Russell Hobbs Cyclonic Extreme RHF206P

Waste of money – This Vacuum cleaner is so badly designed, cuts out after only a few minutes of operation and wont come back on, doesn't handle the most basic jobs. Don"t bother buying this model, I am taking mine to be recycled.  Show details

Cheap vacuum - Great apartment clean – My housemate was originally looking at getting a dyson. Considering the cost and the size of the apartment it was hard to justify so we looked at a number of other options. After finding the RH bagless on sale at Harris Scarfe we decided to try it and if it didn't meet our needs we would return it. Well.... we have been happily surprised by… Read more

the performance. A quick and easy cleaner of our carpeted apartment, no need to repeat areas. The noise is as you would expect with a vacuum. HEPA filter was a must and a great inclusion at this price point. The only issue is the emptying process but for $100 I am happy to compromise - it is not a nightmare but can be a dusty process.

Messy to empty and suction increasingly poor – This vacuum machine is very poor. It lost suction quickly after a few uses even though I emptied it frequently. With 2400 watts and the name cyclonic I expected far better lasting suction. It is messy to empty because of a conical filter inside the dust area that quickly clogs up and is difficult to take out. You have to grope into the bottom of… Read more

the dust area with your fingers to pull clotted dust and fibres out, exposing yourself to unhealthy dust. I will return to bagged vacuums in the future. This model (discontinued in Australia) should be removed from New Zealand stores asap.

Dirty Work – Compact, strong suction, problem is when emptying dust compartment you get extremely dirty. Be prepared if vacuum is bagless, you will have to empty it outside preferably wearing gloves. 3/10

BAD – What a waste of money! does not suck properly, makes a huge noise with no gutts to pick up dirt. Suddenly cut out on me. Will complain to customer service! Do not buy this vaccum if you have a larger house. Husband bought this for me....what more can i say.  Show details

Excellent product – I use the Russell Hobbs Hepa Cyclonic vacuum cleaner model RHF206P for two years every day, cleaning 3 bedroom apartment, wet and dry cleaning on vinyl flooring. All I wanted to say that, it is a great buy, never had any problems, excellent product. And now I just need to get replacement brush as I broke mine.

Retraction – As in the previous review I made on this model I would not recommend this product. Not able to complete my 1st review. But I have had time now to remove all parts to the machine and do a complete service on it. After putting it together it worked gloriously for 1 clean. I was elated. The next clean had no suction not even to pick up a pea, or some… Read more

paper I put on the floor. Seems like there is no seal on the unit. There is plenty of suction near the motor but hardly any through the suction hose. Where can I get an exploded view of the unit so I can work out what the problem is.

I wish to retract the above review. On the weekend gone, 22/11/2015 I took the machine apart, re-cleaned the filters

and set about putting it together again and re-tested- same problem- no suction. Then looked about the garage and found a missing filter- on the cooling system to the motor. Washed and dried it, clipped in in place and have been vacuuming happily ever since. Excellent suction, not too noisy a good product. I recommend it.

The worst Vaccum I owned – Purchased an Russell Hobbs Vaccum in November 2014, from Target store the worst purchase we havre made, the handle does not sit in the slot when storing, the suction is dreadful, I will never ever purchase any products from this manufacturer, I think they should stick to kettles.

Brilliant Vacuum – I purchased this with the thinking Russell Hobbs would not put his name to rubbish and I sure was right! This vacuum far exceeded my expectations.....incredible suction power and so easy to manage. Not sure what other reviewers are on about that claim it useless....it is brilliant!!!! I will certainly be recommending this vacuum to others looking for reliability and efficiency without spending a fortune. Thank you Russell Hobbs.
