True Hepa

HEPA Bagless Canister Vacuum

High Efficiency Particulate Air is also called HEPA. Standard vacuum cleaners simply bring back allergens such as pollen, into your house.

A HEPA vacuum cleaner traps the dusts, circulating dirt free air into your house.This kind of vacuum cleaner is great for those people who have asthma or allergies.

Suggested HEPA Bagless Vacuums:Hoover U5725 900 TurboPower 6500 Windtunnel is an excellent bagless up-right Hoover vacuum w/ HEPA filter. This vacuum cleaner has a powerful 12 amp motor.

A HEPA filter is coated with Teflon and only needs to be changed every 3 years which saves you lots of money and time. For the life span of the vacuum cleaner, Hoover will change the belts (free).

Since it's bagless, there would not be any dusty changes of bag. The bonus hose and the hand-powered Turbine Tool are included with a set of attachments.

Hoover gives a 2 year labor and parts warranty. Lots of people who submitted a review agree that this cleaner is easy to handle and has powerful suction.Another famous vacuum is the Panasonic HEPA Bagless Fold'N Go Vacuum. This cleaner has a folding handle for storage.

It has a 12 amp motor and weighs 17lbs. The accessories have 2 standard wands, a crevice tool and 11 foot stretch hose.

The vacuum cleaner automatically changes according to height of the carpet. Panasonic gives a 1 year warranty.

If you want a canister vacuum cleaner, look at the Shark Roadster Canister Vacuum. It shows 1 1/2 times the strength of a full sized vacuum w/ a 1300W motor.

The dirt cup has a huge capacity so there are no dusty changes to bags. It works on both carpets and hardwood. Cleaning stairs and upholstery is made easy w/ its handheld Air driven Turbo brush.

This is a portable and lightweight vacuum. Reviews appears to be mixed; it's either hated or loved. It seems most negative feedbacks revolve around the truth you should clean the filter every after each usage.

If you have allergies or asthma, a HEPA bagless vacuum cleaner is the way to go. A true HEPA filter eliminates all but .3 microns of particles. The advantage of being bagless is you don't have the expense or the hassle of changing bags.

HEPA canister vacuums allow easy transition from carpets to bare floors. Once placed in the center of a room, they're much easier to maneuver. HEPA canister vacuums have on-board tools, essential if you're going to do a cleaning.

What is the best AFFORDABLE vacuum cleaner for laminate floors (yes, we have pets).?

and the buzz about hepa filters......is that true, or hype?

AmmeMAmm is partially right, you need a floor brush such as this,

And while a canister vacuum does generally clean bare surfaces better, any vacuum with a hose will do. I use a Kirby brush on my upright Dyson all the time. The trick is to find a floor brush that will fit your vacuum because there is no "standard" when it comes to vacuum wand diameter.

HEPA filtration is definitely a good thing, but it has been hyped by low quality vacuums that leak dirty air back into your environment before it's had a chance to be filtered - NOT a good thing. What you need to look for is a vacuum that has a sealed system so that all air that passes through the vacuum exits through the HEPA filter.

As to affordable, it's all a matter of perspective. You're not going to get a good vacuum for under $150. You're not going to get a great vacuum for under $400. The cheaper the vacuum, the less ability, quality, and durability it will have. Of the cheap vacuums I'd recommend Bissell or Hoover.

The Shark Navigator and Navigator Lift-Away are both decent vacuums priced reasonably between $150 and $200. These vacuums have performance similar to that of their more expensive rivals, but build quality and durability of their cheaper counterparts.

If you want a vacuum that's going to last you for years without a drop in performance, that has hepa filtration and a sealed system, then you're looking at vacuums such as Dyson or Miele.
