To start on with, the Riccar RSL3, RSL4, and RSL5 are every one just eight pounds in weight. This is exactly the same weight as the prevalent Oreck vacuum cleaner.
The Oreck and Riccar eight pound lightweights offer plenty in common. They each weigh eight pounds, they both are easy to push back and forth, they each have a filter paper liner, and neither one uses attachments.
The Riccar RSL3, RSL4, and RSL5 vacuum employs a 5.5 amp motor that is a little more powerful than the 4 amp Oreck motor.
The Riccar RSL3, RSL4, and RSL5 also employs filter bags that might be very similar in characteristic and dimension to the Oreck vacuum bags. They're each micron filtration bags. Accessible at the moment are also HEPA filtration liners that are manufactured by the 3M company. They give the impression of being like white cloth, but are also disposable.
The RSL4 and RSL5 has a trait that sets them apart from the rest of the Riccar vacuum cleaners. They offer a two speed motor. The RSL3 has a single speed motor. That means that the RSL3 is used primarily for carpeted flooring alone. The RSL4 and RSL5 can also be utilized efficiently on bare floors. The elevated speed setting is utilized for sweeping carpet fibers. The lower setting is employed when vacuuming bare flooring, no matter whether they are tile, linoleum, or wood.
The reason you should have a slower brush when vacuuming bare floors is for the reason that the brush will not flip dust and filth out the back of the vacuum. With a lower speed brush roll, the vacuum cleaner will essentially get the dust off of a bare floor, and result in the bare floors feeling smooth to the touch.
The real advantage of having a revolving brush on bare flooring is that the brushes, that are natural fiber, will brush out the grit and dirt caught between the cracks in the bare floors, between tiles, and amongst slats in real wood flooring.
The roller brush on the RSL5 Riccar upright vacuum cleaner is stainless-steel and utilizes brush inserts that are effortlessly changed when they eventually wear out. The brush roller on the RSL3 is built from wood, but has the exact same quality of brushes as the other two designs.
The Riccar RSL series is commonly offered with a small canister sweeper to use on carpeted steps, upholstery, and inside the car. Seeing as the Riccar RSL3, RSL4, or RSL5 will not come with on board attachments, the canister vacuum cleaner is practical.
The weight comes in very helpful, if you are moving the vacuum cleaner up and down stairs to clean. It's also a bonus when you have difficulty moving heavier vacuum cleaners. Just about all upright vacuum cleaners weigh approximately 15 or 16 pounds.
The principle downside with the lightweight vacuum cleaners is the insufficient suction. The motors are small and fail to give you ample suction for deep sweeping.
This style of sweeper works well with lower pile carpeting or Berber carpeting.
I would advise aquiring your Riccar lightweight eight pound vacuum only from a local independent supplier. They're going to be able to honor the factory warranty.
Buying Riccar brand vacuums online voids the warranty, as merchants are not allowed to sell beyond their local area.
