Overview of the Hoover RHAPSODY vacuum cleaner

The device was delivered in an elongated box made of corrugated cardboard. For convenient transportation there is a slotted handle. The design is bright, there is useful information for the user: characteristics, nozzles, features. The instruction in Russian. For packaging components used plastic bags and shaped inserts made of papier-mâché. Inside are the following details:

1. Engine compartment;
2. Extension tube;
3. Electric brush;
4. Parquet brush
5. Adapter;
6. Combined nozzle;
7. Power adapter;
8. Bracket and dowels;
9. Crevice nozzle;
10. Bag cover.

You will also find instructions and a warranty card.

The extension tube is made of aluminum, which indicates light weight. At the ends there are tips made of the same plastic as the nozzles. The length of the pipe is 70.9 cm. The handle of the motor block is supplemented with rubber on the outside, so it is convenient to hold it in your hand and does not slip.

The body of the motor block is made of mirror-smooth plastic. Like most nozzles, implemented in matt black and gray. Height, length, width of the engine compartment: 22.6 cm, 33.1 cm, 12.5 cm, respectively.

At the exit is a fiber filter. If necessary, it can be washed with running water, but at least 24 hours should pass before reinstalling. Dust box body is transparent, slightly toned. Nevertheless, it is possible to assess the degree of filling with garbage at a glance. To clean, just press the latch, after which the bottom leans down, and all the contents fall out. The container glass is removed by turning a small angle. For further disassembly, unscrew the cap, remove the mesh and cylinder.

In addition to a good configuration, the quality of the nozzles was pleasantly pleased. In my opinion, in the Hoover RHAPSODY review, an electric brush deserves special attention, which has a hinge that allows the input pipe to be deflected up to 90 ° up. Turn left and right about ± 40 °. Thanks to the protrusion, fixation is provided. That is, you can leave the vacuum cleaner in an upright position without leaning against a wall, etc. You will appreciate it during breaks during cleaning. The nozzle profile has a height of 8.4 cm.

The electric brush is equipped with 2 rows of bundles of soft and hard bristles. Additionally, there are 2 grooves on the shaft, which simplify the removal of wound debris. To remove the nozzle, the latch tab is used. On the sides there are elastic linings that prevent damage to the furniture. There are LEDs on the front that provide a white glow for cleaning in darkened remote areas. The electric brush is powered by the main unit. The width of the nozzle is 25.2 cm.

As additional nozzles, you can use crevice and combination brushes. The first is great for cleaning hard-to-reach spots. There is an adjustable whisk with bristles that can be moved forward / backward. For example, if you need a regular crevice nozzle, you can simply slide the bristles back.

Combined nozzle designed for cleaning furniture. Also equipped with removable bristles. With a frame it turns into a universal brush, and without it it effectively removes hair and wool from the soft upholstery of a sofa, armchairs, etc.

Also in this model of a wireless vacuum cleaner there is an allergen remover with silver ions. With this accessory you can create the most favorable climate in the house.

The Hoover RHAPSODY cordless vacuum cleaner is equipped with a lithium-ion replaceable battery, which takes 5 hours to fully charge. At the same time, his work lasts for 35 minutes of operation. As part of the first test, it was possible to remove 2 rooms, including inaccessible places and a kitchen set. In addition, the battery life was enough to clean the furniture upholstery, hard-to-reach spots, and I believe that another general cleaning will be possible before the next charge. To remove the battery, you need to slide the lock on the bottom side. The downside is that the battery is not equipped with a charging indicator, and the cable length is 1.5 meters. But, given that the connector is on the battery, it can be charged without removing it.

The first impression of the operation of the novelty was completely satisfied. Even before creating the Hoover RHAPSODY review, the dashboard caught my eye. And, indeed, it’s convenient to operate a button on the handle and two controllers on top. For turning the motor of the electric brush on and off, “Carpet” is responsible. The Turbo button allows you to activate maximum power. A 4-segment indicator is also installed, with which you can monitor the battery level. In a vertical modification, the model weighs about 3 kg. Without a tube with an electric brush, only 1.9 kg. Therefore, I did not feel much heaviness during the cleaning process.

The review of the Hoover RHAPSODY filtration system, perhaps, I will begin with the fact that it is two-stage. The air in the container swirls into a vortex. As a result, all the debris, including wool and hair, leans back to the walls, and slides down. Meanwhile, the cleaned air enters the center of the fan through a mesh. At the final stage, it is subjected to additional cleaning with a filter. Spilling out debris and dust after turning off the fan prevents the flap valve installed in front of the dust collector.

Please note that you should not wash the inner cylinder, because there is a ball bearing that can oxidize!

And so, at maximum power with an electric brush, I managed to clean an apartment of 30m² in 13 minutes. At the same time, the hand was not tired, and the body did not significantly heat up. Nozzles glide well, so there is no reason to worry that you will harm the floor.

At the same time, LED illumination, which illuminates in different directions, perfectly copes with the tasks set. I want to add in the Hoover RHAPSODY review that the 0.7 liter dust collector is very convenient.

To clear the container of debris, I just needed to open the lid with one click. And just look at the photo to evaluate the cleaning efficiency. The filter held up a maximum of fine fibers and dust. And the shaft of the electric brush wound a lot of hair.

As for the battery, the first time I could not figure out how much it lasts. But the consumption is only 0.6 watts. The noise level is not annoying even with a suction power of 30 watts.

In conclusion of the review of the RHAPSODY wireless vacuum cleaner I want to share my opinion. In my opinion, this product is a reasonable solution in terms of price / quality. A compact model that runs for 35 minutes on battery with 3 modes, an elongated handset and a good bundle is a smart choice. In addition, the manufacturer is reliable, and took care of the little things, right down to the bracket and bag. Also pleased with the quality of the electric brush and the backlight. As for the design features and the efficiency of the cyclone filter, there is nothing to complain about.

Thus, in vertical mode, the vacuum cleaner allows you to quickly and efficiently remove debris even from spacious floors. Other assembly options are suitable for hard-to-reach spots, removal of animal hair from furniture, clothes. Hoover RHAPSODY is also suitable for car interior cleaning. In general, the scope is large. The cyclone filter system is truly in accordance with the developers' statement, and is highly efficient with ease of use. The rotation of the mesh in the container at the same time enhances the quality of the dust collector. In the kit there are several small additional nozzles and one of them combined with a long pile, here it is completely useless, I think that these are trifles, in general I really liked the model and I was completely satisfied with the vacuum cleaner.
