Overview

The Riccar Tandem Air Deluxe Upright Vacuum (model R30D.6) is a high-end vacuum cleaner known for its powerful suction, durable construction, and effective filtration. Here are some key features and aspects to consider:

Key Features:

1. Tandem Air Technology: This model uses Riccar's Tandem Air Technology, which combines two motors—one for suction and one for airflow—allowing it to clean both carpets and hard floors effectively. This dual-motor system enhances deep cleaning performance, especially on high-pile carpets.

2. Multi-Stage Filtration: Equipped with a HEPA media filter, the vacuum captures up to 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. This is particularly beneficial for those with allergies or asthma, as it helps remove dust, pollen, and other allergens from the air.

3. Durable Build: The R30D.6 is built with high-quality materials, including a metal brush roll, a metal bottom plate, and a reinforced belt. This ensures a longer lifespan and less frequent maintenance.

4. Onboard Tools and Attachments: It comes with a variety of attachments, including a crevice tool, dusting brush, and upholstery tool. These tools are stored onboard for easy access and versatility.

5. LED Headlights: The vacuum features LED headlights, which help illuminate dark areas and under furniture, making it easier to spot hidden dirt and debris.

6. Adjustable Suction Settings: It offers variable suction settings, allowing you to customize the cleaning power based on the surface being cleaned. This is especially useful for delicate rugs or hard floors.

7. Advanced Cleaning Design: The vacuum includes a self-sealing HEPA media bag, which prevents dust and debris from escaping when replacing bags. Additionally, it has a full bag indicator and a filter replacement indicator.

Pros:

• Exceptional Cleaning Power: The Tandem Air Technology provides superior suction and airflow for deep cleaning.
• Great for Allergies: The multi-stage filtration, including a HEPA filter, makes it ideal for allergy sufferers.

• Weight: It is heavier than some other models, which might be challenging for those who prefer a lightweight vacuum.
• Bagged System: While the bagged system provides better filtration, it also means additional cost for purchasing replacement bags.
