You need to check out a Rainbow Vacuum System. The ultimate cleaning machine. It uses water to "wash" the carpets but doesn't get anything wet. The Rainbow doesn't use water to wash the carpets. It uses water as a filter instead of using a bag. It also costs $1500+. Don't buy the Rainbow vacuum! It is a complete waste of money. Consumer Reports runs tests on vacuums periodically and it always finishes near the bottom. We made the mistake of buying one and regret it to this day. If you're not familiar with it, it operates by sucking air through a pan of water. You have to fill up the pan and dump it every time you use it. Negatives * The salesperson will make a big deal about not having to change bags. That's right. It's even worse, you have to dump water out EVERY time you vacuum. (Instead of merely throwing away a bag every couple of months. The water is disgusting when you dump it and clogs your drains if you're not careful. * It's a pain to have to assemble the vacuum every time you use it. With my old vacuum, if my daughter spilled something, I would just take out the vacuum and clean it up. Now I have to take all the parts out, fill the pan with water, vacuum, dump the pan, let it air out, then put away. * The reason Consumer Reports rates it lowly is because it doesn't suck very well. * The salesmen will tell you about the filtering properties of the water. Consumer Reports should it wasn't true. In addition, you can easily buy a vacuum with allergy bags. Questions to ask yourself: * If vacuuming through water was so effective, why doesn't Hoover use the same method? Answer: it isn't effective. They'll tell you that the reason is because of patents. Don't believe them. They'll also tell you that Rainbow has been in business since the 30s. Since patents only last 20 years, that'll tell you that the patent reason is false. * If the cleaner was so effective, why not sell it in stores? The reason is the high pressure sales tactics, which got us before we gained a backbone. Don't buy a Rainbow. |
