I had a Rainbow a long time ago. Aside from looking like something from outer space and being a pain to empty the water bin, that thing was amazing! The first time I used it, I sucked the curtains right off the rods! And when I check the water resovoire, I thought there was a dead rat in it. That's how much yukky stuff it got out of my carpet. I also used it to unclog a drain that nobody else could get unclogged - and to clean up the inch of water on my floor when my washer overflowed. Congrats! - have fun with it
