R27CV Cordless Upright Vacuum

I have been destroying Dyson vacuums with all the fur for years. Recently learned there is an entire tier of vacuums above Dyson. We use a Sebo corded, bagged vacuum for deep cleans, but use a Riccar cordless, bagged for everyday. https://www.riccar.com/clean-air-cordless-power-upright-vacuum I also (because I’m a nerd) have a Miele cordless, but the canister is a little small and I have to empty it a lot. That’s why we also have the Riccar https://www.mieleusa.com/product/11826970/cordless-stick-vacuum-cleaner-triflex-hx1-facelift-lotus-white

Oh and the Riccar is heavier than the Miele. But I carry them both up and down the stairs no issues

Riccar has 2 different bagged cordless vacuums. R10cv and the R27cv (which also has a very nice hose in board)

Riccar makes the best uprights with a huge selection. R40/r30 great for carpets and hardfloor, long hose, superior filtration to sebo. R27 great for hardfloor and very good on carpet. Long hose, again superior filtration to sebo.

The Sebo Dart is a great vacuum for carpets and the brushroll is removable without any tools to make removing hair wrap easier and faster. The suction is very strong and it's quieter than the average vacuum, but not as quiet as the best canisters. Just about any corded vacuum will clean carpets better than a cordless vacuum. The downsides of the Dart & Felix are they are top heavy, they have a short hose, and they don't include an extension wand. Alternatives all have tradeoffs. The Kenmore Elite upright is much cheaper usually around $250-300, it has great suction and carpet cleaning, but it's heavy and you need a screwdriver to remove the brushroll. The Kenmore isn't as well-built, and it won't last as long. The Riccar R25 and R27 are good upright vacuums too, the R25 Standard and R25 Deluxe can be $449 & $499. The Riccar R25 has a long hose and good suction, but it isn't as well-built or as easy to maintain as a Sebo Dart. I think the Sebo Dart is the best balance of durability with a few tradeoffs of a few less features.

lol Well good luck finding a cordless upright with a hose. Ricarr did come out with one but it’s junk. If you do find one please let me know :)

For the most part yes. In my opinion the only two decent cordless vacs are the Miele Triflex and the Riccar one (can’t remember name). Even then, I would recommend a corded canister or even corded upright before I’d recommend a stick vac. In my experience most stick vacs are not made to last longer than a year or maybe two. Just by nature of having a battery they are disposable, and they tend to be cheaply made. You also don’t get the benefits of a bag
