Riccar - Prima Power Team with Tandem Air Nozzle (R50TAP.2)

Mine imploded in less than a year. The motor died and it ate its own belt. Come to find out Most major brands in big box stores are owned by the same Chinese company and do not offer repairs. Just got a Riccar and am very happy with it

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

We have a Riccar, which we got from the local vacuum shop. It’s a bagged model and it plugs in, but it’s fantastic. Best vacuum I’ve ever owned. It was between Riccar and Miele for us, and we preferred the Riccar. We also have a Shark stick that we use for spot cleaning. It’s definitely not as good.

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.

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.

Maybe I missed it but in your links is the only place I’ve seen Riccar referenced. High quality vacuum- not sure how it’s not in OP’s data

+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.

Go to a real vacuum store and buy once cry once. Continuing to buy shark vacuums is just wasting more money. Riccar and simplicity are expensive but long term plays.
