The Healthiest Vacuum Cleaners for Your Home - Article Health

Clean carpet, clean air
The right vacuum is key for good health. "Dust can trigger allergies and asthma," says James Sublett, MD, a spokesman for the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. Vacuuming with a good machine cuts the amount of dust you inhale. We tested models with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which filters out 99.7% of small particles. Here, our top picks.

Best home buys winner
If you want to actually capture all that dust, dander, and other allergens—and not just blow them back out into the room—your vacuum must have a sealed HEPA filter. Miele vacuums are known for their super suction power (even the less expensive models have 1,200-watt motors) and crazy longevity

Best of the best
The dirt: The WindTunnel nabbed deeply lodged crumbs and dirt, even when used on a sheepskin rug. Our testers loved the "dirt finder"—a red light tells you there’s dirt; green means you’re dust-free. The dust bag is made of a HEPA-grade weave, so irritating particles can’t escape.

Best bargain
The dirt: It may be small and light, but our budget pick packs a powerful punch. At only 8 pounds, you’ll be able to breeze through your chores with no strain on your shoulders or back. Plus, without all the bells and whistles of more expensive vacuums, you’ll be able to operate this machine without even reading the instruction manual.

Best for pets
The dirt: Suction is key on this model that sucks up everything in its path—yes, even pet hair, and yes, on both hard and soft surfaces. The added Pet TurboEraser tool eliminates unsightly pet hair in hard-to-reach places like the stairs and the upholstery of your couch.
