Have taken ritello to the ACCC – Purchased April 2022 Machine has a 10 year warranty and no will respond to calls or emails about fixing or replacing our machine that has stopped working. Have now contacted the ACCC and consumer protection because it is beyond ridiculous to have NO ONE get back to us about this issue. AVOID RITELLO AT ALL COSTS. Show details
Non existant customer service – Impossible to contact anyone at the company. Product is virtually useless with a missing part. After 4 weeks of calls and filling out online forms, no one has got back to me. Avoid at all cost. Expected much more from such an expensive product Show details

My favourite cleaning toy – I have been using the machine for almost 5 years and it has been perfect thus far, my family has been huge beneficiaries of the health aspects that the ritello has brought to us. There were problems twice with the device but it got fixed within days so imo a great support office too ! I have recommended this to all my family members and close… Read more
friends and all of them love the machine too.
I have attached in the photo below the amount of dirt I pull out from my beds every few weeks. My wife thinks I might have a disorder but I actually feel very happy whenever I clean and the water looks like that!
In-depth reviews
The Ritello – Well, it's a great machine, well over priced but they target the hay fever, dust mites and what not to make you feel guilty about exposing your kids to these contaminants. Especially the dust mites poo levels your kids are breathing in whilst sleeping ... Here's my review. 1. It's bloody heavy compared to the Dyson, so if elderly, RSI, weak… Read more
limbs, 2 or more story's then you should look elsewhere. 2. Great for sucking up all that dog hair, but beware tipping that gloop down the sink will cause blockages eventually, so make sure to strain your sink before tipping it down. Another messy task. 3. Don't suck up anything that gets soggy, paper for instance. It sits in the bowl and you have to clean it out y hand. 4. Dysons are cheaper, lighter, do an awesome job of cleaning the carpets (No complaints from carpet cleaners coming to clean my carpets), plus suck up near on anything without the soggy dramas. 5. You could probably buy 4-5 Dyson's for this price, check out Rainbow see if they still sell their water based vacuum cleaner. Shop around. 6. This thing is loud, so if you have sensitive hearing, buy some earmuffs, you are going to need it.
Does do a great job cleaning, but most water based cleaners do too and I'm pretty sure for much less heftier price tag.
Also they charge 19.9% Interest you may want to read that in contracts.. pay it out straight away.
Awesome machine – About 2 years ago I bought the Ritello and must say, one of the best investments that I’ve made. I was completely sold on it after seeing what it got out of our beds and the air clean. We really experienced the health aspect of it after seeing dramatic improvements in our son from his dust allergies. We had to use the air clean in his room every… Read more
day and clean the bed every 2 weeks. The whole Idea of using the water as the air filter and catching all the dirt is brilliant because there are no filters to clean every so often and I have a few essential oils i love using which I put into the water and Im actually cleaning the air and not getting that stinky vacuum smell. The power in the Ritello is so much better compared to my old Dyson not only on my carpets but while I’m even vacuuming the tiles using the hard floor attachment. You can really tell its European made by the quality of it, the hose is much more durable compared to the Dyson, which is what I’ve been using for years. The cord is about 7 meters which is awesome for me because I can vacuum a lot quicker by not having always unplug and re plug every room. The payment plan for the Ritello is what made it possible for us to afford one and just made it so much easier because I can keep track on it every month with the app.
Thumbs up ! – I bought this 3 years ago when I was still in Perth because I saw how much dust and dirt the machine could pull from my air and bed. The amount of dirt it could pull from my carpets was incredible as well. We had a top range dyson and the consultant(can’t remember his name or if he’s still around) asked us to use the dyson to go over the same spot… Read more
50 times and he did it 3 times after but he still pulled out a thick lump of dirt. We didn’t believe and we thought there was some sort of a magic trick there so my husband did it again and that’s when we started believing. Ever since then we are firm followers of the ritello. Previously in Eastern Europe we seen the machine before but we were young and carefree with no kids so it wasn’t something we were excited about. But now that we have young ones of our own we know the importance of indoor health. Recently we moved to Melbourne for better job prospects and we had a problem with an attachment and we called the Perth office. We were scared that they won’t help us since we were so far away but they went over and above with their help for my family and that is why I’m writing this review, these bunch of people deserve it! The ones I have met and the lady on the phone line was so helpful that it actually made me want to help them in some way shape and form and I couldn’t think of any other way but a pleasant review(albeit 1 year late haha). We bought the machine when my husband just lost his job in Perth. We were worried about not being able to keep up with repayments but we felt we could make the repayments that’s why we decided to go for it. We got through the instalments a long time ago with no sweat. Not once did we regret this BIG purchase( probably the biggest ever purchase ) , money is not more important than health! Keep doing what you’re doing Ritello team , and we hope to see you in Melbourne soon! Loving the Ritello !
Positive reviews
Best investment i ever made – Previously I have spent 1000's and 1000's on other brands with bagless technologies that just didn't hit the spot. I was almost addicted to antihistamines also, now my family and myself breathe heaps easier. Show details
Perfect Product! No more dust in my house and no more snoring! – I have this four weeks now and i have'nt had to use the vacuumcleaner since. Everything is trapped inside the waterbassin. Had a terrible allergie to dust mites so my airpipes closed at night and i was a heavy snorer. That is al gone now. My wife is so happy!!! Show details
The perfect household item!! – We had a demo back in June 2019, new mattress and the dirt that came out was crazy. We use our Ritello once a week on all hard wood and carpet surfaces in our home... and ever second week on our mattress. Couldn’t recommend this product enough Show details
Negative reviews
No service in WA – I purchase Ritello R2 unit a few years back and the unit works great, we had a few issues with parts breaking but was replaced reasonably quickly. About two weeks ago the bowl started to leak water. I tried contacting Ritello in WA multiple times and all they said is they have some phone issues, but to date no solution to my problem, sad to say but the WA service is really letting the brand down.
Buy a rainbow SRX Instead – Rainbow E2 was the model that came out in 2012. this Ritelo R2 is the exact same model as the rainbows E2 rainbows manufacturer is Rex air and they came out with this technology. there is a new model out called the SRX and it trumps this model by far. The ritelo is also more expensive vs the rainbow SRX system. get a rainbow instead Show details
Keeps stopping all the time. Stops at least 5 times in 3 minutes while cleaning a mattress or a rug – The power brush keeps stopping multiple times. Complained a few times but no positive outcome. The water reservoir is also a bit rusted and have been told it’s a misuse. Only if they can advice how would I have misused the product to make a plastic piece rust. Can’t even use it apart from air purifier purpose Show details

Not worth the price you pay – We bought our vacuum in Oct 2022 and have had multiple issues. The retractable cord doesn’t always work right and after a couple weeks the motherboard went out. They fixed the motherboard. Now we’re having troubles with the vac not running properly for the air purifier part. Finally emailed the company and today got a new machine! It also is very… Read more
very heavy!!! Do not like that part. Wouldn’t buy another Ritello. We had a Rainbow for 10 years and never had a prob with it. Would recommend the Rainbow. Our next vac will be a Rainbow. Aside from all this it does a decent job of cleaning.
Perfect! – Was too worried about Covid 19 but the air sterilisation that the Ritello offers is invaluable. I sterilise my air every day, now I live with peace of mind. When my friend bought the machine at this price I thought she was crazy but now I can see why Show details
I am so glad I have the Ritello! – I got eczema and my partner has Sinus problem. I never imagine a cleaning machine can change my life so easy. I bought it around 6 months ago. Start cleaning my mattress every two weeks and my carpet once a week with the Ritello. I wasn’t quite use to it at first because I have one of those handheld vacuum at home. But after around 1 month of… Read more
using it, my skin rash gone down and my partner’s breath lots better and more importantly he stop snoring!! I am so glad and I purify the air all the time now to make sure he can breath properly! Highly recommend!
This vacuum cleaner is so good that one will feel lost without it – It could be expensive for most of us but when you find out that all the dirt sucked by the cleaner is trapped in the water and clean air is given out, the money spent is worth it. It cleans any surfaces. Recommend anyone to invest in it. Show details
Very good machine – This is a very good machine. It cleans the air we breathe and it gets rid of the pollution and cooking smells. It is very good at getting rid of dust mites and germs and bacteria Show details
Amazing machine! – I’ve had the Ritello for more than a year now and am as impressed now as I was when I first had a demonstration. It brought an awareness of how dirty the air was indoors which I now clean on a nightly basis, making my house feel fresh. I even add a few of my favourite essential oils to the water as well, which keeps the air clean and purified. How… Read more
the Ritello cleans the bed and carpet is extremely effective, especially seeing the water before and after the bed clean, taking up the dust mites and then the comparison to my Dyson with regard to how effective it cleaned the carpet. I love how it has no filters, only using water as the filter, catching all the dirt and eliminating the stinky vacuum smell. The Ritello is a great purchase worthy of every cent.
Glorious machine ! – Between my family and my extended family we have more than 5 machines. My mom, in laws, sister and my 2 sis in laws. That’s how much we love it and how willing we were to recommend it around the family !!! Show details
Amazing product! – I was sold after the demo. Love the clean air, clean mattress and clean house! It works on both carpet and hard floors. No more sinus infections! I have had the ritello now for about 8 months. Show details
Great for those with kids and pets – I have 2 young ones and dogs as well. This machine although priced on the pointy end has been an integral part of my household in the last few years. The machine has been great, the support team has been exceptional. I paid about 180/month on their interest free plans and if you can afford that without any difficulty , I’d highly recommend it. I’m always promoting the machine to others whenever the topic comes about. Show details

Absolute keeper – This cleaning system is a must have for the home and especially the carpets. Ripping up the carpets was an option we were exploring as we were finding it very difficult to keep it clean. And we also felt the carpets were contributing to the allergies at home and air feeling stuffy. But now that we go through the carpets with the R2, the carpets… Read more
look amazing and the air feels fresh. Highly recommend for people with allergies or children and of course home with carpets. :)
Great machine ! – Had it for more than 3 years and very satisfied with it so far. It has brought more awareness to me that my household was actually very polluted. It’s not a cheap machine but I decided to buy it because what’s the point of working hard and providing for my family but not be able willing to spend to improve their healths. Very good buy and I never ever regretted it Show details
Fantastic product – Really happy with the product. The water filter feature is great and clearly blocks out all dust particles from going back into the air. Jordan was very patient with us when he demonstrated the the product and was only too accommodating in answering our questions. I feel this is a really good buy and look forward to a healthier cleaner home. Show details
Great system my R2(D2) ;) – A very useful cleaning system that doubles up as an air purifier. The 7 different attachments that come with the system, pretty much covers every aspect of giving the home a proper clean. And i am not using the word proper here lightly as the R2 is a purification system that essentially means there isn't recycling of fine dust out the exhaust of… Read more
the system. That was the biggest problem with all VCs in my opinion. And the power brush looks after the mattresses really well and makes my carpets look brand new every time. I did however purchase an additional item the mini power brush at a later date, that works fantastically on smaller fabrics and car furnishings. With the Swiss manufacturing and warranty the system comes with i wouldn't hesitate to recommend this the everyone!
Awesome machine , We love it! Always getting a response in less than 24 hours and a helpful bunch of people too! – What a machine because it is better than vacuum cleaner . It cleans the airs. Both of my daughters allergies to dust and we just move in to older house with carpet. Before we bought the machine they ask ask to clean and vacuum our floor fist and then they used their machine on the same area which my wife and I pretty sure it clean, after seeing… Read more
the water colour and what inside the water , just open my eyes of what we breathing in every day. Thank you again. Awesome machine.
Clean air, cleaner carpet – We use this vacuum cleaner on our carpet and vinyl in our small day care center. It really cleans and leaves the air smelling fresh. It hands down works better than any vacuum cleaner we have ever used and the air cleaning is amazing, works better than the air purifier we had. It made all of the staff aware of what is actually on our floors and… Read more
has made us all aware of the need to really clean well. It doesn't tip over which is such a relief in comparison to others, this always slowed down the cleaning. The only issue we have had so far was the staff not putting the water bowl on straight and made it had to release. But that was fixed.
I love the Ritello!! Clean air, clean beds and a fantastic vaccum – No air pollution and great suction due to the vibrations in the power brush. Sturdy hose to easy moving with the wheels and the head maneuvers well too. Just change the water after vaccuming.. easy. Show details
It does the job but not sure how – Did not believe when at the Perth home show, ritello booth person told me. Surprised when the sales rep visited my house and despite cleaning same spot using Dyson, 12 times, ritello collected more dust in one swipe. I am happy with the products because of couple of reason. One is the air circulated after filtering it through water and hence… Read more
after vacuum cleaning, you don’t get that smell. Second is the powered hose which makes manoeuvring so easy and trust me it reaches more places than my other vacuums ever did. Third is the vibrations and flat vacuum head , not only vibrates but also circulate air in the close compartment to collect more dust.
Still it does not do air purifier like other commercial tools but if your vacuum cleaner can do it, then why not.
And yes it does make breathing easy..
Bertter than your home just looking clean – Only owned the product for a few months but am already experiencing huge improvements in my breathing and sleeping. Scary to see what’s actually hiding in our home and amazing to have a product that not only removes all the hidden dirt but can make you feel healthier just from cleaning your home differently Show details
The Ritello is very good – this is the first time i'm writing a review and i am doing this because my Ritello sales representative has been amazing so far, always coming to my place and helping with things even though he is not obliged to. i bought Ritello more than 2 years ago and i use it daily to sanitize and sterilize my air. i only switch it on for 3 minutes every… Read more
night for my bedroom and immediately i can feel the difference already. i am actually breathing alot better. i did question myself before whether it was just a placebo effect but after more than 2 years of using the machine daily i am 100% positive now it has indeed helped my health and not placebo.
i clean my beds every 6 weeks when i change my bedsheets but he is constantly advising me to do it every fortnight or at worst once a month. Every time i clean the bed the water is just disgusting and muddy looking and i actually feel so clean and healthy every time i see that! i also have a dog and a cat and it is very good in getting rid of their loose fur.
i highly recommend the ritello to every household. it is really a different technology altogether. All the old vacuums always caused my nose and sinus to flare up when i was vacuuming but i never have this problem anymore! Everybody who cares about their health and well being should own the Ritello!!!
