Product Overview
The Riccar Radiance Aluminum Agitator is a premium metal brushroll designed specifically for the Radiance series upright vacuums. Built from extruded aluminum and fitted with replaceable brush strips, this agitator replaces weaker plastic models and restores or enhances cleaning performance. With robust construction and precise tolerances, it helps the vacuum maintain optimal carpet agitation, longevity, and reliability under heavy use.
Key Features
-
High‑grade extruded aluminum construction for improved strength, resistance to wear, and reduced warping
-
Compatible with Riccar Radiance and Tandem Air upright vacuum models
-
Replaceable brush strips (typically 3 rows) allow re‑striping rather than entire roll replacement
-
Balanced design to minimize vibration and reduce motor strain
-
Precision bearings and end caps to maintain smooth rotation
-
Designed for OEM tolerances — ensures correct alignment and clearance
-
Ideal for both carpet and bare floor settings (depending on your Radiance model’s nozzle design)
-
Long service life under regular maintenance
What Makes This Model Stand Out
-
Unlike generic or plastic brush rolls, this aluminum agitator is far more durable and reliable
-
Maintains integrity under high RPM and heavy use, especially in carpeted households
-
Because it matches the original Radiance design spec, you avoid performance dips or misalignment that often come with aftermarket substitutes
-
Since it uses replaceable brush strips, ongoing maintenance is more cost‑efficient
-
Provides near‑OEM performance, preserving the cleaning quality of your vacuum
