Does this work as an air purifier as well? We recently were shown a Rainbow and it worked as an air purifier as well as a vacuum.

Let me say this: When I use my rainbow to vacuum in closets or dusty corners, I do not sneeze! I would not use it as an air purifier, per se, as it is very noisy, but it does capture most of the dusty particles in the air when you are vacuuming. I attribute my son's healthiness to the Rainbow as he could have had a very bad bronchial condition. In addition, he had eczema and I strongly believe the Rainbow helped to keep the dust at a minimum as dust aggravated his eczema. This was 44 years ago when I bought my first Rainbow and I am now on my third one.

I have owned Rainbows for about 45 years. The fellow who demonstrated my first one began with the air purifier mode and then continued to the vacuum mode. The intake on the Rainbow pulls air in and cleans the dust/pollen particles out by filtering them through the water. The down side to using one as a continuous air cleaner is the noise; I doubt you'd want to listen to that all or most of the time.

It is in some way, but just to let it run as an air cleaner it would be to noisy and not cost effective.

The vaccuum really sucks all the air out. Squishing it won't do the full purpose

yes & there is a few different types of filter media that you can use so you can filter out the specific problems that you are having with your air supply... it is VERY small so next time I am going to get a bigger one so it would last longer between cleanings...

Great Questions :) Yes when you buy from Great Vacs all of our Rainbows come with our 5 year warranty. Even though our Rainbows already run great we go ahead and rebuild each one to like new condition so it qualifies for our 5 year warranty. All the items it comes with are shown in the picture. This comes with the Aquamate 2 shampooer kit (and its complete) as well as everything else you see in the picture.Let us know if you have any other questions :)Thanks DustinGreat Vacs

Good Morning! No I am sorry to say it only clears the air directly under your nose. For other areas I use the Holmes air purifier. I love the way they work and they are extremely affordable. Due to breathing and allergy issues we never have the ozone on and we actually put tape so that we do not turn it on accidently. We have been using the original (unscented) Holmes for over 10 years and it is extremely affordable and rinse and vacuum the filter every week or two with a dust buster.

I wear a mask..... It does make fine dust and I have a Rainbow vacuum I run that pulls air from room and through a water bath.It can also be hooked up to the saw. Mine is loud but the new ones are quiet on one setting and guaranteed to run for life of the buyer, with the advantage of filtering the whole house air every so minutes.

It's too noisy for that, and I'm sure would result in disfunction, as that is not its intended use. I bought the Oreck AIR108 for that purpose. It's virtually silent. I've run it continuously for the last 9 months and going strong. It filters 99.999 percent of stuff out of the air, and even though I have 3 cats, my co-worker, who is allergic (we both work all day in my home office) is not suffering in the least. Very effective in combination with the Rainbow, which I use as was intended, as a vacuum cleaner.

There are several reports about the Hepa filter on this vacuum does not work & mostly leaks. See the reviews herein on Amazon. If these are true, what a scam Eureka is imposing on it's customers.. I wonder if Eureka has fixed this problem? my guess is no because the Hepa filter is probably too small to handle all the air flow so they have to bypass some of the air flow around it & into the house. It's a shame they don't respond to this issue. The other does not have a Hepa.

No!! This unit is used to remove air and create a vacumm in whatever device it is hooked up to such as an AC unit. It is not to be confused with a sweeper/vacumm

I have not cleaned mine. i think the idea is that the wavelength of light emitted destroys particles in the air, not that it has some fan-type air filter attached (sorry if that's not clear or correct-- I'm not a physicist). Just saying that mine appears to be an ordinary lightbulb.

This is not a vaporizer,this is an air purifier. If there is steam coming out of it,then there is something wrong with it! However the air that comes out of it is cool.

Hi Mac,It's just a powerful standard hand vac.--no blowing of air so far as I know.

No. This light is too small to effectively purify the air. It is better suited as a low density night light.

When it worked, it moved a decent amount of air, however, it stopped working after only 1 month. As for the HEPA filter, it does have filters, I could not attest to if they are true HEPA filters though.

This model is a vacuum cleaner only. There are other attachments needed to shampoo carpets. Otherwise, this a fantastic vacuum!! I always loved Rainbows ever since I sold them in '85...wouldn't use anything else!! These are the ONLY way to get ALL the dirt out of your house!!

Yes it is :) When you buy from GreatVacs you can also buy a voltage convertor designed for Rainbow vacuums called the "Vac Volt". With this appliance it allows you to use it anywhere in the world. 120 volt, 220 volt and 240 volt. It also comes with plug ins for any outlet in the world. When you use your Rainbow vacuum with the Vac Volt you are also protected by the GreatVacs 5 year warranty on our Rainbow vacuums. If you have any other questions I suggest contacting us at service@greatvacs.com and we can answer any of your questions but yes it is possible. Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (seller)

Yes, it comes with a 5 year warranty. I sent them back my old Rainbow so they could rebuild and sell to someone else. They gave me a credit for my old Rainbow and the rebuilt one works perfectly. Shipping was FREE to send my old one back to them. Best vacuum cleaner in the whole world! I had my old one since 1988!
