Hoover Wind Tunnel is Amazing for maybe 5 minutes to 10 but that hepa is filled with every use. & suction goes way down with the smallest debris.
I literally am combing the hepa after each use as the pleats are coated with a powder. I don't know what it is
maybe cement dust from the concrete under the padding? but Ihave done this now for a few weeks & it never ends.
Thing is I'm glad its getting this stuff but the cleaning the filter is an awful mess. I do it outside & ity flies everywhere.
I suppose its really doing a great job of filtering so I am putting up with it but thought it would end & it still picks up things.
So it works well but is very limited time use & for me just a after vacuuming additional pain just to see the rugs still are a mess.
Maybe we are not meant to be filtering that highly but to think all that powder crap is around is not pleasant.
Reg vacs must just blow that crap out the exhaust containing just the large particles.
Maybe we should have air filters instead.
Did you see that Mielhe guy w his meter
Seems every vac but the miele is not good at capturing all the particles.
I lug that Hovver around for a few minutes just to have the fun of purging the filter of that dusty filth but I don';t have anything better to take care of it
but that windtunnel sucks amazing & the naps stands up better than anything I've used yet so I deal w it
You sound like a candidate for a Dyson. I used capture with no problem. No loss of suction and no dust back in the room from the exhaust.
