    New Riccar R40.8 failed after two uses

    New Riccar R40.8 failed after two uses

    Look I appreciate the opinions on Riccar. Again I’m looking for those that have experience with the latest revision of the R40. Supposedly the .8 revision corrected a lot of the issues with the model. I’m curious on others’ experiences with the same revision. I probably came to the wrong...

    New Riccar R40.8 failed after two uses

    Just curious if anyone else has had issues with Riccar’s latest revision of the R40 (the R40.8 variant)? I bought one the Friday before Christmas and used it to vacuum our living room (15x15) and then the tools with the turbo tandem brush roller head to do the stairs between my second, main and...
