When the dust settles Miele comes out in front

Doctors identify vacuuming as an activity that can trigger allergies or asthma -- especially with bagless or poorly sealed machines that introduce allergens back into the air. The good news is there are allergy-friendly vacuum cleaners that effectively clean homes while protecting the air families breathe.
 
Allergy-friendly vacuum features
Miele, a leader in vacuum filtration, recommends we teach consumers to look for three key components that work in combination to trap and contain lung-damaging particles. The first is a completely sealed system to ensure that dirt stays inside the vacuum; second, a good vacuum bag that will prevent dust from escaping when they empty it and third, a post-motor HEPA filter that captures any tiny particles that may exit in the vacuum’s exhaust.

“For Miele, safeguarding the air our customers breathe is a major priority,” stated Tasmin Weston, Miele Product Manager. “Miele’s Sealed System™ technology, together with our exclusive self-closing IntensiveClean Plus™ dustbag and Active HEPA filter provides real relief for allergy sufferers. In fact, only Miele vacuums have received the DMT Air Quality Institute’s prestigious HEPA Certification for conforming to stringent European standards.”
 
Proven to clean homes & the air families breathe
Miele also received the exclusive hygiene seal of approval from Germany’s TUV Laboratories. The test results measured post-vacuuming air for traces of fine particles, fungal spores and allergens. Miele vacuum cleaners were proven to actually reduce the levels of pollutants in ambient room air and have legendary durability with high performance ratings.
