Finding the Right Riccar Vacuum Filters

Riccar sells most filters as sets for each model, because a Riccar typically runs a secondary filter between the bag and the motor plus a HEPA or electrostatic post filter on the exhaust. Changing them together restores airflow and filtration at once. Start with your model family:

  • R40 — the R40P filter set.
  • R25 (R25P, R25S, R25D) — three set options: HEPA with granulated charcoal, HEPA with foam charcoal, and electrostatic post with secondary.
  • R65 — the RF65 HEPA filter set.
  • R27CV — the HE pleated HEPA and granulated charcoal set.
  • R20 series — the RF20UP foam charcoal set and B434 secondary filters for the R20UP, the RF20DP HEPA-electrostatic set for the R20P and R20D, and the B434-6000 post filter foam for the R20S.

The letter after the model number matters — P, S and D versions of the same series can take different sets. Each product lists its exact models in the Compatible Models section.

When to replace Riccar filters

Replace the full set about once a year with regular home use, sooner with pets or heavy use, and any time the machine smells dusty or suction is weak with a fresh bag. Charcoal filters lose their odor control as the carbon loads up, even if they still look clean.

Why does the R25 have three filter set options?

The R25 can be set up with HEPA plus granulated charcoal, HEPA plus foam charcoal, or electrostatic post and secondary filtration. Choose the set that matches the filters in your machine.

How often should I replace Riccar filters?

About once a year with normal home use, and sooner with pets or heavy use, or whenever suction drops with a fresh bag.

Can I wash Riccar filters?
