The Filter Queen Majestic Surface Cleaner offers the best filtration money can buy. Its filter has Better-than-HEPA Filtration rating. If your family has special medical needs like allergies or asthma, or you simply want the cleanest vacuum available in the market, the Majestic might be just what you need. I have personally carried out an experiment to convince myself how good the Mejestic’s suction and filtration is. First, I vacuumed a very small section of my carpeted floor over and over 10 times very slowly using my regular Panasonic upright (MC-5190 7.2 AMPs with power brush). Next, I vacuumed the same area with the Filterqueen Majestic. To make certain that I was not picking up dust from the border of my first test pass, I ran the Majestic through the middle area of the test zone. The result was stunning! A Majestic filter picked up quite a lot of powdery dust that my Panasonic didn't. All the amperage advantage of my Panasonic didn't help because its vacuum bag clogs up and the suction suffered. If you have a chance to see a Filterqueen sales demo with a two stage filteration setup (the first one with a HEPA filter and the second one with a Filterqueen filter), you'll notice that the Majestic is capable of picking up very fine dust on the HEPA filter and even finer powdery dust that the HEPA filter missed on the Filterqueen filter.
