You vacuum regularly, yet you still sneeze, sniffle, or wheeze. Here’s the harsh reality: many vacuums expel microscopic allergens back into the air because they lack properly engineered filters. These systems simply cycle dust mites, pet dander, and pollen back into your breathing zone, leaving symptoms unrelieved.
The Allergen Recirculation Problem
-
Standard Vacuums Leak Dust
Basic filters often let particles smaller than 10 μm escape. Allergy triggers like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander are within the 0.3–3 μm rang- small enough to slip through and continue floating in your home's air. -
Your Lungs Pay the Price
These inhalable particles can remain airborne for hours, causing respiratory symptoms even in a room that looks “clean.” -
True HEPA Changes Everything
Sealed HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 μm—eliminating the cycle of recirculation and delivering the clean air you expect.
If you’re ready for relief, consider a vacuum designed to stop allergens, not spread them.
