Every aspect of a Miele vacuum cleaner is designed with your health in mind. For over 75 years, Miele’s research, development and quality control laboratories have tested methods to effectively pick up and, most importantly, retain dust and other indoor air pollutants. After collecting volumes of data, engineers and designers continue to reach the firm conclusion that Miele’s system is the most effective and hygienic method of removing particulate matter from the home. This cutting edge filtration system is what makes a Miele the best allergy vacuum.
Miele sealed system, H13 HEPA vacuum cleaners capture 99.95% of all particles as small as 0.1 microns. No other vacuum cleaner for allergies comes close to this standard of filtration, and even those that claim to use true HEPA filters, aren’t often independently tested like a Miele. Beyond the filtration, a series or rubber gaskets throughout each Miele creates a “sealed system.” This sealed system engineering prevents air from leaking out and ensures that all impurities are trapped in the HEPA filter.
Miele’s other type of filter, the electrostatically charged Super Air Clean filter, traps 99.95% of particles down to 0.5 microns and 94% of particles down to 0.3 microns. If your vacuum cleaner does not have a quality air filter, then you are simply stirring up allergens every time you vacuum.
Even the hygienic dust bags are designed with your allergies in mind. The tear-proof bags seal themselves upon removal so that you’re never exposed to allergens. Composed of successive layers of filter media, the Miele vacuum bags have been renamed – filterbags. This is because each layer of the bag acts as a filter, trapping 99% of all particles before the air even reaches the HEPA filter. When you factor in the multiple layer of the filterbag, plus the premotor filter, and then a HEPA filter, you have 11 stage filtration that clearly helps to set Miele apart as the best allergy vacuum available.
What Led to the Best Allergy Vacuum?
Quite simply, years of research and dedication are what have been the primary reasons behind Miele’s success. Testing, testing, and retesting, engineers at Miele are constantly seeking ways to improve the cleaning and filtration performance of their products. Like few others, Miele understands that just about any vacuum can cleaner for appearances, but there are very few that truly deliver a healthier kind of clean.
In 1998, the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute compared Miele’s performance to that of nine other leading vacuum cleaners. The study, which was published in the Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, found that a Miele sealed system HEPA vacuum cleaner captures hundreds to thousands times more microscopic particles than its leading competitors. Following this, Miele introduction of the AirClean bag only furthered their commitment to hygienic, self-sealing dust bags. Over the next several years, Miele adjusted and modified the dust bag to create the AirClean Filterbag that is now standard in nearly all Miele vacuums. More recently, the filters also changed to the slightly more stringent European HEPA standard.
In all, there are nearly 12 different Miele vacuums that have the three key standard features to be consider the best allergy vacuum. Explore Miele allergy vacuum cleaners below.
