Riccar r10 s and special baseplate they make, 9 lbs like your oreck
pick up a riccar r10 s super easy and powerfull, they make it in cordless as well
yes I use riccar lightweights at home
Riccar r10s super light easy to push.. find a local dealer and take one for a spin.. happy shopping
Agreed with above, but for an upright it’s a Riccar R10S or P. Super light, huge hepa bag, awesome volume/suction great price 3 year warranty
The Riccar R10S is your answer. No bagless for sure. See a local dealer, if they do not deal Riccar hit me back.
Riccar R10S cannot be beat on carpet or bare floor. See a local dealer
1. Bagged. Bagless is the worst. ( many reasons) 2. Shop local, go to a dealer. Get educated. See what real durable, reliable machines are all about. Leave price out of the equation. Tell them you are there to be educated. 3. If you compare what you learn to what is out there, you will go back especially if your local dealer Carrie’s the Riccar R10S. This vac will clean your house like it has never been. IMO the R10S is the best vac on the market.
You are correct about the lack of quality and reliability in Dyson today. The Riccar 10S or the R25 series will exceed your expectations at a great price. Se local dealer.
Riccar CV10. Or R10S. Best carpet vac in the world currently. See a local dealer
Must go bagged. The Riccar 10S is the lightest, most powerful, durable, serviceable vac in the world. See a local dealer. You will not be disappointed.
In the world of vacuum cleaners, buy a Riccar and the money stays in the US.
Taiwan, but the R10 series is partially made and fully assembled in MO. Riccar is constantly trying to move more manufacturing and assembly to US. At least the $ stays in US.
See a local dealer. If they are too far, check Riccar on the web then hit me back. Riccar is best by far. BAGGED ONLY.
Riccar? That’s in my top 3.
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.
Never consider Shark. Bagged is best. Riccar is top of the line if you’re willing to spend. See a local dealer.
I speak from experience. I experience many vacs daily. Bagless all leak. The brush rolls are weak at best. Shark puts out models with no or very little support. The bagless vacs are designed to be replaced in 5 years. Bagged especially Riccar and Sebo are designed to last 20 years and create a MUCH cleaner space than any bagless. Shark and all bagless can afford advertising and reviews because it costs nothing to make the trash they sell. See a local dealer, learn what it takes to be a real vacuum.
I have 2 white labs. Gray flooring. I have white tumble hairs constantly. I bought a shark cordless for daily sweeping. I have a Ricar regular vacuum l use once a week because those bags are expensive. Don’t ever buy a sweeper that has a disposable bag especially if you have pets. I have white leather l can just wipe down or blow the hair off. Sweeping is a never ending battle with pets. You have a few. Comes with the territory. I can sweep and turn around and l see hair again. Sweeping daily possibly twice a day if you really want to stay on top of it.
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.
Big fan of the riccar supralite. I’ll take that and an old school elctrolux any day.
If you don’t need a hose the Ricaar super lights are pretty good. We have 7 of them in service for about 3 years now.
Riccar Supralite and a Mighty mite is all you need. Depending on where you are Quaility Sewing and vacuum or Redmond Vacuum. Jonathan at Redmond is one of my favorite people. Use to work at Issaquah Sewing and vacuum 25+ years cleaning professionally
I love my Riccar Supralite for carpet and a Mighty mite for everything else
A supralite Riccar for carpet and a mighty mite for everything else. Miele is expensive and the canister is uncooperative.
Sorry but I dont think such a thing exists. In 25+ years of cleaning. In fairness hardwood floors aren't what they use to be. I love my Riccar Supralite for carpet. You need a good brush roll for carpets. That would scratch a hardwood floor and throw everything around. Actually had it happen years ago. For every thing else I use a Mighty Mite. With the softest floor brush they make on all hard surface floors. Also great for cobwebs and dusting walls.
