I could never have imagined buying a $3000 vacuum cleaner. But we just did over the weekend. It is awfully expensive, but after seeing what it does, I think many people would be convinced they need one like it. I suppose their marketing strategy is really effective. They make you feel really bad about not having one, so that you need to buy one right away. They are certainly pretty good at helping to guide you along toward the “buy” decision. This is the Rainbow vacuum cleaner manufactured by Rexair LLC. It employs a water bath filtration system, or in other words, it uses water to collect dust, instead of the dust bag used by most regular vacuum cleaner. This is certainly not the first water system that I’ve seen or used. But this Rainbow system is surprisingly effective at picking up dirt. The “problem” with dust bag that they try to tell you is: So, hence, how perfect a water based system is. No dust bag, nothing to get clogged. Water is changed every time.

Their demonstration focuses a lot on the amount of dust that is picked up by the vacuum, and how much of that could potentially be exhausted back into the environment by regular dust bag vacuum cleaners. I’m sure regular vacuum cleaners are not as bad as they picture them to be. But definitely their arguments make some sense, no denying that. Yes, this picture sure looks gross. That’s the amount of dirt collected from just merely vacuuming up ONE piece of carpet/rug. Yeah, we’ve not washed it before, but it has been vacuumed from time to time (with our regular vacuum cleaner). That’s just the dust from one piece of carpet/rug picked up by the Rainbow vacuum cleaner. Now, you can perhaps appreciate why, after observing one demonstration, that you’d feel so uneasy about the amount of dirt in your house, and guilty about not having such a vacuum cleaner. I think the “magic” of the system’s ability to extract out dirt comes from the Power Nozzle, which consist of a high speed rotating brush that kind of “beats” the carpet (or cushion, bed, mattress, etc), reaching into the fabric to dig out the dust, then sucking it into the vacuum.

The rest of its accessories and functions are not unlike regular vacuum cleaners. Water bath filtration certainly has its advantages over dust bags too. The big question is, is it worth $3000? I cannot imagine the cost of manufacturing the product would come anywhere close to even one-fifth of that price. They claim technical superiority of their motor system, but well the question again is whether it’s worth $3000? If the Rainbow vacuum cleaner can last 15 years (it comes with 8 years warranty), the $3000 works out to be just $17 a month. It sounds like a worthy investment for you and your children’s health. I would love to hear some input about other competing water based vacuum systems.Update added by user Aug 17, 2015 On August 16th (exactly 14 days from my initial request for a refund), Ritello rep finally refunded me the amount and I am able to confirm the refund. I am glad the matter is concluded. I can only hope no other will fall prey to these vacuum cleaner seller ever again.

Original review posted by user Aug 16, 2015 Recently I purchased a Ritello vacuum cleaner. I was enticed by their anytime-return policy, stating that they provide me 7 days to change my mind. I did some research and found out that this brand is connected to Delphin, Rainbow, Lura, Ritello, Sirena, pretty much all other shady vacuum business. vacuum cleaner bagless or bagI also found out that they are made in China, not in Italy as what they seem to claim. black and decker vacuum cleaner india reviewI immediately give one of their agent a call to claim the return as they had promised. ridgid vacuum cleaner accessoriesTheir agent hang up on me, delaying any kind of response until the 7 days period is over.

On the 7th working day day I sent them an email asking for clarification regarding the return process. Guess what, they took almost one week to reply and simply stated "Sorry it has been past 7 days, we will not refund you." They refused to acknowledge the call I made to their agent but luckily I have done my research and I approach them as if I'm talking to a scammer and recorded all conversation. Right now I'm in the middle of trying to bring them to court, as well as tried to recover my losses by selling the item through 3rd channel. To my surprise they managed to take down my listing, which means they have the power to silence customer's complaint. 1- Ritello gives you free gift. If you read the small print, it is stated there that you need to pay $125 if you want to cancel an appointment with them. 2- After you receive the free gift, they will enter your house and force you to sign a purchase contract, while taunting that you can cancel at anytime and that you don't need to worry.

Bonus study: They will also claim that the price is only valid for one day, so that you cannot do any kind of deep research on their brand to figure out that they are the same as Delphin, Rainbow, Lura, Ritello, Sirena, etc. 3- Upon doing your research and asking to cancel your order, they will stop replying to you until the return period is over. 4- When the return period is over, they will now reply you, claiming that you have exceeded your return period and the item can no longer be returned. 5- If you try to post complaints online, they will try to silence you, either by posting out-of-place random praises to their company (posted by their staff), or they will try to silence you by legal means.
