Atrix International Vacuum Cleaners

The least expensive, portable vacuum cleaners we could find with HEPA filtration. Excellent for cleaning exhibits, storage rooms -- the entire collection. All vacuums come with flexible stretch hose, crevice tool with detachable brush and black neoprene flex neck with half-inch opening to reach tight spots. All provide a minimum of 0.3 micron filtration -- ideal for soot, pollen and most atmospheric dust particles. The two larger models can be purchased with finer, 0.12 micron (HEPA) filtration.

Express VacExpress Vac (formerly Jr. Vac), our smallest vacuum, weighs 8 lb. (with accessories and box) and has a top handle. Measures 12”x 8.25” x 9.5”. Fabric carrying Tote sold separately. Two 0.3 micron filtration systems are available: (1) a disposable, anti-dump canister filter in a recycled plastic housing, or (2) a bag and shell filter combination. Low suction makes this vacuum ideal for collection cleaning. See micro-tools under accessories.

Floor tools in hanging caddyVacuum Accessories fit our Atrix vacuums, making them more flexible. Micro-tools attach to the hose to create a finer cleaning capability. Floor tools in a hanging caddy, designed for door knobs or hooks, allow general collection room cleaning. Longer hoses and hose couplers ensure any distance can be reached with your Atrix vacuum without risking the collection. We carry a Tote for the Express Vac and filters for all of our vacuums. (Floor tools come in a hanging caddy, as pictured on the left)
