Whenever we throw something away, it quickly falls out of mind. Whether it's the vegetables that have just passed their expiration dates or the socks that have seen better days, tossing something into the trash is one way of getting undesirable things out of sight and out of mind. But what if something you threw away came back? Depending on your vacuum cleaner, you might be releasing harmful dust, dirt, and other allergens back into your home every time you empty it out.
Bagless vacuum cleaner owners can attest to the cloud of dust that can appear when their dustcups are emptied, but just how much dust escapes back into the air? Do bagged vacuum cleaners produce similar dust clouds? A 2015 IBR Laboratories study--dubbed the "Moving Dust Cloud" test--compared a Miele Complete C3 Alize canister vacuum cleaner against bagless Dyson and Shark upright vacuum cleaners to determine how many dust, pet dander, and pollen particles are released back into your home during dust disposal. This study also shows how far those particles can travel across your home.
This test demonstrates a clear difference between bagless and bagged vacuum cleaner dust disposal. Whereas the bagless Dyson and Shark respectively released 1,340 and 17,033 allergens, the Miele Alize's bag released only 99 dust, pollen, and pet dander particles back into the air. In under fifteen minutes, these re-released particles can travel from the kitchen to even distant bedrooms and living rooms. This can be annoying, but it is also potentially harmful to your family's health. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) links particle inhalation to aggravated asthma and allergy symptoms, irregular heartbeat, bronchitis, decreased lung function, and other respiratory and cardiovascular complications.
In so many words, the Miele Alize's dustbag released significantly fewer allergens than the bagless vacuum cleaners' dustcups did. A single look at one of these bags will show you what a difference they can make. Miele AirClean FilterBags are constructed from nine layers of cloth that can trap up to 99.99+% of the dust, dander, pollen, and other irritants that pass into them. When the bag is removed, a spring-loaded cap covers the bag's opening to ensure cleaner disposal.
