Product Summary

Maintain your compatible Riccar compact canister vacuum’s filtration system with the Riccar HEPA & Secondary Filter Set #RF-13. Designed for Riccar Moonlight and Pizzazz canister vacuum models, this set includes one HEPA media filter and one secondary motor filter. Together, these filters help capture fine dust and support proper airflow through the vacuum’s filtration system.

As an Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums, we recommend checking your vacuum’s exact model number and existing filter part number before ordering. RF-13 has been reported as discontinued or unavailable by some retailers, so contact Ace Vacuums to confirm current availability before purchase.

Compatible Models

The RF-13 filter set is documented for the following Riccar compact canister vacuum families:

  • Riccar Moonlight: Moon.1, Moon.2, Moon.3 and Moon.4

  • Riccar Pizzazz: ZAZZ.1, ZAZZ.2, ZAZZ.3, ZAZZ.4 and ZAZZ-FSN

Compatibility note: RF-13 should not be advertised as a universal filter for Riccar upright vacuums. The documented applications are Moonlight and Pizzazz compact canisters. Confirm the model label and existing filter number before purchase.

Package contents are based on available RF-13 product listings. Confirm the supplied contents and current availability with Ace Vacuums before ordering.

Why Replace Both Filters?

A vacuum’s filtration system uses multiple stages to help manage dust and maintain airflow. Over time, filters can accumulate debris and become restricted.

Replacing the appropriate filters when needed can help:

  • Maintain airflow through the vacuum.

  • Support the filtration system’s intended operation.

  • Reduce the buildup of dust on the clean-air side of the system.

  • Keep routine vacuum maintenance on schedule.

Filter replacement alone cannot guarantee a specific indoor air-quality outcome. Results depend on the vacuum’s condition, filter fit, maintenance and usage environment.

Key Features

  • Genuine Riccar Filter Set: Original Riccar replacement filter part identified as RF-13.

  • Two-Filter Package: Includes one HEPA media filter and one secondary filter.

  • Designed for Compatible Compact Canisters: Listed for Riccar Moonlight and Pizzazz vacuum models.

  • HEPA Media Filtration: Helps capture fine airborne particles passing through the filter media.

  • Secondary Motor Filtration: Provides an additional filtration stage to help protect the vacuum’s internal motor area.

  • Supports Airflow Maintenance: Replacing clogged or worn filters helps maintain the intended airflow through the filtration system.

  • Model Verification Recommended: Check the full vacuum model number before ordering, particularly for older machines.

Why Genuine OEM Parts Matter

Genuine Riccar replacement filters are designed for compatible Riccar vacuum models to help maintain proper fit, airflow, and filtration. Choosing the correct OEM filter set helps preserve the vacuum’s intended filtration configuration and supports dependable operation.

  • Model-Specific Fit: Helps ensure the filters fit the designated compartments correctly.

  • Designed Filtration: Provides the intended filter types for compatible vacuum models.

  • Airflow Maintenance: Replacing clogged or worn filters helps maintain airflow through the vacuum.

  • Motor Protection: The secondary filter provides an additional filtration stage to help protect internal components.

  • Reliable Maintenance: Using the correct replacement part helps keep routine vacuum maintenance consistent.

As an Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums, we recommend verifying your vacuum’s model number and filter part number before ordering. This is especially important for older models and discontinued filter sets such as RF-13.

Replacement Guidance

Check the filters regularly and replace them when they are visibly soiled, damaged, clogged or due for replacement under the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance.

Before installing a replacement:

  1. Switch off and unplug the vacuum.

  2. Consult the owner’s manual for the correct filter locations and removal procedure.

  3. Confirm that the new filters match the model and filter configuration.

  4. Install each filter securely in its designated position.

  5. Never operate the vacuum with required filters missing or incorrectly installed.

Do not wash or reuse the filters unless Riccar’s instructions for the specific filter explicitly identify them as washable.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Riccar RF-13 filter set?

The Riccar RF-13 is a two-filter set consisting of one HEPA media filter and one secondary motor filter for compatible Riccar compact canister vacuums.

2. Which Riccar vacuum models use RF-13?

Available fitment references list the Moonlight and Pizzazz compact canister families, including selected Moon and ZAZZ model versions. Verify your exact model before ordering.

3. Does RF-13 fit Riccar upright vacuums?

Do not assume that it does. The documented RF-13 applications are Moonlight and Pizzazz compact canisters, not a general range of upright vacuums.

4. What filters are included in the package?

The listed package contains one HEPA media filter and one secondary motor filter.

5. What does the HEPA media filter do?

The HEPA media filter helps capture fine particles carried through the vacuum’s filtration system. Actual performance depends on the filter’s condition, proper installation and the vacuum’s overall condition.

6. What is the purpose of the secondary filter?

The secondary filter provides an additional filtration stage in the vacuum. Replacing it when required helps maintain the intended filtration arrangement.

7. How often should I replace the RF-13 filters?

Replacement timing depends on usage, dust levels and the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations. Inspect the filters regularly and follow the instructions in your vacuum’s owner’s manual.

8. Can I wash and reuse the RF-13 filters?

Do not wash or reuse them unless Riccar’s instructions for these specific filters explicitly permit washing. Incorrect cleaning can damage filter media or affect performance.

9. Is the Riccar RF-13 still available?

Some retailers report RF-13 as discontinued or unavailable. Contact Ace Vacuums to confirm current stock before placing an order. Do not substitute another filter set without verifying compatibility.

10. Why purchase from Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums?

Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums can help you identify the correct filter by checking your vacuum’s model label and existing part number. This is especially useful for older compact canisters and parts with uncertain availability.

Shipping, Return & Refund Policy

Shipping Policy

In-stock merchandise generally ships from our Leesburg, Virginia location within 3–5 business days. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time and is not a guaranteed delivery date. Weekends and holidays can affect timing. Special-order, backordered or unavailable items may take longer; contact us to confirm timing before purchase when a deadline matters.

Shipping options and charges are shown at checkout. After dispatch, follow the carrier's tracking updates. Weather, carrier delays, order verification and inventory confirmation may affect delivery. Inspect packages promptly and retain packaging if there is damage or an incorrect or missing item.

Returns and refunds

Eligible unused items have a 30-calendar-day return request window for refunds or exchanges, measured from delivery or in-store purchase. Return authorization is required. Final-sale exclusions, the 15% restocking fee for change-of-mind returns and shipping responsibilities are explained in our Return and Refund Policy. That policy is the governing source for return eligibility and fees.

For shipping or return help, email sales@acevacuums.com or call 703-997-9292.


30-Day Returns, Refunds and Exchanges

Updated September 27, 2026. Request a return for an eligible unused item within 30 calendar days of delivery (or purchase for items collected in store). Eligible returns may be refunded to the original payment method or exchanged, subject to availability. The same 30-day request window applies to both refunds and exchanges; there is no separate seven-day or 15-day refund deadline.

Eligibility and authorization

Items must be unused, clean, complete and in their original packaging with all accessories, manuals and proof of purchase. Contact sales@acevacuums.com or 703-997-9292 before sending anything back. Include your order number, item and reason for return. We will confirm eligibility, charges and return instructions. Unapproved or cash-on-delivery returns are not accepted.

Fees and shipping

For an approved change-of-mind return, a 15% restocking fee applies to the returned merchandise price. Original shipping charges are not refundable and the customer pays return shipping. These charges do not apply to an approved return caused by our shipping error or a damaged/defective item claim. Contact us first so we can arrange the appropriate remedy and shipping instructions. Do not assume a prepaid label is included.

Final-sale and excluded items

Air purifiers; discounted, clearance, trade-in, holiday-sale and price-matched purchases; gift cards; custom or special-order products; electrical parts; used or installed items; opened cleaning solutions; and used bags, filters, belts or other consumables are not eligible for change-of-mind returns. Other items clearly marked final sale at purchase are also excluded. An opened box alone does not disqualify an otherwise eligible unused, complete item, but consumables and cleaning solutions must remain unopened.

Damaged, defective, incorrect or missing items; recalls

Inspect your order promptly and contact us as soon as you discover a problem, with your order number and photos where helpful. Keep the packaging. Change-of-mind exclusions and deadlines do not remove applicable defect, warranty, recall or statutory rights. Warranty coverage requires evaluation under the manufacturer's terms; dealer status does not guarantee free repair. Recalled products must follow the manufacturer's recall process.

Refund timing and exchanges

After we receive and inspect the return, we will notify you of approval or the reason it cannot be accepted. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval; your bank may take additional time to post them. Contact us if more than 15 business days have passed since approval. Exchanges require authorization and replacement availability; any price difference and applicable charges will be explained before processing.

Applicable rights and earlier purchases

This policy applies to online and in-store purchases. We will honor more favorable written return terms provided with an earlier purchase. Applicable consumer rights remain unaffected. Where the European Union 14-day cancellation right applies, customers may cancel or return eligible orders within 14 days of receipt, subject to applicable legal exceptions, without giving a reason.
