Question:
Does anyone have any suggestions for a vacuum suitable for someone with
allergies and chemical sensitivities? I have been using a Nilfisk vacuum
for a couple of years with pretty good results. However, it has lately
picked up some odors in the HEPA filter as well as the motor itself. I
am sure that the odors are a result of vacuuming up dog fur and dander
from the carpet. I am not allergic to dogs but I am very sensitive to
the odors that seem to multiply in the vacuum bag and filters. Is anyone
aware of a HEPA/ULPA vac that also has a significant amount of charcoal
in the filter to absorb odors?
Answer:
I have asthma, and smells used to bother me quite a bit. (asthma is
under control now) For many years, I have been using a Rainbow sweeper.
All the dirt is trapped in water - there is no bag or filter. It's
messy to empty, but it does pick up a lot, and there isn't any dust
smell coming through a bag or filter.
Barry here of www.aircleaners.com The rainbow rated very poor with consumer
reports.Plus its not a HEPA Filtered vacuum. I used to sell nilfisk but I switched
to the miele medi- vac. It works great and its ten times more user friendly then
the nilfisk GM-90 This is not a spam .Its my feelings about these Vacuum units,
