Riccar - Prima Power Team with Full-Size Nozzle (R50FSN.2)

I had a Riccar Prima canister, and it was a GIANT PILE OF TRASH. And is literally trash now - the power head broke, the wand broke, and I ended up getting so annoyed that I just gave up on it and threw the stupid thing out. I don't know what their uprights are like, but after being burned horribly on the Prima, I personally wouldn't recommend a Riccar to my worst enemy.

I had a Riccar Prima canister. Worst vacuum I've ever used. Stupid thing self-destructed on me. Ended up scrapping it and getting a Sebo Felix, and never been happier.

Yeah, when I moved to another state last year I left the $80 upright with my roommate because she has carpet and my new house doesn’t. And that meant I could justify buying a new Riccar canister. They’re both quiet and lightweight, easy to maneuver. And yes, the new canister was $$$.

See a local dealer. If they are too far, check Riccar on the web then hit me back. Riccar is best by far. BAGGED ONLY.

No cordless, no bag less. Riccar makes the best. All with warranty over a year. Great quality. Last forever plus decades.

Riccar? That’s in my top 3.

Real vacuum dealerships will not sell Dyson any longer. Many other traditional brands either because those companies have decided to produce in Asia and change designs super fast. It is the OPPOSITE of sustainability, it is planned obsolescence at an incredible level. Vacs should not be bought online and a big box stores, these machines do not clean carpet/air, are designed to fail, can’t be serviced and are literal fire hazards. Man the stories I can tell you about “brand new” machines. Most were manufactured years before they reached the consumer. CAVEAT EMPTOR. Dealerships sell quality machines, built to last, serviceable, at great competitive prices, with warranties that do not cost extra. You can’t find service like that anywhere! Find a dealer and buy Riccar or Sebo.

Never consider Shark. Bagged is best. Riccar is top of the line if you’re willing to spend. See a local dealer.

I speak from experience. I experience many vacs daily. Bagless all leak. The brush rolls are weak at best. Shark puts out models with no or very little support. The bagless vacs are designed to be replaced in 5 years. Bagged especially Riccar and Sebo are designed to last 20 years and create a MUCH cleaner space than any bagless. Shark and all bagless can afford advertising and reviews because it costs nothing to make the trash they sell. See a local dealer, learn what it takes to be a real vacuum.

Riccar. Boo to all canisters because they are clunky… cord, canister, hose. Ugh!

Oh man i use a riccar for one of my buildings but the thing's been broken for 3 weeks now 😭

Riccar for carpet, Dyson V8 for the rest of life. Guaranteed.

Riccar or Miele. I've had both, currently have a Miele, and once you step into this range of vacuums you typically won't be satisfied with lower end models abilities. Amazing suction, independently powered brush heads, multi-stage HEPA filtration, etc. Not sure what model the other user that had Miele had, but mine is super well built, but that's expected when spending $1200+ on a vacuum.

I have a Riccar and also got the stick vac on Black Friday. Went with the self empty model and the way that thing is just easy to use has me grabbing it more often than not.

+Riccar, I own one and its been great. But $$$

I’ve had two Dyson animals and both have broken and are not repairable. They are not good vacuums, but they have great marketing. If your town has a vacuum store go there. (They hate Dysons too.) A good vacuum is expensive, but you’ll never have to replace it. I’m saving up for a Riccar or a SEBO. My sister has a Riccar and it is a dream. Never thought I would say that about a vacuum.
