    About Riccar R21 Spirit Upright Vacuum Cleaner

    Riccar R21 Spirit: a straightforward carpet upright

    The Spirit is a bagged upright for shoppers who want carpet cleaning with onboard tools in one machine. Its auto-adjusting nozzle follows carpet height, while the hose and wand help you move from floors to upholstery and above-floor cleaning.

    Everyday cleaning features

    • HEPA media bag and filter.
    • Metal brush roll and handle tube.
    • Telescoping wand and onboard crevice and upholstery tools.
    • Lay-flat design for reaching beneath furniture where clearance allows.

    Spirit, Spirit Plus or R30D?

    Choose Spirit for a simple carpet-focused setup. Spirit Plus adds LED headlights, a stainless steel telescoping wand and a separate bare-floor tool with a washable microfiber pad.

    For Imperial’s leading Riccar upright recommendation, compare the R30D Tandem Air Deluxe. Tell our team about your carpet and cleaning routine so we can help you decide which model fits.

    Questions shoppers ask before buying

    How do I know whether it fits my floors?

    Start with the floor types and cleaning-head details listed for this model. For delicate rugs or specialty flooring, ask an Imperial specialist to confirm the safest setup.

    What should I compare besides suction?

    Cleaning-head design, airflow, filtration, handling, reach, capacity and serviceability usually matter more than a single advertised power number.

    Can Imperial help after the sale?

    Yes. Imperial specialists can help with setup, compatible supplies and service options. Parts and service availability vary by brand and model.
