HEPA Filtration

Whether a vacuum equipped with HEPA filtration is a worthwhile purchase for a pricier machine should be determined by the seriousness of a customer’s allergies and the effectiveness of the system.
What does it mean? HEPA = High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestor
How does it work?  The HEPA filtration system essentially filters out all particulates in the air as it is sucked up into the accordion shaped filter with the exception of gas and vapor. So people suffering from allergies and who find vacuuming to be an irritant causing fits of sneezing, might find relief through the purchase of a HEPA vacuum.
What about those of us without allergies? Why wouldn’t everyone want to breathe the cleanest air possible? Because the filter is made of fiberglass, the germs, viruses, and bacteria get trapped and, without moisture, die making the HEPA vacuum one of the top three choices.
Today there are many HEPA vacuums available as well as for every budget.
