Russell Hobbs Centaur 2 in 1 Cordless, Bagless Stick Vacuum, 800W, 2 Speed Settings, 60-Min Run Time, for Carpets & Hard Floors with Crevice & Brush Tool, 2 Year Guarantee in Grey & Blue RHSV2211

Only just bought this, so only used it twice, but so far so good. It's very powerful, suction is great. It's lightweight and I love the lights on the front. The little dust holder is very easy to remove and empty too. I also like the fact that it stands up on its own, and that the handle folds down for easier storage under the stairs. It is very good value for money. I have had one of these Hoovers before, a good few years ago, it lasted years, but then decided on a change, for whatever reason I'm not sure, but unfortunately that change was a Morphy Richards and didn't last as long, so now I'm back with a Russell Hobbs again. I'm nearly 77, so hopefully won't need to buy another one in my lifetime. Here's hoping it lasts as long as the first one.

Handy cordless vacuum that works well for quick cleanups. Good suction power and the bagless design makes it easy to empty. Battery life is decent for small to medium jobs. Lightweight and easy to maneuver.

Very pleased with this purchase, very lightweight and picks up well, with good battery life. Handle collapses down, so doesn’t take up much storage space. My only criticism is that it doesn’t get right to the edges, but that’s easily sorted. I usually buy the more expensive brands - Dyson and G Tech, but so far I’m impressed with this great value for money little cleaner!

Brilliant vacuum. Absolutely love it. Great suction and just so handy to have in the house. Love the fact you can use it as a hand held vacuum as well. Easy to clean out as well. Takes a couple of minutes to empty and give the filter a quick brush. Love the fact that the dust collection is in the middle of the handle as I find the other type (dust collector at the top of the handle) quite difficult to use. I think they’re so easy to drop the handle with them being ‘top heavy’. Charging is easy - plug it in and just leave it. Charging lights flash on the front so you know when it’s fully charged. 2 settings on suction. Very stable when stood. Stays upright. Absolutely brilliant. Would def buy again and again. 10 out of 10!!

Good easy to use for daily tasks. Good suction. Lightning is very useful. Value of money.

Fairly effective considering the small size, weight and power. Very easy to push around, carry up and down stairs and fairly easy to swap to hand-held operation. Gimmicky lights on the front shine in your eyes instead of forwards to under furniture as intended, and in any case the vacuum cleaner doesn't pick stuff up unless the suction part and brushes can actually get on top of it, so you have to swap to the hand-held nozzle to get close to walls, furnitures etc. Emptying is required after every use as the container is only 300ml, but also because all fluff sticks to the filter and blocks it while the container is not even a quarter full; this can't just be tapped out, you have to get a brush and vigorously remove it. On the good side there is only one part to remove, but on the other hand that part has the filter integrated into a chunk of plastic, so when it needs replacing there will be an added cost - and the last three months the manufacturers have not even had the filters in stock and can give me no information about when it might be available, how much it might cost and how often I might expect to have to change it. Battery charging is quick and easy and I can't imagine ever wanting the hassle of a corded machine again. *Update November 2024* I have changed my rating from 3 to 1 star due to two additional factors. (1) After visits from long-haired friedns I have ascertained that the device does not pick up hair - or, to be exact it picks up hair by wrapping it tightly around the front brush until the vacuum can no longer pick any dirt up, and it's then difficult and time consuming to remove that hair (my best method is with tweezers). So not recommended if you have lovely long locks in the household or a retriever-type dog! (2), ultimately the deal breaker in the long term, is that after 6 months' wait there are still no replacement filters available from Russell Hobbs (supposed to be renewed every 6 months) and I have now discovered that RH do not even manufacture either the cleaner or the spare parts. They merely make their money by adding their brand name to an unknown Chinese company's products! So it's impossible to make either company responsible for malfunction etc. Probably the guarantee is as worthless as the customer support. I fear that all these 5 star reviews from people who have only owned the cleaner for a couple of weeks are short-sighted. Within 12 months we will all be trying to return our vacuum cleaners which by then will be useless, all for the lack of a little bit of plastic and mesh.

Very lightweight which I need, but not as effective as a cylinder cleaner. Great for a quick run through regularly but doesn't like larger bits of debris or build ups of dust. Not keen on the handheld side as it doesn't get into corners, eg on stairs. Very useful on my less mobile days, especially if I'm taking it upstairs.

Ok, full disclosure, I always buy cheap vacuum cleaners, so I can’t compare this to the more expensive brands. I can judge this nifty hoover on it’s own merits. First off I’m a full-time carer so I’m always cleaning up mess. When you’re exhausted, however, the last thing you want to do is plug in the hoover and cart it around. This vacuum appealed to me because it takes the hassle out of hoovering. It’s lightweight, can transform quickly into a handheld cleaner and most importantly, it’s cordless. In this instance the manufacturers claims are justified. The charge gives you around 55 minutes of cleaning which is enough for me to do the whole house. It is in no way cumbersome and easy to manoeuvre. Lightweight enough for vacuuming not to feel like a chore and works well on both carpet and hard floors, although the performance is slightly better on carpet. I’ve cleaned the stairs with the handheld part of the vacuum and was amazed at the debris it picked up. You do have to empty it frequently but that’s easy to do. The filter is easy to clean with a bit of water and left to dry but I can’t find extra filters for sale anywhere. Hopefully this won’t be needed. Then there’s the suction, which is impressive, although slightly better on larger pieces of debris. This is no big deal however, as the cleaning power of this vacuum is still excellent. One more thing: register your warranty online - there is a leaflet inside the product box telling you how. This will give you an extra year’s coverage, just in case anything goes wrong with your vacuum cleaner. It’s good for the environment and good for your pocket! The extended warranty and the performance of the cleaner makes this a great value buy.
