Riccar HEPA Filter for Canister Vacuums

This filter is specifically engineered for Riccar and Simplicity canister models, including the 1700, 1800, Immaculate, Impeccable, S38, S36, and S30 series. Please check your vacuum's model number against this list before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

HEPA filters are designed to capture microscopic particles like dust, pollen, and pet dander that standard filters often miss. Using this filter ensures that the air exhausted back into your home is cleaner and significantly reduces airborne allergens.

For optimal filtration and to keep your vacuum's motor running efficiently, we recommend replacing the filter every 6 to 12 months, depending on your household's usage and the amount of dust in your home. If you notice a drop in suction or a musty odor while vacuuming, it is likely time for a change.

No, this is a disposable HEPA filter designed for single use. Washing it can damage the delicate filter media and compromise its ability to trap fine particles, so it should be replaced rather than cleaned.

Yes. A clogged or dirty filter restricts airflow, which forces the vacuum motor to work harder and reduces overall suction. Installing a fresh, clean filter restores proper airflow, allowing your vacuum to perform as intended.
