Lots I love about this vacuum. It’s easy to use, easy to clean and change the filter. As an older quilter all those features are important to me.
I love that this vacuum is so sleek and won’t take up much room but can get under tables and do the complete job needed by the vacuum. Pretty cool that it can be a smaller un it for cleaning furniture too. Wow! Pat you are so lucky. Congratulations!
I love that this vacuum allows you to remove the roller. I’m sure that will make it easier and quicker to detangle.
love the compact and cordless design
I love how easy it is to remove and clean the brush! Between cats, long hair, and sewing thread, it seems I am always having to cut away buildup on the brush.
Thanks for having a giveaway for a vacuum. It looks amazing. I like the lights, the clean outs being easy, it looks lightweight. I would love something that small and easy to maneuver around my small space 😃. Great video too!
I like the fact that it is cordless.
I love the stand and the tool holders plus the filter.
Love that you can take the roller out to clean and it’s cordless!
It’s hard to name just one aspect of this vacuum that’s my favorite. The complete design is amazing!! Picking just one favorite aspect I would say the fact that there is more than one suction speed. This is the most amazing vacuum I’ve ever seen.
I like that the Riccar Vacuum is relatively thin so it would fit nicely in a closet filled with quilting fabric etc. I also love the feature of being able to access the roller just by pushing a button, unlike others that need a screwdriver. Who wants to take the time for all that when you just want to get to quilting!!
I like the fact that it doesn’t take up much room when stored and that it’s light weight so easy to manoeuvre into all the nooks and crannies.
This vacuum looks fantastic, I would love that for my sewing room!
Not a fan of many things cordless/rechargeable but this has changed my mind
Love the essay clean brushes. I am always having to bend over to pick up stray threads that don’t get picked up .
My favorite feature was the removable roller. It makes removing thread easier.
I love the idea that the bottom roller comes out to clean! Absolutely a brilliant design!
Wow! That’s a cool vacuum cleaner love how it cleans , love how there are filters that you can easily get to and clean them out.
It has a nice sturdy stand with attachments. I’ve used different vacuums and they don’t have all the neat things . Thanks for sharing. Love ❤️ watching your videos with coffee! Thank you. 😊
I love how easy it would be to get threads unwrapped from the roller! That is always a challenge
The size is perfect to get in all the small spaces
The features I love are that it has a stand, the roller comes apart for easy cleaning and it is small enough to fit under furniture.
I love the look of this new office assistant. The feature i absolutely love is the ease of removing the roller to clean it. My past vacuums were difficult to get to the roller bar to remove threads and anything else that would get wrapped it.
I like the fact that its cordless and that you can remove the roller bar.
I love that it stands on its own and doesn’t have to get attached to a wall and that it has a light on the end of it! Would love this!!
Love the design of the vacuum, I have all hardwood floors, it would work great. Love your tutorials
Great vacuum! I love the stand and the removable roller!
All the tools store on the vacuum. No more hunting around!
I love everything about this vacuum. But my favorite thing is the roller coming out to clean it. That will make it so much easier to do that chore. I also like the fact that you can increase the power level.
I love the ability to take off the roller and get all the strings off as well as the light, the super charge sort of option, and the attachments! I have 2 Riccar vacuums from the early 90’s that still work great, I’d love to add a cordless for my quilting space!
Such a fun giveaway. My favorite feature was the roller bar because how many vacuums have I ruined with threads? I’ll never tell.
I love that it has adjustable power and it will go flat so I could vacuum under furniture. It’s very exciting to see new technology that will help you with your chores. The sooner the chores are done the sooner you can get back to quilting! Yay!!!
Hi Pat,
I’ve been watching you videos for MANY years and enjoy them so much with my morning cuppa. I’m loving the Ricar vacuum features. The tool stand caddy and the removable “beater bar” are my favorite features that you demonstrated so well. I also love that it’s made in America. I can see this assistant in my quilt studio. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.
This vacuum has many lovely features but I like the three different filters. They seem to provide a very advanced design that will pick so much carpet and floor debris and allow easy cleaning. Thanks for the opportunity to win this machine.
Such a cool vacuum…you find the neatest things Pat! I’m excited about trying something new. My daughter has one like that and loves it. Our old canister one is very heavy. Happy sewing to you today. I miss you when there is no video but understand you have a very busy life! 🧵🪡♥️ Thanks for all you do for us! Hugs, 🥰
I love that it is cordless and so easy to clean.
Re: Riccar Vaccum, I love that it is cordless. I hate chasing that cord around and then it gets pulled out of the plug and you have to stop. Not with the Riccar. Yay. Love the Hepa filter also.
The bottom roller is very nifty that it comes out for cleaning half the time I have to hold this whole sweeper on my lap to get the threads cut off love to win that one
I love that you can remove the roller to clean it!!! Looks like a great vac!!!!
Love the stand on the sweeper, and the easy clean roller. Thanks so much for showing this. It is just what I’ve been looking for!
I love that it easily cleans both hard surfaces and carpeted surfaces. AND that the roller comes apart to be cleaned. That’s amazingly helpful!!
The removable bar for easy cleaning. A game changer!
The easily removable bar is a great option!
The saying “Nature abhors a vacuum” is very appropriate for quilters, threads filling up any void in the sewing room, actually the house, but my name’s not “Nature” and I would love this vacuum!
Being a quilter and a cat owner, the need of a powerful and handy vacuum is essential. The ability to flatten the front of the unit to get under couches and beds is a winner for me. And what a sleek design!
Thank you for all you do !
That vacuum cleaner looks awesome!
I like that the rotating brush in the vacuum head comes out for easy cleaning! And that it has so many setting speeds. It looks very light and streamlined. Thanks for showing to us this morning. I will have to check out the website.
We are in the process of downsizing also and a smaller lightweight vacuum would be handy. WOW what a great office assistant. Love the ease of cleaning and that light so you can see all those threads on the floor! Thanks for the chance to win <3
What a cool vacuum. My favorite feature is the roller that comes out to clean. What a game changer that is.
Thank you for introducing me to this nice compact wireless vaccum cleaner. Love the versatility of this Riccar vaccum and ease of use. Please enter me in this generous giveaway.
What a great giveaway. Love the vac especially easy to clean the roller and it’s cord less. I’m 73 and tired of tripping over my vac cord.
Love that it is cordless and that all tools are on board
The ease of the cleaning looks awesome, I struggle cleaning all the threads off the roller.
