Riccar SupraLite R17.2 Soft Carpet Ultra Lightweight Upright Vacuum

The Riccar SupraLite R17.2 is the top of the SupraLite line, and it’s built for the way carpet is actually made today. The soft carpet base plate glides across ultra-plush pile instead of bogging down and fighting you, which is exactly where most uprights struggle. At 9 pounds it’s light enough to carry up and down stairs one-handed, and the 40-foot cord gets you through several rooms without hunting for a new outlet. A Hall sensor watches the brushroll and stops the machine when it detects a jam — clear the red light and you’re back to work, with no belt to replace thanks to the lifetime belt. It’s backed by a 10-year warranty and 17 tune-up visits at your participating Riccar retailer — bring it in and we’ll check the belt and the other critical wear points so it keeps cleaning reliably for years.
