We purchased our Rainbow vacuum 10 yrs. ago and almost immediately it started to have problems.  At first they (the Rainbow salesperson) fixed the vacuum with no charge, but as the years went on and the problems got bigger the charge was as much as a "regular" vacuum.
Now I know things do not last forever, and we live in a throw away society, but come on....hoses coming off, cheap plastic holding a 1500.00 machine together, brushes that come off .  If I had spend 100.00, even 500.00, I would expect the thing to fall apart , but like I said....1500.00.
My parents had a Rainbow when I was a kid, so I did not hesitate to buy one, even for that much money, but they never had these problems, and we (us kids) played with it, and abused it, which my children do not!
This vacuum does do a great job, but when it keeps falling apart....not worth it.
Save your money, buy a Hoover.

I do believe it is worth the money now. 10yrs ago, yeah their product probably was a bit crappy, but now, with new technologies and better materials...Come on...I bet if you bought one now, you would love it. --busy mom
