R27P Clean Air Premium Pet Upright Vacuum

I got a riccar r27p I’m excited to use for the first time this weekend lol- paid $600 from local place so I can get it serviced etc when needed.

I just purchased an R27P. It's made in Vietnam. Works beautifully. Quieter than I thought it would be.

I've had bagless uprights for 20+ years and recently realized how bad they are for my allergies. I bought a bagged Riccar upright and a Kenmore bagged canister. The amount of dirt that is coming out of my carpet is amazing. The bags are so different than they used to be. Now they are HEPA. Bagged from now on.

I don't have the turbo or the Intuition. I have a Riccar upright and then I bought the BC4030 canister. You might send a message to Kenmore to see if the canister attachment works on the Intuition, but I'm betting it doesn't.

Many corded vacuums have headlights on their carpet powerheads but most do not have headlights on the hard floor/parquet brushes. The plush carpet needs a vacuum with physical carpet height adjustment and suction control helps too. I highly recommend trying these vacuums in person to see if they meet your needs. Miele C3 Marin has headlights on the SEB236 powerhead. It's a very good vacuum for carpets and hard floors and it's very quiet. Downsides are the standard tools are small so they fit in a compartment and the bags can leak if you don't reseat them every time you open the bag door. Riccar has several upright vacuums with headlights. The Riccar R25 Deluxe, R25 Premium Pet, R27 Deluxe, R27 Premium Pet have headlights, the Premium Pet models add dirt sensor lights that turn on when it detects dirt. The Tandem Air Upright Deluxe and Premium Pet also have headlights and dirt sensor lights on the Premium Pet. Riccar makes complicated vacuums that perform well but they are not as durable/reliable as Miele or Sebo. Prolux QX90 canister vacuum has headlights on its carpet powerhead. Prolux is not as expensive as Miele and Sebo but they are a step down in quality and reliability. I think they are still better than Kenmore canister vacuums and the many budget vacuums. There are also stick on led lights that you can attach to any vacuum that does not have headlights. While I like headlights that work on all surfaces, I would rather choose the vacuum that best meets my needs and I like overall the best. What do you think?

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.

We use a riccar vacuum for pets. Dual motors and it just shreds the dog hair up. Have a dig brush attachment that works like a champ

So most of the heavily marketed brands will put out a “pet” edition. All that is usually different on the pet edition versus the consumer is a paint color change, maybe an additional tool but a heck of an up charge as a sales tactic. If you don’t mind used get on marketplace and look for an Oreck made in 2013 or before. That’s when they got bought and quality went to hell. Riccar premium pet will suck a watermelon through a garden hose, has a great warranty and is amazing but comes with a price tags. It might just come with the territory of a 2,400 square foot house in the burbs that will hold up long term. The big thing that might cause some drama is an old school bag vacuum is superior to a modern canister. Yes a bag less vacuum is nice because you can just dump it and go on, but the bagged ones are built to last.

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.

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