Who the R27 Deluxe is for

Homes with wall-to-wall carpet, area rugs and some hard floors that want one bagged upright for all of it. At 18.9 lb with a 35-foot cord, it covers a lot of floor per outlet, and the handle reclines flat to reach under beds and couches.

How it cleans

Two brushroll speeds handle carpet and bare floors. Turn the Carpet button on for carpet and off for hard floors. An LED headlight shows dirt in dark corners. If a rug fringe or sock gets pulled in, the jam sensor stops the brushroll and the headlight flashes red, which protects the belt and motor.

Bag and filters

The top-loading charcoal HEPA bag (Riccar part R27HC-6; we stock the R25/R27 bag) holds dust in, and the charcoal helps with odors. Behind it sit a HEPA media post filter and a granulated charcoal filter, sold together as the RF27 set. Riccar says to change the bag once a month or when the full-bag light comes on. Flour or drywall dust can trip the light early; change the bag anyway. Bags are single-use, and the filters can’t be washed.

Tools and reach

The stretch hose and telescopic wand reach up to 11 feet for stairs, upholstery and ceiling corners. A suction relief valve on the hose handle lowers suction for curtains and plush carpet. In the box: a crevice tool and a dusting brush that turns into an upholstery tool.

If it shuts off

Motors off but lights still on? The thermal protector tripped, usually from a full bag or a clogged hose. Unplug it, fix the cause and press the reset button on the back. Riccar suggests a checkup once a year; we do $29.95 tune-ups at all 5 stores.

Warranty and proof

Riccar covers the R27 Deluxe for 3 years in household use. Warranty service goes through an authorized Riccar retailer with proof of purchase and the serial number: that’s us, at all 5 stores. The Carpet and Rug Institute lists the R27D with its Gold Seal through September 2027.

Compare it with

The R27 Pet Premium adds dust sensor lights, the Fur Get It tool and 5 years. The R27CV is the same idea with no cord. The SupraLite Standard weighs 9 lb if carrying it matters more.
