Third-party reviews

What customers like about Hoover RA22SE 011

  • Lightweight and highly manoeuvrable, making it effortless to carry around the home
  • Excellent versatility with a wide range of useful attachments included for different surfaces and hard-to-reach areas
  • Cordless design offers great freedom of movement without the hassle of cables
  • Good suction power for day-to-day dust, pet hair, and crumb pick-up
  • Easy to empty the dust container quickly with a simple push-button mechanism

What customers don't like about Hoover RA22SE 011

  • Battery life can fall short of the advertised time on higher suction settings, requiring frequent recharges
  • The dust capacity is relatively small, meaning the bin requires frequent emptying during larger cleaning tasks
  • Can be prone to suctioning too strongly to certain rug or carpet types, making pushing the floorhead difficult
  • Long-term durability and charger reliability have been criticised by some users

Verdict

The Hoover Rhapsody RA22SE 011 is a cordless, 2-in-1 stick and handheld bagless vacuum cleaner featuring a 22V lithium-ion battery, an innovative HSpin-Core dust separation system, a 0.7-litre capacity bin, and a motorized brush bar with integrated LED headlights. Main pros include a lightweight 2.5 kg design, versatile continuous power trigger options, an LED battery level display, and an extended 70-minute total runtime provided by its two included swappable batteries (35 minutes each). However, notable cons include a relatively long battery recharging time of 5 hours and a loud maximum noise level reaching up to 85 decibels during use.
