Riccar Spirit Plus Upright Vacuum

Riccar Spirit Plus Upright Vacuum

The Riccar Spirit Plus upright vacuum cleaner combines 103 CFM motor airflow with 70 inches of water lift hose suction for deep floor cleaning. Built with Clean Air technology and sealed HEPA media filtration, this model traps dust, dander, and common household allergens inside a HEPA media bag before exhaust air exits the machine.  

Designed for multi-surface homes, the Spirit Plus transitions automatically across carpet heights without manual knobs. A metal brushroll, metal handle tube, and stainless steel telescoping wand deliver long-term durability. Review your machine's data plate or contact Classic Vacuum to verify compatibility with RAH-6 bags and replacement belts before ordering.
