Odour Filtration
The built-in anti-odour pearls
absorb bad odours inside the filter
bag.
These pearls have and incredibly
large activated surface area.
Each gram of these pearls has an
equivalent surface area of around
6 tennis courts.
The open porous structure adsorbs
the smell deep inside the anti-
odour pearls where it remains.
Combined with the Dovina
fragrance chip your house smells
fresh and clean.

9 times patented
Premium Filterbag FP 40
A total of 9 patents are proof of
the highly innovative technology
used for the FP 40 Filterbag.
The new FP 40 Filterbag’s capacity
to retain micro-particles and
allergens is guaranteed for 3 years
from the date of manufacture.
After this period, retention capacity
decreases, just as the HEPA filter.
However, this has no effect on the
usability of the filterbag and does
not damage the appliance.

There are many sources of
household dust: people and pets
continually shed scales of dead
skin tissue, hair and fur. Normal
life habits (household chores,
cooking, eating, hobbies, smoking,
etc.) create other kinds of dust and
particles. Particles and heavy
metals get into our homes every
day through doors and windows,
on shoes, clothes and anything else
brought in from the outside.
Mattresses, upholstery, carpets and
rugs trap this dirt, and produce
dust themselves as well.
Household dust is thus made up of
organic and inorganic substances.
High concentrations of certain
types of these substances, called
allergens, can cause allergies, even
in people who have never suffered
them before. By allergy, we mean
an overreaction of the body to
other wise innocuous substances in
the environment. Many of these
substances, to which many people
are allergic, are produced by mites
in household dust.
Dust mites belong to the arachnid
species (like spiders) and feed
mainly on dead skin and bacteria.
People with allergic illnesses
usually have a hereditary
predisposition to developing
hypersensitivity to ambient
allergens, but more often than not
it is prolonged contact with these
substances that effectively
generates the reaction. Since
people spend most of their time
in confined spaces, care for our
homes is a fundamental factor in
caring for our health.
Caring for the home doesn’t mean
just removing visible dirt
(traditional cleaning) but also
eliminating invisible dirt,
hazardous to our health, to
improve the quality of life in the
domestic environment. Vorwerk
has long since gone beyond the
simple concept of vacuum cleaner.
Our challenge is to provide
families with a global system for
removing dirt: easy to use,
manageable, quick and versatile,
able to reach into every corner of
the house to prevent dirt
accumulating. Vorwerk has fitted
its appliances with a state of the a
filtering system, capable of
retaining 99.97% of particles
down to 0.09 microns.
For this reason, Vorwerk
appliances have been awarded the
prestigious TÜV and HEPA
markings for their anti-allergic
effectiveness and quality. These
filters are a real help, especially
with small children and pets
around the house.
