| When I learned I was allergic to house dust – those pesky mites – 25 years ago I was nearly devastated. Not only because I wasn’t the world’s best housekeeper, but I had been suffering from occasional mild allergy symptoms that would once or twice a year become attacks so bad I would go nearly deaf due to the swollen membranes and fluid behind my eardrums. The allergist wanted me to start taking allergy shots. Instead, I bought a Rainbow vacuum. There’s no way any dust gets through the water in the reservoir, and there’s no filter that can beat water for keeping everything from getting through the vacuum and back into the house. The vacuum itself works as good as or better than any other brand of vacuum. Since I’ve been using it, the bad attacks are limited to once every two or three years at most and are usually the result of spending too much time in older buildings without good air filtration. I can deal with my allergies with just Alavert, occasionally FloNase, and sometimes Simply Saline -- no shots. After 20 years my old Rainbow bit the dust, but it had lasted through many, many moves and a couple of messy teenagers, and I expect the new one will last just as long. Don’t get one if you’re not willing to deal with the work – they can be a pain to use. Don’t tip them over, clean out the yucky wet dust/hair blob, empty the nasty water – but for me it’s well worth it. They’re worth the hefty price, too, considering how well they work and how long they last. |
