Riccar R27CV Cordless Upright Vacuum with HEPA Filtration

Description

The Riccar R27CV Cordless Upright Vacuum brings true full-size upright cleaning performance into a premium cordless platform. Rather than compromising with a small stick vacuum, the R27CV gives you a traditional bagged upright design, motorized brush roll, advanced HEPA filtration, onboard tools and extended above-floor cleaning reach—without having to drag a power cord from room to room.

Designed for serious whole-home cleaning, the R27CV transitions from carpeting and area rugs to hardwood, tile and vinyl while giving you direct control over brush-roll operation. Its rechargeable removable battery provides up to 55 minutes of runtime on Low, while the High setting provides additional cleaning power when you need it most.

For customers who want the convenience of cordless cleaning without giving up the filtration, bag capacity, hose reach and deep-cleaning capability of a traditional premium upright, the Riccar R27CV occupies a unique position.

Full-Size Upright Cleaning Without the Cord

The Riccar R27CV cordless upright vacuum is engineered as a true full-size upright rather than a lightweight stick vacuum. It combines cordless freedom with a traditional upright floor nozzle, top-loading disposable bag, stretch hose, telescopic wand and onboard attachments.

That means the R27CV can serve as a primary whole-home vacuum instead of simply being used for quick pickups between deeper cleanings.

Up to 55 Minutes of Cordless Runtime

The rechargeable battery provides up to 55 minutes of runtime on the Low setting. When additional brush-roll performance is required, the High setting provides approximately 26 minutes of runtime.

This gives users the flexibility to choose between maximum cleaning time and increased carpet-cleaning performance depending on the job.

R27CV Battery Performance

• Low setting: up to 55 minutes
• High setting: approximately 26 minutes
• Full recharge time: approximately 3 hours
• Removable battery: yes
• Battery can be charged: installed in the vacuum or removed
• Battery-level indicator: integrated LED charge indicator

Two Brush-Roll Speeds for Carpet Cleaning

The R27CV gives you direct control over the powered brush roll. For normal carpeting, the vacuum starts in the Low brush-roll setting. Press the brush-roll mode control again to switch into High for more demanding carpet-cleaning situations.

This two-speed system makes it possible to tailor brush action to the flooring instead of relying on one fixed setting for every surface.

Brush Roll Turns Off for Hard Floors

For hardwood, tile, vinyl and other compatible bare floors, the powered brush roll can be switched completely off.

Turning off the roller allows the vacuum to clean hard floors using suction without unnecessary brush agitation, making the R27CV far more versatile than cordless uprights that keep the roller spinning at all times.

Floating Self-Adjusting Floor Nozzle

The R27CV uses a floating nozzle that automatically follows variations in flooring height. Instead of requiring the user to repeatedly adjust a manual height dial, the nozzle maintains contact as the vacuum moves between different carpet depths and floor surfaces.

This helps maintain consistent airflow and cleaning performance while making transitions between rooms easier.

Premium HEPA Filtration

The Riccar R27CV uses a multi-stage filtration system built around HEPA media. Its filtration system is designed not only to collect visible dirt but also to capture extremely small airborne particles before exhaust air returns to the room.

The pleated HEPA media post-filter captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, while additional filtration helps manage particles and household odors.

Advanced Filtration System

• Self-sealing top-loading HEPA media bag
• HEPA media secondary filtration
• Granulated charcoal filtration for odor control
• Pleated HEPA media post-filter
• 99.97% particle capture down to 0.3 microns at the HEPA stage

The self-sealing bag also helps keep collected dust inside the bag during removal rather than exposing the user to an open dirt bin.

Excellent Choice for Homes with Pets

Although the R27CV is designed as a versatile whole-home vacuum rather than solely as a pet model, its powered brush roll, HEPA media bag and advanced filtration make it well suited to homes dealing with pet hair, dander and everyday household debris.

Hair embedded in carpeting is agitated by the powered brush roll, while the HEPA filtration system helps capture smaller particles carried into the machine.

Ultra-Bright LED Headlights

Bright LED headlights illuminate the floor directly in front of the vacuum, making fine dust, pet hair, crumbs and debris easier to see.

The lighting is particularly useful along baseboards, in darker rooms and beneath furniture where debris may otherwise be missed.

Automatic Brush-Roll Jam Protection

The R27CV includes brush-roll jam sensor technology. If an object obstructs the roller, the system automatically stops brush operation and warning lights indicate the problem.

This feature helps protect the brush-roll system from damage caused by cords, socks, rug fringe and other objects that can accidentally become caught in the nozzle.

Low-Profile Cleaning Under Furniture

The vacuum is designed to recline into a low-profile position, helping users clean beneath beds, tables and other furniture without switching to a separate machine.

The ComfortGrip™ handle is designed to provide comfortable control while maneuvering the full-size upright around the home.

Up to 15 Feet of Above-Floor Cleaning Reach

The Riccar R27CV is much more than a floor vacuum. Its stretch hose and telescopic wand provide up to approximately 15 feet of above-floor reach.

This makes it practical for cleaning:

• Stairs
• Upholstered furniture
• Ceiling corners
• Curtains
• Baseboards
• Window treatments
• Vents and registers
• Shelves
• Vehicle interiors
• Other difficult-to-reach surfaces

11-Foot Stretch Hose

The built-in stretch hose extends to approximately 11 feet and works together with the telescopic wand to provide the R27CV’s impressive above-floor reach.

Unlike cordless stick vacuums that require the motor, dirt bin and battery to be held in your hand during above-floor cleaning, the R27CV keeps the main vacuum body on the floor while you clean with the lightweight hose and wand.

Telescopic Cleaning Wand

The telescopic wand extends reach for ceiling corners, curtains, vents and tall furniture. It can also be used with the included attachments for detailed cleaning.

A dedicated wand-release control makes switching from floor cleaning to above-floor cleaning quick and straightforward.

Natural-Bristle Dusting Brush and Upholstery Tool

The included natural-bristle dusting brush is designed for furniture, blinds, shelving and more delicate surfaces.

The brush portion can be removed to convert the attachment into an upholstery tool, giving one compact accessory multiple cleaning functions.

Crevice Tool for Tight Spaces

The included crevice tool reaches between cushions, around furniture, along baseboards and into other narrow areas that cannot be reached by the full-size nozzle.

Suction Relief for Delicate Cleaning

A suction-relief valve located on the hose handle allows users to reduce suction when cleaning delicate fabrics, curtains or very plush carpeting.

Sliding the valve open reduces suction through the hose or nozzle; closing it restores maximum airflow.

Full Bag and Clog Indicator

A dedicated indicator light alerts the user when the filter bag has become full or when airflow is restricted by a clog.

This helps prevent users from unknowingly continuing to clean with restricted airflow and makes routine maintenance easier.

Self-Sealing HEPA Media Bags

The R27CV uses top-loading HEPA media vacuum bags that are designed to seal collected debris inside during removal.

This bagged system is especially convenient for customers who do not want to empty dusty bagless bins or routinely wash dirt cups and filters.

Removable Battery

The R27CV battery can be removed from the vacuum for charging or replacement. It can also be charged while installed in the machine.

Riccar offers the R27CV replacement battery separately, making the battery a serviceable component rather than a permanently integrated part of the vacuum.

Three-Hour Recharge Time

A fully depleted battery requires approximately 180 minutes, or three hours, to recharge.

The charger indicator displays red while charging and green when charging is complete.

Rubber Non-Marking Wheels

The R27CV uses rubber non-marking wheels designed to move smoothly across different floor surfaces while helping protect hard flooring.

Lifetime Belt Coverage

Riccar states in the R27CV owner’s manual that the vacuum belt carries lifetime warranty coverage. If the belt breaks under qualifying conditions, an authorized Riccar retailer can provide the covered replacement according to Riccar’s warranty terms.

Why Choose a Full-Size Cordless Upright?

Many cordless vacuums are designed primarily for convenience and quick pickups. The Riccar R27CV takes a different approach. It provides cordless freedom while retaining many of the features customers expect from a premium traditional upright: a disposable HEPA media bag, full-size powered floor nozzle, stretch hose, telescopic wand, onboard attachments and advanced filtration.

This makes the R27CV particularly appealing to customers who want cordless convenience but do not want to rely on a small stick vacuum as their primary cleaning machine.

USA Vacs Expert Recommendation

We recommend the Riccar R27CV for customers who want to eliminate the power cord without giving up the feel, filtration and cleaning versatility of a premium full-size upright vacuum.

Its combination of a powered floor nozzle, brush-roll shutoff, two carpet-cleaning speeds, HEPA filtration and long above-floor reach makes it particularly useful in larger mixed-floor homes.

For customers comparing cordless machines, the important distinction is that the R27CV is not simply an oversized stick vacuum. It is designed around the traditional upright format, including a replaceable bag, full-size hose system, telescopic wand and onboard cleaning tools.
