Features and Package Options

• Smart Dust Sensing: In Auto mode, an infrared sensor reads dust levels and adjusts suction. You can also choose from five suction settings, including Auto.
• Three-Stage Filtration: Riccar SupraCyclonic filtration uses a pre-filter and post-filter made with HEPA media. Clean and maintain both filters as directed in the owner’s manual.
• Runtime and Charging: One 25.9-volt battery provides up to 40 minutes on the lowest power setting and takes about four to five hours to charge. Runtime varies with the surface, suction level, battery age, and charge level.
• Floor and Handheld Cleaning: The all-purpose nozzle has LED headlights and is listed for carpet, hard floors, bare floors, and area rugs. Remove the wand to use the R65 as a handheld vacuum for stairs, upholstery, vehicles, and other above-floor areas.
• Capacity and Handling: The vacuum weighs 7.1 pounds and has a 0.6-liter dust cup. Check the cup, filters, wand, nozzle, and brush roll when airflow drops or a blockage light appears.
• Standard Package: Includes the R65, one battery, single charging stand with tool storage and adapter, all-purpose floor nozzle, combination dusting and upholstery tool, extending crevice tool, soft dusting brush, and rotating dusting brush.
• Deluxe Package: Includes all Standard items, plus the Pet and Upholstery Power Tool and Ultimate Bare Floor Nozzle.
• Premium Package: Includes the Standard and Deluxe items, plus a dual charging base and second battery. Two batteries provide up to 80 minutes total on the lowest setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the primary difference between the R65 Standard, Deluxe, and Premium packages?

The packages vary by the included cleaning attachments and power accessories. The Standard kit provides the core floor nozzle and basic dusting brushes; the Deluxe adds a pet upholstery tool and bare floor nozzle; and the Premium includes a dual charging base alongside a secondary battery.

2. How long does the battery last on a single charge?

The 25.9V lithium-ion battery provides a maximum runtime of up to 40 minutes under ideal operating conditions. This timeline may vary based on whether you run the machine in maximum manual suction mode or utilize motorized floor tools.

3. Are the internal HEPA media filters washable and reusable?

HEPA media filters are non-washable and require regular replacement to maintain appropriate motor airflow and suction capability. Check the instructions inside your owner's manual to find the exact replacement schedule for your usage levels.

4. Is this cordless vacuum suitable for thick or high-pile carpeting?

This lightweight model is designed for hard floors, rugs, and low-to-medium pile carpets. High-pile or plush residential carpets may resist the lightweight floor nozzle, meaning a full-sized upright vacuum with manual height adjustments might be required for deep agitation.

5. How do I determine when the dust cup requires emptying?

Empty the clear 0.6-liter dust cup as soon as collected debris reaches the maximum fill line visible on the side of the canister. Allowing debris to accumulate past this point can restrict airflow, decrease suction, and reduce filtration efficiency.
