A:Answer I ordered my Miele years ago from an allergy specialty catalog. I’m allergic to dust, mold, dander and sensitive to a wide variety of chemicals. Most vacuums emit a “motor fume” while they are running, that really bothers me — the Miele does not (it has an exhaust filter), and fine particulates are caught by the HEPA filter. It’s considered to be a “medical grade” appliance, so it’s about as hypoallergenic as one can get. We LOVE ours, but a workman recently trashed it (we were devastated bc it’s SO important to us!) and now we are shopping for an identical replacement. I think you’d be as happy with this as we have been. Worth every penny!
