Skeptical
I have not used this part in my rainbow vacuum as of yet. I wanted a backup separator so I could swap out the used dirty one with a new clean dry one each use, allowing time for the used one to be cleaned/dried before use again. I received my new separator promptly, however, the image on Amazon is not identical to the separator I received. The one in the picture has a metal ring at the base of the unit, as does my original separator. The one I received does NOT have this metal ring, making me nervous to use it, as Rexair (the company that makes Rainbow Vacuums) says ONLY to use IDENTICAL parts when replacing parts. This is the most important part of the vacuum, keeping the water/dirt out of the motor. If the original has a metal ring around the bottom, I think a "Genuine" separator, as this one claims to be, should also have the metal ring.
Easy self repair part
Needed to replace this broken part in our RAINBOW vacuum… Did it our self and saved costly repair fees… Part came quickly… To remove old part heat with hairdryer to loosen bolt and then replaced with new separator. exactly the same as the old one and easy to install yourself. hope it prolongs the life of this lifetime vacuum… going on 12 years now. Thanks!
Stopped after 10 years
This separator finally began to breakdown. The last few years I did not clean it nearly as often I am embarrassed to say. In fact, it had be so long the nut was frozen on. This made life very complicated. I found on the internet to take it to a mechanic and have him use a special type of wrench on it and it worked. I will never go that long without taking it off and cleaning it again. It was about a year, think.
