About Riccar R65 Cordless Stick Vacuum
Riccar R65: cordless stick cleaning with automatic suction control
Consider R65 when you want a bagless cordless stick vacuum with tools for everyday cleanup. Its automatic mode responds to detected dust levels, while manual settings give you a choice of suction speed.
Why choose R65?
- Five speed options, including automatic mode.
- An infrared dust sensor that adjusts suction in automatic mode.
- Three-stage filtration with two HEPA media filters.
- A charging stand with tool storage.
Understand battery runtime
Riccar lists up to 40 minutes on low with one battery. Runtime depends on surface, power setting, charge and battery age. Confirm the included battery and accessory package with Imperial.
Compare cordless formats
Compare R10CV SupraLite if you prefer a bagged cordless upright. Compare SEBO BALANCE A1 for another lightweight stick option.
For a main corded upright, compare Imperial’s Riccar R30D recommendation.

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.
