Not only is the Rainbow cleaning system superior to anything else on the market, the availability of having home maintenance creates just another reason to invest in a Rainbow. Everyone’s time is precious and this added service stands out to any other “sweeper” one could purchase. One does not need to wait for parts to be shipped/arrive, as well as scheduling multiple service appointments to get the machine back in peak operation. The suggestions/advice when interacting with the sales associates is noteworthy without pressure to purchase a newer unit. Thank you for the exceptional product, the associates that all demonstrate a sense of genuine proprietorship and complete product knowledge. It is outstanding that a quality product is still made in the USA and lasts for decades. Best product one can purchase for a lifetime of solid use. Worth every penny.
