What is HEPA Filtration (Vacuums)?
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to capture at least 99.95% of particles down to 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen and pet dander. Vacuum cleaners with a sealed HEPA filtration system are particularly useful for allergy and asthma sufferers, as they prevent fine particles being recirculated back into the room.
What is a Warranty vs a Guarantee?
A guarantee is a manufacturer's promise that a product will work as described, often free and separate from your statutory rights. A warranty is typically a more formal, sometimes paid, contract covering repair or replacement for a set period. In the UK both sit alongside — and cannot reduce — your Consumer Rights Act protections.
