Hello, We inherited a Riccar R-40, like the Title says. It looks perfect, hardly a mark on it. I think they were too weak to use it much since it's heavy. The local Riccar Dealer told us the used value to them is only around $45. They claimed the "P2" revision had lots of issues.
Is this Vacuum really problematic? I looked it up and it was a lot of money ($1500) when new. I restore Vacuums as a hobby and sell "some". My Hobby is completely out-of-control as I have too many Vacuums. I'd like to fix any issues with the Riccar R-40 but the Dealer wouldn't comment what they are. I don't want to sell it to anyone IF it's a lemon. It seems to work really well for the little time we used it.
