PPV600 Stick Vacuum Cleaner
Parts & Description
HEPA is a type of pleated mechanical air filter. It is an acronym for “high
efficiency particulate air [filter]” (as officially defined by the U.S. Dept.
of Energy). This type of air filter can theoretically remove at least 99.97%
of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and any airborne particles with a size of 0.3
microns (µm). Particles that are larger or smaller are trapped with even
higher efficiency.
