Canister Vacuum with Anti-Allergy Seal and HEPA Filter

SEBO is well-regarded as the best vacuum brand for allergies, and this model is their top-of-the-line pick that will remove dust as well as particles much, much smaller from your home thanks to its HEPA filter. Importantly, it is thoroughly sealed to ensure nothing escapes once inside. Because the canister is separate, it can hold a lot, and the stick-style vacuum portion can easily reach under beds and couches, where dust accumulates. The canister holds a bag that seals so you can easily throw away the contents without increased dust exposure.

Bagless Vacuum with Anti-Allergy Seal and HEPA Filter

This Shark model is the most affordable vacuum for allergies and general dust removal that is a step above all standard vacuums, because it has both anti-allergy seal and HEPA filtration. It is a little more difficult to get under small spaces like beds or couches, but its hand nozzle attachments are great at cleaning couch cushions and other hard-to-reach places. You can wear a KN-95 mask while emptying the contents into the trash (and do it when you’re outside so you don’t re-suspend dust back into your home.)

Robot Vacuum + Mop

If you’re busy, or detest vacuuming and mopping, a robot vacuum-mop combo is ideal, because it takes care of daily dust for you. Eufy’s options consistently perform well in third party performance testing. They have allergy care certification, which is impressive, meaning the dust bags will not release their contents into the air. This is important not only for allergy sufferers, but for general exposure reduction to everything toxic in dust. Some come with self-cleaning stations, and there are a wide range of price points, which I appreciate.

Cordless Vacuum Mop Combo

The Tineco iFloor 3 is the best vacuum- mop combo I’ve found. I use it to clean my hardwood floors because I found I was never up for vacuuming first, then using our olde tyme mop. It’s so satisfying, and cleans itself when you’re done. I use my own cleaning solution— a teaspoon of Aunt Fannie’s and warm water.
