My husband has said I absolutely need a vacuum in my sewing room.
What a fabulous giveaway! This looks like a really nice vacuum – easy to use, easy to store, and easy to clean. Thank you to the company for offering this, and thank you, Pat, for doing the work!
there are so many features to love on this vacuum. I think I like the fact that it will go flat to clean under furniture and that you can make it shorter for cleaning stairs and furniture are my favorite features.
The Cordless device would be a huge help in my quilt room. This is the first time hearing the brand , but would enjoy giving it a test drive. Thank you.
Love how this vacuum les flat for those out of reach places. The feature I was most impressed with was the ability to remove the bar to clean out all the threads wrapped around it.
The Ricarr vacuum looks like a really nice one. The feature I like the best would be the removable roller and I also like that it has a weighted stand (I know that’s two favorite features – it’s hard to choose just one!) haha!
Nice vacuum cleaner! I like the ease of removing the roller to clean.
Goodness knows it will have to be done in a sewing room!
I love your office helper, so light weight , so much better. Also it takes less room
Love that it has a stand to store and charge!! Would be great in my basement where my machine is!
I have always had Riccar vacuums and have a Riccar sewing machine, the old mechanical machine that is a beast. Will sew anything. This looks like an interesting vacuum.
Removing the roller bar so easily is a great thing. That is one of the things I hate on my vacuum.
I love that the vacuums flattens to get under furniture! And everything else too!
There were several things that appealed to me (I’m on my second stick vacuum – will never go back to the upright or cannister). I love the stand- especially since it houses the attachments. I’m tired of propping my current one up in the closet corner (no room for the wall hanger it came with) …. and after recently cutting loads of my hair out of the brush, I’m loving his easy it was to get to it.
The stand is awesome. But the most amazing and best part is how you can clean the roller.
That is a great innovation. I struggle with cleaning that part of my vacuum
and that would make life a lot easier.
I would love to have riccar (office assistant)I have a larger model and love it but a smaller and lighter one would be nice.
So many elements about this unit that are desirable:easy to clean rotary,to clean filter, fits into small area for storage, change in suction power.
Always love to hear about a new vacuum that hits the market that could possibly be a better fit in my home. The removable roller feature is a game changer!! The roller is always where my problems begin especially since I not only have to vacuum up threads but dog hair as well. This Riccar set up you showed looks like it would take up so much less space too…. Always love to watch your videos and am looking forward to the next one. Happy Quilting!!
I had a Riccar vacuum years ago and liked it. I like the HEPA filter feature and I’m assuming it’s cordless.
I would love a new Riccar vacuum! You did such a great job telling us about it! I look forward to your videos on YouTube!😊
Love that ease of cleaning out the roller bar! Ours is a PITA to clean out.
I’d love to win this vacuum cleaner! My daughter used to work for Tacony in Fenton, Mo, a distributor of Baby Lock and Riccar, and always bragged about the quality of these products. In fact, she was able to help me get my first Baby Lock machine.
What a great office assistant! Love the features, especially the stand and variable speeds.
What a great vacuum! I would love to give it a try and see the features for myself. The easy cleaning feature is extremely desirable for a quilter to have. Thank you for the demo.
I think the fact that the roller is removable and then more easily able to clear off the strings. Perhaps I can use the attachments to suck out the dust bunnies inside the machine.
What a cool stick vac! I love the ability to clean the roller best.
I really like the sturdiness of the vacuum stand I have one that I have to fight with every time I return it to the base. Of course, rollers that pop right out makes it unique and having good filtration is important, too! I did notice how quiet it is, a rarety these days, thank you, Pat for showing us this fabulous item.
I love the air filter up high so there’s no bending down to get at it. I also love the roller that slides out so you can clean all the thread ends and that the bottom of the cleaners can be taken off so you can clean the slide out roller very easy. Great product. Thanks for the change to win one.
I always vacuum after sewing. I worry about my cats eating threads or lint. This vacuum would be great for the sewing room.
I would love a new vacuum for my sewing space. Love grandma’s kitchen quilt along
Hi Pat, Finaly someone has a with a removeable roller that can be cleaned. I have struggled with doing that…sometimes sitting for more than an hour with a pair of scissors cutting away with scissors. Love your podcasts. I have learned so much and your bright smile starts my day.
I’m so excited to learn more about this vacuum because I have wanted to get a cordless upright vacuum and have not found one yet that I like!! I love that this one has a sturdy base instead of having to hang it on the wall!!
The vacuum looks great! The mobility factor stands out to me, especially as I am getting older and less mobile.
I think the best feature is the roller that can be removed to be cleaned. That would be very handy. Thanks for all you do for the quilting community. I seem to learn something from you almost every time I watch a video.
Just by watching your video, I think having the two filters up high for ease of use would be my favorite about this vacuum, especially the Hepa filter. Second best feature would be those LED lights!
How convenient to have vacuum designated for my “sewing room” which happens to be in my basement! Love that the roller is so easily accessible.
cordless,not bulky and the stand
The portability is what I really like , close second is the ability to clean it . Thread, my hair, cat hair all combine to cover filters, brushes etc in a vacuums , oh did I mention the fine dust in Nevada? I need a good vacuum to clean up my messes
I love that the roller is removable for EASY cleaning.
My favorite part of your new vacuum is the removable roller so you can get rid of all those threads! I also like that is comes with a stand.
I like the “headlights” and the heavy duty stand for storage.
This looks like a very nice vaccume , like the fact that it is cordless
I love that you can remove the bar to clean it. Between threads and my hair, my current vacuum looks terrible!
Cleaning the brush roller is very nice!
The removal beater bar is a great feature. Also the dirt sensor would be very helpful.Thanks to you Pat and Riccar for this giveaway.
I like the easy to remove roller brush.
I love how easy it will be to clean all the threads off the roller. That is going to be a game changer.
I love that the rotating bar is removable. I hate cleaning all the threads from mine. It is always get out the scissors and cut and pull while holding the vacuum cleaner.
That office assistant looks really nice. My house could really use it
Your office assist looks awesome. I’d like to have an assistant like that. Those dog ears get all over my sewing space!
I like that you can take the roller off and clean the threads off. 🙂
