An important factor when buying vacuum cleaners are suction performance, not power consumption. This is an important factor in the presence of allergies. Energy consumption in this case does not play a big role. For an average person, the suction is 300-350 W, and for an allergy sufferer, at least 400 W is needed.

Vacuum containers are often used with fabric containers. For the allergy sufferer, this option is excluded. Reusable containers can only worsen the situation. Since the air is filled with parts of wool and dirt. In addition, in the dust stored in the bag, dirt and bacteria remain for a long time, as well as mold, which is also an allergen.

For allergy sufferers, vacuum cleaners with disposable containers are more preferable. There are containers made of non-woven material. It is multi-layered and protected by foil. One of the advantages of this design is the availability of a hygienic valve. The hygienic valve closes itself and saves from contact with dust. Apart from these, there are plastic containers. For allergy sufferers, they fit more. You can press the button and the contents will fall into the garbage chute. You also can choose bagless vacuums.

With this scheme of the vacuum cleaner, a dust cloud is not created, since microscopic particles do not get stuck in lumps.

 

Plastic or metal? So, from what material the pipe is made. Of course, the metal is more durable than plastic. When choosing a metal pipe, it is necessary to give preference to the telescopic construction. The details of the telescopic construction of the vacuum cleaner tube are usually extended and fixed in a convenient position. In the latest models of vacuum cleaners there are curved pipes that are designed for cleaning hard-to-reach places.

Usual vacuum cleaners are not suitable for people with allergies. The specifics of the work of a conventional vacuum cleaner is such that when it is sucked, it releases dust particles into the air. Additional particles of dust rising into the air from the curtains, upholstery furniture and carpet are capable of provoking an exacerbation.

For allergy sufferers, vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter are suitable. Their work is based on the fact that an air stream is passed through the water tank. The mud settles in the reservoir and, most importantly, most of the substances causing the allergic reaction.

Among people with increased sensitivity to dust, vacuum cleaners equipped with HEPA filters (High Efficiency Particulate Arresting) are popular. These filters are equipped with an air dust collector, which has high efficiency.

According to experts, the filter system keeps up to 99.97% of dust particles, pollen and various allergens up to 0.3 micron.

The use of these filters ensures the safety of the air in the apartment.

Pay attention to the number that stands after the abbreviation HEPA, it must be at least 12 - this is the filter class, indicating the degree of its effectiveness, the number 11 - the lowest, 16 - the high.

So, we have already decided to pay special attention to vacuum cleaners with powerful suction, which in many respects are preferred for allergy sufferers.

Vacuum cleaners with powerful suction, perfectly eliminate dirt. But they can stick to the floor, making it difficult to clean and reduces suction power.

To move, you need to tear off the vacuum cleaner from the floor. To solve this problem, use a nozzle with star-shaped wheels that adjust the level of the clamp to the floor. This saves power and energy. Using additional attachments to the vacuum cleaner (for example, nozzles for slots, corners and upholstery) will help make the dust removal process even more effective. It is quite popular vacuum cleaners-transformers. Three-in-one models eliminate the need to stop the process.
