Miele Vacuum Filter Definitions

Active HEPA Filter

The Miele Exclusive, Filtration Guard and Stick vacuums use an Active HEPA filter, which captures and retains 99.99% of all particles, including allergens: tiny, lung-damaging particles (as small as 0.3 of a micron). As it removes dust particles and allergens, the filter also eliminates odors. The filter should be changed once a year or after every 5 dust bag uses.

Super Air Clean Filter

The White Star vacuum uses a Super Air Clean filter, which is designed for normal household use. Made of multilayered electrostatic material, this filter captures and retains 99.95% of particles that are 0.5 microns or larger and 94% of particles that are 0.3 microns or smaller. The filter should be changed once a year or after every 5 dust bag uses.

Micron Filter

The Powerhouse vacuum uses a Micron filter, which offers the same filtration as the Electrostatic filter. The filter should be changed once a year or after every 5 dust bag uses.
