Notably, the vacuum model is touted as "the only allergen vacuum to eliminate 99.99% of [allergy-causing dust mites and pollen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clorox-pure-allergen-neutralizer) using heat and the same UVC sanitizing light that hospitals use." The vacuum boasts [HEPA filtration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airmega-350-and-450) and air redirect suction technology to protect fabrics, especially as it targets dust mites that live on soft surfaces in the home. As well as being a timely release for the springtime and the start of allergy season, the handheld RS Pro vacuum is being introduced to consumers at a time when they may be spending more time than usual at home, which can aggravate allergies.
