The Piranha Royale EV-825-S16 is a discontinued barrel vacuum, according to CHOICE. Its listing gives a 1.2 L bin, 4.9 m reach and 5 kg weight, but the detailed cleaning and usability scores are available only to CHOICE members. That means the available information supports a specification-focused overview, not a verdict on how well it cleans.
What are the EV-825-S16’s specifications?
CHOICE’s product listing identifies the EV-825-S16 as a barrel vacuum with a bin dust collector. It reports these specifications:
| Specification | CHOICE listing |
|---|---|
| Stated power | 1600 W |
| Measured power | 1322 W |
| Dust collector volume | 1.2 L |
| Reach from power point | 4.9 m |
| Weight | 5 kg |
| Country of origin | China |
| Warranty | Not recorded by CHOICE |
These are figures reported on CHOICE’s review page. The accessible listing does not provide a publication year. The difference between stated and measured power is not, by itself, evidence of cleaning effectiveness; CHOICE’s detailed performance results are member-only.

This is the set listed on the review page; it does not establish what might be included with a used unit or any current resale listing.
How did it perform in testing?
The accessible CHOICE result marks the CHOICE Expert Rating and results for cleaning performance, carpet cleaning, ease of use, pet hair, corners and edges, noise, reliability and satisfaction as member-only. The scores and underlying findings are therefore not available in the listing, so there is no reliable basis here to call the EV-825-S16 effective—or ineffective—on any of those measures.
The page identifies Kim Gilmour and Adrian Lini in contributor biographies, but the accessible result does not include a specific expert quotation about this model. No hands-on test results are available in this review.

Is the Piranha Royale EV-825-S16 discontinued?
Yes. CHOICE labels the model discontinued. Its page lists $99.00, but that figure is not established as a current offer, and the page’s association with bigw.com.au does not confirm present stock. Treat any listing you find as a second-hand or potentially stale offer until the seller confirms the exact model and availability.
Which replacement filter fits the EV-825-S16?
CHOICE lists an extra HEPA filter as an included accessory, but the accessible product information does not give a replacement-filter part number or confirm compatibility with currently sold filters. Before buying one, check the vacuum’s model label and compare the replacement part number with documentation from the seller or manufacturer. Do not assume that a filter described as “HEPA” or as fitting another Piranha vacuum will fit this model.
What should you check before buying a used one?
Because the model is discontinued and current stock, parts and warranty support are not established by the listing, verify the condition and contents of the specific unit rather than relying on the original specification sheet. Useful checks include:
Quick Recap
- Confirm that the label on the vacuum says EV-825-S16.
- Ask whether the hose, wand, floor tool, small tools, handheld unit and tool holder are present and working.
- Check the bin, filters, cord and attachments for damage or missing parts.
- Verify that a compatible replacement filter is available before purchase if you expect to need one.
- Ask the seller about operation, returns and any remaining warranty; CHOICE does not record a warranty for the model.
