I just purchased the pro lux vacuum after owning a Rainbow for many years. I liked the Rainbow too but a new one is way too expensive. The Prolux is similar… but lighter wt… hoses and cords are longer. It has great suction. I like the smaller motor head! Also lighter and able to get under things easier.. My only complaint is that the motor head does not stand up on its own. So if you stop the vacuum, you have to have something for it lean on or drop it to the floor. 😖
