I have 4 of these (2 are the later R10 versions), they are probably the best performing lightweight uprights I've ever used, and they're actually pretty durable. Add into the fact that they're still in production today (albeit for a pretty high price tag), these are probably the last lightweight uprights in terms of performance.

Nice salvage job! I have a Riccar R10S.2 from 2018, which I trash picked in 2020. I made a 5 part video series of it called “salvaging a Riccar R10S.2 in pieces.” But being that I had just bought a new Dyson GEN 5 detect, I won’t be needing my Riccar anymore, especially since it scatters on hard floors, and it does not have a pick up hose.

You are very brave to be doing that “poof” thing without a mask. I’d be sick for days 😳

I hate mine! I went from an oreck to one of these. They swoooore it was most comparable, HATE IT!! The brush wrapped hair around it none stop! My oreck never did that! I cleaned it out today, it was compacted with the norm, hair, carpet fibers, dust. Now it’s hard to push! The brushes are spinning great. It’s picking up well but I wish I still had my oreck!

So get another Oreck. BTW, hair wrap is much less with the Supralite when considering very long hair. You also need to clean the brushroll after every use, no exceptions

I cleaned out mine and replaced the belt and now mine is hard to push, too. I might try calling them tomorrow to see what they suggest

I’d be less concerned about the riccar and more concerned with your balding. Perhaps the oreck wasn’t picking up everything…now you truly see how much hair you are losing

Looking forward to the testing. I've been curious to how these compare to the Orecks.
@jammiefladebo90749 ай бұрын
Doesn’t compare to my Oreck XL I would have been better off parting my oreck back together. It lasted close to 16 years before it was damaged when we moved. Otherwise it was still perfect !

Awesome! I have always liked these little machines. They seem to be more durable than Orecks.
