Rainbow - Rexair Vacuum Cleaner History
The Rainbow - Rexair history Starts back in the 1920’s. John W. Newcombe invented a machine called the Separator. This machine was designed to separate dust and other material from the air. In 1926, Leslie H. Green noticed the Separator and thought it could be applied for home use. Green and Newcombe joined forces and created the first bag free cleaner in 1927.
In 1929, Green formed the Rexair - Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner Corporation. Rexair means "King of the Air". In 1936, T. Russ Hill joined Rexair Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner Corporation and came up with the idea of incorporating water into the design to trap dust and dirt. The Rainbow vacuum cleaner has been using water to remove dust and dirt ever since.
