When it comes to the subject of reliable vacuum systems, there is one in particular that stands head and shoulders above the rest. The Rexair Rainbow is simply the best system money can buy. It is unmatched in performance, reliability and efficiency.

The Rainbow eliminates the flaw that is inherent of the traditional bag or filter type operation system. Bags and filters have a dual problem. When you have a clean filter, the pores in the filter which allow air flow are also exhausting dust particles laden with bacteria. This is not only an efficiency issue, but it is a health issue. The other problem with traditional filters is the fact that as the containment begins to fill, the pores which allow airflow plug up, and cleaning power becomes compromised. A bag or filter system is either plugging up or blowing dust, and most of the time both.

The Rexair Rainbow uses water for filtration. A basin is filled with water. Since wet dust can't fly, the dust particles are filtered down to under two microns. You simply dump out the water and rinse out the basin. No breathing in the nasty smelly filth when vacuuming or when you are disposing of the waste. You never store a partially filled vacuum in the closet where the germs inside can incubate and breed until the next use like with a conventional vacuum.

There are no pores in the water to plug up, so as long as your water remains fluid youwill have a continuous air speed of 72 cubic feet per minute with no reduction in airflow. If it were possible to suck a golfball through a garden hose, the Rainbow would do it. You get fresh clean water washed air that smells like a rain shower every time you clean. You don't have to dust after you vacuum. You are dusting while you vacuum.

The dreaded dust mites that make their homes inside of Kirby, Electrolux, Hoover and the like are no match for the juccuzzi of death the Rainbow has in store for them. The power of a Rainbow will go hose to hose with a Kirby and suck the bag flat when both machines dual.

Never buy another vacuum cleaner bag. Water is your filter. With maximum cleaning efficiency, get all of the vacuumable dirt, so that your carpet pad won't turn into a mudcake when you shampoo.

Wet pick up? Hello, it goes into the water basin. Try that with a traditional vacuum. Spot cleaning? Put a little soap on the surface, scrub, then suck it up. Defrosting the refrigerator? Suck it into the basin. Plugged sink? Suck out the clog. Like fragrance? Add some to the water.

There is no better system for efficiency and portability than a Rainbow. If you have a central vac that exhausts to the outside, you still have to empty it and be exposed to its' nastiness. It still plugs up and loses efficiency. Central vacs are a step above bag and filter type portable systems, but they still lack the versatility of the Rainbow. It's simply the best.
