Verdict

The Russell Hobbs RHCHS2001 Edge is a 3-in-1 corded bagless stick vacuum cleaner featuring a 450W motor, a 0.48-litre quick-release dust tank, a 5-metre power cord, and an adjustable telescopic tube that generates a 71 dB noise level. Weighing only 1.9 kg with dimensions of 109 cm x 25 cm x 24.5 cm, its primary advantages include an ultra-lightweight profile, a low-profile floorhead ideal for hard floors, and a versatile multi-tool with a crevice brush and upholstery tool that effortlessly converts it into a handheld unit. However, its main disadvantages are that its suction power can struggle with larger debris or deep carpet cleaning, and it lacks a mechanical cable-rewind mechanism, making cord management difficult.
