Riccar builds the Riccar RSL4 SupraLite Vacuum Cleaner for residential users who want strong cleaning power without heavy weight. This upright weighs just 8 pounds yet outperforms a major competitor’s lightweight model by nearly 40%. It comes in a sapphire-blue finish, includes a 30-foot cord, and features an ergonomic looped handle for comfortable use.
The RSL4 comes with a 3-year warranty. The MSRP sits at $569.95, reflecting its build quality and surprising performance for such a small machine.

HEPA Filtration
The HEPA filtration captures fine dust and allergens, improving the air inside your home. By removing particles that trigger asthma and allergies, the RSL4 helps create a noticeably cleaner breathing environment.
Lightweight
At only 8 pounds, the RSL4 ranks as one of the lightest uprights available. Carrying it upstairs or from room to room takes little effort, and pushing it across carpet or hard floors feels far easier than working with a heavier machine. Its weight alone makes vacuuming less tiring and more manageable for almost anyone.
2-Speed Motor
The 2-speed motor gives you the flexibility to clean both carpets and hard surfaces safely. Many single-speed uprights run the beater bar constantly, which can scratch hardwood or scatter debris. This vacuum includes a built-in squeegee and speed control, making it suitable for carpet, hardwood, and other bare floors.
On/Off Switch Location
Good design shows up in small details, and the switch placement is one of them. Riccar positions the on/off switch and speed selector right on the handle, so you can change settings without bending down or stopping your cleaning rhythm.
They build vacuums with longevity in mind, not mass production. Their mission—The First Name in Vacuums That Last—shows in the RSL4’s solid performance and reliability. You’ll need to purchase from an authorized dealer, which may require more effort than visiting a big-box store, but parts, service, and support are easier to obtain once you’re connected to a dealer network.
The light weight makes this model a smart choice for anyone who struggles with heavier uprights or wants a vacuum that kids can use safely and confidently.
What is the downside? It doesn’t include onboard attachments. If you need a vacuum with extension tools for corners, ceilings, or upholstery, this model won’t meet those needs. But if you want a lightweight, no-nonsense upright with strong suction and durable construction, the RSL4 fits the bill.
