Dirt Devil F1 filters are quite common because they use advanced HEPA technology. That is really good. In fact, you probably just heard it’s good while you don’t really understand what that means. By discovering the meaning of HEPA acronym, you will be able to decide whether you need Dirt Devil F1 filter.
So… What does HEPA stand for?
HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air. That means that those filters are using advanced technology to protect you from dust and dirt. They are catching literally everything that is bigger than 0.3 microns because they are made of material similar to fiberglass.
Ok… But what does 0.3 microns really mean? Is that enough to protect me and my familY?
0.3 microns is thousandth piece of millimeter. So yeah, that is extremely small number. Pretty much everything that is dangerous can’t go through that. For example: dust, dirt, allergens…
In the end, the main difference between usual and HEPA filter is the amount of dirt and dust that goes through when vacuum pulls in the air.
If you will ever have the opportunity to choose between ordinary and HEPA filter, choose HEPA Dirt Devil filters – even if you have to pay more.
