If you have carpet you need a good vacuum like a Riccar, Miele, etc. My Riccar cleans rugs like nothing I’ve ever used before b

It’s the cordless supralite. Riccar makes pet specific vacuums but I’ve never tried one. Old house was mostly hard floors with wool area rugs. New house has Berber carpet and hard floors.

I have a Riccar supralight cordless, and it’s great for large open spaces, but it doesn’t have any tools so in order to vacuum tight spaces I have to use a different vacuum that isn’t cordless. Hand vacuum batteries don’t last nearly long enough for me to just use one of those

Cordless vacuums can clean just fine now a days, but the ones that do a decent job are all going to be a couple hundred. The assholes pretending that you aren’t cleaning at all probably don’t have any clue what they’re talking about anyways. Not saying they’re going to clean as good as corded, but they can do a good job for in between deep cleans. Miele makes good performance cordless vacuums, most of the complaints are going to be on the maintenance side, even though it’s very simple. Some people have difficulty figuring it out and remember how to maintenance it. Riccar makes a good one with a ton of suction power, now that isn’t going to necessarily translate to carpet performance, but it does a good job still. Especially for price point. Riccar R65 Miele hx2 series Riccar R10CV is going to be the best carpet and hardfloor performing cordless vacuum, and it’s bagged with a hepa/charcoal bag. Downside is it is strictly for flooring. No hose for attachments. They are really popular for schools, churches, and gyms in my area.

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

CIemson • about 1 month ago

The miele / Riccar stick vacs are definitely a step up but still not what i’d consider BIFL. Just the nature of taking batteries kind of limits their lifespan. You can get replacements, but they cost money and aren’t covered under warranty after a period (which is when they die, lol)

CIemson • 3 months ago

Also, cordless is convenient in the short term but they are pretty much made to be disposable. The batteries deteriorate and they tend to be made out of cheaper plastic and break quicker. If you just absolutely needed a stick / cordless the only two I could recommend are the Riccar stick (forgot exact model) or the Miele Triflex.

I had two Tineco’s and really liked them. Unfortunately, they both broke. I recently got a Riccar stick vacuum. I’m very impressed with the build and suction. It’s a bit heavier. The battery just pops out to recharge or you can recharge on its stand. It’s pricier than Tineco, $400, but I think it will last a lot longer.

Real vacuum dealerships will not sell Dyson any longer. Many other traditional brands either because those companies have decided to produce in Asia and change designs super fast. It is the OPPOSITE of sustainability, it is planned obsolescence at an incredible level. Vacs should not be bought online and a big box stores, these machines do not clean carpet/air, are designed to fail, can’t be serviced and are literal fire hazards. Man the stories I can tell you about “brand new” machines. Most were manufactured years before they reached the consumer. CAVEAT EMPTOR. Dealerships sell quality machines, built to last, serviceable, at great competitive prices, with warranties that do not cost extra. You can’t find service like that anywhere! Find a dealer and buy Riccar or Sebo.

They're ok. One of the best? Not really anymore. Parts are being discontinued or unavailable. Check out the Riccar R10 series. Couple of different models depending on what you're looking for. Warranty starts at one year for the entry model and goes up from there. Along with cost. Still though, better machine than the Oreck.

I'm late to the party but I went through a local vacuum store and purchased a Riccar Supralite and have been extremely happy with how this vacuum performs. My parents also have the same vacuum and also have been extremely happy. I don't see this brand mentioned much, but they're built to last and easy to repair (from a technicians perspective)

Sounds like most of your surfaces are hardwood vs carpet. If the carpet is low pile, you might be able to get a suction-only machine with a turbo floor tool. I recommend limiting your search to bagged models, none of the bagless models will provide the HEPA filtration you need. Are you in or near a city that has a vacuum dealer? If yes, they will assess your needs and work with you (discounts, demonstrations, etc.), its possible to get an entry level upright or canister in your budget and HEPA needs (Riccar Superlite, Miele C1). Most dealers have used models they refurbished at deep discounts from new/MSRP and have HEPA technology. Riccar, Filter Queen, Rainbow, Kirby, Sebo, Miele U1 and many others will meet your budget as a refurbished option.

Just demo’d the Riccar Superlight. It did not impress me for the price. I have very light heart pine floors, low pile rugs and a couple of shag rugs. Going to Demo another Riccar with an auto sensor that adjusts for the flooring. It also has a really accessible hose with attachments fire furniture. I have 3 dogs a teenage lacrosse/track kids with dirty cleats, and a cat, so I vacuum twice a day. I like. Uprights with bags because they keep away dust and allergens. I will return with a review.

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 repaired vacuums for a few years. The oldest and best models we worked on were Miele and Riccar. They are easily serviceable as a tech, and worked far better than any Dyson or Shark. The cheap molded plastics on Dyson specifically taught me to never trust advertising and to do my own research. Also for people with allergies and pets, I also learned if you use a bagless vacuum that you're doing yourself more harm than good. Tons of videos and I've seen it in person, bagless vacs not only leak a lot after minimal use but throw more dust/particles in the air than even the worst bagged vacs. I traded my Dyson for a Riccar on Craigslist, and kept an old trade in Miele built in the 80s. They both are far better and easier to work on than the heap I traded out.

I have a Shark Pet Pro Stick that plugs in, and it's really great on my hardwood floors and area rugs. I can't speak to super longevity yet, I've had it since 2023 with no issues. I used to have a Riccar, which is one of the good (but not quite Miele expensive) brands, and it was incredible- but it was also really heavy, and cumbersome. For me, regardless of how "good" the appliance is, the best one is the one I actually use. This and the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser handheld are my super duo. I have a short-haired dog who sheds like crazy and a maine coon. The tumblefuzz happens quickly if I skip a cleaning day.

As someone who works in the industry you will be replacing parts on that Dyson within 2yrs and having it fail at the 5yr mark. Consumer based reports are skewed due to the type of questions they ask like “how often are you getting your vacuum serviced”. Truly, look into Riccar. Most stick vacuums are not for deep cleaning and are basically brooms on steroids. They’re great for messes that just happened and picking up some furballs. Deep clean you need an actual vacuum
