I’m just amazed at how this man cleans. My husband could give two shits about a clean house. I’m 8 months pregnant and guess who’s still vacuuming and doing all of the cleaning? 🙋🏼♀️ Meeeee. Luckily I have my girlfriend Sirena.
I had a rainbow vacuum for years. With the rainbow, I was told to never store water in the vacuum as it can cause mold. After vacuuming, clean the basin and allow it to dry.
I have always popped it off the water basin if I take more than a 30 minute break vacuuming so the moisture does not effect the motor. I have had my Rainbow last doing this.
Thanks for the video…. Yours ultimately made up my mind on my purchase and I’m so glad I did! I LOVE my Sirena… I was so hesitant to spend the $$$ on a rainbow but I came across your video and it SOLD ME!
Thank you. I was in your same boat. I just couldn’t see spending the money on a rainbow. So, when I found the Sirena. I had to let people know that there are just as good or better alternative for a cheaper price. 👍🏻
So I took your advice and finally convinced the wife. It’s great, the house is so much cleaner and the air is fresher! Totally agree the hose needs to be longer though.
In response to the claim made at 1:02 the only ways to remove humidity from the air are through desiccant material or condensation, usually this requires a surface that's below the dew point such as an evap coil in an aircon/dehumidifier. I don't see a refrigerant compressor or desiccant beads in that vac so I don't see how it's going to remove humidity.
I’m in the process of convincing my husband to get me one but I’ve had bad decisions with previous vacuums such as shark and dyson. Shark lasted a month and dyson a year.
I’ve had both shark and Dyson. Sirena stands above them in my experience’s. Having 3 inside dogs, it just grabs all the hair and dirt. I hope your convincing gets through to him. 🤞🏼
The only thing that can touch this is a Rainbow. As as Ex Rainbow dealer for years I can say this machine is nearly as well built, and does the same job. Nothing else will eat and remove ALL the dust from a home. This is IT for dust and allergy homes. I expect this unit will not last the decades a Rainbow does, but I do expect it to go 7-10 years of good service for the $500 for the unit. No brainer decision honestly.
I’ve had mine for awhile now. It’s amazing but you will have to clean it a lot. But hey that’s not anything compared to the mess left on a carpet after a day with 2 dogs 2 kids and one cat
@@Cupcakeprosup It will be drastic if you use the machine. These is nothing like this and Rainbow. Everything else is a "dry" cleaning method where some (the finest and more allergen loaded) stays in the air of the home and resettles. This completely eliminates it from the home environment.
I was also thinking of getting a Rainbow but couldn’t justify the price. Found out about the Sirena, saw this video and was sold. No regrets buying the Serina.
Phillip, I want to make sure I understood you. You have only tile floors and find great use with this? I only have tile floors and no carpet and want to be sure there is great benefit to buying one in my situation. Thanks much!
Yes, my whole house is tile flooring. With a few area rugs. I do still have to mop the floors once in a while to sanitize of coarse. It’s also a nice test to see how great the vacuum is picking up all the dirt when the water in your mop bucket is pretty much clear. 🙂 Although I wish they had a mop attachment for the Sirena. That, I think would be amazing.
It's USD 1K here in Indonesia and I can't justify the price difference compared to the US. I'm not sure about how the warranty would work here. Spare parts may be scarce as well resulting in lengthy down time. Rainbow and Hyla cost about the same here as in the US.
"When you're not cleaning you can spend time with your family.... Or you can do other things if you want." Made me laugh! 😂😂😂 Sometimes I do want to do other things. 🙆♀️ Lol! Great tutorial. I just bought mine and am excited!!!
Also would you recommend their air purifiers? Hoping it will clean the air the days I'm not using the vac. W flu season approaching, I want to minimize the risk for anything thst could stress resp system.
They are great to have going around the house to help keep the air fresh. Ours has a light on them that I wish it could be turned off. It stays on all the time as the unit runs. I don’t know if they changed this in the newer air purifiers.
I have an issue undocking the main machine off of the water basin/dolly. Sometimes it wants to pull the whole thing off. Also I have to use some brute force to remove the top handle that goes to the power nozzle. Is this normal? I didn’t get a dvd or separator tool so it was quite difficult to assemble. The manual was kind of useless, no instructions. Is there an easier way to use this? Did you have these issues? If not what could I be missing?
I haven’t had any of these issues. Everything slides together and pulls off with ease. The only thing that I noticed with undocking the sirena is, it gets hung up sometimes if you like it straight up out of the dock. I find if you lift up and tilt the unit forward a bit as your going up it comes out nicely. Same as putting it back onto the dolly in reverse .
@@PhillipBridgesReviews Thank you Philip, after messing with it a while carefully I figured it out. So far it's a great vacuum! I never got my getting started dvd tutorial though... I have contacted them, but they have not returned my call...
We decided ours today but the power vacuum Brush(the thing u were cleaning the kids carpet with) was spinning like in a regular vacuum. We weren’t sure if it was supposed to or if it was just supposed to roll
How do you like your Sirena vacuum almost 6 months after the time of uploading this video? My wife and I had a Rainbow pitch and we loved the product but we didn't like the price, like you were saying. We want the Sirena but we want to make absolutely certain that we are making the right purchase for almost a $1000 vacuum.
Perfect timing for a great question. I will be doing a follow up video very soon. Will be going over pro and cons that I have come across with the unit that people should be aware of before purchasing. Would I go back to a regular vac instead of the Sirena as a main vac for my house? Probably not. 👍🏻
@@kathleenscirpoli9852 We bought one shortly after my original comment and it is easily the best vacuum I have ever owned. I feel like the carpets are actually getting cleaned! Thanks for the comment! :)
@@580678 not true, some particles aren't water soluble so the water cannot trap them. This is why they add the hepa filter. Particle counters don't lie.
The Hepa is only there to catch "non-wetable" dirt in the event you suck up ash or baby powder so the machine does not blow it out. Secondary in the event of no water there has be a "catch-all". Otherwise yes, the water does capture all the hepa remains intact. (Rainbow dealer for years)
Thank you for sharing. I just got my vaccumn and i am not certain on how to use this as just a purifier. Do you keep the caps on both sides when using to purify? When running the vaccumn fo you keep the cap on the other side?
Yes keep the caps on for purifying. Only take the vacuum cap off for vacuuming. The back filter cap only needs to come off when changing out the HEPA filter when it needs it.
Hi, I'm sure it's in here somewhere but to save me time, how do I use it purely as an air purifier? Am I doing it correct by taking the vent out of the back and leaving the hose out?
All you have to do is leave the hose off the unit and turn it on high or low when there is the proper water level in it. Add your scent to the water if you like. That's it. You do not take the vent off the back. 😉
@@PhillipBridgesReviews you know I think you are wrong about the back vent. If you don't open it, it seems like it doesn't clean the air at all. It just turns the room into a very humid space, and not good if you're using the same water you vacuumed with! 😅
Question? Do you remove the HEPA cover when filtering just air? When the cover is on it seems like the exhausted clean air is restricted. When I remove the cover air flows freely. What say you?
No, the hepa is a final catch all but NOT part of the cleaning process under normal use. If you mess up and suck up "non-wetable" dirt (think ash or talcum powder or chalk) the hepa will catch this (and clog), if you run too little water, again hepa will catch (and clog). Under normal (correct use) the hepa is in essence being used, and will last indefinitely as the water is catching everything, leave it in always.
I just purchased one today. Can't wait to receive it. I own a rainbow I needed a new vacuum and rainbow is too expensive now. So, I can't wait for my serina vacuum. How long does it come in the mail?
When I ordered mine. I received it in 4 days. That was pre Covid too. Depending on where you are at is also factor. With the Holidays, I would expect a little longer wait time for delivery.
Depends. If I just tips over, it should not leak water cause it’s under vacuum pressure when it’s on. Now if the unit is set up on a counter or table and it falls. Well that’s a different story. I will be doing a follow up video very soon that answers a lot of questions including pros and cons that over the months I have noticed.
Phillip Bridges Bro please do me a favor. Next time you use just the air cleaning, take off the front cap where the power nozzle plugs in..grab a flash light and stir up some dust and you will def see particles flowing into the front of your Vac! AND if you just put your finger in the small opening you can feel air flowing in Maybe I was just doing it wrong all along but I’ve also left on the front cap when air cleaning..I don’t think we’re supposed to
I did a test with a flashlight and some lint from the dryer. With the front cap still on, it sucks the lint particles into the vacuum. The cap is a half circle that fits into where you would connect the hose. Which actually increases suction on low just a little. Like a crevasse tool at the end of a hose. With the cap off, it seemed not to suck as much dust or lint on low.
I will add... having the cap on, it grabs more of the air coming from the floor than air passing in front of the unit. Which is fine cause usually the floor is the dirtiest.
Yes. Take off the black intake cover to add scent. Myself, I just shut the unit off, take out the water canister and add some really quick. I find you have more control on how much you put in. It seems when adding it through the intake it can suck out more than you want in the bottle.
does it really help that much with allergies? my fiance has severe allergies to dust and cats and we live with 3 cats. Well I can't get rid of the cats and I can't get rid of the fiance, will this vacuum help solve my dilemma?
It can help a lot in allergy relief. I can't say it will 100% solve it. I use ours a lot and my wife with allergies can defiantly tell if I haven't vacuumed or at least run it as a purifier in a few days. Just running for about a half hour to a hour a day can help freshen up the air and collect dust floating around.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews umm no it doesn't i was trying for 5minutes and I see what they said and no they all dnt. I called the company going return this because not made for older or disabled people like myself too much do get everything ready to vacuum.
I bought one yesterday wainting for it now. Son have a rainbow I loved that but I'm not paying 2500 for a vacuum just under 490 with a extra hepa filter.
Hi there, I'm just wondering if you are still liking this system as I am interesting in buying one and most of what I see do not seem like true reviews. Also, what type of plug/outlet does this plug into in the wall? I'm from New Zealand so am thinking I will need to buy an adaptor of some sort!
I still love this unit and use it almost daily. The suction on it is amazing. I just used it as a wet vac the other day when my humidifier leaked water all over the tile floor. Instead of grabbing towels, I grabbed the Sirena. Worked great. Not very many home vacs can do that. The plug on the unit is a standard 2 prong plug for the US. Hopefully, this helped you. I have a playlist of videos on my channel about the Sirena Vacuum too, if you haven't checked them out already. 😊
The rainbow has a program, you’ll end up paying $200.00 for your Rainbow ..! plus win a vacation at a resort or a cruise.! Plus get attachments like shampooer for carpet and or the mop and grout cleaner for free..! Just ask your nearest rainbow dealer if they have the RTP program..! You won’t regret it…
Mine is quieter on low although it is still loud. About the same noise level as a load of clothes spinning out on the washing machine. I didn't get my instructional DVD. I sent an email on the 14th of December and haven't heard back from anyone. Wondering if I emailed the wrong party? Do you happen to have that email handy?
Thanks so much, was trying to find a water vacuum. I grew up with a rainbow, but the cost is just to much. With 3 huskies hair and dust are taking over.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews buy a used Rainbow instead.. These know off copycats are not as good quality at all. Thats a fact. You can get used ones a good prices and they will work great.
The Sirena does not have a mopping option. The Rainbow vacuum does. I rate the quality of the Rainbow mop equivalent to a Swiffer mop. I wish Sirena did come out with a mop option and make it better.
If it’s not water. I would definitely vacuum up a little bit of water after cleaning up the liquid to raise off the inside of the hose. Then blow it out to dry it like I did in my video.
The Rainbow has other accessories as well like the Aquamate, a self-contained power shampooer for rugs and a miniaturised shampooer, called, "MiniJet." The mop is called , "RainJet" and even though it looks like a Swiffer WetJet it is far superior as you pickup the solution right after you spray it and in conjunction with the JetPad it is more environmentally friendly as it uses micro-fibre pads you can wash instead of throw away pads. One thing that bothers me about Sirena is the stair and upholstery tool. It should be a motorized unit instead of using a turbine.
This vacuum system is basically a fancy bong, I don't know why we didn't figure this out sooner, water is an awesome filter and anyone that has ever accidentally spilled bong water knows this.
I would recommend using a dedicated strainer that is used to strain pasta. All the hair and stuff the strainer catches then dump into the garbage. I dump mine out in my compost bin outside.
The Rainbow will last much longer then that system. The Rainbow will last 50 to 100 years if taken care of. The money you pay for the Rainbow is well worth never buying another vacuum in your life and whoever gets it after you.
Believe it or not I've been "researching" vacuums for a few years now as a consumer for home. I've spent hours and hours on reviews watching and reading etc. I stumbled on the Sirena after I watched Performance Review Channel that started giving me names of brands I've NEVER heard before! So worth the mention, but I love that he puts SEBO and Miele on the top tier S level assessment. I went to look for SEBO dealers and went onto a wormhole of websites offering high end, high performance tools for home cleaning and to help manage allergies. Allergy Buyers Club led me to a water filter search on Aquagear, and randomly to Sirena! (Saving anyone else the time going down the 🐇 🕳) Going to spend more time looking at your reviews. Enjoyed the comments giving real testimonials! 👌 allergies began plaguing us for a while, after my little one turned about 3 and we moved I tp a 100yr old house. I'd rather spend the $$ on cleaning environment than the time on Dr visits. Allergies are such a plague in the USA ...it should be avoided if possible at the very least at home, a safe space. Ooooo I just see you added essential oils! Yeeesss! I'm so glad you added that. 1 q: do the surfaces you clean remain wet? If so how long does it take for those surfaces to dry...each type respectively please. Ty (w the stellar service they have +10yr warranty, I'm sure they'll ans my qs but wanted tp ask from a user.)
The vacuum only uses the water as to filter out the debris that the vacuum picks up. It can act as a wet vac to vacuum up any liquid spills on the floor.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews so I've been using my Sirena and it's quite cumbersome! 😅 I've considered returning it because I'm not excited to use it every day. However, the water def tells you how gross the house is. It isn't for everyone and it isnt good for anyone with hand injuries etc. It def strains the wrist bc of how heavy (sturdy ofc and durable) the tube/extender attachments are. So smaller framed/petite folks might prefer for lighter more nimble vac/stick vac models.
I would really like to try the sirena cleaner,but the price is still a little much. Will you guys except payments or will I need to apply for a credit card. Or just save up untill I can afford it.
@@crystalemigh9253 if it's not affordable, consider a Henry. I'd say depending on your build, if youre a tall strong person, it's a good buy. Buy the recertified one. It's a grt concept but idk how practical it is for everyday use for folks who aren't as strong or have as much storage space. It sprawls out and you need a lot of strength in your fingers to push the lock buttons to release and change the vac heads out. It's def effective and does a grt job but it's again, bulky and cumbersome and you need to clean parts well. The dirty water has to be sifted from the dirt anf hair that collects. I couldn't just dump it into the toilet or sink. So if you're someoen who isn't meticulous, you might be disappointed. Also, we are not sellers. This isn't a sirena sellers page. Visit their website and call them.

I'm a guy and clean my house all the time, I love cleaning.
I had a rainbow vacuum for years. With the rainbow, I was told to never store water in the vacuum as it can cause mold. After vacuuming, clean the basin and allow it to dry.
True, but I run mine all the time and change out the water daily. After vacuuming I definitely change out the water with clean water . 👍🏻
It sinks if u leave it in there. Why would you leave the water in it anyways after doing it once and figuring out what happens.
Yes, but more importantly it will deform the seal for the basin to machine if left with water in the basin (and mounted) long term.
I have always popped it off the water basin if I take more than a 30 minute break vacuuming so the moisture does not effect the motor. I have had my Rainbow last doing this.
I bought mine for $498 Canadian dollars with all the free extras on their anniversary sale. I am excited to get mine soon.

Slide the black button down and pull up on the handle. The first couple times is tight. It gets better the more you take it off the power handle.
Just pull the wand. It is easy.
This sounds like a jet. It’s must have a butt load of suction. Awesome vid! I’m looking into one of these! ❤️
Rainbow used to be 80 cubic feet per minute, I expect this is close.
how heavy is this Sirena Vacuum?
32 pounds.
How much is the price of the one your using in your demo
At the time I payed $850 for mine. They are running a sale now for $698.
On the power brush you used on the play carpet is the brush supposed to spin automatically or just by movement?
The carpet brush has a powered beater head that hooks to the vacuum.
We decided ours today but the power vacuum Brush(the thing u were cleaning the kids carpet with) was spinning like in a regular vacuum. We weren’t sure if it was supposed to or if it was just supposed to roll

Can I use this to pick up wet stains in carpets/rugs???
Yes you can. The tank has a Max and Min mark, so do not pass over that.
Is this a good unit to use on wood floors , I'm concerned about scratching?
It is great on wood floors. They use real horse hair for the brush floor attachment so it is gentle on surfaces and allows more airflow.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews thank you
Whatever you do do not leave the water in the vacuum after your done! You will have a mildewy smell you can't get rid of. Yuck! Nice vid.
Is it heavy? We have a Majestic Filterqueen vacuum and it is heavy to tug around up and down the stairs.
It weighs 19lbs. or 8.6kg.

I will be doing a follow up video very soon that answers a lot of questions including pros and cons that over the months I have noticed.
I had the same thoughts about the front piece 😅
Would you benefit from the Sirena System? Comment down below and tell me about it. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
MOST DEFINITELY WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT!! I HAVE A RAINBOW VACUM THAT COSTS $4000 dollars!! The Serena does the same and Cost LESS
I would definitely benefit from this!!!
@@Durufle68 I have had it for over a year. One of the best investments for my family.
It sounds like i would....have 3 dogs who have long hair! And i have some medical issues that this would help
@@connemara522 We also have 3 dogs. Though they have short hair but this works amazing. After over 2 years of using it I still highly recommend it.
Are we supposed to take off the hepa filter cap when running low fan for air cleaning? Trying to get the most mileage out of our unit
I leave my cap on the unit.
Phillip Bridges Bro please do me a favor. Next time you use just the air cleaning, take off the front cap where the power nozzle plugs in..grab a flash light and stir up some dust and you will def see particles flowing into the front of your Vac! AND if you just put your finger in the small opening you can feel air flowing in
Maybe I was just doing it wrong all along but I’ve also left on the front cap when air cleaning..I don’t think we’re supposed to
Will do. I’ll let you know
I did a test with a flashlight and some lint from the dryer. With the front cap still on, it sucks the lint particles into the vacuum. The cap is a half circle that fits into where you would connect the hose. Which actually increases suction on low just a little. Like a crevasse tool at the end of a hose. With the cap off, it seemed not to suck as much dust or lint on low.
I will add... having the cap on, it grabs more of the air coming from the floor than air passing in front of the unit. Which is fine cause usually the floor is the dirtiest.
We have covid. Trying to use eucalyptus. Do I take off intake cover
Yes. Take off the black intake cover to add scent. Myself, I just shut the unit off, take out the water canister and add some really quick. I find you have more control on how much you put in. It seems when adding it through the intake it can suck out more than you want in the bottle.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews thank you
does it really help that much with allergies? my fiance has severe allergies to dust and cats and we live with 3 cats. Well I can't get rid of the cats and I can't get rid of the fiance, will this vacuum help solve my dilemma?
It can help a lot in allergy relief. I can't say it will 100% solve it. I use ours a lot and my wife with allergies can defiantly tell if I haven't vacuumed or at least run it as a purifier in a few days. Just running for about a half hour to a hour a day can help freshen up the air and collect dust floating around.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews thanks for taking the time to reply. your video was very informative.
But not all the pieces fit on cradle especially the little Brush I was trying.
Everything fits on except the wands and the floor attachment
@@PhillipBridgesReviews umm no it doesn't i was trying for 5minutes and I see what they said and no they all dnt. I called the company going return this because not made for older or disabled people like myself too much do get everything ready to vacuum.
I bought one yesterday wainting for it now. Son have a rainbow I loved that but I'm not paying 2500 for a vacuum just under 490 with a extra hepa filter.
$490 that’s a great price! 👍🏻👍🏻
How are you liking it? I just ordered one. 🤞🏻
I love it other than the base where you push down to release it os very cheap but al and all I do like it
Hi there, I'm just wondering if you are still liking this system as I am interesting in buying one and most of what I see do not seem like true reviews. Also, what type of plug/outlet does this plug into in the wall? I'm from New Zealand so am thinking I will need to buy an adaptor of some sort!
I still love this unit and use it almost daily. The suction on it is amazing. I just used it as a wet vac the other day when my humidifier leaked water all over the tile floor. Instead of grabbing towels, I grabbed the Sirena. Worked great. Not very many home vacs can do that. The plug on the unit is a standard 2 prong plug for the US. Hopefully, this helped you. I have a playlist of videos on my channel about the Sirena Vacuum too, if you haven't checked them out already. 😊
@@PhillipBridgesReviews Thank you so much yes everything you said in this reply is so helpful! I'll definitely have to check out the other videos!
Yes, buy it. 95% a Rainbow.
I'm sold ! 😂
So you run it as an air purifier all night? I have read that you can only run it for so long at a time (1 hour on/one hour off)
On the low setting is fine.
I never heard of this vacuum how much is it? Is it more affordable then the rainbow ?
They are around $799.00. New. A refurbished one, you can get for around $499.
Thank you for the video! Very informative. One question, since you’ve been using it has it cut down on dust being on things? Just vacuuming, I mean.
Yes, definitely.
I paid this $756.00 last weekend Sunday...
Rainbow vacuum knock off?
It works just as good. Mine is still doing great.
I'm on a budget and I wish it was a little cheaper
Amazon and a few other sites sell refurbished ones for a couple hundred dollars less I have seen.
The rainbow has a program, you’ll end up paying $200.00 for your Rainbow ..!
plus win a vacation at a resort or a cruise.!
Plus get attachments like shampooer for carpet and or the mop and grout cleaner for free..!
Just ask your nearest rainbow dealer if they have the RTP program..! You won’t regret it…
Mine is quieter on low although it is still loud. About the same noise level as a load of clothes spinning out on the washing machine. I didn't get my instructional DVD. I sent an email on the 14th of December and haven't heard back from anyone. Wondering if I emailed the wrong party? Do you happen to have that email handy?
This is the email I used. info@sirenainc.com Check your junk mail too cause that’s where my reply was in my email.
Thank you
Thanks so much, was trying to find a water vacuum. I grew up with a rainbow, but the cost is just to much. With 3 huskies hair and dust are taking over.
I here you. This is great for pet air
@@PhillipBridgesReviews buy a used Rainbow instead.. These know off copycats are not as good quality at all. Thats a fact. You can get used ones a good prices and they will work great.
Rainbow is the best option.
I agree, these knockoffs are not good. Used Rainbow is amazing.@@MIMMarketing
I love mine !!
Does it have a mopping option?
The Sirena does not have a mopping option. The Rainbow vacuum does. I rate the quality of the Rainbow mop equivalent to a Swiffer mop. I wish Sirena did come out with a mop option and make it better.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews so when you are cleaning up liquid do you have suggestions?
If it’s not water. I would definitely vacuum up a little bit of water after cleaning up the liquid to raise off the inside of the hose. Then blow it out to dry it like I did in my video.
The Rainbow has other accessories as well like the Aquamate, a self-contained power shampooer for rugs and a miniaturised shampooer, called, "MiniJet." The mop is called
, "RainJet" and even though it looks like a Swiffer WetJet it is far superior as you pickup the solution right after you spray it and in conjunction with the JetPad it is more environmentally friendly as it uses micro-fibre pads you can wash instead of throw away pads. One thing that bothers me about Sirena is the stair and upholstery tool. It should be a motorized unit instead of using a turbine.
This vacuum system is basically a fancy bong, I don't know why we didn't figure this out sooner, water is an awesome filter and anyone that has ever accidentally spilled bong water knows this.
😂
👍🏻 nice
I bought a strainer at the dollar store and dump all the hair etc. then throw that away in the trash
That seems to be the best way. 👍🏻
That's a great idea.
Ill stick with my Henry
I just got my Sirena yesterday and when I emptied the basin, it clogged my toilet.
I would recommend using a dedicated strainer that is used to strain pasta. All the hair and stuff the strainer catches then dump into the garbage. I dump mine out in my compost bin outside.
Throw the nasty water outside the home, do not put down the toilet.
Hahahha that's how much particles it picked up 🤣🤣
The one lady bought a strainer for that reason. I have an older rainbow and a strainer sounds like a good idea.
dose the filter smell like dog????
Don't dump it in your toilet. Ask any plumber why
I paid $756.00 for my vacuum... l need to talk to them....
1,000.00 not 2 or 3,000.00.
The rainbows are now 4k-5k $….
The Rainbow will last much longer then that system. The Rainbow will last 50 to 100 years if taken care of.
The money you pay for the Rainbow is well worth never buying another vacuum in your life and whoever gets it after you.
1200 Bucks Sucks
Che schifo
Believe it or not I've been "researching" vacuums for a few years now as a consumer for home. I've spent hours and hours on reviews watching and reading etc. I stumbled on the Sirena after I watched Performance Review Channel that started giving me names of brands I've NEVER heard before! So worth the mention, but I love that he puts SEBO and Miele on the top tier S level assessment. I went to look for SEBO dealers and went onto a wormhole of websites offering high end, high performance tools for home cleaning and to help manage allergies. Allergy Buyers Club led me to a water filter search on Aquagear, and randomly to Sirena! (Saving anyone else the time going down the 🐇 🕳)
Going to spend more time looking at your reviews. Enjoyed the comments giving real testimonials! 👌 allergies began plaguing us for a while, after my little one turned about 3 and we moved I tp a 100yr old house. I'd rather spend the $$ on cleaning environment than the time on Dr visits. Allergies are such a plague in the USA ...it should be avoided if possible at the very least at home, a safe space. Ooooo I just see you added essential oils! Yeeesss! I'm so glad you added that.
1 q: do the surfaces you clean remain wet? If so how long does it take for those surfaces to dry...each type respectively please. Ty (w the stellar service they have +10yr warranty, I'm sure they'll ans my qs but wanted tp ask from a user.)
The vacuum only uses the water as to filter out the debris that the vacuum picks up. It can act as a wet vac to vacuum up any liquid spills on the floor.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews so I've been using my Sirena and it's quite cumbersome! 😅 I've considered returning it because I'm not excited to use it every day. However, the water def tells you how gross the house is. It isn't for everyone and it isnt good for anyone with hand injuries etc. It def strains the wrist bc of how heavy (sturdy ofc and durable) the tube/extender attachments are. So smaller framed/petite folks might prefer for lighter more nimble vac/stick vac models.
I would really like to try the sirena cleaner,but the price is still a little much. Will you guys except payments or will I need to apply for a credit card. Or just save up untill I can afford it.
@@crystalemigh9253 if it's not affordable, consider a Henry.
I'd say depending on your build, if youre a tall strong person, it's a good buy.
Buy the recertified one. It's a grt concept but idk how practical it is for everyday use for folks who aren't as strong or have as much storage space. It sprawls out and you need a lot of strength in your fingers to push the lock buttons to release and change the vac heads out.
It's def effective and does a grt job but it's again, bulky and cumbersome and you need to clean parts well. The dirty water has to be sifted from the dirt anf hair that collects. I couldn't just dump it into the toilet or sink. So if you're someoen who isn't meticulous, you might be disappointed.
Also, we are not sellers. This isn't a sirena sellers page. Visit their website and call them.
Does it have a steamer function?
At this time it does not. That would be really great if it did though.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews not sure why they didn’t incorporate that in some how.!
