Love that its cordless and that the roller bar come out for easy cleaning!
Love this block. A full size quilt with this block would be great. Would love to win this vacuum. Thanks for helping me start my mornings.
Love your new “assistant”! I love several features, but the ease of cleaning the thread from the roller will be at the top!
I like the separate stand that it attaches to and that it is cordless. Enjoy your videos and sew alongs.
I love that its light weight and the easiness of the removeable bar for cleaning.
I like the easier way to clean the roller and that it is cordless. Love this project. We had the colored metal glasses too! Thank you.
I like that there is a stand for the vacuum and I dont have to hang it on a bracket or lean it on a wall to keep it upright. Also Love that you can increase suction…some threads can be very stubborn!
Hi Pat!! Thanks for everything you do in the quilty world! The feature I like best on the vacuum is the ability to take the roller out and clean it!!! So neat.
How easy it is to clean the threads from the roller bar is a game changer.
Favorite feature is definitely the removable roller. I have spent countless hours cleaning threads out of roller using a sharp instrument. Not fun. Would love to win this vacuum.
What’s not to love….💕 they have thought of it all!
The ability to take out the roller bar for ease of getting those pesky threads removed is my favorite feature. The vacuum is amazing!
Being able to pull the bar out and clean the hair and threads is far superior to any vacuum I know of. Thanks for everything Pat.
Really like the stand where all on the attachments are kept.
I love the separate stand holding the tools.
The feature I liked best is the stand so much more convenient. I’ve had to downsize my vacuum due to age and COPD. This one looks like a winner.
Hello All!! Thanks for sharing, what I love about the cleaner is the ease to clean the brush and rollers, I have long hair and it tangles everywhere! and my hair is everywhere! embarrassing. That made my current vacuum a pain to use because I spend more time untangling the hairs than cleaning so I have been not using it very frequently, and using the old broom and swiffer instead. And cordless is a great thing!!!
Wow! Would be great in my sewing room and bedrooms reaching those low places and stairsteps! Knowing where filter is to clean is great! Thanks for demo Pat!
The R65 vacuum removable bar is ideal for getting better access to the thread that has wrapped around it and remove it. I also like the fact that it’s not a very bulky vacuum and it lays flat to go under couches beds, etc..
The removable roller brush is amazing. It is almost impossible to get all of the threads unwound from my current vacuum.
The vacuum seems to have been made specifically for sewing rooms!
I like that the suction is adjustable and it is easy to clean. The stand looks like a great asset also! It would be wonderful for my sewing loft.
I own a different model of the Riccar Vacuum. Love, Love it. Wearing it out. Love all the features of the one you have shared. It appears easy to store and easy to use. That is exactly what I need. I really like the fact that it is made in USA.

I love how the roller can be cleaned!
So, the feature that is of greatest interest in this vacuum is the removable beater bar! Get out those threads readily.)
Really need a new vacuum cleaner. Will this be the one? It looks great. (By the way, my old one has been pretty much destroyed by threads !)
My favorite feature that you demonstrated was the easy removal of the beater bar. The stand with the home for all the tools was my second favorite part. Love the hepa filter.
Wow! The ability to clean that roller brush easily is huge! Great design features to detach the head so you’re not wrestling the entire vacuum, and then easily expose the roller to clean it. I also like the overall compact design of the vacuum and charging unit.
I know this sounds crazy, but I loved the light feature. My current stick vac has no light and I think one with a light would be Awesome to have!
I love knowing about the Hipa filter and the other two. Love how to clean the roller, the stick vacuum the best, also how easy to empty the container of debrie. Would love to own this vacuum.
What a great vacuum! I do need an office assistant to get those pesky threads that escape to the floor!
This vacuum looks so much easier to use that the one that I have. Whoo Hoo, more time for quilting!
I love that it is cordless and has the hepa filter.Plus it has the weighted stand.
I like the stand where the attachments stay on the stand. I’m forever knocking them off the vacuum and then losing them. Also I like that you can take the roller off to clean cause I have longer hair that gets wrapped around the roller with the threads.
I love the roller clean out being so easy. That is the worst when they stop rolling with thread in them
The hepafilter and the ease of cleaning it!
I liked the removable brush to clean it and that it lays flat to clean under stuff.
The new Office Assistant is super. The removable brush bar and the Hepa filter are my favorite features. Would love to have this vacuum. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I loved how easy it would be to take off those pesky threads that lock up the wheels. Mine is so close to dying and its a pain in the rear to clean the threads out and I can’t always get them all. UGH! lol
I love the cordless feature of the vacuum. It has several great features. Thank you for the opportunity. Would love to win.
This vacuum cleaner looks great! I’ve never seen one where the bristle roll is removable! That is truly a game changer and definitely sets the bar for me! Thank you for sharing it with us and making such fun videos!
For me, the most important feature, out of many, is the HEPA filter since I have asthma. I’m not sure other ‘stick’ vacuums have them, but health issues make it a deal-breaker. I’m very amused and impressed with the ‘headlights’ too, allowing you to actually see what you’re cleaning. Imagine that!
I would like the filter and the roller cleaning feature. What a game changer!
I love this vacuum cleaner. I know it’s simple, but I love that it is cordless and so streamlined. My space is tight, but I have room for this!
The rack to hold the attachments is great. My current attachments are in a cardboard box! Also being able to clean the roller I so practical. I think that would help extend the life of the motor.
I love the removable brushes! What a game changer for threads!
I like the way you can take that brush out to clean it. Also, the stand is really nice for storage, as well as all the attachments it has. Looks very versatile!
The easy cleaning roller bar is great! I have dogs and sew so I have to clean mine frequently. Would love a new one!
Love the new vacuum. The stand is the best feature for me. Having its own place to rest when not in use is great!
Definitely the ease of removing the roller to clean. All my life every vacuum I’ve had does not have this feature and what a struggle it has been!
I love the removable brush to clean. I have 3 cats and lots of fur. I have virtually no carpet in my house but stairs and bedroom. I have large rugs. Besides that, as you said, we quilters create lots of pieces on the floor. I am always sweeping with a broom, the vacuum is just too much to lug out. This Office Assistant would be the ticket for an easier life.
