Riccar R25 overview and airflow testing.

- Clearly I was not bringing my A game while recording yesterday there was A LOT of editing needed for this.
I've attempted to measure one of these before, I believe it was the R25D but i didn't have the chance to finish so I added some of the footage I had from that at the end of the footage I took yesterday. Interestingly I had gotten nearly 11 more cfm from my last test from the hose end and a little more waterlift. Edit: looking over the features of the R25D and R25P the P (used in the beginning) uses a granulated charcoal filter while the D (seen at the end) uses a more mesh like charcoal. It's sensible to say that solid particles would provide more resistance, the upside to that is that the increased surface area of that should allow the P to reduce odors more effectively.
I view these tests and figures as more of a ballpark estimate as while we try to control variables that can and will effect our results (voltage, climate, etc) not everyone out there will have those same conditions. Though we can still use them to compare vacuums.
I will miss the Vibrance, but these look to me like the tandem air uprights but without the tandem air feature. Also the access door to the top fill bag, reminds me more of an Aerus Electrolux.
Did the previous R20 model have better airflow? I don't understand why Tacony doesn't improve the airflow for such a pricey machine.
Well i've done some testing on the S20D and the S20UP the UP's hose seems to eat up more airflow it was made of a different material and since it seemed stretchier i'm assuming that the interior of the hose was narrower. Part of the problem with the R25 line is that the airpath is longer. They're not a bad machine it's just they could have done better IMO.
S20D
Body: 101.74 CFM
Hose: 97.09 CFM 82"
Wand: 92.47 CFM 80"
Nozzle: 70" 8"
S20UP
Body: 104.81
Hose: 89.4 78"
Wand 88.37 76"
Nozzle: 58.56 CFM 8"
Nice, but made in China. =(
yes in ways I feel like the R25 is a step down from the vibrance line before them, less airflow at the cleaner head, shorter warranty, higher cost, and of course the location of manufacture as mentioned. They have some nice features but eh I was not excited about them when they came out
@@BlackheartvacsThis vacuum sure is horrible.
