Riccar R27 Premium Upright Review: Real-World Cleaning Performance by A to Z Vacuum
Looking for a truly powerful and durable upright vacuum to tackle both carpets and hardwood floors? Scott Light, owner of A to Z Vacuum & Fan in Wyomissing, PA, puts the Riccar R27 Premium through its paces in a thorough, real-world test—and the results impress on every level.
Superior Cleaning for Carpets and Hard Floors
Here we demonstrate why the Riccar R27 Premium is an ideal solution for homes with a mix of flooring. The R27P’s aggressive steel agitator ensures deep carpet cleaning, while six swivel rubber wheels and a soft felt strip let it glide effortlessly across bare floors without scratching or leaving dust behind. Key takeaway: this vacuum performs as well—or better—than most canister vacuums on hard surfaces.
Unique Safety and Usability Features
The importance of agitation for carpet cleaning and explains the vacuum’s multiple brush roll settings: high agitation for deep carpet, a gentle mode for area rugs, and a brush-off mode perfect for bare floors. For added peace of mind, the R27P disables agitation whenever the handle is upright, preventing accidental damage to cords or floors.
Smart Dirt Detection Technology
A standout feature is the LED indicator lights on the front of the vacuum, which let users know when dirt is present and alert them once the floor is clean. This smart technology helps prevent wasted effort and ensures no spot gets missed.
Comprehensive Tool Set and Filtration
The R27P’s array of onboard attachments: a stretch hose, a telescopic wand for high corners, a self-cleaning upholstery tool for pet hair, a natural bristle dusting brush, and an extra-long crevice tool. The Riccar R27 Premium also leads in air filtration, using a charcoal-lined, top-loading bag, a charcoal rock filter for odor control, and an S-class HEPA filter to meet hospital-grade standards.
Durability and Warranty
The Riccar R27 Premium boasts a lifetime belt warranty—the belt is designed never to stretch, tear, or break. If a jam occurs, the vacuum automatically stops the brush, flashes a red light, and resets itself once cleared. For added value, the R27P comes with a 5-year warranty and includes two free services within five years.
Final Thoughts
The Riccar R27 Premium is not just another upright vacuum—it’s a professional-grade machine built for homes with both carpets and hard floors. With advanced features, robust filtration, and unmatched durability, it stands out as a top investment for those who want cleaner air and spotless floors.
