TOP 10 best vacuum cleaners for asthmatics and allergy sufferers
The design of a vacuum cleaner for asthmatics and allergy sufferers is not much different from a conventional dust collection unit, but there are several main features that characterize this type of product. This is the presence of an additional fine filter, a reliable dust collector, the presence of a large number of attachments and simple maintenance, which implies quick removal of debris from the container with minimal contact with allergens. You should also pay attention to the value of the useful power of the device - the higher it is, the more effective the final cleaning result will be.
10 Shivaki SVC 1748
We begin our review with the most inexpensive but very effective vacuum cleaner with a Shivaki SVC 1748 aquafilter. Despite its affordable cost, it has all the criteria necessary for high-quality cleaning. The model is equipped with a volumetric tank for water filtration (3.8 l), an additional HEPA barrier and has an excellent suction power for products of such a low price category - 410 watts. In addition, buyers noted the low noise level during operation (in the technical passport this figure does not exceed 68 dB), reliable assembly and high quality of the materials used (there is no specific smell of plastic, which many other budget devices "sin" with).
Some users considered the “weak point” of the product to be the need to wash the dust container and change the water in the filter after each cleaning. However, this feature is inherent in all structures of this type, and cannot be objectively considered a disadvantage. By the combination of positive characteristics, we can confidently call Shivaki SVC 1748 the best vacuum cleaner in terms of price-quality ratio.
9 VITEK VT-1833
The Russian brand VITEK is considered one of the most popular on the domestic market of household appliances. And, although most of its products are manufactured in China, the democratic pricing policy and the variety of the model range make the vacuum cleaners of this brand very popular with buyers. VITEK VT-1833 with an aquafilter and a turbo brush in the kit scrupulously removes small debris from most types of surfaces, and a five-stage collection system does not give dust and bacteria any chance to escape. The performance of this unit is also quite decent (especially for such a low price) - 400 W with a power consumption of 1800 W. From the pleasant "bonuses" the product provides for automatic winding of the power cord, there is a vertical parking and a regulator of operating modes (on the case).
The vacuum cleaner does a good job of keeping the apartment clean. The reviews from the owners of VITEK VT-1833 are mostly positive, although there are complaints about the quality of the plastic and the low strength of the structure.But, since the model helps to effectively eliminate most of the causative agents of allergic reactions in the apartment, we considered it right to include it in our TOP of the best.
8 ARNICA Bora 4000
The ARNICA Bora 4000 vacuum cleaner can also be classified as a device recommended for use by people prone to allergies. This traditional dry cleaning machine captures dust with the patented DWS filtration system, which eliminates up to 99.9% of fine particles. The product is equipped with an aquafilter and also equipped with a HEPA-13 class fine filter. Of the additional characteristics, a large number of nozzles (5 pcs.), A reliable reinforced hose with a guaranteed service life of up to 10 years and the possibility of air aromatization deserve attention.
Customers liked the simplicity of the device's maintenance - the structure can be easily disassembled and washed, and the absence of costs for consumables increases the economy of the model. To the "minuses", commentators attributed only a loud hum during work, but this does not in any way affect the effectiveness of the cleaning process. In general, the Turkish Bora 4000 fully copes with the task, effectively cleans the house from dust and dirt, and improves the hygiene indicators of the room atmosphere.
7 Bissell 17132 Crosswave
Not every manufacturer of vertical vacuum cleaners has models with an aquafilter in their assortment. Most often, such products belong to cyclonic units, therefore they are rarely chosen for cleaning rooms where allergy sufferers or asthmatics are located. However, the developers of the Bissell 17132 Crosswave managed to successfully combine compact dimensions, maneuverability and a high degree of collection achieved with a small water filter (volume - 400 ml). A HEPA-13 wash filter with an efficiency of at least 99.95% is used as an additional barrier. In addition, the vacuum cleaner pleases with its versatility, since it can perform not only dry cleaning, but also qualitatively washes away dirt from all types of surfaces.
The main shortcomings of the users were the high price of the equipment (more than 20 thousand rubles), the rather heavy weight with all the filled reservoirs and the lack of adjustment of the suction force. As for the rest, no complaints have been revealed about the device - according to the owners, the Bissell 17132 Crosswave is perfect for both daily and general cleaning of the apartment.
6 KARCHER DS 6 Premium Mediclean
The representative of the professional line of the famous German brand KARCHER DS 6 Premium Mediclean was developed specifically for cleaning places with increased requirements for sanitary standards. The model is actively used for cleaning premises in children's institutions, hospitals, hotels, but due to its ergonomic design, the equipment is also convenient to use for household needs. As a dust collector in the product, an aquafilter with a capacity of 2 liters, which is already traditional for anti-allergenic vacuum cleaners, is used, which allows you to thoroughly process large areas in one cleaning cycle and retains up to 99.95% of suspended particles. Another characteristic feature of the device is its low power consumption - with a consistently high suction power, the power consumption is only 650 W.
Judging by the reviews, the buyers were satisfied with the result of using this device. Without exception, all users noted that after cleaning with the KARCHER DS 6 Premium Mediclean, the air in the apartment became noticeably cleaner and fresher. The obvious "disadvantages" of most owners called the high cost of consumables and some general bulkiness of the equipment.
5 Thomas Perfect Air Allergy Pure
According to the manufacturer, Thomas Perfect Air Allergy Pure is specially adapted to the needs of allergy sufferers and asthmatics, and having studied the technical characteristics of the model, we have no reason to doubt this statement. The package includes a water filter AQUA-PURE-FILTEBOX, a washable HEPA-13 filter, an anti-pollen filter that retains the smallest allergens, and a carbon barrier to absorb odors (optional). The absence of dust bags ensures consistently high working efficiency regardless of the degree of container filling. And its compactness and attractive design, combined with an affordable price, make this vacuum cleaner one of the most popular products among buyers.
In their comments, customers highlighted good suction power, maneuverability and functionality (the product is ideal for cleaning hard floors, carpets, mattresses and upholstered furniture). At the same time, some users complained about the rather fragile plastic of the aquafilter, which requires careful handling. Otherwise, no defects were found in the Perfect Air Allergy Pure.
4 Dyson DC37 Allergy Musclehead
The Dyson DC37 Allergy Musclehead dry vacuum cleaner is presented by the manufacturer as an equipment ideal for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. The proprietary Radial Root Cyclone system helps reliably trap even the smallest particles as small as 0.5 microns in diameter. This allows you to purify the indoor air, making it free of pollen, micro-particles of mold and other harmful bacteria. Additional comfort is provided by the ergonomic design, which is the use of exclusive Ball technology. Due to the shift in the center of gravity, the models of this series remain stable even with not too careful operation. They have increased maneuverability, easy to move, do not get stuck on turns and overcome all obstacles on the way.
The best qualities of the Dyson DC37 are high suction power, compact size and no need to replace components. Most criticism in the reviews was caused by the loud operation of the vacuum cleaner, as well as a rather short power cord, which is why you have to use an extension cord when cleaning large rooms.
3 Polti FAV30
The Italian Polti FAV30 vacuum cleaner is a unique example of household appliances that allows you to achieve the highest results in the fight for cleanliness of floors and air. In addition to dry cleaning, the model provides the ability to treat surfaces with a stream of hot air, which guarantees the neutralization of dust mites and other harmful microorganisms that cause asthma or allergies. When connected to the construction of a steam disinfector, you can effectively clean mattresses, upholstered furniture, children's toys and other "favorite" habitats of antigen carriers at home. The use of a vacuum cleaner for ordinary dry cleaning is no less justified - a water filter with a capacity of 1.8 liters reliably retains all collected contaminants, preventing them from entering the air.
Unfortunately, such good results are only achieved when using large amounts of electricity. And, although the manufacturers claim that the installation of a new engine helped to improve this indicator, the power consumption of the steam generator is as much as 2450 W, which is much higher than that of all devices presented in the rating.
2 Miele SHJM0 Allergy
This vacuum cleaner belongs to premium technology and this is evidenced not only by its high cost compared to similar products, but also by its excellent operational capabilities, thanks to which Miele SHJM0 Allergy took such a high position in our TOP-10. The vertical device is best suited for cleaning in difficult conditions - its design provides for the most extensive range of all the models considered (14 m), and a large number of various attachments provides a particularly thorough treatment of any corner of the apartment.
Great design, excellent build quality, convenient power control and, of course, superior performance make this equipment one of the best for home and office use. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a highly efficient HEPA-13 filter, has 9 filtration stages and is distinguished by a reduced hum during operation, thanks to the introduction of a special noise reduction system. At the same time, the power consumption is only 1500 W, which is quite a bit for such a functional device. The only "minus" is the high cost, which is why Miele SHJM0 is not in proper demand among the population.
1 Thomas Allergy & Family
The Thomas Allergy & Family washing vacuum cleaner rightfully occupies the first line of our rating, since it was he who deserved the greatest number of praise from experts and ordinary users. Thanks to the AQUA-BOX filtration system and innovative debris suppression technology, all allergens (pollen, mites, fine dust) that enter the device are reliably bound by water, which completely eliminates the risk of their return to the air. The suction power is 325 W and remains unchanged throughout the entire operation. The model is equipped with a large number of attachments (there is a storage space on the case), allowing you to handle any, even the most difficult to access places in the apartment. Also, with the help of this maneuverable equipment, you can effectively clean upholstered furniture, carpets and even wash such delicate surfaces as parquet and laminate.
Most buyers named Thomas Allergy & Family as the best for families with young children, allergy sufferers or asthmatics. According to the statistics of the popular service for the search and selection of goods, this vacuum cleaner received the maximum rating in such categories as the quality of cleaning, ease of maintenance and comfort of use.
