The Hoover Rhapsody RA22AFG 019 upright vacuum cleaner, unlike most wireless devices, has a vertical parking, with the motor located on top. For such devices, this is a rather unusual but very user-friendly approach. It is also capable of self-cleaning the cyclone filter directly during operation. Due to these possibilities, the model certainly attracts attention. In our review, we will examine in detail the characteristics and functionality of the Hoover Rhapsody RA22AFG 019.
Appearance
The vacuum cleaner is made of light and dark gray plastic with a matte or smooth finish. Buttons and important elements (mounts on the brush, button for opening the dust collector, button for connecting parts) have a greenish-blue color. The waste collection container is made of transparent tinted plastic, which allows you to control its filling. It has a mark for maximum filling. The dust collector is cleaned by pressing a button, after which the lower part of the glass opens and the garbage gets enough sleep (this should be done above the bin).
The dimensions of the assembled vacuum cleaner: 110x29.7x25.9 cm. It weighs 2.2 kg. You can use it as a regular vertical vacuum cleaner or as a manual one, after disconnecting the pipe. The tube is made of lightweight aluminum and is silver in color. Its length is 70.9 cm.
The device itself has a handle with a button to turn it on. For the vacuum cleaner to work, you need to hold the button, as soon as you release the button, the vacuum cleaner turns off. Most vertical vacuum cleaners work by this principle. Next to the power button is a lever that holds the button in the on position, it is convenient to use for long-term cleaning.
The turbo button is located on the top of the case. When the main button is pressed, you can press the turbo mode and it will work until you release the power button. Thus, you must not forget that you activated it and did not turn it off. Everything has been done to save money. The maximum operating time in normal mode is 35 minutes.
There is a motor on top that provides good suction power, ventilation holes are on the sides, air is drawn down, the handle did not heat up after a 20-minute cleaning and no hot air was felt.
Below is a removable battery and it seems to me that this is a good solution. If charging is necessary, the battery is removed and charged by the charger where convenient. If the wall mount is installed near a power outlet, you can charge without removing the battery.

Functionality
The vacuum cleaner is designed to clean any surfaces, for which it has a large number of nozzles for various purposes. When suctioned, the device performs a double air purification. First, he enters the dust collector, where it is twisted into a vortex. To do this, it is equipped with a special rotating mesh. Due to the generated centrifugal force, the dust is thrown onto the walls of the container and lowered to the bottom. Through the screen and filter with the help of a fan, air passes to the middle and is fed up. The fan feeds it to the post-motor filter, where the remaining smallest particles are screened out.
Filters and all elements have rubberized seals, and nozzles are fixed tight enough to ensure tightness. A valve is installed on the dust collector (at the inlet), which prevents debris from getting enough sleep after shutting down. All filters are elementarily serviced; sometimes it is enough to clean and wash them; everything is done simply and efficiently.
Hoover Rhapsody RA22AFG 019 has a special bracket that needs to be fixed to the wall and hang the device on it. There is also room for two brushes. When cleaning, you can leave the appliance in an upright position. In this case, it is not required to fix it or lean on the wall. This was made possible by a recess in the nozzle and a recess in the nozzle.
The electric brush is equipped with a backlight, which helps to produce a more thorough cleaning in poorly lit places and under furniture. It also has a hinge that allows you to rotate 40 ° horizontally and up to 90 ° - vertically. For tightness in this position, a flexible corrugated pipe is laid inside. Bunches of bristles are located on the rotating electric brush in waves. It also has two grooves that are designed to facilitate the removal of hair and wool wrapped around the brush. The brush is easily removed by depressing the latch.
The parquet brush has two rows of soft bristles. Felt rollers are located on the sides, which help the brush to slide on the parquet and prevent the plastic from rubbing against it, in order to avoid damage. It is suitable not only for parquet, but also for any hard surfaces and even carpet.
There is also a nozzle for crevices, on which you can put on a brush of medium stiffness. The combination nozzle also has a removable brush. Without it, you can clean anywhere, and with it - to clean upholstered furniture.
Charge via the power adapter (cable length 1.5 m). In this case, the battery can be removed from the vacuum cleaner or left in place.
