The Hoover Rhapsody RA22AFG 019 upright vacuum cleaner, unlike most wireless devices, has a vertical parking, with the motor located on top. This is a rather unusual but very user-friendly approach for such devices. It is also capable of self-cleaning the cyclone filter directly during operation. Due to these features, the model certainly attracts attention. In our review, we will take a closer look at 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 (attachments on the brush, button for opening the dust container, button for connecting parts) are greenish-blue. 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 container is cleaned by pressing a button, after which the lower part of the glass opens and the debris spills out (this should be done over the bin).
The dimensions of the assembled vacuum cleaner: 110x29.7x25.9 cm. It weighs 2.2 kg. It can be used as a regular vertical vacuum cleaner or as a hand-held 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. To operate the vacuum cleaner, the button must be held down, as soon as the button is released, the vacuum cleaner turns off. Most vertical vacuum cleaners work according to this principle. Next to the power button there is a lever that holds the button in the on position, it is convenient to use during 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 is done in order to save money. The maximum operating time in normal mode is 35 minutes.
There is a motor on top that provides good suction power, the ventilation holes are on the sides, the air is discharged downward, after a 20-minute cleaning, the handle did not heat up and the hot air was not felt.
There is a removable battery at the bottom and I think this is a good solution. When charging is required, the battery can be removed and charged with a charger wherever convenient. If the wall mount is installed near a power outlet, you can charge without removing the battery.

Functionality
The vacuum cleaner is designed for cleaning any surfaces, for which it has a large number of attachments for different purposes.When sucked in, the device performs double air purification. First, it enters the dust collector, where it swirls into a vortex. For this, it is equipped with a special rotating mesh. Due to the centrifugal force generated, the dust is thrown onto the walls of the container and sinks to the bottom. The air flows through the mesh and filter with the help of a fan to the middle and is fed up. The fan delivers it to the post-motor filter, where the remaining tiny particles are eliminated.
Filters and all elements have rubberized seals, and the nozzles are fixed tightly enough to ensure tightness. A valve is installed on the dust collector (at the inlet) that prevents debris from spilling out after shutdown. All filters are elementary serviced, sometimes it is enough to clean and wash them, everything is done simply and efficiently.
The Hoover Rhapsody RA22AFG 019 has a special bracket that you need to mount on the wall and hang the device on. There is also space for two brushes. While cleaning, you can leave the appliance in an upright position. In this case, it is not required to fix it or support it 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 illumination, which helps to perform more thorough cleaning in poorly lit areas and under furniture. It also has a hinge that allows 40 ° horizontal turns and up to 90 ° vertical turns. For tightness in this position, a flexible corrugated pipe is laid inside. On the rotating electric brush, bristle bundles are arranged in waves. It also has two grooves, which are designed to make it easier to remove hair and wool wrapped around the brush. The brush is easily removed by pressing the lock.
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 crevice tool that can be used with a medium-hard brush. The combo nozzle also has a removable brush. Without it, you can clean anywhere, and with it you can clean upholstered furniture.
Charging should be done via the power adapter (wire length 1.5 m). In this case, the battery can be removed from the vacuum cleaner or left in place.
