FAQs

What does "HEPA certified" actually mean, versus "HEPA-type"?

A HEPA-certified vacuum has been independently tested and verified as a sealed filtration system that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. In contrast, terms like “HEPA-type” or “HEPA material” typically refer only to the filter media itself and do not indicate that the entire vacuum has been tested or certified to HEPA performance standards. The VK811PH features filtration that has been independently certified to meet this HEPA benchmark, not just marketed with the name.

Is this vacuum safe for lead paint or renovation dust cleanup?

The VK811PH is EPA RRP compliant, meaning it meets the EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule requirements for cleanup on projects involving lead-based paint, common in homes built before 1978. That makes it a suitable choice for contractors working on older properties.

Can this vacuum help with allergies or asthma?

Yes. The HEPA filtration captures particles as small as 0.3 microns, including common allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander, which can help reduce airborne irritants during cleaning compared to a standard vacuum that recirculates fine dust back into the room.

What's the difference between the HEPA filter and the exhaust filter on this vacuum?

The VK811PH uses 4 stages of filtration: a HEPA microfiber pre-filter and HEPA filter, and a tear-resistant sealable collection bag to trap debris, plus a separate HEPA media exhaust filter that filters the air before it's released back into the room. That combination keeps captured dust from escaping back into your space.
