also remember that "<font color="#444444" face="Arial, Tahoma, Verdana"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:19.6px">HEPA/ULPA filter are only as good as its gasketing and framing when installed and because all HEPA filters are used in critical applications, in-place HEPA filter testing should be mandatory." </span></font></div><div><font color="#444444" face="Arial, Tahoma, Verdana"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:19.6px">An important reminder of the many HEPA advertised low-end vacuums that do not have good fittings/gaskets/silicone rubbers or framing in their built, this makes the filter to be loose and all particles are expelled between the smallest of gaps. </span></font></div><div><br></div><div> </div><div>Hope this helps</div><div><br></div><div> Best

The idea is that a good vacuum cleaner can substantially help housekeeping, because ca. 95% of the usual commonplace insect pests and their eggs may be got rid of via the rotor speed, low pressure inside the vacuum cleaner, or dehydration. Of course, this device is NOT meant for direct use on objects or specimens (we have a vacuum for that).</div><div><br></div><div>It will be good to hear if you have experience with specific brands of good vacuum cleaners with the following guidelines - </div><div><br></div><div>1.
