

So brandnew clean rainbow vs abused and disgusting Dyson

Just bought a rainbow 🌈 and so far all i got to say is THAT IT IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

And i have to say i thought my cheep walmart portable vac was not picking up but after seeing how my this dyson missed it is absolutely appalling at how my Walmart vacuum cleaned even more than this dyson did
