Hey
I have an shark handvac and I noticed the riccar spruce looks similar. Does anybody know if this is a rebrand. Les |

Thanks.
I didn't think so either. I just barely started seeing the riccar squire on eBay. Riccar is very strict you either buy from them an authorized dealer or it's not for sale. I seen the Fuller brush at the vacuum shop down here. They also had a riccar Supra lite portable mini cannister similar to orecks. I asked if they had riccar or simplicity squire or spruce. They had to order it in. I was interested in it instead of Fuller brush wasn't as nice as it's luxury class brothers. If it's made by who ever owns simplicity I think tacony. If it's made by them you know it's good. I used the shark and it's a POS. Plain and simple. The new purple cordless handvac is by far the best corded or battery powered hand vac period. I do have a newer dirt devil that has a dust bin and it's really nice. But im not going out on a limb that the Fuller is just as good as the purple cordless shark. Thanks again Les |

Are made in China. Most of the non full sized vacs (spruce/squire, flash/gem, supraquik/sport and the stick vacs) are made in China.
I know the shop I worked for had some issues with melting brushroll ends and apparently there was some circuit board issues with the Spruce. The Fuller brush version lacked the 2 speed, and I think the headlight. They supposedly fixed the issues on the Fuller branded ones first, so some dealers may have chosen to carry them instead of the riccar/simplicity version. |
