The European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF) awarded its Seal of Quality to vacuum cleaners Marathon, Jewel, Performer and autoclean Pro Floor. The Seal of Quality recognizes products and services suitable for allergic persons.

Allergens (animal hair allergens, dust mite allergens, etc.) are present in every normal household environment. People sensitive to these allergens can suffer allergic reactions, which greatly reduce their quality of life.

This certified vacuum cleaner with its HEPA 12/HEPA 13 Filter, guarantees with 99.95% certainty that almost all the air in the room will be filtered along with the normal vacuum action. This removes almost all allergens from carpets, furniture, etc.

The firm Philips DAP, Houshold Appliances, is located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
