Your new vacuum can be on its way soon! We aim to send orders out quickly, with standard shipping typically taking 3–5 business days. A signature is required at delivery so we can ensure safe delivery.
Dealing with bestvacuum.com was wonderful. Efficient ordering system and unbelievable delivery time! I live in an area of the country that does not supply the filters. Well, a lot of things, so we all depend on the internet for shopping. Thank you for being there, and doing a great job!

Why is a Riccar priced above big-box uprights?
It is an American-made, metal-built upright with sealed HEPA and a multi-year warranty. It often runs 15 to 20+ years, so the cost per year lands below cheaper machines you replace every few years.
How long do Riccar vacuums last?
15 to 20-plus years is common with basic care. The build is metal-reinforced and serviceable, so wear parts get replaced instead of the whole machine.
Are they easy to maintain?
Yes. Self-sealing bags come out without a dust cloud and filters swap in seconds. Genuine parts are stocked and easy to get.
How is a Riccar different from a Dyson?
Bagged, with sealed HEPA that keeps dust in the bag, rather than a bagless bin you empty by hand. A Riccar is also American-made and serviceable, so it gets repaired instead of replaced.
Will the R40P work on my carpet?
Yes, and thick carpet is where it stands out. It has dual motors, an extruded aluminum brushroll, a dirt sensor and 6 levels of height adjustment, and the surface selector takes care of bare floors.
Is it good for allergies?
Sealed HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of dust and dander down to 0.3 microns, and the self-sealing bag keeps it there when you empty it.
