The recent trend toward buying generic vacuum bags is a big concern, because these bags and filters are not as effective at capturing particles that trigger allergy and asthma attacks. Additionally, in a recent study commissioned by Miele and published in
Floor Care Professional magazine, generic products were proven to reduce the vacuum airflow by more than 12%.
According to the article, indoor air pollution is a huge concern for everyone, not just those suffering from respiratory conditions like asthma, allergies, or emphysema. Consider that 90% of our time is spent indoors with pollution levels that are reported to be 2 to 5 times greater than outdoor air. When you are using a vacuum cleaner small particles are stirred up and can become suspended in the air. A
Miele vacuum with Miele constructed filters and dust bags filters out those particles and makes the air inside your home cleaner and safer.
Miele has been at the forefront of clean air vacuum technology. According to Nadine Gast, the Senior Product Manager for Miele, “Since introducing our first HEPA Sealed System vacuum cleaner more than 15 years ago, millions of households have trusted Miele vacuums for their quality construction, powerful performance, and advanced filtration system to safeguard their indoor air.”
“Using generic or counterfeit dustbags and HEPA filters in a Miele vacuum would almost be criminal and, as the data certainly concludes, puts everyone in the home at great risk as millions of lung damaging particles remain suspended in the air for hours.”
The recently redesigned
Miele AirClean vacuum bags have a 9-layer fiber construction that traps fine particles. The bags also have a spring loaded collar that snaps shut upon removal so that no dust can escape. Bagless vacuums can be a hazard when emptied, because dust and fine particles are allowed to escape back into your indoor air.
