Water Filtration Vaccum Cleaner

Hi ozbargainers,

Had some questions regarding vacuum cleaners; specifically water filtration vacuum cleaners. The idea is that it actually removes dust/allergens from house; not just suck it up and go through the HEPA filter before spreading around the house again.

Looking at the Sirena Vacuum Cleaners range. https://www.sirenasystem.com.au/

Pros:
-Dust particles are absorbed within water
-No filtration filters that need to be replaced
-Quiet/Low Power mode that can be used for air cleaning (dust/allergens)
-More long term cost effective when compared to air purifiers that have replacement filters. Filters are generally porus

Dis:
-Expensive (~$1300-$1400AUD)
-USA/Candian design might not be suited for Australian conditions?

I know I might sound cynical, but is this too good to be true?

Thanks!

    They're heavy too. The unit is 13.23kg and another 3.5kg for the water tank. That's as heavy as a lawn mower.

    Wow never heard of such a thing… I dont understand how this is better than a HEPA filter? Are you worried about stuff that passes through the HEPA filter? You sure this stuff will be captured by the water based device?

      This apparently has water filter medium with HEPA filter on top. So theory is captures "stuff" better compared to traditional bagless designs.

      Wasn't sure what the ozbargain view was. I was thinking its too good to be true hence the questions.

    So you had some questions or one question?

    My brother has one and it worked really well when he showed me. was easy to see the dirty water after vacuuming an already cleaned floor. I think it was called a Rainbow.

    But way too expensive for me to justify buying lol

    I'm no engineer or anything, but I really don't understand how this works? It sucks air through a tank of water? In videos the water is spinning, which means tonnes of turbulence and air bubbles in the water. Bubbles that will carry particles.

    Anyone care to enlighten me?

      I assume that the air bubbles are broken down fairly small and the dust particles stick to the water. More turbulent water would make more bubbles, meaning more surface area for the dust to stick. I'm sure if you can find an article on the science of using a bong that might explain it better hahaha
