Question from Cheryl3
We have a one floor home mostly carpet and some tile (which usually mop not vacuum). We are considering a Hoover Platinum bagged upright w/cannister (model UH30010com). We need something light because I’m not good w/heavy/cumbersome things. It has a HEPA filter and gets excellent reviews (for dust control and other issues) on Amazon, priced in the low to mid $200’s. It has a self sealing bag to contain the dust when emptying it, but my question is: is this effectively the same as a “Sealed HEPA System”? We’re not super allergic to dust but do want to reduce it substantially. I didn’t want to go too expensive because down the road (not for awhile though) we hope to get rid of the carpet and have hard wood floors installed. The canister is for dusting, furniture and bare floors. Any thoughts or experience? Thanks very much.

HEPA is a specific type of filter that is extremely effective at collecting particles.
If the label doesn’t say “HEPA” it’s not the same thing.
