R25 Premium Pet Upright Vacuum

I have an Australian Shepherd who sheds twice a year from Jan to June and June to December and my Riccar R25 does great. There is also a pet version, though I don't know what the differences are. It's been going strong for 7 years now and never had an issue. I believe it was $300 when I bought it. I'm going to take it in for it's first maintenance sometime in the near future. Might not be necessary but it's cheap insurance. People recommend Sebo and Miele a lot here but I've never used either. Probably worth looking into at least.

- Full Sealed-system HEPA filtration with *cloth* disposable bags - The more, the better of > Airflow (CFM) & Suction (Inches of Water-lift) - Manual Carpet Height Adjustment is ideal but not always necessary (depends on carpet & rug types) - Serviceable/Repairable - Reinforced Chassis and Parts - Rubber Wheels! (Quiet, non-abrasive) - Adjustable Suction for certain types of rugs / carpets (again, carpet-dependent). - Weight distribution - most of it should be at ground level to make the vac feel lightweight - Long power cord - On-board tools, hose, etc Generally the most-preferred upright vacs are the Riccar R25 Series models, and the Sebo Felix. I think the Riccar is a better value but Sebo’s quality is awesome.

We use a riccar pet. It just shreds the hair. Dual motors. The dog hair doesn't have a chance

Miele canister or Riccaro upright. Bagged vacuum all the way.

Pricey but the last one you’ll buy is Riccar upright, bag. Best system out there.
