I know you probably have your mind made up, but this is just for your information.
From the Simplicity web site:
A second popular form of filtration on the market is electrostatic filtration. Electrostatic filtration is a super-efficient medium designed for high airflow performance with a unique quality that attracts dust particles.
It is a fact that the new Kirby bags are made of this very same electrostatic HEPA material. The Kirby bags actually filter down to .1 microns. That's right, The air in your house will be much cleaner after you finish vacuuming with a Kirby than before you started. Nothing but totally clean air gets through the Kirby Electrostatic HEPA bag. | ||

Well, not all expensive vacuums last. The price doesn't justify it always.
Yet again Lori, that Simplicity link is misleading. Electrostatic filtration FORMS part of the HEPA filter and is usually ALSO FOUND in the dust bag that magnetically charges and allows dust to cling to the material AS WELL AS ensuring air flow at the same time. Miele dust bags for example are Electrostatic in nature and have always been since their earlier days of the IntensiveClean types before the HyClean bags were introduced. BOTH electrostatic and HEPA filters trap dust particles though. Electrostatic filtration however will NOT absorb stronger odours that sit in the bag or bagless canister - so things like pet hair that will sit rotting in a dust bag will eventually permeate back into the room. HEPA filters eliminate the smell of rotting dog/pet hair in general. Also HEPA and S-Class are the same, just different names - S-Class was first before HEPA came along. At the end of the day, a bagged vacuum cleaner is going to be better for dust allergies. It is also better for those with breathing allergies where dust is concerned. | ||

Even better than HEPA filtration... Is ULPA filtration. ULPA filters are used on some of the specialist vacuum cleaners from Nilfisk. | ||
