Riccar R10E SupraLite Entry Lightweight Vacuum — Only 8 Pounds, Built to Last
The Riccar R10E SupraLite Entry vacuum is the entry-level model in Riccar’s SupraLite lightweight upright series — built with the critical features needed for outstanding floor cleaning performance, and none of the unnecessary extras that add weight and cost. At just 8 pounds, it’s light enough to carry up and down stairs without effort, easy to push across carpet and hard floors, and simple to maintain. First introduced more than a decade ago, the SupraLite Entry has been a consistently top-rated value in lightweight upright vacuums. Currently priced at $349.99 — $50 below the $399.99 MSRP.
Why the Riccar R10E SupraLite Vacuum Is One of the Best Lightweight Vacuums Available
Only 8 Pounds — Effortless to Carry and Maneuver
At just 8 pounds, the R10E is roughly half the weight of most full-size upright vacuums — light enough to carry from floor to floor without straining, easy to lift into closets, and simple to maneuver around furniture. For users who find heavier vacuums tiring, or for homes with multiple floors where carrying the vacuum up stairs is a regular necessity, the R10E’s weight is a genuine daily advantage.
Powerful Motor — Cleans All Floor Types
Don’t mistake lightweight for underpowered. Riccar engineered the R10E’s motor to deliver strong, consistent suction across every floor type — carpet, area rugs, hardwood, bare floor, and vinyl. The Carpet and Rug Institute tested the R10E for soil removal, soil containment, and carpet wear and awarded it the Gold Seal of Approval — the highest independent certification for carpet cleaning performance. This certification means the R10E has been independently verified to clean effectively without damaging carpet fibers.
Wood Brushroll — Durable Deep Carpet Agitation
The wood brushroll delivers reliable deep carpet agitation for consistent soil extraction from carpet pile. Wood brushrolls are durable and maintain their shape and balance through extended use — contributing to the R10E’s reputation as a long-lasting, reliable machine. A Frieze Soft Carpet Adapter is available separately for homes with extra-soft or frieze carpet.
ABS Plastic Body — Rigid, Durable, and Lightweight
The R10E’s body is constructed from ABS plastic — the same material used in hard hats. ABS plastic is rigid and impact-resistant without adding unnecessary weight, giving the R10E a durable frame that holds up to daily use and the occasional bump without cracking or flexing. The metal handle tube and pivot bracket add structural durability at the two points of highest stress during normal use.
30-Foot Cord with Heavy-Duty Cord Hook
The 30-foot cord covers a generous floor area between outlet changes, reducing the number of times you need to stop and replug during a cleaning session. A heavy-duty cord hook keeps the cord neatly wrapped when stored and prevents the cord from fraying or kinking at the connection point — one of the most common wear points on vacuum cleaners.
Large Sealing Paper Bag — Easy and Hygienic to Change
The R10E uses a large sealing paper bag (Part #RSL-6) that seals automatically when installed, preventing dust from escaping during bag changes. The large bag capacity means less frequent bag changes, and the simple top-load access makes changing the bag quick and easy. For users who want upgraded filtration, genuine SupraLite HEPA media bags (Part #RFH-6) are available as an upgrade.
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 — exactly where dirt accumulates and is hardest to see without light.
Ergonomic Rubber Handle
The ergonomic rubber handle provides a comfortable, non-slip grip during extended cleaning sessions — reducing hand fatigue compared to hard plastic handles on competing lightweight vacuums.
No Onboard Tools — A Floor Vacuum by Design
The R10E is designed and optimized as a dedicated floor vacuum — it does not include onboard above-floor tools. This is a deliberate design choice that keeps the machine lightweight and focused. For above-floor cleaning of stairs, upholstery, and furniture, Riccar recommends pairing the R10E with the Riccar GEM handheld vacuum or the Riccar SupraQuik RSQ canister. If you need a vacuum with onboard tools, consider the Riccar R10S Standard or Riccar R10P Premium.
Built-to-Last Construction
The SupraLite Entry has been in continuous production for more than a decade — a testament to its durability and consistent customer satisfaction. Customer reviews consistently cite years of reliable service, strong suction, and ease of use as the defining qualities of the R10E. It is not the most feature-rich vacuum Riccar makes — but it may be the most reliable pound-for-pound value in the lineup.

The R10E weighs just 8 pounds — making it one of the lightest full-size upright vacuums available. It is light enough to carry up and down stairs without effort and easy to maneuver throughout the home.
Does the Riccar R10E have HEPA filtration?
The R10E comes standard with a paper bag (Part #RSL-6) rather than a HEPA media bag. However, genuine SupraLite HEPA media bags (Part #RFH-6) are available as a direct upgrade for improved filtration performance. If HEPA filtration is a priority, the R10S and R10P both include HEPA media bags as standard.
Does the Riccar R10E come with onboard tools?
No. The R10E is a dedicated floor vacuum and does not include onboard above-floor tools. This is intentional — keeping the machine lightweight and focused on floor cleaning. For above-floor cleaning, consider pairing with the Riccar GEM handheld or SupraQuik RSQ canister. If onboard tools are important, the R10S or R10P are better choices.
What is the difference between the Riccar R10E, R10S, and R10P?
All three weigh 8 pounds and share the same lightweight SupraLite design. The R10E is the entry model — wood brushroll, paper bag, 30-foot cord, no tools, 1-year warranty. The R10S adds a metal brushroll, HEPA media bag, onboard tools, 35-foot cord, and 2-year warranty. The R10P adds two motor speeds, a lifetime belt with Hall sensor, 40-foot cord, and 3-year warranty on top of the R10S features.
Is the Riccar R10E good for carpet?
Yes. Despite being only 8 pounds, the R10E earned the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Gold Seal of Approval — the highest independent certification for carpet cleaning performance. It has been independently verified for soil removal, soil containment, and carpet wear.
Can the Riccar R10E be used on hardwood floors?
Yes. The R10E cleans carpet, bare floors, hardwood, area rugs, and multi-surface floors. The brushroll can be adjusted for bare floor cleaning.
What bags does the Riccar R10E use?
The R10E uses SupraLite paper bags, Part #RSL-6 (6-pack). HEPA media bags, Part #RFH-6, are available as a filtration upgrade.
