For those who want American quality in a vacuum cleaner, it’s hard to go wrong with Riccar vacuum cleaners. The company bills itself as being “the first name in vacuums that last,” and that surely isn’t something that is said in jest at that company. For those who need a vacuum cleaner of various types, including canister, upright and commercial-quality 8-pound vacuums, Riccar is the way to go.
The flagship model among its upright vacuum cleaners is the Premium Radiance. It employs two separate motors in series to bring outstanding carpet cleaning to the game. Naturally, it has a first rate HEPA filtration system and contains every onboard tool that would be needed in order to really get into a carpet and vacuum it clean. Its list price comes in at a little over $1500 but, with this vacuum, you are definitely getting what you paid for.
That HEPA filtration system is designed to capture nearly 100% of all particulate matter down to an awesome 0.3 microns in size. It has a unique display that senses what is in front of it and adjusts the lighting accordingly. It will indicate when the very deep dirt has been picked up from the carpet, even. At the apex of the canister lineup available from Riccar vacuum cleaners is the 1800 Premium Canister.
This particular model is considered to be the top of the line unit in the Riccar lineup. It also features two motors that provide a total of 12 amps of power and an upgraded 7-stage HEPA filtration system that is second to none when it comes to capturing 100% of airborne allergens and particulate matter. It also comes with an activated charcoal filter along with a 3-ply vacuum bag that sets the industry standard in premium canister models.
The vacuum cleaner belt is made of high quality Kevlar, which means that it is guaranteed for life, which is quite impressive for any vacuum. Additionally, there is an array of features and capabilities that combine to deliver truly awesome performance in a canister vacuum cleaner. It’s not cheap by any stretch of the imagination — listing at nearly $1600 — but anyone who has owned one says that it is worse it at twice the price.
When it comes to the Rolls-Royce of vacuums, Riccar is probably in the running for that title in just about every segment that it creates a vacuum for. There is no end to the capabilities and features the company puts into even its bargain-level vacuums, and — at the top levels — it’s hard to find another vacuum out there that comes anywhere close to being as capable as Riccar vacuum cleaners.
