    Selling My Riccar Impeccable

    Because it's heavy, and I have stairs, and I need an upright, and 3 hours is too far to drive for service. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/172186857664?ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:IT

    See my new vacuum

    Thought I would save this for a new thread. So excited. It is an amazing machine. My floors are happy and so am I. We decided we needed the full size canister. I still want an upright machine but this baby can do Anything. Sorry Tom but I couldnt wait for the Prima. Maybe someday. Thanks again...

    update...Got to see my first Riccar canister today.

    Oh Happy Day Indeed.! The Prima lives! These oughta sell like hotcakes. I found a shop in Aspen (30 miles out) that sells the Maytag m1200 I am contemplating that one for those quick pick ups throughout the day. Still am going with the Prima as soon as you give the word, Tom. Thank you for the...

    Dan. Yes. Thank you. I know and refuse to do business with him. Obviously he is uninformed or just making stuff up to get rid of my questions he has no answers to. Argh. Cannot make it to MO just yet. Any other suggestions. Any dealers here willing to ship. Thanks.

    update...Got to see my first Riccar canister today.

    Bear. with me I called the shop we visited on Friday and the owner said that the Prima did exist but they are sitting in a shipping container somewhere out of the country and havent been released to the public. I asked if he knew when they may be available to purchase and he doesnt know. I am...

    update...Got to see my first Riccar canister today.

    We took the 2 hour drive in hopes of bringing a new vac home. Didnt happen. I was hoping to see the new Prima but that is definitely not happening. Anyway. The owner insisted that there was no Prima, it was a Pizazz and he would have to put in a call on Monday to get a price for me. I did not...

    Hard decision

    A few more questions Planning a trip to a vac shop a couple hours away. Until then...I am almost certain I will go with a canister. I am leaning heavily towards a Riccar. Just wondering if the Aerus Platinum is going to be less durable ( for me) than the Riccar canisters. As far as I have seen...

    Hard decision

    I'll confess. And in my defence let me say that it is because of our small space. When I get into a corner or other small space and because my canister is metal and heavy, I give it a swift kick to back myself out of a corner or a small room. What else can I do? Looking forward to having a...

    Hard decision

    Ah. And see that was also what I was wondering. How noisy of a machine is the Riccar (Upright or canister) Compared to the Aerus?

    Hard decision

    Thank You Gary and Mike. Now I have a new problem. I just watched a video showing a Riccar upright, the Brilliance premium and now I am trying to talk myself out of an upright. Anyone want to help me. When I first started my search I was stuck on having an upright for convenience sake. (8 people...

    Hard decision

    Thanks for the tips. Like I mentioned I was hoping to stay around $1500 and not willing to pay $3000. I do have sense to not buy anything off the shelf at the local wallys. As far as rebuilding this old machine, which in fact my husband has suggested, I do then have some concerns. I am...

    Hard decision

    I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through several threads and have learned a ton. I own a couple older Electrolux canisters (super j I think) and am looking to invest in a newer vacuum to last a good few decades. I have been mulling over this purchase for almost 2 years buying my time with a new...
