The Riccar R500 - Good Product
Solid, strong, with onboard tools and an extendable wand.
A bit heavy. Attachment hose too short, need to buy the optional 15' hose.

I can't believe how awesome this is
Suction, attachments, low profile, and service.

Consumer review (epinions.com)
I will never buy another brand!
I must begin by pointing out that I'm writing this review after two years of owning this vacuum. So we've certainly been able to put it through its paces and learn of all its quirks. Prior to buying this machine we've gone through a string of vacuums ...
Industrial quality, powerful suction. Unbelievable 5-year warranty and free annual service
Hose on the short side. External hose attachment mechanism is not good.
