The Russell Hobbs RHF218C is a bagless barrel vacuum with a dust bin, cyclonic and HEPA-grade filter components, and a set of floor and detail-cleaning tools. CHOICE lists useful specifications, including a 2.4 L measured dust collector and 9.5 m reach, but its public listing does not show the independent cleaning scores or noise result. Those figures are not enough to establish how well it cleans.
What kind of vacuum is the RHF218C?
The official Russell Hobbs RHF218C instruction booklet identifies a bagless barrel vacuum. Its listed components include a dust bin, cyclonic filter, flexible hose, extendable tube, combination floor tool and variable-speed control.
CHOICE’s Australian model listing names a telescopic wand, hose, turbo brush, carpet/hard-floor tool, crevice tool, dusting brush and small turbo brush. The manual’s search extract lists a crevice tool with small brush, turbo floor tool and mini pet turbo tool instead. Because attachment bundles can differ by market or manual version, check the contents of the specific unit you are considering rather than assuming either list applies everywhere.

RHF218C specifications
These figures are from CHOICE’s listing; its accessible page does not show a publication date for them. They are not presented as manufacturer-confirmed specifications.
#1 Best Overall
- CUSTOMIZABLE HEATING OPTIONS: Choose from three settings to suit your needs - High (1500W), Low (900W), or Fan Only for air circulation without heat.
- COMPACT & PORTABLE: Weighing just 3 lbs and sized at 7.5“L x 6.3”W x 9.5“H, this space heater is easy to move and perfect for your Home, Office.
- Built-in Tip-Over Protection, Overheat Protection, and a Power Indicator Light for safe operation.

| Measure | CHOICE listing |
|---|---|
| Stated power | 2200 W |
| Measured power | 1580 W |
| Measured dust collector volume | 2.4 L |
| Reach from power point | 9.5 m |
| Weight | 7.6 kg |
Stated power and measured power are different measures, so the 2200 W figure should not be treated as the vacuum’s measured draw. Neither wattage figure, on its own, establishes pickup performance.
How well does the RHF218C clean?
CHOICE’s public listing does not expose its expert score, cleaning-performance scores, noise result, pros or cons; those details are behind membership access. Without those results, there is not enough public evidence here to call the RHF218C a strong or weak cleaner, or to make a noise judgment.
Rank #2
- EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION: The heater's 45-degree oscillation function ensures even heat distribution across the room, warming a wider area for maximum comfort.
- CUSTOMIZABLE HEATING OPTIONS: Choose from three settings to suit your needs - High (1500W), Low (900W), or Fan Only for air circulation without heat.
- COMPACT & PORTABLE: Weighing just 3 lbs and sized at 7.5“L x 6.3”W x 9.5“H, this space heater is easy to move and perfect for your Home, Office.
- Built-in Tip-Over Protection, Overheat Protection, and a Power Indicator Light for safe operation.
- RAPID HEATING TECHNOLOGY: Ceramic heating provides fast and efficient heat in minutes with only 43 dB noise level, keeping you warm quickly on cold days.
For a purchase decision, seek model-specific results for carpet and hard floors, pet-hair pickup, noise and filtration. Compare those with the exact unit’s included tools, weight, reach, bin size, current price, local service and spare-parts support, and warranty. The listed wattage is not a substitute for those checks.

Is the RHF218C still available?
CHOICE marks the RHF218C discontinued in its Australian listing. That is an Australia-specific status, not proof that remaining stock, used units or sales in other markets are unavailable. Check local retailers or Russell Hobbs support for current market-specific availability; no current stock or price is established here.

Filters and maintenance
The RHF218C booklet identifies cyclonic and HEPA-grade filter components. Russell Hobbs’ general filter guidance says to replace a vacuum filter if it is worn, excessively dirty or torn, and says HEPA filters should be changed after six months. That interval is general advice, not a model-specific service instruction.
The sources do not establish the RHF218C’s exact filter type or a compatible replacement part number. Before ordering, confirm the filter location, type and fit with the RHF218C booklet and Russell Hobbs support for your market; do not assume a generic HEPA filter will fit.
