I've had Rianbow vacuums for years, the dust that a Rainbow will not trap are usually an oil base or petroleum base, thus, they will not stick to water. Same as scents that you put in your Rainbow, they need to be oil based, as to not stick to the water. Rainbow years ago made a filtet to put AFTER the water that would capture these particles....not worth it in my opinion for normal household cleaning. Still, the greatest machine ever for cleaning throughly!
For normal household use (not shampooing) that is exactly how you use it. There is a marker in the center of the water collector, you fill it with water to the top of that marker and use it.
If you are interested in a rainbow system or a free demonstration in melbourne, or anywhere else in the state of Victoria, south australia or tasmania, Australia, please contact the rainbow office at (03) 9544 9400 or contact Jo'ash at
Rainbows are a good vacuum but you are both right. Fine dust will not be filtered by water alone. And in a rainbow the dirt is being thrown into water where as in nature rain washes dust down to the ground. But the rainbow will outdo and bagless vacuum anyday. If you want proof suck up drywall dust or flour it will blow right off the water. I don't recemend this though. But try this fill you sink with water and dump a cup of flour on it does it sink in or bubble on top.
Yes. Don't vacuum up anything non-wettable with Rainbow. One thing that I suspect a lot of people do is when vacuuming with Rainbows, they fill the basin with water and vacuuming their entire house with "one fill" and when done, dump the thick mud out. Not saying all do this but I'll bet the majority do. I can only imagine what the machine looks like inside. Change the water frequently, the water filters dirt, but the mud can't. I don't think they specify this in demo's though.
no offense, but unless you've worked with vacuums before and know how they ALL work I don't think you can say one is better than another. But, being as a person who kills vacuums every day, rainbow vacuums use water to filter right? Think of how a bong works, the smoke goes into a bubble and back out into your lungs...dirt goes into the water, into a bubble and then back OUT into the air only catching the outer edges of the dirt making the water appear dirty. Water CAN'T filter AIR
wet dirt doesnt fly out of water, it goes into the water and you empty it. Water does filter the dust/dirt/hair in the air. I bought one a while ago and it kicks ass.
Ok, so if what you say is true and water doesn't filter the dirt, then on my Rainbow shouldn't the hepa filter be NASTY if what your saying is the case? Why is it still snow white after almost three years? Um, No offense.
@duckfart77 A bong works under a different premise than a vacuum. Have you ever not cleaned a bong? The water filters plenty of the tar from the smoke. The Rainbow is using a fan to disturb the water. It isn't just a straight tube like a bong. The water sloshes and catches the dirt. Then what's left is captured by the HEPA. If you think Im wrong you can always do a smoke test on the vac. or ashes would work as well.

I know the E series ONE speed has 2 filters. But I wasn't aware that the 2 speed brushless motor had 2 filters. I have the 2 speed.
