My parents have had a Kirby since 1979 and its still running strong as and sucks like no tomarrow, lifetime guarantee and work cant be beat. new ones are like 1500 and are now self propelled, are 35 or so year old one would still get 400 bucks from them. It weighs a good 20 pounds, since its made out of steel, its a Bag vac, bags last like 3 months in my house. It kicks the shit out of any Sears type brand eureka dyson hoover shit. I bet rainbow is the same type of quality, just a different name ---

yea, $2000 for the full system brand new. but as long as your not the type of person that tends to throw your vacuum down the stairs, and you can handle a few simple maintenance steps (clean the basin, clean the seperator) it will last for ever the only thing that REALY causes damage to a rainbow is: 1. leaving it sit on the basin while its full of water (causes the motor to rust) 2. cleaning up ashes (doesnt get trapped in the water) 3. cleaning up drywall dust (doesnt get trapped in the water) 4. cleaning up concrete dust (turns to concrete, duh) if you do those 4 things, it will last indefinantly ---

in my experience, dirt devils and orecks blow. I have a fantom vacuum and it rocks… [http://www.fantom.com](http://www.fantom.com) the full size upright : Fantom® Twister™ 500DX it’s a bit heavy, but it hasn’t broken yet and it’s been abused. \<3 cleaning. dysons are sweet but they’re $$$$$ for something so small… and brightly colored. I’ve heard good things about Rainbow but never used one. you can borrow mine if you want to try it out. good luck Jeff. ---

I got a Dyson for $235 off [woot.com](http://woot.com) a month back. It works great compared to my old vacuum. The only downfall is the brush doesn’t work as good as the old vacuum. And Rainbow does kick ass. My parents have had one for 20 years with no problems. But they are expensive. The other vacuum I have is a Hoover which was a model for pet hair. Actually works real good especially in corners and on stairs. But the Dyson cleans up more than the Hoover does on open floors. ---
