Euroclean HEPA Vacuum

The Euroclean 934H Allervac is for those customers who want a canister-style HEPA instead of an upright vacuum. This vacuum filters to the HEPA (high-efficiency particulate arresting) standard of .3 microns. Regular vacuum cleaners remove only large particles down to 50 microns and simply pass the smaller particles right through the collection bag and back into the room; the allergen content of the air can actually increase from 2 to 10 times more than before vacuuming. One particular culprit is the dust mite, a major contributor to asthma: Without an allergy vac or central vacuuming system, the mites are shot out the motor’s exhaust. HEPA units are also better than water bath-type vacuums because particles of 5 to 15 microns are only partially soluble in water, and particles below 5 microns (which include dust mite parts and wastes) are not water soluble at all.

The Euroclean, made in Sweden, features three-stage filtration: pleated cartridge dust filter (pre-filter), motor exhaust filter and HEPA filter. There's also a two-layer filter bag. The vacuum has two large wheels and two swivel casters for easy portability, rubber bumper to protect furniture, built-in carry handle and 30-foot cord. Comes with crevice tool, combo upholstery/dusting brush, floor/carpet tool and five dust bags. Optional turbo nozzle for deep-pile carpet can be purchased separately. Weighs 14.5 lbs. Dark blue with black accents.
