HEPA filtration goes a step further and the standard demands not only for the final post-motor filter in a vacuum to be HEPA-grade, but every single filter and seal throughout the machine. HEPA filtration is available on the Dyson V15 Detect™ vacuum and traps 99.97 per cent of microscopic particles and allergens as small as 0.1 microns.⁵
