Hello all! We current have a 10 year old riccar 1700. It has treated us well aside from having to replace the hose once and a blown fuse we have had no troubles with it. Recent I purchased a dyson v6 cordless vacuum for spot cleaning. We first tried the dyson on a 8x12 area rug that had just been vacuumed, using the riccar, 24 hour prior. I was disgusted that we nearly filled the (small) dyson canister. It was at this point that I lost faith in the riccar. The bag was about half full (or emtpy) at this point and the filters were only months old. Is this typical of a riccar? Should I be looking at a new vacuum?
