Riccar Vacuum Cleaners: American-Made Performance at Park Ridge Vacuum
Riccar is a leader in American made vacuum cleaners, known for their focus on performance, durability, and advanced filtration. Built with a commitment to cleaning excellence, Riccar vacuums are engineered for deep carpet cleaning, superior filtration, and long-term reliability for homes of all sizes.
At Park Ridge Vacuum, we recommend Riccar vacuums to customers who want powerful machines capable of handling pet hair, allergies, and high-traffic flooring. Whether you’re looking for upright, canister, or lightweight models, Riccar delivers cutting-edge features and dependable suction with every unit.
Riccar’s Legacy of Performance and Innovation
Riccar was founded in the 1980s by the Tacony Corporation, a Missouri-based company that remains family-owned to this day. Tacony launched Riccar as a brand focused entirely on premium vacuums.
Unlike many brands that outsource production, Riccar moved their manufacturing from overseas to the U.S in 1997, using their manufacturing facility in St. James, Missouri. This domestic manufacturing allows for tighter quality control, faster innovation, and a strong commitment to supporting American workers.
Riccar vacuums are a great choice for anyone who values American craftsmanship and innovative design.
