wow, sounds familiar. the rainbow, the kirby..i think besides the fact that my folks were amazed at the cleaning power of the thing–they also felt pity on the relative who sold it to them, wanting to help them out too. I know it was way over their budget too, shoppin at canned grocery outlet and food4less…

oh kirby. i remember the sample filter he would pull out after quickly vacuuming a small section of our carpet. that vacuum weighs a ton though–good thing it had the “drive” option, but switching back n forth from vacuum to the hand tools was a pain.

was i the only one who had tupperware parties/get togethers at my place?

I can only remember maybe 3-4 times when my mom used our Salad Master. It was my aunt who suckered my mom into buying it.

Oh yes my parents were suckers for the Rainbow vacuum. my mom tried to return it, but the shop was vacated and the dude dipped. someone has to do research on working immigrant folks and these get-rich-quick schemes with appliances that SUCK.

But umm…two words for everyone: Salad Master?

hollur if ya hear meh….

I guess that you dont know that numerous friends of ours have parents who bought a Kirby too. I’m not sure if it’s a Filipino thing or what.

Oh snaap! I thought my parents were the only one’s swindled owners of a Kirby vacuum. On my most recent visit, I noticed the retirement of the Kirby, and the return to the Rainbow vacuum systems with the water filter system. Anyone else know somethin about the Rainbow??
