Russell Hobbs Cyclonic Extreme RHF208P

Hated it – Too bulky and it started to slowly fall apart after a year of use. Was under warranty so had to get refunded. It has decent suction and was easy to empty but that wasn't enough to make up for it breaking and how wide it is. Was really hard to manoeuvre around my small house. Never again, sorry!  Show details

This is not good to try – Using vacuum with bag than decided to bagless vacuum...it is good no bag then when vacum start like plane leaving...suctioning is not really good it is do job but noisy..it is light and easy to clean when finish the job... There are 2 pieces carpet but not enough and good clean so far  Show details

Pretty good – The performance has been consistent and suction is strong, you can adjust it to whichever level you want, however it's quite loud so I don't recommend using it during nighttime. Maneurverability is quite good with its flexible head and I would recommend using it on carpets and hard flooring. Great product. Awesome.  Show details

Great easy man friendly – easy to use and it picks up everything even the mess left by my grandson. Does lose some suction at about the halfway full but leaves the house clean enough that the wife does not complain. Does not eject dust like my old cleaner, be aware you must be upwind when emptying the unit.  Show details

Great for the price but – Bought this Bagless Vacuum Cleaner from Target Store in Camberwell. Works great for the price (2 year Warranty)...but it looses its power of suction too soon as it starts to fill up the barrel with floor dirt, is very heavy, on max speed is very noisy, and is cumbersome to lift and being very large, therefore difficult to Store in a small cub… Read more ·  4

board...

It works great on both rugs and wooden floors in my home...You have to empty the bagless container in the open, as it is a dirty messy business, also you need to empty and clean the filter after each use otherwise there is little suckson.

It is as the saying goes"you get what you pay for"

and at $199.00 instead of $400.00 plus for a Dyson.

My next vacuum cleaner will definitely be a Dyson!.

I would buy and recommend buying from Target Stores as a place you can trust, however I cannot recommend the item to buy. Very disappointing from a Russell Hobbs product as their other products I have and found to be good quality and reasonably priced.

March 28th 2017 Update: Tested and now works great

I already lodged a Review of this Bagless Vacuum Cleaner in February 2017.

Initial shock on first use, and finding it is very heavy, difficult to pull around, loss of suction as barrel fills, difficult to pull apart to clean and then replace for next use.

Since purchase on 26/11/2016 I have now used the vacuum cleaner many times.

I can now re assess my Review:

Barrel requires emptying after each use,

Clean outdoors as the cleaning process is a dirty and messy job,

I use a paint brush to thoroughly clean all filters,

It is essential to be patient with reassembly of the barrel,

The vacuum cleaner works great on my wood and rugs on my floors.

Conclusions:

The vacuum cleaner works great at a price of $199.00 from Target Store in Camberwell Melbourne Victoria Australia.

I have not found any problem with breakage of parts.

I can recommend the Vacuum cleaner to anyone who wants a vacuum cleaner at a reasonable price.

I loved it for the first month then things started to break the twist knob to clean filter broken – I used every day on carpet and Lino. Had no pets, so wasn't working hard. Just cheap parts :-( I won't recommend, to friends as it was a waste of money $200 didn't even get a year out of it, loved the colour. But that's all I loved !!!! Cheap parts are broken easily.  Show details

Good price – Great value for money. Looked at expensive vacums befor i brought this one. I like russell hobbs products so thought it would be ok. Its not as light as some other vacums . I have a dog,so i have fur every where. My floors are tiled and carpet , it woorks well on both.  Show details

This is crap – I am very unhappy with this vacumn. Its poor cyclonic design constantly gets blocked. After cleaning the filter and empty the hard to get out bits i swept the carpet first then had another go. It blocked again. 5 frustrating goes to clean my small lounge. Its useless at its job! Definitly not recomended.  Show details

Absolute beauty of a vacuum! – So happy with this product! It has the best suction and near pulls up my lino! I have tried so many in the past few years but this by far is my favourite hands down! Can't fault a thing! Highly recommend this product! You will not be disappointed! Worth the money!  Show details

had.bought a vacum from aldi and had it 3 years amazing no loss of sucktion works amazimg parts dont fall apart. So thanks for nothing Russell hobs crap vacums

So unreliable – We have had two of these Cyclonic models and both turned out to be unreliable. Both appeared to develop the same fault in that they would cut out after a few minutes use. You could wait an hour for the motor to cool down and then it would start and run for a bit before cutting out. The dirt container was also very fiddly to clean.

Pleasant surprise – This vacuum exceeded my expectations. It is very quiet with powerful suction. It is also light and easy to use. I have had it for one month and use it on slate floors and carpets over an average 3-bed house. I've never enjoyed vacuuming but this one is actually nice to use.
