I love my robot vacuum cleaner, however, I can’t seem to train it to get all of the dust and threads under my sewing machine. I am looking for a new stick vacuum. I have an off brand and it is less than stellar. This one looks fantastic. Love love love the easy access to cleaning the brush.
The Riccar vacuum has a nice slim foot print for storing and I love that the stand is weighted to help it stay in place. The other things I like about this vacuum – it is made in the USA, it has a hepa filter, it has an easy way to clean the beater bar and there is no need to buy bags! oh, and it has attachments to clean different areas of the home.
2 things I love about the vacuum, first it’s cordless and second you take out the beater brush to clean I so hate setting with my seam ripper and scissors cutting out all the threads. Hope it becomes my new buddie.
I loved how easy it is to get the roller out. My current vacuum requires a screwdriver; I dont’ always have one on me!
Love the removable bar. Should make cleaning off those pesky threads easier! Also appreciate the lighting on this vacuums head‼️🤗
Definitely as a Quilter the ease of cleaning the roller is at the top of the list. I also like that it takes up such a small amount of space and that it has its own stand. Thanks for the chance to win this beauty 😁
I love how all the parts are easy to interchange. Also, being able to take out the roller to clean the threads is genius.
I like the rollers that are so easy to remove and clean. Cordless is also a good feature!
So many features…love most the HEPA filter and that the head swivels!! My sewing room could use this smaller profile assistant!!!
I love that it is cordless!
Oh my goodness I love that it has its own stand instead of being attached to to a hook on the wall. I could really use this in my sewing room—other rooms also!!
The feature I would love the best is how easy it should be to clean the rollers. My current vacuum picks up ALOT of hair, which I periodically have to use scissors to cut off of the roller. It’s quite a chore.
Thank you.
I love how easy it is to clean the filters. I also love that you can use it on your tables easily bu laying it flat. Very well thought out vacuum cleaner. Hope i win.
My favorite feature? The removable beater bar! Would make it so much easier to clean off all of the threads.
I love that it’s cordless!
I love that this vacuum cleaner is cordless. The best part is how easy it is to clean the rollers. I might even vacuum more often. 🤣
Love the standup storage.
It looks like a cool vacuum. I like that it has a sturdy stand it goes on and won’t fall over, and it looks pretty compact so as not to take up too much space:)
I liked the compact stand to hold the tools and the vacuum.
I like the feature that allows you to easily remove the roller. In addition to threads…I have long hair…past my waist. My roller is always a mess.
I like that is small and cordless. Makes it easier to use for those of us who aren’t as young as we used to be 🙂
Your new office assistant looks amazing. My favorite part is how the actual ‘head with roller’ has bright lights and its handle can swivel flat to go under cabinets and furniture. Thanks!
I love the ease of removing the brush to clean the threads, etc.
I love all of the different attachments.
Riccar is noted for having a powerful motor and I like the feature that allows you to adjust the suction!
There are a couple of things I like about it. First, there is a light on the brush so I could see what is in the path of the brush. I also like that it has a weighted stand, so I could put it in a corner of the quilt studio and it would be handy, not have to go upstairs and lug the other heavy one on the stairs). Also, and possibly the best thing is the different speeds available. It would be nice to be able to adjust based on the job at hand.
There are several features you mentioned that I really liked. The Hepa filter and the ability to remove the roller for cleaning easily. I think my favorite item you mentioned was the upholstery brush.I also like that it takes up minimal space it takes up. Right now I have 2 vacuums, one a canister (which was my favorite) but the pin that allowed you to change attachments doesn’t move anymore, so I can only leave the upholstery attachment on it. The other is an upright that is designed to vacuum carpet and not bare floors and is extremely cumbersome.
I like that all the attachments store on the stand. Looks like a nice vaccuum!
This would be a wonderful vacuum cleaner to have. The removable bar would be so nice to have on a vacuum cleaner. I would love to win.
I like the how portable and easy to use the vacuum is.
Wonderful vacuum. My sewing room needs you!
The feature that really impressed me was how easily you were able to adjust the intensity of the suction. That makes it much more convenient, especially for those of us who have a problem bending down. Having no cord to fight is a big plus too!
I love that it is cordless, even though that means you only get about 15-20 minutes of vacuuming at a time. But then who wants to spend more than 20 minutes vacuuming? I also like that the attachments stay with the base, because once I use them I can’t find them the next time because I can’t remember where I stored them. I would love to have one! My rebuilt Dyson is shot. We have replaced the battery and it still only gives us about 10 minutes of vacuuming before it needs to be charged again. I like the stick style because it’s light and easy to use. I like that the base stands up rather than hanging on the wall. Great give away, Pat!
I love that it is cordless and has the hepa-filter. Perfect for all the sewing room dust/fibers!
That looks like a neat vacuum. I love the stand it’s on and the removable roller is great for those of us with pet hair (or long-haired ladies) in the family.
I like the roller that can be pulled out and cleaned from threads and the 6 LED lights.
I meant Riccar vacuum –have to keep an eye on auto correct…
Because of the limited size of my sewing area, my 3 favorite features are – #1 it’s size – it is sleek and lightweight. #2 is the stand for compact storage and convenient access when needed. #3 – it’s cordless making it user friendly in all those tight spaces in and around your machine and ironing/cutting areas where all those pesky threads collect. Convenience and space saving, while providing me with all the things that you would expect from a great vacuum makes it a win for me.
I love how easy it is to clean and that it has those extra attachments and is not bulky! I could definitely use one of these in my sewing room! I got a (used) stick vacuum from a neighbor last fall, but apparently it was on its last leg because it didn’t last long at all and I hate dragging my large vacuum cleaner from the main floor down to my sewing room.
I like that you could easily remove the roller to take out all the threads!
The feature that I like best about the Differ vacuum is that the stand stores the attachments in addition to the vacuum.
I love the easy way to clean the roller. That has always been my hardest cleaning task. I just told my husband yesterday that we need a new vacuum. Lol
My favorite part of this vacuum is the way the rollers detach, removing threads from my vacuum is the most frustrating thing ever.
I really liked the feature where the roller bar could be pulled out and clean
That Riccar looks amazing! It would be awesome for my sewing room. The only room in the house that is still carpeted. 😕
I’ve been looking fir a great vacuum. Right now I sweep my sewing room. It never feels clean enough. Especially seeing threads escaping the broom..
My favorite thing about this vacuum cleaner is the stand. Oh, and how the roller bar comes out for easier cleaning. Oh, and how it lays flat. Oh, and the variable speeds.
oh my i could really use that in my craft rooms awesome!!!
I liked that you could remove the roller and clean it of the threads that can get caught on
them and I like the stand to store it on. Looks like a great vacuum cleaner all in all.
Do I have to choose just one? I love that it seems so lightweight. I love that it has a stand AND that the stand holds all the accessories. I love that it has a HEPA filter! What a great combination of features.
