What does not work in-home. You should know? Through a particulate analysis on YouTube, I show how well the Miele vacuum works and truly traps the dust. My findings prove that the Miele Vacuum is completely sealed and really is HEPA. <a href="http://www.killdirt.com/products/miele_canister.html"> Miele Vacuum Video As Featured on ABC 7 News</a> You can see from this video that the Miele will trap all of the particles in a cloth like bag that self-seals on its way out and you are actually purifying the air in your house by vacuuming! The filtration is 99.95% effective at 0.3 microns which is amazing. Thanks to its HEPA filter and super intensive clean bags the vacuum is able to achieve this kind of filtration.

TRUE HEPA air purifiers, trap the dust and particles with a minimum efficiency of 99.97%, up to 0.3 microns &ndash; as measured with my particle counter seen in <a href=" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pJMsskDQ0c&feature=related">my YouTube Air Purifier Videos &ndash; As seen on ABC 7</a> Over the years, HEPA filtration has become a marketing scheme deployed by both vacuum cleaner and air purifier manufacturers to lure customers to buy products that do not meet the HEPA definition. Most vacuums and air cleaners that I have tested on the market claim to be &ldquo;HEPA,&rdquo; however, lack the filtration efficiency and other important benefits that are intrinsic to HEPA technology &ndash; so they are &ldquo;fake HEPA.&rdquo; They are simply imposters that do not deliver what they claim &ndash; in other words, they do not trap the dust. To precisely find real HEPA machines, I test products (where the air flows through) with the particle counter. It is important to note, that I not only test the middle of the filter, but also the side edges and other areas of the chasis, where more often than not, there is high readings due to leakage.
