Respected forum members,

We urgently need one Vaccum Cleaner for cleaning the dust accumulated outside the book kept in book stores of our library.

 

While searching over Internet I found that any vacuum cleaner fitted with HEPA filter is good for cleaning books. HEPA is a type of air filter. HEPA means High-Efficiency Particulate Air. To qualify as HEPA by US government standards, an air filter must remove 99.97% of all particles greater than 0.3 micrometre from the air that passes through. Though there are many in the list, by going through description, I found the following interesting

 

1) Atrix Omega Vacuum Cleaner: Affordable Model, For Books, Dusty Environment, Office use, With true certified HEPA or UlPA filter. The Price is $ 182.50.

2) Atrix, Omega Supreme Plus Vacuum Cleaner: The quiet model, For Books, Dusty Environment, Office use, With true certified HEPA or UlPA filter. The Price is $192.80

Again, while searching others specific vacuum cleaners for cleaning books, I found the following

1) SHOP-VAC® BOOK STACK VACUUM CLEANER: It is unbreakable lightweight, portable vacuum with extra-large capacity filter bag and 18” cord. It includes 6 x 1 1/4" hose, 6" floor nozzle with rug and brush shoes, Shoulder strap, Crevice tool, Round brush, Accessory adapter, 20" extension wand, Starter pack of two filter bags, Measures 24 3/4"H x 11 1/2"W x 14 3/4"D, Uses 120 volt AC current, 1 Year Limited Warranty. The Price is $135.00.

Now could anyone guide us to make our decision?
