What is the difference between S-Class filtration and HEPA filtration?
Both S-Class filtration and HEPA filtration systems are ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers. The difference between S-Class filtration and HEPA filtration is very slight, and it boils down to the hundredth decimal place. In fact, many people use the terms “S-Class” and “HEPA” interchangeably. S-Class filtration, by definition, captures 99.9% of all particles down to 0.3 microns, while HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of all particles down to 0.3 microns. For particles that are 1 micron or larger (including dust mite allergen, pollens, mold spores, and animal dander), the SEBO S-Class filtration rate is 100%. British Allergy Foundation tests show that SEBO vacuums do not emit a detectable level of dust mite allergen. This type of filtration makes SEBO vacuum cleaners ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers alike.
