Product Description:

The Riccar Tandem Air Premium Pet model R40P.6 is the ultimate vacuum for allergy sufferers and pet owners, offers our highest level of durability and performance in an upright vacuum. Designed with Tandem Air dual motor technology, two motors work together not only to pull dirt from deep in the carpet but also to power tools for above-floor cleaning. A seven-stage filtration system with a HEPA Plus media filter, self-sealing HEPA media vacuum bag and granulated charcoal filter ensure no dust escapes, and odors, including many volatile organic compounds, are contained.
Even when you can't see deep-down dirt, the Riccar Tandem Air Premium Pet can. Its dirt sensor detects dirt lurking in your carpet so you can remove the gritty particles before they damage carpet fibers. Designed with a reinforced belt, the Hall sensor technology stops the brushroll when it senses a jam. It's simple to remove the offending object and restart the vacuum -- with no broken belts. Bag and filter sensors remind you when your vacuum needs attention.Powerful tool cleaning starts with up to a 15-foot cleaning reach, engineered so pulling the hose doesn't topple the vacuum. Deluxe onboard tools are at-the-ready, but we've also included a bonus self-cleaning Fur Get It pet tool.Outstanding durability is a hallmark of this Tandem Air vacuum. The handle tube, brushroll, bottom plate, foot pedal and telescopic wand are all constructed of metal to withstand years of heavy use.
