Overview
The Riccar 8000-8955 Series Roller Brush With Rug-Floor Switch (Part # C012-0100B) is designed for use in a variety of Riccar vacuum cleaner models, particularly in the 8000 and 8955 series.
The Riccar C012-0100B Roller Brush with Rug-Floor Switch is a high-performance vacuum brush that is engineered to tackle both carpeted and hard floors. It is compatible with Riccar’s 8000-8955 series vacuum cleaners and allows users to switch between floor types quickly and efficiently.
Features:
- Dual Functionality: The roller brush is equipped with a rug-floor switch, allowing you to easily switch between carpet cleaning and hard floor cleaning. This flexibility is especially useful for households with mixed flooring types.
- Sturdy Construction: The roller brush is made from high-quality materials, designed for long-lasting durability and consistent performance. The brush roll has tough bristles that can help lift dirt from both carpets and hard floors.
- Easy to Install: Replacing or installing this roller brush is generally a simple process that can be done with minimal effort, and it often doesn’t require professional assistance.
- Effective Cleaning: The brush's rotating action helps dislodge dirt and debris from carpet fibers, making it highly effective for homes with high foot traffic or pets. When switched to the hard floor setting, the brush avoids scattering debris, offering efficient cleaning for hardwood, tile, or laminate floors.
Performance:
The roller brush excels in both carpet and hard floor settings. The ability to switch between the two modes helps maintain efficiency across different surfaces, ensuring optimal suction and brush action. The brush roll helps to agitate dirt in carpets, leading to deeper cleaning, while the switch to hard floors ensures minimal debris scattering and a more thorough clean on smooth surfaces.
Pros:
- Dual-use for both carpet and hard floors.
- Durable and built to last.
- Easy installation and replacement.
- Enhanced cleaning power with efficient debris pickup.
- Versatile and effective for a variety of home flooring types.
Cons:
- Replacement parts can sometimes be expensive, especially if the roller brush becomes worn out with frequent use.
- Not all Riccar vacuum models are compatible, so users should verify model compatibility before purchase.
Detailed FAQ
1. What models of Riccar vacuum cleaners is this roller brush compatible with?
The Riccar C012-0100B roller brush is designed to work with the Riccar 8000-8955 series vacuum cleaners. It's always best to verify compatibility with your specific vacuum model before purchasing.
2. How do I switch between the rug and floor settings?
The roller brush comes with a switch that allows you to toggle between the carpet setting (which activates the brush roll) and the hard floor setting (which stops the brush roll from spinning). This feature ensures you get the best performance for each type of flooring.
3. How do I install the roller brush?
Installation is typically simple. First, remove the old roller brush (if replacing), align the new brush with the appropriate slots, and secure it in place. Refer to your vacuum’s manual for specific instructions.
4. How often should I replace the roller brush?
The lifespan of a roller brush depends on the frequency of use. For homes with pets or high foot traffic, it might need replacement every 12-18 months. If the brush starts losing bristles or the bristles wear down, it's time for a replacement.
5. Can I clean the roller brush?

6. What should I do if the roller brush stops spinning?
If the brush is not spinning, check for clogs in the vacuum hose, the brush roller itself, or the area where the brush is housed. Make sure that the switch is set to the correct position and that no debris is blocking the motor or brush. If the issue persists, the brush motor might need servicing.
7. Is the Riccar C012-0100B roller brush safe to use on all floor types?
