The Riccar RSL4 vacuum is considered one of the best sellers in Ashland Ohio. These are the benefits that make that so.
Initially, the Riccar RSL4 is just eight pounds in weight. This is exactly the same weight as the popular Oreck vacuum cleaner.
The Oreck and Riccar lightweights have a lot in common. They each weigh eight pounds, they each are painless to push, they each use a filter bag, and neither one uses attachments.
The Riccar RSL4 vacuum uses a 5.5 amp motor that is a little more powerful than the 4 amp Oreck motor. The Riccar RSL4 also uses paper bags that are very alike in quality and size to the Oreck vacuum cleaner paper bags. They are each micron filtration bags.
The RSL4 has a trait that sets it apart from the other Riccar vacuum cleaners. It uses a two speed motor. The higher speed setting is utilized for vacuuming carpet. The lower setting is utilized when vacuuming bare floors, whether they be tile, wood, or linoleum.
The real advantage of having a revolving brush on bare floors is that the brushes, which are natural fiber, will scrub out the grit and dirt among the cracks in the floor, between tiles, and between slats in a real wood floor.
The reason you want a slower brush when vacuuming bare floors is because the brush will not flip dirt and filth out the back of the vacuum cleaner. With a lower speed roller, the vacuum cleaner will actually pick up the dirt off of a bare floor, and leave the floor feeling smooth to the touch. All the grit will be gone.
The Riccar RSL4 typically comes with a small canister vacuum cleaner to use on carpeted steps, upholstery, and inside the car. Since the Riccar RSL4 will not come with attachments, the canister vacuum is practical.
The only disadvantage with the lightweight vacuums is the lack of suction. The motors are small and do not give you enough suction for deep cleaning. This type of vacuum cleaner works very well with lower pile carpeting or Berber carpet.
The light weight comes in very handy, if you are hauling the vacuum up and down stairs to clean. It's also a bonus if you have difficulty hauling heavier vacuums. Most upright vacuum cleaners weigh about 15 or 16 pounds.
I would recommend getting your Riccar vacuum cleaner only from a nearby independent retailer. They can honor the factory warranty.
Shopping online voids the warranty, as retail store owners are not allowed to ship outside their area.
