Riccar R10S SupraLite Standard Lightweight Vacuum — HEPA Filtration, Metal Brushroll, Only 9 Pounds
The Riccar R10S SupraLite vacuum is the Standard model in Riccar’s SupraLite lightweight series — a significant step up from the entry R10E that adds charcoal-infused HEPA media filtration, a metal brushroll, two motor speeds, a bare floor squeegee, and onboard tools, all while staying under 10 pounds. At just 9 pounds, it’s light enough to carry up and down stairs without effort, easy to push across every floor type, and simple to maintain. There’s nothing standard about this SupraLite. Currently priced at $599.99 — $100 below the $699.99 MSRP.
Why the Riccar R10S SupraLite Vacuum Is the Best Mid-Range Lightweight Upright
Only 9 Pounds — One Vacuum for the Whole House
At just 9 pounds, the R10S is light enough to carry from floor to floor with one hand using the handle on the back. Whether you’re vacuuming the living room carpet, the kitchen hardwood, the stairs, or the bedroom area rug, the R10S moves with you effortlessly — no heavy lifting, no leaving the vacuum on one floor because it’s too much effort to carry it. This is the defining advantage of the SupraLite series and the reason it has been one of Riccar’s best-selling lines for more than a decade.
Charcoal-Infused HEPA Media Filtration — Cleaner Air and Odor Control
The R10S uses a 24-inch long, self-sealing, charcoal-infused HEPA media bag (Part #RLHC-6) — a significant upgrade over the entry R10E’s standard paper bag. The charcoal infusion captures and neutralizes household odors as well as dust and allergens, making the R10S a genuinely better choice for homes with pets, cooking odors, or allergy sensitivity. The self-sealing closure prevents dust exposure during bag changes — a feature often missing on budget lightweight vacuums.
Two-Speed Motor — Optimized Performance on Every Floor
The two-speed motor lets you match cleaning power to your floor type — full power for deep carpet agitation, reduced speed for delicate rugs, bare floors, and specialty surfaces. Most lightweight vacuums at this price run at a single speed for every surface. The R10S’s two-speed motor is the kind of feature that makes daily cleaning noticeably better, not just marginally different.
Metal Brushroll — Durable Deep Carpet Agitation
The metal brushroll delivers consistent, reliable deep carpet agitation without the wear and deformation that plastic brushrolls suffer over time. Metal construction at the brushroll is one of the features that distinguishes genuine quality lightweight vacuums from inexpensive alternatives — and it’s the same material Riccar uses across its full-size lineup.
Bare Floor Squeegee — Dedicated Hard Floor Cleaning
The bare floor squeegee is a dedicated attachment for cleaning hardwood, tile, vinyl, and other bare floor surfaces — sweeping up fine dust and debris that the main brushroll isn’t optimized for. This is a feature the entry R10E doesn’t have, and it makes the R10S genuinely more versatile for homes with significant hard floor area.
Deluxe Touch Handle Grip — Comfortable for Extended Use
The Deluxe Touch handle grip provides a comfortable, non-slip hold during extended cleaning sessions. Combined with the metal handle tube and ergonomic balance of the SupraLite design, the R10S is genuinely easy to push, pull, and maneuver — reducing hand and wrist fatigue compared to hard plastic handles on competing lightweight vacuums.
35-Foot Cord — Extended Coverage Between Outlets
The 35-foot cord — five feet longer than the entry R10E — covers more floor area between outlet changes, reducing interruptions during whole-home cleaning sessions. Fewer plugging stops means more efficient cleaning.
Rubber Wheels and Non-Marking Bumper — Protects Your Floors and Furniture
Rubber wheels roll smoothly across every floor type without scratching hardwood or leaving marks on tile. A non-marking bumper protects furniture, baseboards, and walls from scuffs during cleaning — a detail that matters most in homes with light-colored walls or wood furniture.
Headlight — See What You’re Cleaning
A headlight illuminates the cleaning path ahead, making it easy to spot debris in dim corners, under furniture, and along dark baseboards. Particularly useful when cleaning under beds and tables where the vacuum head extends beyond your line of sight.
Carrying Handle — Effortless Transport Between Floors
A carrying handle on the back of the vacuum makes it easy to carry the R10S from room to room or floor to floor with one hand. At 9 pounds, this is genuinely practical — not just a feature listed on a spec sheet.
CRI Gold Seal of Approval
The Riccar R10S has earned the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Gold Seal of Approval — the highest independent certification for carpet cleaning performance, verifying the R10S for soil removal, soil containment, and carpet wear.
3-Year Warranty and Red Carpet Service Plan
The R10S is backed by a 3-year warranty — three times the coverage of the entry R10E. Twin City Vacuum is an authorized Riccar retailer and fully honors the Red Carpet Service Plan — scheduled complimentary tune-ups by our trained technicians at our Crystal, MN location.

Frequently Asked Questions — Riccar R10S SupraLite Standard Vacuum
What makes the Riccar R10S SupraLite different from the R10E?
The R10S adds a metal brushroll, charcoal-infused HEPA media bag, two motor speeds, bare floor squeegee, onboard tools, rubber wheels, non-marking bumper, 35-foot cord (vs 30 feet), and a 3-year warranty (vs 1 year). The R10E uses a paper bag and wood brushroll and has no tools. The R10S is the right choice for buyers who want HEPA filtration, versatile floor cleaning, and onboard tools at a mid-range price.
Does the Riccar R10S SupraLite have HEPA filtration?
Yes. The R10S uses a 24-inch self-sealing charcoal-infused HEPA media bag (Part #RLHC-6) that captures dust and allergens while neutralizing household odors. The self-sealing closure prevents dust exposure during bag changes.
How heavy is the Riccar R10S?
The R10S weighs 9 pounds — light enough to carry up and down stairs with one hand using the rear carrying handle. It is one of the lightest full-featured upright vacuums available with HEPA filtration and onboard tools.
Does the Riccar R10S work on hardwood floors?
Yes. The two-speed motor allows you to reduce power for bare floor cleaning, and the included bare floor squeegee is specifically designed for hardwood, tile, and vinyl surfaces. The R10S handles every floor type in your home.
What is the difference between the R10S and R10P?
The R10P adds a lifetime belt with Hall sensor jam protection, a 40-foot cord (vs 35 feet), and replaceable brushstrips on the metal brushroll. Both have the same filtration, two-speed motor, bare floor squeegee, and 3-year warranty. The R10P is worth the upgrade if belt longevity and the longest cord reach are priorities. The R10S delivers excellent value for buyers who don’t need the Hall sensor belt.
