Quantum X Vacuum Review

[@beatricecarroll9373]

Thank you for the insightful review. Since you can’t test or touch products before purchasing anymore, reviews like yours are greatly appreciated for buyers like me. Thank you again!

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Thanks for the nice comment. It really does a good job of cleaning.

[@kellybarrick1720]

Love love love your review! I ordered my Quantum X yesterday! Im living vicariously through videos such as yours until I receive mine! I cant wait! You did a great job reviewing this vaccum! Thank you for sharing with all of us! Happy Holidays to you! 😊

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I’m sure you’ll love your Quantum. Thanks for the nice comment!

[@VeronicasReviews]

Hi... Just wondering how has this vacuum been working for U? N where can I order one in rose gold? Amazon just has blue, red, and black.

[@vj6164]

How are you liking the vacuum a year later?

[@kellybarrick1720]

@@vj6164 Still in love, it runs like new, just perfect!!

[@yvonneblache1515]

Great presentation, the FACT that you had the (2) vacuums to prove the ultimate difference was key!! I got mine yesterday and used it right away, I was horrified to see what I'm living with. Yes great Presentation.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Thanks for the kind words, and I also was horrified of how much dirt was in my carpet when first using the quantum X.

[@adriajanni5822]

Great review! Thank you. I was on the edge. But you have convinced me to purchase it.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I think you will really love it. Wait to you see how much dirt it pulls out when you first get it.

[@kimgreene9241]

I’ve been through almost the same vacuums lol. I’m purchasing a Quantum X today. Thank You for your review!

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I think you’ll be very pleased with the Quantum and its ease of use. Mine still working great!

[@conniescreations1633]

May we please get an update on this vac. To see how you feel about it today 6 months later please. Thank you

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Still really like the Quantum X. It is easy to use very easy to clean and really does a great job on all floor types. Wet pick up works great as well. So after 6 months I still really love my Quantum X. After using canister type water trap vacuums for years this gives me water technology in a all around easy vacuum to use. Hope this helps.

[@JoanePappasWhite]

I appreciate the update because there are many reviews complaining of problems within a few weeks of getting them.

[@conniescreations1633]

I purchased and like but cons hard to clean canister filter area and brush is hard to remove hair would have to disassemble to remove roller this sucks not easy to remove. Tips on cleaning canister filter please share thanks or roller

What planet are these vaccums from and thank you for whoever brought them here

[@Cleaning_Hero]

I sold rainbows over ten years ago. I thought they were the best until I saw a test where flour was poured beneath carpet on concrete. The Rainbow was unable to pull hardly any of the flour up through the carpet. It was very disappointing because the concept is so ingenious but alas, has many inherent flaws. Also, the airflow at the unit (where hose attaches) was somewhat high (80ish CFM) but at the power nozzle was under 20cfm. This means that it only pulled out the dirt in the carpet fibers but nothing beneath the carpet. It is because the air path is to long. By the time the airflow is measured at the carpet it has dropped speed significantly through the hose and wands. Also, if you ever do try a dry-unit again, make sure you get a sealed system. A sealed system is just as important as having a HEPA filter. I use a Kirby these days. It does remove all of the flour from beneath the carpet in the same test the Rainbow was put through. And even if the bag clogs up, the fan generating all the airflow is pushing the air into the filter, not pulling the air through the filter (the bag) so it’s really not a relevant issue in the Kirby’s design. The fan is inches from the carpet so even with a full bag, it maintains 80% to 90% of it’s air flow. Still though, this Quantum vac is a neat design. I wish Vacuum Wars would do the same test with the flour he did used on the Rainbow and Kirby. This might be worth it since it doesn’t suffer from the long air path like it’s canister competitors. Also, a tip - you may need to ad water to it every 20-30 mins. We still use our Rainbow as an air cleaner and the Water evaporated to the point that a lot of the air was not being forced into the water which defeats the purpose. I have to ad water every 30 mins or so. It makes a great air purifier especially amongst the covid 19 pandemic. We add an air sanitizing chemical to the water to kill germs in the air and you could probably add it to your Quantum as well. It’s a Rainbow product. Check out Goodvac.com under rainbow chemicals. It’s the green deoderizer. It’s a full cap full per 2 qts so a half cap full in your Quantum X. Sorry for such a long rant. Just my two cents plus some.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Very informative thank you so much for sharing this it is quite helpful. I do really feel the Rainbow has priced itself to high for most consumers to justify. I agree the rainbow is a fantastic air cleaner. I also find the quantum x really has strong air flow right at the floor where it is most important.

[@carolh3209]

Am I listening to Bob Ross?? Instead of painting happy things he's reviewing a happy vacuum..good review! 😊

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Thank you very much!

[@cpgde]

I hope you have better luck with yours than I did with mine. I had mine for 10 months and have had to have the entire unit 3 times, the power head once and the body once. When the Quantum x works it’s great! I had my Rainbow for 15 years no problems. I have had my Shark for 6 years, no problems. The Shark is still the one I use when the Quantum is not working. I would not recommend this machine to anyone. I will be looking at going back to the Rainbow.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Hopefully things keep going like they are so far no issues but haven’t had mine very long. My Rainbow even as old as it was worked great up to the end when finally the motor went out. Guess time will tell I’ll post a update after using my quantum for a good while. Thanks for taking the time to post a response.

[@cpgde]

Update: Received yet another new body for my Quantum X yesterday. Today I vacuumed 3 bedrooms and it quit working!

[@katrinataylor6604]

@@cpgde Oh no this makes sad thank you so you basically saying not worth buying

[@behindcloseddoorsministries]

I was thinking about buying one you sold me thanks a bunch.🤗My son has severe allergies and I have a pet Chihuahua named Peaches blessings to you!🌸One question I have for you is can I use plain local water or does it have to be filtered or distilled water?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I think you’ll really love your Quantum X. As for the water just regular tap water works perfect. Let me know how you like yours when you receive yours and give it a try. Thanks for watching I really appreciate your kind words.

[@behindcloseddoorsministries]

@@MiamiCOIndiana awww thank you you are welcome and I appreciate your video and quick response. I did order it after watching your video and it was the same price but it didn't allow me to choose the color that I wanted so I emailed them but probably won't hear back until Tuesday. Be blessed!😊

[@nydiajohnson8437]

Thank you for your video. We have owned Shark vacuums for the last 15 years. we have gone through 3. they have been damaged by my cats chewing the cord(unplugged-still have my kitties). The latest was an Apex Duo clean which we loved. My daughter who has Downs loves to vacuum but isn't careful about what she vacuums and so I have spent many moments removing socks, t.p. rolls, wadded tape by using a hanger for hose clogs. other clogs are more readily cleaned with the removable parts of the head or connections. This one bit the dust when she vacuumed water with it. Would the Quantum be easy to unclog? how is it with stairs?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I've never had a clog yet. I don't have carpets on stairs however using the hose and floor attachment I would think it would work well on stairs. Thanks for watching

[@magical.melody674]

I was gonna get a shark up light. But now I want this . I have a shark apex but I might actually sell that to get this. That’s how bad I want it. Our carpets in this house are awful! They attract so much dirt and dust. I empty 3 tanks of black water every time I use my scrubber.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I think you would love this vacuum does a great job of removing deep down dirt grit and sand. You'll be surprised just how much gritty sand comes out of your carpets with this machine

[@juliebryant7780]

Don’t get a Shark it’s terrible. Spits dirt everywhere

[@freddyjason3142]

If that was a Dyson Ball multi floor 2 you would’ve saw way more dirt then that with 250 AW or the Dyson Ball Origin with 270 AW or the animal 2 with 306 AW suction power, but I must admit that vacuum is pretty cool with all the lights and to be able to pick up water. I like it very much👍

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Thanks for watching and yes it does great picking up any wet spills.

[@Tinystepmilestones]

Awesome review, I just purchased one arriving soon. Quick question, what makes a vacuum “upright”?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Mainly 2 types of vacuums upright meaning it stands up and is mainly self contained and canister or tank that you pull along as you go and have a long hose and power nozzle to sweep with. You’ll love the quantum x easy to use and works fantastic. Thanks for watching

[@theconfidentnovice5789]

RIP to your Rainbow. While I still want a Rainbow, I will get this until I can get the Rainbow.

[@angelica9566]

lol 😂 the old vacuum looks like embarrassed of itself every time you turn your camera to on it.

[@lancettekoerner7228]

Thank you for the review. My 32 year old Rainbow just died. The Rainbow is a tough act to follow! Please tell me how is the Quantumx holding up now 7 months later? Have you jad anything break? I want water filtration and I love the upright concept and of course the price point is awesome but is it holding up?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Still holding up fine no issues as of yet. It's so much easier to use than a canister and power (air flow) seems just as good.

[@auberjean6873]

Great review, MiamiCOIndiana! I'd love to get a new Rainbow, but the cost is prohibitive. I like how thorough you were describing why you like this upright and everything included with it. It looks a lot easier to use than a heavy canister! One question: Do you dump the dirty water in the toilet or toss it outside? You have a marvelous speaking voice and I await more reviews.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Thanks for the nice comment. And I do always dump the water outside did the same when I used my rainbow also.

[@auberjean6873]

MiamiCOIndiana, you're welcome. Did you consider their canister model?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I actually always preferred using a upright since I find them easier to use not to mention lots less to store. So I was excited finding this one with both water filtration and upright. I’ve heard good things on their canister model but can’t say never used one. I just used my quantum x today and love how easy it is to use. No more dragging heavy canisters, hoses all around just grab my quantum out of the closed put water in it and start cleaning.

[@auberjean6873]

@@MiamiCOIndiana--You helped me make up my mind! It *does* sound much easier to empty a smaller tank and not drag anything heavy behind! You ought to get a cut of the commission!

Glad I was of some help let me know how you like it when you get yours.

[@peytonmcpherson2328]

I’m really surprised rainbow hasn’t made an upright vacuum

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

real life 5 so far in really love my quantum x

[@makulitzky]

I owned a rainbow since 1995 and still working.. I know exactly how it works since I was a dealer.. it uses a rotating separator to extracts the air from the water.. I wonder what technology quantum x vacuum is using to separate the air from the water.. I’m kind of interested

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

The Quantum X also uses a air/water separator.

[@23syim]

How do you clean the vacuum cleaner? Or would u need to clean it? With my dirt devil I’d have to take apart the headpiece using a screw driver then take off the roller brush along with the belt and then cut at all the hair that got stuck in the roller brush (my hair is long and thick) all before packing it back up in order for it to clean optimally. Do you think that would be something I’d have to do with this vacuum?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I clean the water tank with just warm water. The water air separator only needs cleaned occasionally which is one screw to get it off and washed with warm soapy water and a brush. As for the roller brush I have never had much of a build up at all besides some carpet threads that I simply was able to pull off the roller. And best part is there are no filters to wash or clean with the Quantum X. Hope this is helpful.

[@alexandrarussell-gregory846]

I can't find this online anywhere! Anyone know where I can purchase this?

[@jennifermiles8085]

Check Amazon

[@jennifervandenberg1364]

So, how is it holding up? Any issues yet? I’m looking at getting one of these. I have a rainbow but hate pulling it around

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I got mine in January so have used it for 6 months now. I use it twice a week. So far no issues works the same as the day I bought it. Will also add cleaning the water tank is a breeze easier I think than the Rainbow tank I had.

[@robertabutler1163]

how would this do with excessive pet hair? I have 5 dogs and I am worried it might smell like mildew after a couple of uses

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Roberta Butler As long as you rinse out water basin and dry it out with either paper towels or micro fiber cloth should have no mildew build up. I always rinse out the basin and dry it after every use. Also leave the water basin OFF the machine until the next use to assure it gets completely dry. Hope this helps.

[@7171schocker]

How loud is it in comparison to other vacuums, like the upright you have?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

A bit louder but not horrific. It definitely has a much more powerful motor than most uprights I've used with strong never ending air flow. So far very happy with it.

[@jjjoysweet2160]

Can you use on wood/tile,or only carpet. Thanks

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

You can use as is on all floor surfaces. However if you have mainly all wood/tile floors I would recommend getting the optional floor attachment.

[@corinnelavallee7039]

I just got mine and it has so much air blowing out the front it blows my curtains up thats not good it is blowing dust in the air. Is this normal? Also how do you take the seperator off I did remove the nut but the basket thingy won't come off I do not want to break it? Thanks for any help ... Im thinking about returning this thing

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

It does blow out hard because it intakes air hard. Try not pointing the exhaust towards things like curtains. Also you can clean curtains and remove dust out of them with your quantum x. As far as the separator after unscrewing and removing the nut, a gentle back and forth motion while pulling should release it quite easily, at least it does on my unit. Hope this is helpful.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

Corinne Lavallee you said it’s blowing out dust or was that a question? If it’s blowing out dust the only way that would be possible is if you didn’t put water in the water tank. OR, you vacuumed up so much dirt that it became mud-like and due to that, lost it’s ability to capture dust.

[@maryelizabethashley6434]

Have you had any water leaks with it while vacuuming

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Nope no water leaks at all. You got to make sure you don’t overfill the water basin but it is clearly marked max water line.

[@queenofthebronx]

Good question!

[@paigelombardi12083]

He Is not a loud vacuum

[@Janet8925]

I have the quantum canister vac and I hate having to dump the water! Dirty nasty hair and everything else! I have been dumping it outside! Running out of space! With dog hair people hair and dirt and dust it is terrible! If I would have dumped it down the toilet the whole septic system would have been stopped up! Its so much hair and yuk!! I just don't know where to dump it anymore!

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Get you a splatter screen like the ones you put over a fry pan on the stove only just use this for your vacuum water. Get a big enough bucket to put the splatter screen over the bucket and pour out your dirty water thru the screen into the bucket. The screen will catch most all the hair lent and dirt. Then just lift the screen over to the trash and throw it away. The water then is safe to be flushed in a toilet, or you can take outside with almost all the debris gone just mostly liquid dirty water to dispose of. Hope this helps.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

You can also buy a kitchen sink drain screen at Walmart that will catch all of the solid particles. Pour the water through it and then tap the screen over the trash to trash the solid particles and dirt. Then you can put it in the dish washer on high heat if you want it sanitized.

[@pdcarter4598]

Ok I feel your pain on this! I have 13 cats and one dog. I like the suggestion of using the splatter screen method, but maybe set up a larger system using window screen.

[@donnas2375]

I like using a rounded screen colander that can fit a bit more recessed in your bucket; it also has hooks on the sides

[@titaniumwolf1123]

This thing smells like rotten eggs no mater what I do and doesnt pick up crap. Huge waste

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I have no bad smells at all and it cleans good not sure what might be your issue?

[@nancydrew50]

How can this FAR exceed your expectations when you used it for less than 2 minutes out of the box? I’d tend to believe this more IF you owned it for a week or better a month, and gave pros and cons. Even the best vacuum cleaners have cons.....this one weighs 19 pounds for instances. That’s a BIG con for many! I had a rainbow for years. Loved it. As you said, your rainbow lasted 40 years? We have NO idea how long this will last as you never covered the quality of the vacuum or the parts. Ex. Those hoses, look a little cheesy. How long is it warranted? How much to ship back if we don’t like it ( I read it can cost as much as $ 88 to return? Why didn’t you show us all the features? It supposedly is great for picking up wet stains like wine, or even ketchup using hot water ( poured on the stain) and the fabric nozzle. And remember, MANY have no idea why water is better! Why not show how you can actually dust many types of items with a water filtration system using the brush attachment. If you plan to continue reviews you need to learn to use a video that allows you to film, stop, film, stop so your viewers can see a long time period. Again 2 minutes just doesn’t help me at all. Also it sounds VERY loud!!! Is it more or less than your Bissel? These are things I need to know before I will buy something online, especially if it’s going to cost a fortune to mail back!

[@abigailcruz4155]

I believe this is a year old video. He has since commented on how well it is still working since then. This is his own personal video n opinion not an ad from quantum. Lol.
