Non-Miele HEPA Filter compared to Miele

Shows what is inside a HEPA filter from Miele for a C3 Vacuum cleaner v a cheaper product that also describes itself as a HEPA filter.

The charcoal filter is NOT a HEPA filter.
It is designed for odour and not specifically for viruses.
The HEPA filter should be superior in terms of particle filtering down to 0.3 microns. Genuine Miele filters have a longer lifespan.
Apples and oranges. Hope that clears the confusion up.
