[PADG:1214] RE: HEPA vacuum cleaner (portable)

["Morris, Pat" <Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use a Nilfisk vacuum.  It has filtration down to .3 microns.  Cost is about $1800, but it is lightweight and sturdy and has been hauled all over the state to sites with mold problems.  If you need more info on the source, I'll send it on.

Hello all,


We are looking for a lightweight, portable vacuum cleaner with HEPA
filtration to use primarily in dusting books in our stacks, but possibly for
other uses as well.  Does anyone have any particular recommendations?  Any
qualities that we should be looking for or avoiding?



Thanks for any help,
