Asthma question: I get an asthma attack every time I vacuum and am on the lookout for a vacuum that keeps the allergens in. Is this one effective?

It does have an odor, an odor that smells likes machinery, but I've had asthma and allergies my entire life and I like this machine. It does not smell like dust that you just vacuumed up. Btw, I forgot to say, I've had asthma my entire life, and it often helps to use albuterol via pump or via nebulizer about 5-10 minutes before vacuuming. At times it didn't help, it was best not to vacuum. This vacuum however has not put the dust back into the air like many with HEPA filter do. In the past I had a $400 vacuum that put out zero smell, but it broke and cannot be fixed. So I tried this one from amazon and it works well, the only smell I detect smells a bit like metal and grease, but no smell of dust going back into the air. I hope this helps

yes it works great! I have a dog and a cat and it works like a charm. My son has asthma and since i have used these in each room of the house he has less attacks.Hope this helps.

it is a great air cleaner but for allergy I would get the ones that pull dust from the air, like the ionic ones. This is great cleaning the air and making it smell great for things like smoke, I'm a smoker but no one smells smoke when they come to the mancave. I run this along with ionic air cleaners to get rid of dust they work great in combo you might want to think of getting both. Hope this helps.

There are several reports about the Hepa filter on this vacuum does not work & mostly leaks. See the reviews herein on Amazon. If these are true, what a scam Eureka is imposing on it's customers.. I wonder if Eureka has fixed this problem? my guess is no because the Hepa filter is probably too small to handle all the air flow so they have to bypass some of the air flow around it & into the house. It's a shame they don't respond to this issue. The other does not have a Hepa.

I don't know - I'm not trying to relieve allergies with it, only reduce odors, and it does do that. Dust mites are a whole 'nother thing. I think I would get a tabletop air purifier, seal my mattress, things like that - which I should do also but haven't done yet. But these little machines are not very expensive and it might be worth it to try one.

i had an ionic breeze that i discovered was causing a chronic cough, headaches, and a couple other detrimental side effects. i use it a lot less now and just warn that it can be overdone.

I think that I have to say, "It is not allergen-impermeable" with the recent purchase. I have bought all new bedding stuff. But just once recently. used a 2 year-old anti-allergy quilt for a night, the kid sneezed whole night . What I notice is that the quilt cover I bought a few years ago (2 years ago?) was air-impermeable when it was zipped up and after lots of washing are becoming air-permeable, which means that when I made up the bed the cover was filled with air and I had to let air out gently. The ones I bought recently have the same problem. Also as the quilt is so thin, I have a thought that maybe one day, everything can be made without real material with the helping of some advanced technology.

We tried everything- all "best " nose Aspirators out there and baby vac is most effective because it cleans out the deepest. Just be careful not to ruin your vacuum. We almost damaged our Dyson Ball vacuum. Now We r using portable tiny auto vacuum with this.

Just a quick note - I have this Electrolux, hard wood floors, and a dog. I also have the Dyson "animal". I am STILL looking for a solution as neither of these do the job in spite of the expense and hype! If anyone out there has found a real solution - please share!

We used ours last summer driving through areas of smoke from fires in our crew cab pickup. My husband has asthma and is very sensitive to smoke and it worked great. It also works for pet odors or fumes from traffic. We were very pleased with it and the price was good.

I don't know if it's the best because I haven't owned all of the Bissells but we have a cat and we all (family of 5) have allergies and this vacuum does so well for us. We don't have any issues with our allergies so long as we vacuum every few days.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are saying you ordered a certain Hoover vacuum and didn't get it, then I would have to respond by telling you that did not happen to me. I am 100% pleased with my Hoover. Best upright vacuum I have ever owned.

I've got 2 of these and my house is still very dusty, despite bi-weekly professional cleaning. I do know that the germguardian does help, since it's filters get filthly as well and need frequent cleaning themselves. But you shouldn't count on it to keep your house dust-free.

I have allergies too. I use this for dusting everything in the home. It makes quick work of dusting large and small areas. It fits into small spaces. I love it. I still go over thing once in a while with Windex, but for weekly cleaning it works great and is very fast. I find I do a much better job of dusting with this brush. Things like doors and around windows that I did once in a blue moon I do about every other week now since it is so fast.

I forgot to replace it one year and after a few months too many, I started to smell dust even after vacuuming. Once I replaced the filter, the dust odor went away after one or two vacuumings. It's expensive, but necesary. Would love to know if anyone has had good experience with the generic version for 1/4 the price!

I just love my Edenpure G7 . I have asthma and the clean ionized air has been a life saver for me. When I get up in the morning I start the ionizer and throughout the day I use the sanitizer and purifier . It is a wonderful air cleaner for summer and winter when the heater is blowing. I highly recommend it to anyone, try it!

From my own experience with HUNTER Ceiling fans and HUNTER Air Purifiers I have found them to be VERY VERY QUIET. As far as affecting a medical condition that you have it would be wise to consult your personal physician. I also have issues with dust, which is why I have always found HUNTER Products the best for me. I have never considered cost the issue with me because a good night of sleep is PRICELESS!
