(aka “That One Vacuum That Made My Mom Cry Happy Tears” — and yep, this is one of those Rainbow vacuum reviews you’ll actually want to read.)
Let me start with something weirdly specific.
You know that smell when you vacuum up cat hair and old cereal at the same time? Like… warm dust with a hint of regret? Yeah. That’s the exact smell that used to hit me every Saturday morning at my mom’s place. She’d be blasting a 90s playlist, vacuum in one hand, iced coffee in the other, and swearing under her breath about “these damn filters” that never quite did the job.
Then one day—this part still makes me laugh—she calls me like it’s breaking news. “Sweetie, I got the Rainbow.”
Now, this is the same woman who’s been using the same blender since I was five, so for her to splurge on a cleaning system? I knew something was up.
So I visited. And the first thing I noticed? The air. It didn’t smell like pets or feet or stale coffee. It just… smelled like nothing. Like neutral, purified, barely-there air. And my mom, who used to wheeze her way through spring, hadn’t sneezed once that week.
And this? This is the kind of story we keep hearing from folks who’ve bought a Rainbow® system through J&M Distributing.
Real People, Real Messes, Real Clean!
So here’s the thing. Most of us don’t realize how dirty our air is until it’s not dirty anymore. Like, unless you’re walking through a cloud of smoke or something, who thinks about indoor air quality?
But people who live with pets, allergies, kids, or honestly just life—they notice. That’s why we started asking them: what changed after the Rainbow®? And oh man, did the stories come flooding in.
Like Mark, who has three golden retrievers in his house…
His words, not mine: “I used to think my carpet was beige. Turns out it was just a layer of dog fuzz.” Now? One pass with the Rainbow and you’d think he replaced the rugs.
Or Sarah, who—bless her—used to vacuum in a full-on allergy mask. Now she uses the Rainbow® with a smile. “It’s weird,” she told us, “but I feel like I can actually breathe in my own home again.”
Okay But What Is It, Though?
If you’re still reading and wondering, “Wait, what even makes this thing different from a regular vacuum?”… good question.
The short version? It doesn’t blow gross dust particles back into the air like traditional vacuums. Instead, it uses water to trap the nasties—like a mini indoor thunderstorm that just quietly clears everything out while you hum along to Fleetwood Mac or whatever.
And the kicker? It doubles as an air purifier. Yup. Just let it run, maybe toss in some essential oil drops, and boom—your living room smells less like gym socks and more like a spa in the woods.

Not Just for Pet Hair (Though It’s AMAZING for That as Well)
What I love about the Rainbow system is that people keep finding new ways to use it. One guy told us he cleaned his mattress with it and nearly cried. Another uses it for curtains. Someone even vacuumed their blinds. Their blinds, people.
The accessories? Game-changers. Especially for small spaces. Check out the full lineup here. There’s a reason we joke that it’s the Swiss Army knife of cleaning gear.
So, Why Does This Really Matter?
Because, listen—cleaning isn’t just about dust bunnies. It’s about air quality you can trust (yep, the EPA has a whole section on it), homes that don’t trigger migraines, and finally, finally getting ahead of the mess instead of constantly chasing it. And when a product genuinely makes people emotional (yes, my mom cried—like, happy cried), you start paying attention.
Your Turn Now…
If you’ve been wondering whether all the hype around Rainbow® is real… it is. And if you’ve got a story of your own, we’d love to hear it. Seriously. We’re building a little collection of customer tales, and yours could help someone else decide it’s time to breathe easier too.
Ready to find out what the clean fuss is about? Schedule your demo. Or just poke around the website a bit. No pressure. We’re just happy you’re here.
But tell me—what’s your version of “that smell” you never realized was bothering you… until it was gone?
