  • Filters
    • Active H.E.P.A. Filter (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter not only captures and retains tiny, lung-damaging particles (including dust mite feces and pollen)
    • It also uses the same Generally Activated Charcoal filter (GAC) that the Active Air Clean filter uses to absorb odors
    • It conforms to the new stringent European standard for filtration (EN 1822) which means that it actually traps 99.99% of all particles as tiny as 0.3 of a micron
    • These filters are so well designed that they only need to be replaced after 50 hours of use, or approximately 12 months
    • There is also a convenient spot to write the date on the filter, which takes the guesswork out of when the filter should be replaced
  • Bags
    • 4.76 quart, Type G/N, HyClean dustbag, with spring-loaded, self-sealing collar
    • Miele's revolutionary and patented dustbag is an important component of the vacuum cleaners filtration system
    • The unique HyClean bag is a 9-layer fortress of electrostatically charged material that traps micro-sized debris in the airtight vacuum chamber
    • With its spring-loaded, self-locking collar you're never exposed to the tiny, lung-damaging dust and allergens you worked to vacuum up!
