The U.S. postal service uses them to filter risen and anthrax in mail sorting rooms. The also run at 100 cfm's which is more air flow then any cleaner I can think of. Not to mention they have a 35 year warranty and they're made in the USA!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834477214024355293.post-34715032374952478262013-03-04T11:37:06.640-05:002013-03-04T11:37:06.640-05:00I think some of the Kenmore vacuums are RoHS compl...I think some of the Kenmore vacuums are RoHS compliant.

I guess a regular furnace isn't strong enough to pull air through a HEPA filter, so they sell these add on machines that pull the air out and through a HEPA filter and then back. <br /><br />I did read a comment where someone compared aChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780735318656555763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834477214024355293.post-57116300999087945542011-02-19T23:45:42.825-05:002011-02-19T23:45:42.825-05:00Hi Christy--This seems off topic but really it'...Hi Christy--This seems off topic but really it's not (too much) :)---what are your thoughts or experiences (if any) with air purifiers? I have been thinking about researching those, because no matter how much I vacuum my house, there still seems to be dust on every surface within minutes of cleaning. Maybe some nice air purifier company could let you do some reviews and giveaways???Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11930905017929186231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834477214024355293.post-50100417203886945552011-02-19T17:37:13.082-05:002011-02-19T17:37:13.082-05:00Interesting that it doesn't sense the dog hair...Interesting that it doesn't sense the dog hair. We definitely have plenty of dog hair here so that is a consideration! As a side note, a HEPA media filter is not the same as sealed HEPA filtration. While the HEPA filter itself captures that percentage of allergens, if the vacuum isn't sealed, many of the allergens do not go through the filter and fly back out into the house. <br /><br Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780735318656555763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834477214024355293.post-9207350231871809692011-02-19T17:28:35.036-05:002011-02-19T17:28:35.036-05:00The Amazon description of my bagged Bissel says &q...The Amazon description of my bagged Bissel says "The unit monitors airflow and indicates when it's time to change the bag in order to maintain suction power, while its HEPA media filter captures over 99.9 percent of dust and other airborne allergens such as dust mites, pollens, and ragweed."<br /><br />1) My indicator does not sense the big puff ball of dog hair in my bag<br />2) KLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694177573686436594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834477214024355293.post-27275725746721467492011-02-19T17:05:48.300-05:002011-02-19T17:05:48.300-05:00lol K, we moms should totally be the ones to desig...lol K, we moms should totally be the ones to design vacuum cleaners! I wonder if a sealed HEPA vacuum wouldn't smell because only the clean air is supposed to escape from it? I can see how bagged might be better for odor control though.

Especially with owning a dog. In my experience, bagless would be my last choice for the smell factor, but perhaps that is because I haven't tried the top quality ones.<br /><br />My success with bagged Bissell PowerGlide KLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694177573686436594noreply@blogger.com
