Can someone enlighten me though, what is the point of showing air being sucked through a vacuum? Apart from the "polluted air" in a room that could be diffused and filtered easily, what point in terms of dust collection does this test provoke? In some ways buyers could misinterpret dust for the smoke, couldn't they? But dust is heavier in general isn't it?

It's for show and effect. Means nothing. It's the clean exhaust air that matters. If you put a brown sandwich paper/plastic bag in the vacuum, you'll have a 100 percent sealed system. Air in, no air out. Blow up a snadwich bag, air inside sealed closed, and burst it. But, using a bag like this in a vacuum, and the motor will overheat and burn out in short order. A worthy vacuum lets air and dirt in, contains all the dirt, and lets the fresh air out. That is the MIELE forte: 100 percent sealed system. Motor lasts fur immer. Carmine D.

Thank you for that Carmine. At least that's a logical solution and response to why those tests exist.
