Are Riccar and Simplicity the same?

Both come from Tacony and share parts. Riccar is the slightly more upmarket cousin.

Are Riccars good for hardwood?

Yes with the right head. The Tandem Air with bare floor setting works on hardwood; for hardwood-dominant homes a Miele canister or Sebo Airbelt is usually better.
