Riccar R65 with the pet & upholstery tool. It's much less expensive than the Dyson and does a better job imo. It's HEPA filtered. It comes with a charging stand which is really nice. It's just an all around great vacuum.
Stick vacs are generally garbage but I would argue the Miele Triflex or the Riccar R65 are better than any stick vac that Dyson has ever produced. My source is that it’s my job to repair vacuums.
I would recommend the R65 Riccar cordless stick vacuum. It allows you to change the suction speed. I believe they are priced around $300 and can get parts for them easily if you ever need them. I will say they aren't meant to be a whole house vacuum with pets, but will do great on area rugs and stairs with pet hair.
I bought a riccar r65 6 weeks ago and I’m constantly getting blockage notifications, within 2 minutes of using it, the pet hair is clogged where the stick meets the canister. It was working great and suddenly it’s completely useless to me! Any tips? The place I purchased it from is not responding to my customer support requests. It was a $500 vacuum here in Canada and I’m so upset!!
Another poster in another thread told me to check the top filter, I had only been cleaning out the metal filter. Any way sure enough I cleaned that out and the vacuum is working perfectly again! Phew!!
Here is works for me, a fellow ADHDer. I have two vacuums, an ancient corded Shark Navigator to be my “work horse” and a cordless Riccar R65 to be my low-barrier every day vacuum. (Just FYI I wish I had gotten the Henry Quick, because emptying the chamber on the Riccar is a pain, I literally have to use some big plastic tweezers to get all the stuff out). I use the Shark when I have the executive function to do so.
So I think for someone with ADHD, it’s good to have both options.
I have the Riccar R65 and so far so good, but I would never depend on it as my main vacuum. It is a royal pain to empty, which it needs frequently.
If I could go back I might choose the Henry Quick, I just didn’t want to have to buy the pods (bags).
I've had the riccar for about a year and it's been awesome. had to clean the filter once because i used to vacuum drywall dust before i bought a shopvac..
it works really well and is super convenient to use and looks good in the corner. i paid extra for the battery stand and honestly haven't needed it but I'm only working with one floor at the moment, battery is good for at least twenty minutes on high that's a lot of vacuuming i usually only run it for a few minutes and can get the floor in every room. easy to take apart I like that it doesn't feel annoying to vacuum because you don't have to plug anything in and it works well, easy to swap attachments from the stand.
