I love that the roller comes out so you can clean that area easily! Great for getting all those threads out. I Love my Babylock sewing machine, so this vacuum would go so wonderfully with it. Thank you Pat!!
I have been on a quest for the perfect vacuum āassistantā for my hard wood floors
for years. I have been through several.
I like the removable roller- I have 3 Chows Chows so lot of dog hair besides
quilting āmessā. I like the battery, no cords for me.
Thank you Pat
I love the new vacuum Office Assistant. I like that it has a stand that holds it and all the attachments. Hope you enjoy yours!!!
I love that it is cordless & it looks SO Easy to clean
Everyone needs an assistant like yours!! My tiny sewing area is set up in my family/tv room so I can hang out with my family and still sew. My machine is on a small old dining table so my sewing threads and ābunny earsā are glittered all over my space after sewing. I would love an assistant to tidy up after my creative time. My family (husband) would appreciate any help in that endeavor. š
The way the roller can be cleaner as well as the way it can get under furniture & The stand are the feature that make me like this machine!
That is quite a vacuum system! The removeable roller for cleaning is a great plan.
My favorite feature is that the brush can be removed and cleaned easily! Thank you for showing us this product! I never heard about this company.
I love 2 features of the Ricar. I love the stand-alone feature and the removable bar for easy cleaning.
Those headlights are amazing to light up where dust, dirt, and strings are!
I like how that roller comes completely out for removing hair,thread,etc. mine doesnāt do thatš
I remember my first apartment and not owning a vacuum and will never forget what a useful invention they are…your new office assistance looks like a winner.
Thx for all your sew alongs have learned so much from you!
As I get more āmatureā, my ability to haul vacuums around is limited. My sewing space is in a finished, carpeted basement. Iād love to have a vacuum dedicated to that space.
Love you videos Pat. They keep me motivated.
I just found out about these vacuums when I went to drop my machine off at the spa. Iād be very interested in learning more.
My vacuum died last week! This is just what I need.
I love that is is so small. It will easily fit in a corner. Love that the filters are easy to access to clean them. Love that the beater bar is removable to get rid of those darned threads that get wrapped around the bar. We had a Riccar vacuum when we lived in London and loved it.
Oh I loved how the roller comes out for cleaning!
I love that the roller comes out for cleaning and I also love the stand that holds the vacuum and all the extra brushes and tools. It looks like it is much so easier to handle than my big one.
I love that everything can be stored together – all of the attachments on the charging stand!
Would love a cordless vacuum.
I have 2 favorite parts! Love that the Riccar vaccuum has a weighted stand that holds the tools in place AND the removable brush bar for cleaning.
I like the removable bar for cleaning.
The weighted stand for it. I like that I can move easily!
There are many features that I like. It being cordless is a great feature, the clean out of the roller is a top feature. Having a stand is a game changer, no more falling to the floor as my present one does.
I love that you can take the roller out for easy cleaning…. that is so wonderful !!
Ohm my gosh – where to start? I love the compact size of the stand, the ease of using it to vacuum furniture, the ease of getting to the roller. I hope I win, but if I don’t, I may see this in my future! š
oh my what a fun video today. I had the metal classes for awhile too. and I STILL have one of the little character jelly glass – the ones that you bought filled with jelly and when empty you had a drinking glass. So many great memories.
WOW – I really love that vac, mostly because I LOVE MY Babylock Unity Machine and what a great thing to learn about them having this vac business too.
I really like the easy HEPPA Filter on TOP – so easy to clean and the stand is amazing to have the accessories right there.
You don’t have to hide the entire thing away in a closet because it’s so nice looking like a piece of decoration especially for a sewing room atmosphere.
Thank you BabyLock for sharing with Pat Sloan so that she can then share with us!
I like that it stands up when stored and is light and easy to use.
Wow! I like several things about this vacuum. I like that you can manually go from auto to a higher setting, the way you can rotate to be able to get under furniture and also that it comes apart easily to clean the roller. Really good features. Thanks for all you do
I really like how easy the rollers are to remove to clean them. With many threads on the floor, this feature is invaluable!
I love the ease of cleaning the roller. My current vacuum is a nightmare to clean!
I like the light feature on the Riccar vacuum cleaner. Thanks for the giveaway.
Wow this is an amazing giveaway I always have tons of threads all throughout the house. I haven’t had a new vacuum in 10 years. This looks very manageable and sturdy.
Thank you for the chance.
I like the various filters and easy clean of the brushes at the bottom.
I like the roller coming out for easy cleaning.
Great features on this vacuum cleaner.
The part that looks most handy is the easy-t0-remove bar, but having a light to see where you’re vacuuming would also be super handy.
My favorite feature is the cordless feature, otherwise I like everything about it!
That vacuum looks amazing. Iāve never heard of Riccar. Definitely looks worth looking into.
I love that the attachments are connected to the base I always seem to lose them or they tend to be in my way
What a wonderful vacuum. There are so many great features. Having it own stand that holds all the attachments. No more looking for them or grabbing a bag to put the attachments in. Thanks Pat
I love the stand with the four brushes attached to it. Everything you need is easily accessible.
What a fantastic give away! I love the several levels of suction power and all the attachments. It would make keeping the craft room a breeze!
I love that you can easily clean the threads from the roller bar.
Would love to win this vacuum since I am currently holding my handle on my current vacuum with duck tape!!!
Wow! This is one great vacuum! I love that it doesnāt take up a lot of space to store it. The fact that itās easy to clean. It goes under the furniture easily and it self adjusts to the need! This would definitely be the ultimate solution for our home!
Wowza. Who couldnāt use a great vacuum cleaner with all the dust we make sewing. What a great give away. Thank you so much for your quilting inspiration.
I love the roller removal feature. It looks so much easier to manage than my current one!
I love the stand that keeps everything nice and organized and not falling over. I also like the ability to vacuum under beds, cabinets, etc. really looks like a well thought out vacuum.
I just trimmed a quilt this morning with minky backing and literally said to myself – I need a vacuum that can get back here for all this fuzz. I would love to be considered!
I like how you can take off the end to use as a shorter unit with the upholstery attachment.
āWhich featureā¦?ā How can I choose just 1?? OK, I love the HEPA filter best! Filters are VERY important to me.
I filter my home air & water, so this feature seems really fantastic on this lovely Riccar vac!! Thanks for sharing this awesome
product with our group, Pat!!
