I would think that anything with water in it would not be good for a CF child

because of the bacteria that breed in water. I would check in to this air

purifier more before I spent that kind of money. Deb A

Has anyone ever heard of the rainbow vacuum cleaner? For those that haven't,

it is a vacuum cleaner that uses water to collect the dirt and debris

instead of a bag. When it was demonstrated I was definately impressed by

that part of it. There wasn't a bunch of dust and particles flying around

like there is when I use my regular vacuum.

It is also suppose to be an air purifier. That is what I am a little

sceptical about. How can you tell if an air purifier is really purifying the

air or if it is just blowing it around?

Does anyone have any info on this machine? It is quite expensive....$1,700,

I think.

Rainbow is supposed to be to vacuum cleaners what Mercedes is to

cars. My sister had one and loved it, but they are high dollar.

The way to tell if it is cleaning the air is to let it run for awhile

then check the water. The air is supposed to be cleaned while

passing through the water, so dirty water should mean cleaner air.

Since you empty the water each time it's used, you don't have to

worry about just blowing the dirty air around the room. They are

great for cleaning and freshening the air (they come with different

scents that you can add to the water,) but still, nearly $2,000 for a

vacuum is pretty steep.

WOW...You are so right. We have one in our support groups who sells them. He

has CF & his mom says that is why is soooooo healthy. He is 43yrs & still

doing so well. he looks more like a body builder then someone with CF. .The

only thing he doesn't like about doing them is he doesn't have insurance as

each demonstrator is an independent contractor . He says it is such a great

machine.....He did a couple demos for the support group ..not for sales but

he showed us the difference in the air. Folks couldn't believe so much still

in a spotless clean home. I think we forget , air---etc-is coming in every

second. YES. that isn't JUST A VACUUM.....It is a very strong air cleaner .

the beauty is you can take it in different rooms. or do it more in one place

than the other etc....... Thanks for the reminder about that.

LOVE & HUGS, GrandmomBEV
