NOS Riccar Impeccable canister vacuum

[Ant_Tenna]

Found this on Facebook Marketplace for a great deal and the seller was very gracious enough to ship it to me. I'm more into the typical European canister offerings but I love these old full size Riccar/Simplicity canisters. Its a shame Tacony got rid of them and an even bigger shame they tried to replace them with the IMO comparatively terrible Prima/Wonder. Very excited to have this! I had an older Simplicity S38 that I enjoyed but this is a much smoother and quieter machine. I love the raw suction power and excellent agitation these have.

Score ! I have a Riccar 1700, which is really really close to this model but a bit older and made in Korea. Super solid vacuum. The power nozzle is a wee bit crude sounding and feeling but it cleans as well as any power nozzle made. I like the hoses, wand and attachments on these. So much nicer to use than our two Mieles. It is one of those vacuums that doesn't make you bust a sweat or work around weird quirks to clean your home well. Stick with genuine Riccar synthetic dust bags. The Envirocare bags leave a round circle of dust on the bottom of the bag chamber right under the hose entrance.
