Riccar Supralite Cordless Vacuum R10CV Review - Wow!

- The Riccar Supralite R10Cv may be costly but there are certainly a lot of things to like about it. It has the most powerful cordless vacuum I know of, it has the best battery life, and its carpet performance might be the best in the business. It's not all good news with the Riccar Supralite cordless but I think it may be worth the cost, especially if you have a lot of carpets in your home.
Here is a link to the Riccar Supralite on Riccar's website:

I love how many great vacuums have both styling and marketing that looks straight out of the 1980-2000s. XD
I’ve had this vacuum for about 1 1/2 years. Previously owned the corded version that I had for 12 years. That vacuum still works perfectly, I passed it along to family when I got this new one. First, I paid just less than $400. I knew value/quality from previous model. This vacuum is a dream. It quiet works so well and the weight and size allows you to use it ways you just wouldn’t. Example stairs; not only is it light enough but the size fits a stair plus it’s so light you can pick up and do the sides. I don’t have to charge it often and since it uses large sealed bags there is no mess or smell. I love this thing.
In the UK this is sold as the Truvox Valet battery upright, and is aimed at commercial users. We use one where I work, and the vacuum has spent longer out of order than actually working. Hard floors wear out the small wheels on the front of the soleplate , and once they wear down they simply snap off altogether and then the soleplate drags over the hard floors and this in turn wears down the soleplate and brushroll very rapidly. These are great when the bag is empty, but once it starts filling, it makes the vacuum much heavier to lift, depending on the sort of dirt being sucked up, you simply cannot fill the large bags to capacity as the machine loses too much airflow , and becomes heavy to push round. Parts are expensive and the rate the soleplate wheels keep wearing down, we use a soleplate every few months - it gets expensive on replacement parts.
Also, the battery is not fade free, and after about 30 minutes of use, the motor gradually starts slowing down, you can hear it, and it loses power.
We have also found the handle is creaky, squeeky and has a sloppy fit into the bag housing, giving a feeling of a really cheap and nasty machine - and cheap it certainly was not, as the UK version of this machine (made by Tacony, and sold through their UK arm, Truvox), comes in at over £400.
Having used one of these for 2 years I simply cannot really recommend them for extensive hard floor use unless you use them on mainly short pile carpet, where they dont do too badly. Although they are sold in the UK as a commercial machine, they simply are not built robustly enough to do commercial vacuuming, and we are forever having to wait around for new soleplates for ours, depending then on our Numatic Henry, which is a quarter of the price of a R10CV.
U won't catch him replying to something like this. It hurts his sponsorship
@@AverageReviewsYT What sponsorship? In the beginning he says its not sponsored and he purchased this himself.
@@allie9239 lol sarcasm
Thanks for the detailed critique, definitely helpful!
Thanks for the review, I had never heard of Riccar before but when I saw this, I knew I had to buy it! Lightweight, cordless, high power, and most importantly, bagged so I don’t have to deal with a filthy dustbin and filter maintenance! I have been occasionally watching vacuum reviews for a couple years just so I would know what to look for when my despised current bagless upright finally died. After seeing this, I’m not waiting, I’m replacing it right away!
I am a Riccar dealer and agree this unit is impressively powerful and hands down the most durable cordless vacuum on the market. Interestingly, Riccar has made this same exact model in a corded version (R10S) that we have seen last customers in excess of 10 years with very few failures so we KNOW this corldess R10CV will give our customers a very reliable life. The battery is rated for 500 hours. Yes 500! That's almost 10 years if you vacuum 1 hour a week. My customers LOVE this vacuum! We have them priced very competitively with Dyson cordless so don't be scared away by the MSRP.
I have so many commercial clients using these cv's and sure, they can break them. (Those angry workers break every ) but they hold up really well, as well as an r10s. No complaints from anyone
Hey, wanted to thank you for these videos. I work at a store that sells vacuum cleaners as a decent chunk of their business. Even though I don't make commission, your videos have helped tremendously in keeping my recommendations accurate and concise.
Since I started watching a bunch of your videos, everyone I have helped decide what to buy has been much more happy with their decision, and didn't have to spend a very long time thinking about it to feel like that had all the information they needed.
And for those who need to convince their spouse that it's worth spending $600 for something like a Dyson v11 over a $100 Bissel, I always recommend your channel. So far it's worked every time!
Great review, you pretty much hit the pros and cons right on the head. I've sold quite a few of these and literally never had a complaint about them... and vacuums that customers love are a win in my book!
Really appreciate the table comparisons and the tests themselves, you are the go to vacuum comparison channel, and I recently bought a shark based of your review, cheers.
I have had this vacuum for about a year now and recommend it highly. Had the exact model that was 13 years old and still going strong. (Son was thrilled to receive the hand me down). The new vacuum has all the great things of the old one but the grab and go cordless convenience on a full size machine. It seems like the battery lasts much longer than an hour. Never run out doing the whole house (3500 sq) plenty to spare. I’ve never had to stop and recharge. And it recharges quickly.
We have two of these at my job, and I love them! The LED lighting is great for when I clean in the bathrooms since the lighting is dimmer in some areas, it works great on old rugs and hard floors!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this great review and many others!!!
We own a corded Riccar and love it! The USA build quality is second to none which is why we are now looking at purchasing a second vacuum that is cordless for in-between sweeping jobs, etc.. We also own a cordless Hoover Lynx (10 years and still going) but looking for something with more power. After watching so many reviews on the stick vacuums like Dyson, Shark, etc.. I believe Riccar Supralite is superior minus the cons that were described in this review!
This was a very unique vacuum cleaner! Amazing review as always!
THANK YOU! I was concerned about my Riccar's air quality, but not anymore. I love my Riccar vaccum, worth the price.
I'd like to point out that you can buy the "tornado roam" on Amazon for 437$ it's. The same vacuum, just black and a commercial target
Ok, i was in a local vac n sew looking for a cordless upright. He says $470.00 and he will throw in 2 6 packs of bags if i buy today..i head to my car biting my nails, and thn i watched this review. THANK YOU VACUUM WARS!!
This is the best cleaning vacuum i have ever owned, and its cordless!!..After this video, I went in and made the deal...no regrets. I kept my dyson to do 1500 sq ft of hard floors and furniture, but i have 2000 sq ft of med/high pile carpet. Some times i do whole house with the Riccar, and it actually does great on tile and area rugs,its just that the dyson has a swivell head and is narrower , so it can get into tighter places. The Riccar is much more powereful and faster everywhere..Cordless is the way to go, it is so convenient!..fyi..I barely use half the bars when cleaning whole house, which takes about 20 to 25 minutes..❤❤❤❤❤
We bought one of these at Good Will for $75. The brush roll was seized, missing belt, and the plastic cover has the lens busted out, and the motor was grinding. Got everything fixed except for the cover. Can still return it but since I have lots of time into it along with replacing the motor bearings, I may keep it. Battery cost is crazy but it still works. Takes 12 - 18650 cells in series so I should be able to rebuild it when the time comes. Not near as powerful as our corded model but very convenient to use. Since Riccar/Simplicity Vacuums in this line are "Direct Air" design, all the dirt and debris goes through the Fan. Because of this design, there is no way you can have attachments. Wife loves this Vacuum over the others we own. Excellent review you have done.
cool!
I just got this very one for $8.99 at goodwill😳 and it works. All I had to do for it was order a belt and some bags. Crazy that someone donated this.
I would love to see a review of the cordless Hustone upright from Hoover commercial
Me too!!!
Can't wait for the next version
Thanks for another great video! I'd be interested in seeing you test some more of the Chinese cordless vacs found on Amazon like the Aposen 18 kpa and how they stack up against the Moosoo 17kpa. I have a feeling many of the reviews might be fake so I'd love an honest review of the Aposen and others. My goal is to find a sealed hepa cordless vacuum with great suction for under $140
Great Video. I'm very impressed with its suction. Keep in mind that this is a full size vacuum. We sell them at our store and the Simplicity Battery operated upright. The Simplicity comes with a wooden roller brush, while the Riccar comes with a Metal as seen in this video. The warranty's are the same and yes, the battery comes with a full 2 yr warranty.
Can you do a Miele review?
Love this vacuum. It’s extremely powerful and built to last. Next to my Kirby, this is my favorite vacuum I have ever owned. Can’t use the Kirby much because it’s too heavy for me, so this is my daily use vacuum.
I’ve wanted this forever and you just reminded me about it uhhhhh
I’m looking forward to your review of the Proscenic M7. I am considering transitioning from me Shark 101AE and Roomba M6 to a one in all unit.
This may be hard. But can you review like 3 garage Vacs or wall mounted ones? Like the prolux, Hoover guv, bissell, and vacmaid?
Wall mounted reviews - would be amazing, although we should understand that it's not just buy and test kind of setup... tho I think some kind of rig could be crafted for this purpose...
Built in vacuums really are as good as it gets in my opinion. Well I guess certain brands might be better. However they make a literal boat load of noise, and there are loads of people that hate noise. All their power comes from a huge motor on the top of the unit, and everything is an attachment with them making them the best choice if you own a house. Only down side is the price, and installation. Getting the pipe and the outlets installed around the house for the hose is quite costly, unless you plan to do it all yourself. We used to have a built in vacuum system back in our old house, and it really was the cream of the crop.
I'm a Riccar dealer and their central vacuum (or wall mount system) is one of the best in our experience in sales, repair, and installation of of central vacuum systems. :) I would stay far away from Electrolux systems (or prolux). Hoover is owned by a Chinese company and the brand is quickly going down the tubes plus most dealers are canceling them as warranty service providers (as I will be this year). I'm not aware that Bissell makes a central vacuum but I could be wrong. Vacmaid appears to be only a set up for exclusively direct plug in at the unit so it's possibly under powered for use in a whole house piped system. Any other questions just ask!
@@richardsvacuumcenter i seriously think all new homes should be built with the plumbing for a central vac system. if i were to ever build myself a custom home it would be setup for a large wet/dry vac as its central system. i know that would be too much power but thats easily solved with an adjustable relief window at the wand.
@@billydarley6925 wet/dry vacs have decent power, but not even close to a good quality central vacuum with a 3 stage tangential by-pass motor.
Cool! Thanks for posting. I enjoyed seeing it
I've been watching your channel and i've decided to get a robot vaccum but i can't decide which to get over the roborock s5 max or the neato D7 (they're about THE same Price where im from).
I've got two dogs if that makes any difference.
Thanks, Keep the content comming!
think you'll do any more air purifier comparisons? very interested, but the three you compared earlier were on the pricier side, and there are a buttload of units at much cheaper. hard to navigate that market as there aren't a ton of reliable scientific reviews like yours out there. love the channel and can't stop watching for some reason lol
I have one, paid about $400, love it! Zipping around without a cord is fantastic :)
Where did you find ghe price?
Currently looking at this cordless style. Where did you find one for $400?
You need to do a Riccar Vs Lupe video! Fight to the death!
You should do a comparison with the ProTeam commercial cordless. I'm very interested to see how this stacks up to the rest of the pack, especially since I considered this before buying the Riccar/Titan but couldn't find any testing on CZcams.
Hi! Is it possible to include in your reviews the Vorwerk Kobold line of vacuum cleaners?! Much appreciated. Cheers
You should check out the AEG FX9, its an interesting vacuum!
Would you please post the full model number and manufacturing date info from the tag on the head bottom and the battery voltage and watt hours from the label on the battery? I went to an Ortek store locally yesterday to look at that model. They had it, but there are significant differences despite the same name. They also were discounting it significantly, so I'm guessing it's a slightly older version of the same vacuum. It's a shame they use the same name. Differences noted were wood brush tube with non-removable brushes and battery removal requires removal of the bag shell and then two more screws. My model is R10CV 2. Beyond those differences, it looked the same. Now I'm curious if the suction is same. I'm going to post to their site to see if the metal brush is an option and if motor/suction are the same. Hopefully they will respond. Thanks in advance for and information. Thank you for your channel and your work and dedication to it!
Do you review central vacuums as well? We just replaced our motor with a Riccar and it's been amazing. It even has HEPA filtration and I didn't know they did that with central systems.
I've always loved their stuff. I can't believe how much more power this cordless unit has over the Dyson at an hour runtime. It is expensive, but vacuums seem to be one of those things you don't want to cheap out on. Kind of a "buy once, cry once" deal.
You should try and get your hands on a gtech air ram . Maybe not sold in America. But I think it would make a good video
Checkout the proscenic m7 pro, Lidar robot vacuum with self-emptying bin
What the best top 3 Upright vacuums in your opinion with a hose?
Sorry, are you planning to review windows cleaner such Hobot in the future? Thanks
But there are a lot of version of this on the market. Brands under the Tacony company. Sanitaire, Tornado, etc.
Can you review the Hoover ONEPWR Cordless FloorMate Jet please?
Wondering - do you ever do corded upright vacuum testing?
Hey, could you please do a re review on the sebo Felix. With the fog test and particle counter to see if its "safe". I bought mine after seeing your and other good reviews. But I get a dusty smell in the air after I use it, and I'm starting not to trust the filtration. Thanks!
What the best, most, reliable Upright vacuum for under $500?
Also what the best Oreck Upright in your opinion?
Also is it better to buy a quality New upright OR a higher end used Upright for the same amount of money? Like a Sebo
Are you going to do the proscenic M7 Pro (with the auto empty bin) it is the only self empty lidar I've seen
Can you do a comparison of this with the Hoover ONEPWR Hepa+ cordless bagged upright vacuum?
Yup. I now want one.
Hi, how was this compare to the Riccar Roam? That one claimed to have 40 mins battery life, don't know if it has the same suctional power and setting. There is limited info I could ever found online about that model.
Maybe Dyson could redesign the wand in the new V12(?) to incorporate a separate battery in the wand/head (in addition to the one on the vacuum itself) so it would last longer for floor cleaning!
VacCentral this is a great idea! Someone should definitely do this.
I've owned several conventional simplicity freedom vacuums which are the twin cousins of the ricard super light. They both We're pretty troublesome Due to the Very fragile plastic impeller fans And since they are direct suction machines where everything must go through the impeller before getting launched Into the bag. I once shattered the plastic impeller motor after sucking up 3 popcorn kernels. I know that's what did it because I had recently changed the bag and when I took it to my local Riccar / simplicity dealer Even he noted that when he cut open the bag it only had some fine dust, Some carpet fibers, 3 popcorn kernels and big chunks from the shattered fan.
What will you do Friday
I think this machines biggest competitor is gonna be the Oreck Elevate cordless, I’d love to see that one next.
whats the best stick vacuum for pet hair and large debris (kitty litter)?
I have the Riccar rsl5 super light. I love it better than the Oreck it replaced. Big fan of Riccar now.
Funny, there's a new "Oreck" his son launched called David, the vacuums are just rebranded Riccars plus a Sebo model. I would buy a David or Riccar any day over a TTI Oreck this day in time.
Good review om the battery
Thanks!
How loud was the vacuum? I didn’t see a decibel number like in other reviews.
Can you do a comparison btwn this vacuum and the david cordless upright?
Please test roidmi x20. It has won so many tests, and should be a big competitor to dyson v11. Keep up the good work!💪🏼😊
Can you recommend a light weight (small woman with fibromyalgia here) GOOD vacuum cleaner such as this one, bout without the hefty price tag? doesn't matter if it is cordless or corded
hy Vacuum Wars, did you test the german "Miele Scout" robot cleaners? i have made good exp with the normal vacuums and explicit with the cloth-washers. they are heavy, but they survive decades of intense use without errors. we have a Miele washer from 1950 and its still working great and they still support the repair parts in the company, so the service seem to be great.
but im a bit concerned on the vacuum-robot. it has some interesting mechanical abbilities, but i suspect, that his electronic is lacking. dosnt need to be the expensive Scout RX2 Home Vision - SLQL0 30 case. just pick one of the RX2?
I love the look and it sounds absolutely amazing but...
That price tag...
Im looking for an upright cordless vacuum with a decent battery and good on carpets.
Do you think you will review the Riccar R25 Pet Premium?
Can you please review the Karcher Upright vacuums? I can’t find a reliable review anywhere.
I bought a refurbished Roborock S4 on Amazon for 250€. Is it a good deal or should i cancel the order?
I upgraded to a shark lift away because of this channel. Was using a 50 dollar powerforce
I bought one of these for my cleaning business and I will NEVER go back to cordless. I'm going to equip every account with one. In just a few months, it's saved me days worth of hours and lots of cord frustration. One suggestion: since it's a passthrough motor, definitely install a magnetic bumper on the front for screws and paper clips.
Great input. Thank you for sharing.
@@VacuumWars I'd love to see you review the ProTeam FreeFlex cordless upright to see how it stacks up, and if it's worth the extra money. A lot of us who are in the cleaning industry rely on your reviews to help us make informed purchases. Thanks for doing what you do!
A cordless full upright interesting
Please test a Miele and a workhorse thank you!!
What is the noise level of this vacuum in dB?
Please review the wall mount vacuum systems for whole house
Central vacuums
How does it stack up against the Sebo cordless model?
How does this compare to the Hoover one power?
I work for a large vacuum dealer that carries Riccar and i will be passing this video on to my Riccar Rep on Monday. I feel that your feedback should be passed along to them directly.
Who own Riccar now? The sewing machine arm is part of Daiei now so is Riccar part of Daiei, independent, or a subsidiary of another appliance maker?
Vacuum wars which vacuum do you prefer? The Riccar supralite or the Dyson gen5 detect?
Could I please have your opinion on the Alfawise v10 Max? I can't afford a Roborock :-( The v10 Max specs look good, and it's a lot cheaper than a Roborock in Australia. Have you ever used one?
Please test the Riccar broom vaccum
Do you still like your other riccar vacuum
I want this vacuum 😍
This is probably the only cordless vacuum that could, conceivably replace a full sized mains powered vacuum imho. I say conceivably because of the lack of attachments, you'd need something else to clean upholstery and stuff like that. Also that price is something holding it back as well.
Hi vacuum wars, thank you for your hard work. Quick question. What is the noise level of the Riccar Supralite R10CV?
60-70DB They're not quiet.
@@PerformanceReviews wow, that is quite loud. Thank you.
What is the best for hard flour?
Can you review the LG Cordzero A9 ultimate?
How much do Riccar's usually go for?
What happened to Simplicity? They had some of the most powerful & quiet, some time ago. Now they only offer a much reduced model offering. Thanx for the great videos.
Tacony had a change in management, since then they cut the fullerbrush and maytag lines. Rebranded the cheaper fullerbrush line simplicity, riccar is the standalone premium brand which screwed the simplicity dealers, they designed a new clean air riccar and are making it in China. Tacony cut its USA manufacturing by over half now using the empty space to store there Chinese models and had a nasty parting of ways with the former museum curator. Unfortunately and as a simplicity and powrflite owner my self I don't think I'd buy another machine from the company. In my own experience it took over a month to get a $5 plastic cord holder for my powrflite backpack... sorry for the rant,just sucks to see an otherwise promising American company take a nose dive.
Can you do a review on Proscenic M7 Pro
I will never buy another vacuum without a HEPA bag.
I absolutely love my Kenmore 31140, and it’s not even a high end vacuum (in comparison to a Riccar)
I can vacuum ever inch of my house without ever getting into a sneezing fit
If I ever get a cordless vac, it MUST have a HEPA bag.
I will GLADLY pay more to avoid an allergy attack.
(I’ve had Sharks with washable HEPA filters. I sneeze within minutes of turning the vacuums on. You need a bagged vacuum to guarantee true HEPA filtration from start to finish)
Damn I might get one!
This is a direct-air upright hence why you don't have the attachments and why the airflow is so good. As far as the price, other offerings by Simplicity (same company) and Oreck are also $799. Oreck has the advantage of interchangeable batteries.
Current models of the R10CV have a quick change battery
Pro team freeflex review please
try the corded version
I would love to find an upright vacuum similar to this one quality wise, but *that has a hose as well* so that attachments can be used. And unless I missed it, you didn't give the total weight of the vacuum, nor how the charging system works. It would be really nice to have a spare battery pack that could be plugged in easily when the 1st one goes out on you if you have a heavy amount of vacuuming to do. And one more thing: it appears to have just one level of filtration. No pre filter or post filter?
Try Bosch Athlet
The lindhaus karisma and valzer l ion are coming out this year.
This is a great vacuum cleaner
Looks like sanitare is selling a rebadged version of this too
When will you post on Tuesday’s
The simplicity version is about $100-200 less and it’s the same thing. I believe the warranty is the same other than the maintenance visits.
The Simplicity also doesn't have the metal brushroll with replaceable bristles. It's a wooden roller.
Vacuum wars is even better on a 65” oled!
I can get one of these at my vacuum store for about $400
Or try contacting the Tacony Vacuum Museum directly (yes, they have a museum). I've gotten mine from them for about half sticker price. But even at half sticker, I still didn't think the battery powered Supralight was "a keeper". But the corded one is!
@@arevee9429 We Learned from the Past and Now Moving Towards the Future
While we have spent nearly 10 years as a fun tourist stop along Highway 44, we believe the time has come to close the iconic Vacuum Cleaner Museum located in St. James, Missouri.
With the various online and digital options available to vacuum enthusiasts, we were experiencing a decline in physical attendance at the museum. We have decided to redirect those resources to promote regional awareness of the Riccar and Simplicity brands being produced in the St. James facility.
With this move, the intent is to enhance local retailer support across the country, while providing broader access and a superior shopper experience for consumers seeking to purchase the Riccar and Simplicity brands from their local retailers. Given this announcement, the museum's last open day is Friday, April 26th, 2019.
Tacony Corporation and Tacony Manufacturing are committed to producing the same high-quality vacuums at our St. James facility as in previous years and look forward to seeing additional innovative products and community events flowing from our St. James location as we build our Riccar and Simplicity brands.
We are thankful to the local St. James and vacuum enthusiast community for the support you've provided us through the years, while we will miss being a roadside stop along Highway 44, we are excited about the next chapter of innovation and community involvement stemming from this facility and home floor care division.
THANK YOU for making this video! Its so hard to find reviews on Tacony products and with cordless vacs, power is make or break. I've been wanting to know how this compares to a corded upright to see oof its worth the money
That's because Tacony goes around threatening to sue
Why don't you test canisters?
