We still have it... it works... it is heavy... it is delegated to the basement for periodic "employment".

We also had a Rainbow at one time..... nice concept... way too expensive. If anyone is looking to buy farm #11, I mean a new vacuum.... just visit a few farm, I mean, vacuum repair shops...... They usually have all kinds of abandoned Kirbys and Dysons.

Unfortunately, none of them have FT farms for sale..... not even used ones.

OMG I have a Rainbow vacuum/air cleaner. It was amazing and i loved it and the place always smelt beautiful. Unfortunately whilst I was in the army and working 15 hours a day, my flat mate did all the vacuuming, good girl she is, but unfortunately she didnt empty it all the time over time the bolt that kept it attached rusted on to the filter, hence the motor.. and that was the end of that lmao.. nothing was ever going to bugde that bolt to loosen! Such a shame, I really loved it.. but then back to an old electrolux model i pulled out of the garage.. it went on for many more years haha!
