Our verdict
Riccar suits US buyers who want upright and cordless stick cleaning with a spare parts shop for long-term upkeep, and it separates itself by staying out of robots and wet-dry models. Cordless runtime of 40 minutes makes it the pick for larger homes per charge.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry pricing of $69.99 puts the cheapest machines within reach, ranking 10 of 65 brands on price at entry
- Cordless runtime of 40 minutes on the cordless stick vacuum covers larger homes without a trailing cable
- A spare parts shop is available, so filters, bags and wear parts can be bought directly from the brand
- A warranty of 5 years backs long ownership rather than the opening months
Cons
- The listed product types are upright, stick and handheld, so robot and wet-dry buyers have to look at a different brand
- Support runs on help centre only, so anyone wanting phone or email help has fewer routes
- The flagship at $1,899.99 ranks 64 of 66 brands, putting the top of the range near the back of the field
- Sales and shipping cover US, so the catalogue is confined to a single market
Who it suits
- Households in the US shopping uprights and cordless sticks who want pet-focused reference models
- Owners who plan to keep a vacuum for years and value a 5 year warranty and a spare parts shop
- Renters wanting a cordless stick with 40 minutes of runtime and an entry price of $69.99
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers set on a robot vacuum, since Hoover, Ewbank and Daewoo Electricals all list robot and wet-dry formats that Riccar does not
- Shoppers outside US, where the catalogue is not sold and terms would need checking
- Anyone who needs to speak to someone on the phone or by email, as help centre is the only channel listed
How it compares on our data
Price at entry is where Riccar reads strongest. The stick and handheld floor starts at $69.99, which places the brand at 10 of 65 brands ranked on entry price, so the cheapest machines sit near the affordable front of this group. The top of the range tells the opposite story. Uprights reach $1,899.99, and that figure leaves the brand at 64 of 66 brands on flagship price. Both rankings come from the same pool of brands, so the contrast is a real one rather than an artefact of different sets. That split is worth holding onto at the till. A reader looking only at the entry number will read Riccar as a budget brand, and the flagship number shows it is not one. Anyone budgeting for a premium upright should price that machine first and treat the entry figure as a much smaller, separate purchase.
Core features
The headline spec is cordless runtime. A cordless stick vacuum in the range runs for 40 minutes, and that is the figure that decides whether a wireless machine can finish a floor or needs a top-up partway through a session. Ownership is backed by a warranty of 5 years, and a spare parts shop is available, so filters, bags and wear parts can be bought directly rather than through a general appliance supplier. For anyone keeping the same machine for years, that matters as much as the suction figure on the box. The catalogue covers upright, stick and handheld machines, so the range is built around traditional floor care rather than the robot category, and the three formats share the same parts and warranty approach.
The company behind it
Riccar is headquartered in the United States and lists US as its market, so the catalogue, pricing and warranty terms all sit inside a single national market rather than a broad international one. Buyers elsewhere should plan around shipping and import costs rather than expecting local service. Support is the narrower side of the picture. The listed channel is help centre, which puts most answers in written self-service material. If you prefer to speak to someone, that is the part of the picture where the brand asks you to do more of the work yourself, so it is worth reading the manuals before buying.

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest Riccar vacuum cost?+
The stick and handheld floor starts at $69.99, which places Riccar at 10 of 65 brands ranked on entry price. That figure is the starting price for a machine on its own, not a bundle, so budget for bags and filters separately as they wear.
How much does the top of the Riccar range cost?+
Uprights reach $1,899.99 at the flagship end, which puts Riccar at 64 of 66 brands on flagship price. Buyers on a tight budget should look at the stick and handheld range rather than the premium uprights, where the ceiling is much higher.
How long does the cordless Riccar stick vacuum run?+
The cordless stick vacuum in the range is listed at 40 minutes of runtime. That is the figure to check against the size of your home, since an open-plan floor or a house with several floors can need more than a single charge to finish.
Does Riccar make robot vacuums?+
The listed product types are upright, stick and handheld, which covers uprights, sticks and handhelds. Robot and wet-dry shoppers should look at Hoover, Ewbank or Daewoo Electricals, each of which lists robot and wet-dry formats alongside the traditional types.
Which countries does Riccar sell in?+
Riccar is headquartered in the United States and lists US as its market, so prices such as $69.99 are single-market figures. Availability outside that market is not part of the listed range, which means shipping and warranty terms would need checking before buying abroad.
How long is the Riccar warranty?+
The warranty on Riccar vacuums runs for 5 years. That length, together with the spare parts shop, means filters, bags and other wear items can be bought directly from the brand rather than through a general appliance supplier, which keeps running costs easier to track.
What support does Riccar offer?+
The listed support channel is help centre, so most help comes through written self-service material. Buyers who need to speak to someone directly have fewer routes here than at brands listing phone or email support, so it pays to check a manual question before buying.
Can I buy replacement parts from Riccar?+
Yes, a spare parts shop is available for the range. Combined with a 5 year warranty, that keeps filters, bags and other consumables available over the life of the machine, which matters most if you plan to keep one vacuum for years.
