The Vacuum Cleaner

Riccar Vacuum Cleaner models are manufactured and sold by Riccar America, an American company that has been in business for more than fifty years. This California-based company has five warehouses across the United States, as well as its own production center in Missouri, which is responsible for vacuum cleaner assembly. One look at the Riccar home page is all that you need to understand how proud Riccar is to be an American manufacturing success story and to feel how committed the company is to producing high quality products for their residential and commercial customers.

The Riccar pride shows through in their Riccar Vacuum Cleaner line, as each unit is built with parts that are designed to last for years to come. Unlike many of their competitors, Riccar Vacuum Cleaner models are designed with many metal parts, including the wands, base plates and even cord hooks. There are also metal pivot designs within the unit that give it an even longer life. The utilization of metal components adds to the weight of the typical Riccar Vacuum, but that is a tradeoff many consumers are willing to make since metal lasts longer than plastic. In addition to the metal content of many Riccar Vacuum parts, each Riccar Vacuum is renowned for its increased suction power. The motors in every Riccar Vacuum model are generally larger than their rivals, which provide the increased power for additional suction.

Among Riccar Vacuum Cleaner models, the canister Riccar Vacuum Cleaner is a popular choice for many homeowners. Since they are designed in various sizes, there is enough variety in these models to please any consumer and meet individual needs. Even their smallest units contain some level of metal content, ensuring added durability and longer life for even the smaller Riccar Vacuum models. Somme Riccar Vacuum Cleaner models come with HEPA filtration systems, with some of the higher priced models having HEPA filters that are completely sealed, which ensures that your carpet cleaning endeavors simultaneously remove allergens and pollutants from the air inside your home. These features are only found in the best vacuum cleaners.

There are some complaints about Riccar and Riccar Vacuum Cleaner products. For instance, many consumers are unhappy that Riccar has not ventured into the realm of steam vacuum technology, which is less of a complaint than recognition of the value that consumers place on the Riccar brand name. Riccar bags must be ordered, and there are no bagless Riccar Vacuum models. Unfortunately, this is a deal-breaker for many consumers who have grown attached to bagless technology. As for technology, Riccar has a reputation as being somewhat behind the times in the technology that its vacuum cleaners employ.

With Riccar, you are really forced to make big tradeoffs, in that the Riccar Vacuum Cleaner line makes no pretensions of being made for every person and every need. They are somewhat more expensive than the mid-range vacuums on the market, but that added cost is offset by the increased power and long life of a Riccar. The best advice is to know your needs and buy accordingly.
