The Riccar Deluxe Hybrid Central Vacuum RCU-H7 is designed for homeowners who want the power and convenience of a central vacuum without being locked into a single dirt-collection method.
Its hybrid design allows the system to operate with or without a disposable vacuum bag. Use a bag when you want dirt and fine dust contained for cleaner disposal, or remove the bag and allow debris to collect directly inside the large-capacity tank.
The RCU-H7 is rated to clean homes up to approximately 7,000 square feet, making it an excellent choice for larger residential central vacuum installations.
Heavy-duty steel construction, a corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish, acoustic insulation, and an included muffler give the RCU-H7 the durable, quiet design expected from a permanently installed whole-home vacuum system.
Hybrid Bagged or Bagless Operation
One of the biggest advantages of the RCU-H7 is its hybrid collection system.
You can operate the central vacuum in either of two ways:
-
Bagged – Install the compatible disposable bag to keep collected dirt enclosed for cleaner removal.
-
Bagless – Remove the bag and allow dirt and debris to collect directly inside the vacuum tank.
This flexibility lets you choose the maintenance style that works best for your household.
Customers who prefer less contact with collected dust may prefer the bagged setup, while customers who want to avoid purchasing replacement bags can use the direct-collection option.
Designed for Homes Up to 7,000 Sq. Ft.
The RCU-H7 is designed to support central vacuum systems in homes up to approximately 7,000 square feet.
A permanently installed central vacuum allows you to place vacuum inlets throughout the home while keeping the main motor and dirt collection system in one central location.
Instead of carrying a full upright or canister vacuum from room to room, you simply connect a compatible hose and cleaning tools at the nearest inlet.
Large 4.5-Gallon Capacity
The RCU-H7 provides up to approximately 4.5 gallons of dirt capacity.
That is substantially more collection space than most portable household vacuums, allowing you to clean for longer periods before the system needs to be emptied or the bag replaced.
The large capacity is especially useful in bigger homes where more floor space naturally means more collected dirt and debris.
Built-In Muffler
Central vacuum systems already have the advantage of placing the motor away from the rooms you’re cleaning.
Riccar takes that a step further by equipping the RCU-H7 with a muffler to help reduce operating noise at the power unit.
This makes the system a better fit for garages, basements, utility rooms, or other installation areas located near occupied spaces.
Acoustic Motor-Chamber Insulation
Sound-dampening acoustic foam is installed around the motor chamber to further reduce operating noise.
Combined with the muffler and remote installation of the power unit, this helps keep much of the vacuum noise away from the main living areas of the home.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
The RCU-H7 is built from heavy-duty steel rather than a lightweight plastic housing.
Central vacuum power units are intended to remain permanently installed for years, so durable construction is especially important.
The steel body gives the system the rigidity and long-term durability expected from a whole-home vacuum system.
Epoxy Powder-Coated Finish
The steel housing is protected by an epoxy powder-coated finish.
This coating helps protect the exterior against corrosion and rust while providing a durable finished surface suitable for garage, basement, and utility-room installations.
Cleaner Whole-Home Vacuuming
With a central vacuum system, the heavy motor and dirt collection tank stay permanently installed while you clean with a hose, wand, and floor tools.
This offers several practical advantages:
-
No heavy vacuum body to carry from room to room
-
Large dirt capacity
-
Reduced motor noise in living areas
-
Convenient cleaning throughout multiple floors
-
Easy access to stairs and above-floor areas
-
A single central dirt-collection location
Accessories Sold Separately
The RCU-H7 is the central vacuum power unit.
The cleaning hose, power nozzle, wand, floor tools, and other accessories required for normal household cleaning are sold separately.
This allows the system to be configured around your home’s flooring and cleaning needs.
