Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner

[Princess Sunflower]

I bought a Rainbow about 6 years ago and absolutely love it compared to my built in vacuum cleaner. Now I bought the Aquamate attachment for cleaning the carpets. Anyone have any experience using the Aquamate and how it cleaned compared to renting a shampooing machine at the grocery store.

Thanks

I've owned a Rainbow for over ten years now, and I love it. My Aquamate attachment (not sure if they've changed them since then) has a long hose that attaches to the faucet. Although I love the way it cleans, I find it to be a pain in the neck having to empty the basin so often (I have the standard one that comes with the unit). I do think it cleans much better than the Rug Doctor's though. Unfortunately, I threw mine away a few years ago, as there must have been a tiny stone that clogged the hose because I could not get water through it anymore (hint - if you can, do not take the screens out of your faucet if possible).

Thanks for the advice. I have a few pet stains I hope will come out with it.
