The right vacuum is key for good health. “Dust can trigger allergies and asthma,” says James Sublett, MD, a spokesman for the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. Vacuuming with a good machine cuts the amount of dust you inhale. We tested models with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which filters out 99.7% of small particles. Here, our top picks.<\/p>\n

Our testers loved the “dirt finder”—a red light tells you theres dirt; green means youre dust-free. The dust bag is made of a HEPA-grade weave, so irritating particles cant escape.

But this bargain-shoppers delight gets the job done. It aced our spilled-dry-oatmeal test, and its low-maintenance: The bagless canister was the easiest we tested to dump, take apart, and wash. “Theres nothing fancy about this vac, but it did a great job picking up spilled potting soil from my carpet and mystery food bits from under my fridge,” commented one tester.

Theres a myriad of useful attachments, too, including a flexible contour tool for hard-to-get spots, like armrests and stairs where pet hair can collect. The vacuum also gets rid of chunky pet-food bits.<\/p>\n Extra credit:<\/strong> No need to mark your calendar for when to change the HEPA filter—the “clean filter” indicator light will come on when its time to get a new one.<\/p>\n hoover-vac-150.jpg<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n
