Vacuums: Successful dust management starts with this simple task: regular vacuuming. However, most vacuums blow out a large percentage of the dust that they are supposed to be removing. For those sensitive to dust, this domestic chore can lead to an increase of symptoms. This is why it is essential to replace your vacuum cleaner with one that is equipt with a HEPA air filter and has hygenic sealable bags for disposal of the collected dust. These models have been tried and tested and I believe them to be the best range available.

SEBO Leaders in Technology
SEBO have been instrumental in the development of the modern vacuum cleaner.
They have introduced new technology to make machines which are more user friendly, more reliable, and give better performance. SEBO also work hard to manufacture in a way that is better for the environment.

Hoses on upright vacuum cleaners are now common place, but it was SEBO who originated the concept. SEBO's first upright model (the SEBO 350), on sale in 1978, featured the first built on hose and the first use of electrostatic filters. It also was the first upright to incorporate a clutch protected, timing belt driven brush. The SEBO 350 also had the ability to lay completely flat and was light and easy to use. This machine was to become the worlds' biggest selling commercial upright vacuum cleaner.

In 1982, SEBO introduced duo-P carpet cleaning powder, and in 1984 the worlds' first electostatic microfilter.

In 1986 SEBO were the first company to make upright vacuum cleaners with electronic brush control and safety shut off.

The built on hose with integrated wand was introduced in 1991.

Today you can see the development of these technologies in the SEBO automatic
X range. S-Class electrostatic micro-filtration, a telescopic hose system, computer controlled height adjustment with auto safety shut-down, cassette style brush roller removal, permanent timing belts, and three layer bags for totally hygienic dust disposal.

SEBO are also at the forefront of production technology. Recycled plastic is used for unseen internal parts such as motor covers. Water from the factory roof is filtered and stored in an underground reservoir for factory use. The factory even generates its own electricity. Hot air from the generator room is pumped into the warehouse to keep the temperature stable and the liquid coolant is pumped through the office radiators. Unlike other manufacturers who 'batch test' or randomly test products coming off the line, SEBO test every single vacuum cleaner to ensure that every customer gets the best quality machine.

If you or your children suffer from allergies or asthma, then the type of vacuum cleaner you own can make a vast difference in your quality of life. A good vacuum cleaner helps control dust mites, pet dander, and other allergens by sucking them up and trapping them for disposal, making your indoor air cleaner and more breathable. Choosing a good vacuum can be a daunting prospect, so Allergymatters have put together a quick ratings guide to make your choice simpler.

 

It is important to take the following into consideration:

Power
The motor power, measured in watts determines the horsepower of the vacuum. The higher the wattage, the more powerful the machine.

Weight and Comfort
Before purchasing a HEPA vacuum cleaner, look at the product specification of it and find out its weight. The last thing you want is a vacuum cleaner that is too heavy (especially if you have lots of stairs to contend with) and means you are unable to use it.

Tools and Accessories
To enable a thoroughly clean home you need a small army of cleaning attachments to assist your HEPA vacuum cleaner. Most vacuums come with standard attachments, which are extremely helpful when cleaning. If however you require other tools for more specialised cleaning jobs, the manufacturer's will usually supply additional attachments at an extra cost. It is therefore worth considering what cleaning jobs you intend to do and what tools you will need to carry out those jobs.

Our ‘Tools’ symbol explained:

Basic range

Good range

Comprehensive range

Dust Capacity
It is important to consider the capacity of the dust collecting chamber or bag on your vacuum. The larger the capacity the less often you will need to empty or replace it.

Power Settings
Many vacuums come with different power settings to control the strength of the vacuum suction when cleaning. This is very useful, particularly if you are using your vacuum for a variety of tasks. For example, you would probably use a stronger suction on deep pile carpets to ensure thorough deep cleaning between the pile, but you would not necessarily need to use the strong suction for dusting objects like skirting boards. A vacuum with this feature allows you to have more control whilst cleaning.

Filters
If you suffer with allergies, such as asthma, hayfever and eczema, it is really important that you choose a vacuum that comes with an allergy filter. We recommend that you choose a vacuum that comes with a HEPA or HEPA type filter which can capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size and can prevent the spread of bacteria making it the sensible choice all around. You may also need to consider whether the filter is washable or whether it needs replacing. If the filter is replaceable take into account the cost to replace it and how often you would need to change it.

Cable Range
There is nothing worse than the constant starting and stopping of cleaning, because your vacuum cable is not long enough to reach the other side of the room! When choosing your vacuum, make sure the cable range is long enough to clean the areas, including those hard to reach places that you need to do.

Noise
People often think that their vacuum cleaner is not working if it is not making a noise! Knowing this a manufacturer intentionally made their vacuum cleaners noisier to assure people that were doing their job. If your vacuum cleaner is quiet then do not fret – this is a good thing! It doesn't mean that the vacuum cleaner isn't performing correctly, it just means it is a great package overall! A quieter vacuum reflects a better quality of motor.

Style: Canister v Upright

Upright vacuums – stand on their own and are a favourite to buy if you have thick and plentiful carpet to clean. Some come with or without handy attachments that clean those hard to reach places. They are best for removing pet hair and for those who want a larger vacuum bag. Advantages of HEPA upright vacuums area it’s strength and power on carpeted areas and their simplicity of vacuuming upright.

Canister vacuums - are smaller than the upright vacuums but still are extremely powerful. Their compact designed case rolls along the floor and follows behind you whilst you vacuum carpet, furniture or upholstery. HEPA canister vacuums can move around easily hardwood floors without making wheel marks. A helpful long hose is attached to canister vacuum cleaners so you can clean thoroughly in those hard to get areas. HEPA canister vacuums come with many handy vacuum tools that provide easy and efficient cleaning of most surfaces. An advantage of Hepa canister vacuums is their ability to reach in and around furniture making sure you don’t miss a spot
