Miele Sealed HEPA Vacuum Cleaner
A sealed HEPA vacuum cleaner is a must to keep the particulate levels in the air down - including mold, allergens, dust, pollen, dander, smoke, odors, bacteria, viruses, VOCs, and biotoxins.
Some of these particulates, like dust and dander, are food for mold and bacteria that you don’t want to overgrow in your home.
Sealed HEPA vacuum cleaners are not common. Most HEPA vacuum cleaners do not have true HEPA filters. Most HEPA vacuum cleaners also aren’t sealed. That means that as the particles come in, a lot of them leak back out through cracks and seams in the casing of the vacuum.
This is one of the fancier, long-standing brands of sealed HEPA vacuum cleaners on the market.
I WOULD NOT buy this vacuum cleaner if you just found out your have a mold problem in your home or anytime before remediation and post-testing has been completed. You need to get to the point where you house has been deemed mold-safe before you consider investing in a high-price machine like this.
Once your environment is cleared as mold-safe, you can consider investing in a more expensive sealed HEPA vacuum like this if you want one that will last longer than the cheaper brand I recommend on my site.
Note! Not all Miele models utilize HEPA filtration, so make sure you’re looking at the models that do, like this one.
