How to Take Apart a Rainbow Power Nozzle

The Rainbow Power Nozzle is an aftermarket foot plate, wand and suction pipe manufactured by Rexair for domestic vacuum cleaners. The product helps improve the suction and dirt-removing capabilities of the vacuum cleaner, resulting in cleaner carpets and fresher upholstery. You might want to take apart the Rainbow Power Nozzle if you need to replace the belt, clean the brush or place the unit in long-term storage. The process should take you about 10 minutes.
