HEPA Vacuum Cleaners
HEPA vacuum cleaners offer the best option for maintaining high interior air quality. HEPA, which stands for High Energy Particulate Air, is a filtration system designed to remove microscopic dust, dirt, and allergen particles from your home.
They are essential if you or other family members have respiratory conditions, such as asthma and allergies. HEPA filtration is held to a high standard to remove the biggest offenders on allergy sufferer's lists, including:
- dust mites
- pollen
- bacteria
- food particles
- paper
- pet dander
However, both bagless and traditional models must not be stored with full bags or compartments - this can allow dust mites and allergens to escape back into your home.
As an added bonus, a HEPA vacuum is quite energy efficient which saves on operating costs, especially in homes where frequent vacuuming is a must.
These vacuums are manufactured by a variety of brands, with top ratings held by Miele, Electrolux, Dyson, and Hoover. When choosing a model, be sure to investigate the cost of maintaining the filters. Be sure to check:
- filter life
- replacement costs
- ease of purchase
- warranty information
These additional costs can add up over the life of your vacuum. Be sure not to be seduced by a low-priced offer only to find that the savings are lost in maintenance costs.
