Designed for today’s carpet styles and busy families, the R17 has the soft carpet baseplate, making it easy to vacuum ultra-plush carpeting without bogging down and being hard to push. In addition to a seven-year manufacturer warranty, this machine is eligible for 17 service visits to your participating local Riccar retailer. Bring in your vacuum, and have the belt and other critical features checked to make sure your R17 cleans reliably for many years.
