Sneeze Sniff Do you have a tissue? Does this scenario take place when you are vacuuming your house? Do you notice that your allergies act up when you vacuum and that your vacuum looks dusty, sort of like it is spewing dirt all over itself? This is probably because your vacuum cleaner is not properly filtering out the air that is expelled from the back of the vacuum. In order for a vacuum to truly filter the dust and particles that are expelled it needs to have true Sealed HEPA filtration. An example of such filtration can be found on Miele Vacuum Cleaners. I will now go through a few questions and answers that commonly arise when talking about filtration.
Why is my vacuum cleaner insufficiently filtering, if it contains a filter? It is a common misbelieve that all dirt and dust is contained within the machine when vacuuming the house. This thought is not true with many vacuums on the market that use a standard filter. With a standard filter the air leaving the vacuum is not being pushed through a HEPA filter and therefore not being experiencing the filtering qualities of a HEPA filter. A standard filter does not use a highly compacted filter medium like a HEPA filter and therefore does not experience the same filtering capabilities of a HEPA vacuum cleaner.
Why is a HEPA filter better? A HEPA filter has the ability to dramatically cut down on allergy and asthma triggers. A HEPA filter leaves the house cleaner, healthier and can greatly suppress allergy and asthma symptoms.
Why would I not just but one of those “cheap vacuums” that use a HEPA filter? Unfortunately the filtering capabilities of many vacuum cleaners are very misleading. Just because a vacuum contains a HEPA filter does not mean that all air leaving the vacuum cleaner is HEPA certified clean. Many vacuums are constructed in a way where dirty, non-filtered air leaks out of the vacuum’s many cracks and crevices. To experience the benefits of true HEPA filtration, a vacuum needs to have a ’sealed system’, which is found on vacuum cleaner brands like Miele.
What exactly makes a Miele vacuum stand out from other vacuums? Miele vacuum cleaners are unique because they have a sealed system that makes sure all of the expelled air is pushed through a HEPA filter before leaving the machine. The vacuum is completely sealed so the only air leaving you vacuum is HEPA certified and virtually free of allergens and asthmatic triggers.
How does Miele achieve a Sealed System? Miele has rubber sealing all around the inside of the vacuum cleaner allowing no dirty air to escape. A Miele vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter also has rubber sealing around the HEPA filter ensuring all of the air about to be expelled is HEPA certified clean.
Does a Miele Vacuum perform any other incredible feats? Absolutely! The Miele HEPA filter contains charcoal on the bottom of the filter to help rid the air offensive odors. Most vacuum do not even have the filtration capabilities to properly clean the air, yet amazingly Miele vacuum cleaners are capable of efficiently cleaning and deodorizing the air.
Miele vacuums are truly remarkable, with superior filtration and odor elimination; there is no other vacuum cleaner on the market with the power of the Miele Vacuum cleaner. With this article you now have the knowledge needed to make an educated purchase when buying your next vacuum cleaner.
