Frequently Asked Questions
How strong is the suction on the Riccar Clean Air?
The Riccar Clean Air uses a powerful motor that delivers strong, consistent suction across all floor types. It doesn’t list a specific Pascal rating, but in real-world use it picks up deeply embedded dirt from carpets and fine debris from hard floors without losing suction as the bin fills.
How does the Riccar Clean Air handle pet hair?
It handles pet hair very well thanks to its tangle-free brush roll and strong airflow. The brush roll resists hair wrapping, so you won’t have to stop and cut hair off the bristles mid-clean, and the suction pulls hair from both carpets and upholstery effectively.
How loud is the Riccar Clean Air during operation?
It operates at a moderate noise level, typically around 70 to 75 decibels. That’s comparable to a standard upright vacuum—loud enough to hear it running across the house, but not so loud that you need ear protection for normal cleaning sessions.
What are the key features of the Riccar Clean Air?
Key features include a sealed HEPA filtration system that traps 99.97% of particles, a tangle-free brush roll, and a large-capacity dirt bin that holds about 1.5 quarts. It also has a manual carpet height adjustment and a long 35-foot power cord for reaching across rooms without switching outlets.
Who is the Riccar Clean Air best for?
It’s best for homeowners with allergies or asthma who need a vacuum with true HEPA filtration and strong carpet cleaning. It’s also a solid choice for families with pets, thanks to the tangle-free brush roll and effective hair pickup.
