Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Pretty much the worst vacuum cleaner I've ever seen

 

This wireless vacuum cleaner was such a waste of money I am not surprised it has been discontinued. A gimmick that cost quite a bit of money only to end up being thrown in the rubbish. Next to useless on carpet. Approx 5m x 5m room, plus hallway....

I like it

 

It took a while to iron out the kinks, getting used to a new device. It does a good job considering it cleans up after 2 golden retrievers and 2 long haired cats. Bin requires emptying each use and the wheels and spinning parts require regular cleaning...

Rubbish!

 

Fine until the battery runs out which happens very quickly. Called the company and the Russell Hobbs customer service team were very rude/aggressive, refused to acknowledge the problem, wouldn't replace with a free battery and then when I asked about...

I got my vac using loyalty points. It sat in storage for about 6 months as we were renovating. When I started using the vac it worked ok... for a while. Then it just had a mind of its own! It's not rocket science using the remote, but silly me I...

Changing my review to 1 star

 

As I said in my Update 2: If you see one of these still being sold save your money. The first one suffered from the documented spiral of doom. The second RVac just died on me after 7 months. The left drive wheel became loose internally and disengaged...

Works great

 

I had some trouble with it getting stuck every time it went on to a rug or carpeted area. After reading someone elses comments, I did what they suggested and removed the rubber agitator from underneath. It works fine now and doesn't stop as much as it...

Frustrating constantly cleaning it to get it to work, works on hard floors only

 

Constantly needs cleaning to get it to work, brushes get tangled and won't work on carpet. It is quicker to get out the dyson and do the job properly. The slightest bit of fluff or hair on the rollers and it just cuts out the unit needs constantly...

Not as good as roomba

 

beeping and a dusty floor. Every time I emptied the bin and cleaned the brushes, the little knob at the end of the brushes would fall off and roll away, and the bin was a two handed empty unlike roomba's simple slide out bin. pay the extra if you can...
