What a beautiful setup - I bet that cost a fair few dollars! Full handle remote, lovely colour, even has an electric mini turbo brush - and made in USA rather than China. I'd imagine that little lot came to about $1500, comparable to the Miele TOL model Uniq?

I wish we had these kind of machines in the UK :-(

Is the power nozzle noisy? Some people have said it's a bit of a screamer. Would love to hear a comparison with the deluxe Miele power nozzle, or with the Sebo or Aerus or Panasonic or Hoover deluxe power nozzles... maybe on Youtube?

Riccar Immaculate

Hi George,

Congrats on the new machine. You made a very wise choice. I had an S36 which is the same unit as the Moxie several years back when they were bright silver. They have since added the steel brush roller, quieted the P/N, fixed the electronics in the hose and added some nice floor brushes when they brought the manufacture here to the USA from Daewoo. The is the most powerful household canister vacuum (along with the Lux Platinum) made if it still has the same motor as mine did. In the long run you will have not only clean carpets but a machine that is economical to maintain and creates jobs for folks out in MO.

Brian

Power Nozzle...

georgect's profile picture
No I don't think it's any more noisy than a Miele SEB-236 or Kenmore Intuition power nozzle.
It does NOT have a high pitch whine of say an L shaped Electrolux power nozzle, it has a lower tone like a whir.

Wayne has a video of it...link below.

Yah...sounds as noisy as the Aerus I tried at a dealership. Too bad they can't make them any quieter. :-(

My Kenmore Progressive power nozzle is an excellent deep carpet cleaner...is this one any better?

Noisy power nozzle??

starryblues4u's profile picture
This one is one of the quietest I have besides the Miele. My lux legacy is noisier.

Congratulations!!

Wow George what a beautiful machine! I know you will be very pleased with your
new TOL Riccar. You just can't go wrong with a Tacony product, I've had a Simplicity
S24L for at least six years now and love it. My S24, same as Riccar 1500 series, has
the first generation full sized power nozzle with wood brushroll and it preforms very well on all carpets so yours with the triple brush metal roller should really deep clean great. My S24 has had many hours of use, I clean houses with it, and never one problem. George if you get time will you take a picture of the underside of the floor nozzles please? Congratulations again!
Thank You, Russ

Oh yes, I can defiantly say it cleans better.

I've been using the Miele Capricorn for like two years.
I just used it yesterday in my regular weekly cleaning.

Today I tested my new Riccar (after unboxing) and ran it around the carpet (not a full cleaning) and there was dirt in the dust bag.
I thought there would be nothing since I just vacuumed yesterday.

So I can say it's better than a Miele.

Floor Nozzles

Thanks George. Let us know how the new bare floor tool with micro-pad works out for

you. It looks like a good idea. I only wish Tacony would offer a rug/floor tool with

the metal shoe like Wessel-Werk make. I can't tell do the new floor heads have the

parking bracket on them? I hope so as it makes it so nice to carry the extra along

and switch-out as you clean. Thanks for the pictures. Russ

Parking Bracket....

georgect's profile picture
Russ...out of all the attachments, only the floor brush (circled in white) has a bracket built on the neck (circled in red) of the hose connector.

The adjustable wand itself also has a bracket that parks with the canister sitting upright (slot underneath canister) or at the rear of the canister (slot at the back of canister).

The dusting brush clip should be turned around, so that the clip is behind the wand. If you keep the dusting brush on the front of the wand, it tends to hit things as you vacuum. Whenever I sell a Canister here at Tacony's Factory Outlet Store, I always turn the clip around for the customer.

For this tip...I changed it around and raised it so I can park the wand to the underside of the canister.

The 1700/1800 (Impeccable and Immaculate) are my favorite canisters from Tacony..

I can't wait until they put the new wands/hose ends on these machines. That way you can directly connect the hose to the power brush and the small power brush without any adapter stems.

After they do that, these machines will be perfect.

My first Riccar was a rebuilt 1700. I bought that before I started selling Riccars, thats actually what led me to my job I have now.

Congrats on this beautiful machine. If you keep the bags on correctly and change them when they need to be changed this machine will last you many many years! Make sure your dealer does your Red Carpet service for you. Don't let that slide by.
