Riccar Radiance R40p - 40 Series Premium Vacuum Cleaner Review

[@briandeline5065]

I've had a Riccar 17 years and I use it almost everyday (2 large dogs) and It's still going strong.

[@Ausscratchie]

You go girlfriend!

[@ThePuertoricanMermaid]

Which model?

[@WritingFighter]

I've seen in comments they are not made the way they used to be; after the 90's and early 2000's, they cheapened manufacturing. They're still good vacuums, but they're overpriced and require a lot of touch-up, professional maintenance (kinda like performance sports cars). I recently got a model that's only a few years old, all the same basic features as the one in the vid just not bells and whistles. But I got it refurbished for relatively cheap and 2-year extended warranty. But it did suck up half the salesman's shoe even with untied laces which was really impressive. See how it goes.

[@RADERFPV]

For $1,600, I'm expecting this vacuum to pick my kids up from school, and run other various errands for me. It's the least it could do at this price point. Great review.

[@YoBoyEli1]

Hilarious😆🤣

[@girlnextdoor0703]

I bought a house 10 years ago where the original owners/builders had passed away and the children left many household items as part of the sale. A Riccar N2000 was part of the lot. It looked old, but loved, like everything else. I was going to donate it but the central vac system (probably as old as house so 40 years+) died so I used it in a pinch. BEST VACUUM EVER. I have a Dyson V8 for quick daily pickups, and a new central vac system, but still after 10 years nothing beats that Riccar. I've joked that we bought the Riccar and got the house for free. Never had a single issue with it, that thing will suck the color right out of your carpet. It's a "buy it for life" vacuum, so while the price is high, when this one goes to be with the great vacuum in the sky, I'll be collecting cans to buy another.

[@komitadjie]

This review actually started me down the path that ended up with me getting one of these at our local shop, used and refurbished for *well* below the chest-clutching prices on the sticker. I was initially planning the Hoover Hushtone, but looking into the reviews and stats on this one, and handling one in person to get an appreciation for the build quality (including the guy at the shop pulling it literally open for me so I could see how it was built internally) I was sold. The build quality is extremely good, the performance is top-shelf, and parts are readily and *locally* available should something go wrong. I plan to have this one for 20+ years. That it did a good job cleaning my carpet goes without saying. We have a lot of sand and fine dust that blows and tracks around where I live, and my Dyson simply wasn't getting it out of the carpet, I could pull the fibers apart and still find a significant amount in the lower portions of our medium-pile. The Riccar was able to remove that. My goal, generally, is to reduce my wife and my allergy and sinus issues by better deep-cleaning. Have to see if it can do that in the long term! For anyone who hasn't played with one of these, think of the step between, say, a $100 generic from your local big box store, and a Dyson Animal 2. Then do that step AGAIN above the Dyson. For comparison, my last vacuum that this one replaced was a DC-26 that had served me for quite a few years, and I actually really like overall, and will still readily recommend for someone who can't afford the price of something in this kind of range. This is just *that* much of an increase beyond it.

[@Hovusa]

We've been a Riccar dealer over 35 Years, and I am former Kirby Salesperson, this vacuum is phenomenal and your video was almost word for word our demo. Great Job!

[@4596thomasMPC]

What vacuum cleaner is better kirby rainbow or this riccar

[@4596thomasMPC]

I'm not no dealer I'm asking which vacuum cleaners. Better kirby or riccar

[@4596thomasMPC]

So Tom I'm thinking about getting a riccar radiance. I currently have a dyson ball. And my mon has a kirby! Does riccar out clean them by a big shout

[@4596thomasMPC]

On lol ok

[@4596thomasMPC]

@Tom Jenkins your funny

[@PowerSax911]

Also, for those shocked at the price (it's a lot, like absurdly a lot), your local vacuum shop will give you a discount off the sticker price. Another benefit of going to a local shop is that they might have a used one at a steep discount. I got a Brilliance ($1000) for just $400 because it was used. A local store worth their salt will clean and fix up any issues before it heads to the floor for sale. Mine picked up a bunch of grit after having new carpets installed. This thing is amazing and agitates like none other which is where its cleaning ability really comes from. Would recommend a used one. Riccar is definitely not worth the sticker price but is worth every penny if you can get the price down to something reasonable.

[@jhomrich89]

We quite often will sell the previous generation R4P which brand new about 6 years ago was $1499, we will clean it up for you replace the strips, filters and whatever else it needs for $299, we are clearing out the old style R40P now at significant discounts, that one doesn't feel quite as balanced as the one in the video but still easy to use nonetheless and has many of the same features

[@MrWeatherMANBWH]

Awesome review. Just purchased one in the previous blue/green color. It's an awesome machine with fascinating cleaning power. The deep carpet cleaning is superior and the attachments make it worth the money for me. Love your reviews and the reason why I purchased the Riccar was based on your channel and how I should understand the strengths of a good good vacuum. Keep them coming. Brent from Ohio

[@joeday397]

You got problems if you are fascinated by a vacuum's cleaning power....you been had by the snake oil salesman.

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

Which Riccar do you own ??

[@MrWeatherMANBWH]

I own the same one that he reviewed the riccar radiance r40p. Great machine.

[@vacuumlover1]

Just picked up the Simplicity equivalent and I'm in love with it. You sir, ROCK for your thorough review.

[@ericsmith2480]

I'm not savvy with vacuums like many of you, so what is the Simplicity equivalent model?

[@jerryberkel8421]

The simplicity synergy

[@alexfrank6534]

I just got an R25 Pet. Absolutely game changer! Really helped with all my husky hair.

[@parfumextraitfan7453]

A note on the Kenmore… the two motors is one dedicated for suction and airflow with the second motor running the brush bar. The only difference between the 31140 and 31150 are the height settings, brush bar design, dirt sensor, and belt vs beltless/direct drive. There are not two suction motors on the Kenmore like there is on the Riccar

[@One-Day-After-Another]

Another youtuber found that the Kenmore had excellent suction at the cleaner head... but didn't do great on low pile carpets at all... In fact he said it was horrible and he would only recommend it for medium to higher pile.... I wonder why though? A vacuum with that much suction at the head should clean it all.... I don't get it... that's the second time I've heard that watching reviews about the Kenmore..

[@pipesgirls9400]

We bought the Riccar Tandem Air Premium Pet Upright Vacuum today after my Simplicity broke. We received a nice trade-in at our local vacuum store. We are excited about our purchase.

[@friendlyone2706]

Reason it deep cleaned carpet better than other 2-motor uprights, in addition to better brush roll design, is the brush roll motor doesn't just turn brush---it has a fan like an Oreck or Kirby. Only Tacony 2-motor uprights (so far) have this feature. The triple row of brush roll brushes combined with higher brush roll speed also mean each carpet sweep equals 2 to 4 sweeps with anything else. In other words, 30 minutes cleaning with the Riccar equals the brush action of 1 hour to two hours with any other company's dual motor. Big time savings. We also do our own testing, and S40's always pick up more dirt than we put down. Fran Tabor, A-1 Vacuum of Kalispell, Montana

[@boowiebear]

I have the Simplicity version of this vacuum. It is amazing. The warranty is nuts. Nothing broke...but the suction is so strong I have wrecked the impeller twice. No charge. The filter system is complex and is covered under service plan luckily. The external filter is $50 which is spendy. Great videos!!

[@vick2303]

What is the name of the simplicity version and is it the same price as this

[@jeremyb9835]

These machines are really powerful for any carpet! It got the most sand than any vacuum you tested. 😲

[@VacuumWars]

Yep, it was crazy!

[@rjfloyd8792]

I just bought a Simplicity Synergy for $75 +40 for shipping from eBay.can’t wait for it to get here!!

[@nakishajenkins7320]

I have the Radiance and it’s worth the price. It has a 7 stage HEPA MEDIA Filtrarion system, which I can appreciate, especially now that we have a dog. My last Riccar lasted more than 10yrs., I think this model will last longer.

[@Steve-sn9wh]

Been waiting for this review.. great job!!!

[@slbl88]

i love my radiance, its my go to vac and i have kirby's and many others and i fill the bag so quickly with this vacuum, and durability for me is not an issue i take good care of this vac and get it serviced yearly to protect my investment, this vac make easy work of cleaning with four dogs in the house

[@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266]

I would be afraid to use this because it’s so expensive 😂

[@komitadjie]

Use the *crap* out of it, these are MADE to be used extensively, and ask for more. Plus serviceable, and with good parts availability, plus the excellent warranty. It's one of those things where you paid a chest-clutching amount to get the quality, and you can actually use it without worry!

[@CaitlinBrooksMusic]

I can’t believe the Riccar R40 is a “non-commercial”. I think it can be a commercial model. There’s a Riccar R40 the place I work at, which I can’t name. It is a very impressive machine.

[@vacuumnut8300]

Thank you for the great review. Usually, the cost listed on the Riccar site for the vacuum can be reduced by $200 or more if you go to your local Riccar store. I recently purchased the Simplicity Symmety Ulta Premium. The double stage fan has great suction.

[@Sean-yr9fg]

Glad to finally see an honest review on this machine

[@Dragandspinn]

Okay Im a Kirby ambassador, and have feelings about my vacuum similar to my children. But I'm not comprehending the difference between airflow and suction. Having said that this machine looks amazing.

[@Damitsall]

I wish these Vacuum Shop type brands would focus more on hard floors. If they did I'd buy one, but it seems like they are more for carpets.

[@pierredoe9368]

[@deblugai9798]

I have a friend who let me rent it from his store, he let me rent it for a day, it works amazingly!

[@Egress.]

The above 100% pickup is likely due to dust and carpet fibers that the brush roll beats out. Some sand is left but not much.

[@npmusic7145]

lol imagine telling the dude who designed and measured this test where the extra sand was from.

[@sdkime01]

Omg you left out the best part! The vacuum actually lies flat for getting under furniture! You just have to press the release pedal again and it will go totally flat. Try it out! Love your vids they helped me pick out this vacuum but the model right below it.

[@FredX1919]

I always thought it would be interesting to do an edge deep cleaning somehow to see how well it deep cleans edges and corners.

[@jTempVids]

The Kenmore doesn't actually have 2 suction motors like the Riccar. I'm pretty sure Kenmore is counting the motor inside of the brushroll as the 2nd motor. You may want to look into this.

[@Egress.]

I believe it does have 2 suction motors

[@jTempVids]

@@Egress. I can't find anything that says it actually has 2 different suction motors. I'm still pretty sure they are including the brushroll motor as the second motor. All I can find is Kenmore saying it has a "beltless 3D inducer motor with a direct-drive brushroll motor. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKGwl4mEiJ1ohck Kenmore's advertising and specifications are very confusing. They say things like: "3D Inducer Motor combines the power of three motors that gives you 20% more air power than a conventional upright vacuum while never losing suction." I've read multiple websites and reviews. Most are just guessing. They all vary saying the vacuum has 1, 2, or 3 motors. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKGwl4mEiJ1ohck www.kenmore.com/products/kenmore-elite-31150-bagged-upright-vacuum-cleaner-silver/ www.amazon.com/Kenmore-Allergy-Friendly-Beltless-Upright/dp/B075DZY7FR I may be wrong, but it would require Kenmore to chime in or someone to take one apart and see what it's using for suction.

[@friendlyone2706]

@@Egress. "Suction" motor means deliberately increases air flow. The Kenmore turns the brush; it does not have a fan system attached as does the S40.

[@LlyleHunter]

I know that they’re very costly but in time I’d like to see a review on the Aerus Guardian Platinum and the more basic Aerus Classic Canister. A Guardian Upright review would be icing on the cake.

[@vacman11]

the Miele with 236 brush will be the best testing can

[@LlyleHunter]

A Miele will last about twenty years. My American made Electrolux (now Aerus is now forty years old and one that is in the family is seventy years old. My Kirby is forty seven years old. We have Electrolux and Aerus machines in our family that range from twenty to seventy years in age and Kirby machines that range from fifteen to sixty years in age. I also have a new Riccar. If there’s one area where American manufacturing still excels it’s in high line appliances ex Sub Zero, Wolf, Blue Flame, Viking, Kitchenaid stand mixers, etc where you can buy your last one first.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

This is the kind of vacuum I imagine Ferrier owners own. Beautiful vacuum.

[@billydarley6925]

i own a turbo pt. id gladly save up for one of these if its the last vacuum ill ever need to own but im thinking the kenmore elite will suit me just as well for far less money. in fact for the difference in price, i could pay to have the kenmore serviced multiple times or just buy new ones.

[@billydarley6925]

@@Mrcaffinebean it's a sweet car but 230hp is far too much for front wheel drive. Should have been all wheel drive, then it would hook and book a lot better.

[@icare7151]

Unlike my new Riccar Radiance Premium R40P.2 @ $1600, which tips over at times when using hose and tools, my older Kirby G4 in real world use is superior in all applications compared to my top of the line Riccar. The Riccar hose and attachments leak air, the cheap plastic fittings don’t fit tightly throughout, and I end up using my Kirby to clean up all the missed dirt my new Riccar Radiance Premium R40P leaves behind especially with hose and attachments. You can pick up an older fully refurbished G4 or newer Kirby, use Kirbys new HEPA bags and save $$ and get superior cleaning. Riccar is “assembled” in the USA with cheap imported parts that do not fit well and frankly fall apart not to mention those that are defective from day one. The “new Riccar design” is using common parts from other lines they assemble under different names and a color change. I wanted to try a lighter weight vacuum and fell for the all the glitzy bell and whistle sensors and two motor scam. If you want a dust free, decade lasting, superior quality and performance with much lower cost of ownership vacuum cleaner, go with Kirby using their HEPA bags.

[@jasonkernjr5343]

2 things this vacuum needs: suction adjustment and anti hair wrap.

[@user-ds5xd1ug9c]

it has suction adjustment and the brush-roll is designed in such a way that hair wont wrap around it.

[@npmusic7145]

@@user-ds5xd1ug9c The brushroll is NOT designed in such a way that hair will not wrap around it. In fact, this vacuum has a pretty tremendous amount of hair wrappage (is that a word?). The lower end versions of the tandem air have brush rollers that are a glossy chrome type with 1 less row of bristles. Hair wraps around those MUCH less frequently. The suction adjustment is the dial on the back of the unit.

[@DeadKoby]

Once you have a top end vacuum, you stop messing around with the other stuff. Riccar is top notch. I use a central vac /w/ a Lindhaus head.... and recently bought a used Lindhaus to resell.

[@WritingFighter]

If you haven't found out by now, the aluminum wand will lose its firmness and get loose/rattly with use after only a few years; it's not very secure. You won't lose suction I don't think but it is extremely annoying to have a wobbly tip. (I got a refurbished older/more basic model with most of the same tech just without bells and whistles and noted the fiddly wand. I got a new one with my purchase.) I do need the deep clean on carpet between two cats and battling fleas right now. The model I have is also a lot lighter, I estimate by at least 5-6 lbs or more. Also they might be a bit needy in the maintenance category in the same way a performance sports car might.

[@sebo_man_2072]

If you go to a authorized vacuum shop you can find it for a lot cheaper and making it a better deal.

[@PerformanceReviews]

So true!

[@superspeeder]

In this instance, a powerful vacuum with a very stiff bristled brushroll, have you ever looked at the debris in the bag to see if the vacuum is removing actual carpet bristles when it scores so high (135%)? Hard to imagine a vacuum scoring significantly more than 100% over and over, and convincing myself it just keeps finding more and more dirt.

It is always worth checking out your local dealer for deals and specials and the service you get through a dealer is second ro none versus getting something through amazon where you may or may not get good service and even so you end up shipping your machine out to who knows where and they just send you back a refurbished unit and no more warranty after that.

[@thegr8schlotzky]

Great review! I have to say though, your airflow numbers seem low from what I've seen online. I have an older simplicity tandem vacuum that looks virtually identical to this and found it difficult to seal to my airflow box due to the rug plate design, but once I got it sealed, I measured just barely shy of 100cfm with both motors on, and 76 cfm in hard floor mode.

[@Blackheartvacs]

the plate is somewhat difficult to get a good seal on it seems. I did get about 99 cfm with the brushroll on and like 80 with it off.

[@vacuumtests9225]

Very impressive vacuum for sure. However I think that two motor design doesn't have any benefits. I have measured Vorwerk VK 135 to have 100 cfm from the cleaning head and suction was also very impressive. Much more than the Riccar. Vorwerk uses only one motor. It seems to me that Riccar has superior cleaning head design to deep clean well. Well done video like always :)

[@VacuumWars]

Yes I tend to agree that the extra motor was probably less important than their head design, but still both were needed. I would like to test one of those Vk 135! It looks like an interesting vacuum.

[@sarahsmith1575]

I think that vacuum is the best dragon you could possibly buy what's a bag but you know how you said direct aermotor I've always thought that if you said something or drop like a big wood chip or a large now I'm afraid that the nail get walked in there where they would stop the fan from moving so the motor we didn't turn it off fast enough would sit there and hum until I smoke and caught fire like one of those HP videos where he destroys vacuums so yeah Fair Motors in the past sorry 😲

"premium vacuum cleaner" Looks like it was designed in the 1980's. C'mon...for these prices I know their design team could at least make it look better than a 40 year old Orek

[@jortega61924]

Joe Joe expensive doesn’t mean quality.

[@AznUzer]

jortega61924 yeah, look at the US healthcare

[@ericchandler90]

At least no one would steal it, unless they were familiar with the brand.

This looks like the simplicity version. The previous riccar looks much better

My Riccar Radiance Premium R40P is total junk. My 1997 Kirby G4 with Kirby HEPA bags pick up massive dirt and dust my $1600 Riccar leaves behind every time. Riccar uses cheap imported parts that don’t fit, expensive to replace and cost of ownership goes up really fast. For me, Kirby is the best value and awesome performance year after year. Riccar truly sucks on all levels except for all the dirt and dust it leaves behind. Go with Kirby.

Built like tanks 💯.

If it still has the standard noise maker that is added to all vacuum cleaners to artificially make then obnoxiously loud then I don't think it's very luxurious.

Hello, When do you estimate the video on the Kenmore Elite's Deep cleaning problem be released and will it be a comparison video with the Riccar 40 Premium ? I only ask because Sears stores in the Chicago area are closing left and right. We just saw a local Sears Hardware store liquidating. I am considering both models. Thanks for the work you all do!

Please review the new roomba s9+!!!

[@bluesky-ud9wg]

Buy a CIRRUS CR99. I've had mine for 9 years, amazing and it's "only" $550

Hand tools are really important to me because I clean ceiling to floor and corner to corner at least once per week. I vacuum my floors mostly every day. I grew up with a Kirby and an Electrolux and I’m usually disappointed with most manufacturer’s hand tools. Richard has some of the nicest accessory packs that I’ve ever seen.

[@LlyleHunter]

That’s Riccar not Richard

[@LlyleHunter]

Spellcheck. I only use my iPhone on social media

[@hfcobra]

Any chance for a Miele C3 Brilliant review? Still can't believe the Kenmore is bad for deep cleaning with those stats. I wonder why.

[@friendlyone2706]

Money saved on features customers rarely look at---like brush roll design.

[@andrewkojima9530]

Please review the new iRobot Mop and iRobot s9

[@YoBoyEli1]

I love the channel🤣

[@BobsEVGarage]

What is the difference in design between a direct air motor, and the alternative. Why do direct air motors lack suction?

[@CM-po3vl]

This is the vacuum I have. I have the ability to get a Sebo X7, would the Sebo clean my carpet as well or better than the Riccar?
