Riccar Gem Handheld Vacuum

Riccar Gem Handheld Vacuum

The Riccar Gem Handheld Vacuum is a compact accessory vacuum designed for detailed, above-floor cleaning tasks where full-sized uprights or canisters cannot easily reach. Functioning either as a standalone handheld unit or paired with its flexible hose and bonus accessories, the Gem cleans delicate electronics, computer keyboards, printers, car interiors, and craft workbenches. Featuring a washable dust cup and specialized nylon-bristled attachments, this portable vacuum provides targeted suction for intricate cleanup.
