The HEPA Hipster adds certified HEPA filtration to the same hip-worn platform as the Super Hipster (30-2001). A 1.5 HP motor produces 150 CFM of airflow and 95" of water lift at 70 dB — 1 dB higher than the Super Hipster — while the HEPA filter captures particles down to 0.3 microns at 99.97% efficiency. For facilities where airborne particle documentation matters, the 30-3001 provides the same mobility and ergonomics as the Super Hipster with filtration that meets healthcare, remediation, and institutional air quality requirements.
30-3001 Specifications and HEPA Filtration Details
- Motor: 1.5 HP — same motor platform as the 30-2001 Super Hipster, producing 150 CFM and 95" water lift
- Filtration: HEPA-rated — captures 99.97% of airborne particles at 0.3 microns; the Super Hipster uses standard bagged filtration that does not reach this threshold
- Noise: 70 dB — 1 dB higher than the Super Hipster (69 dB); the slight increase is attributable to the HEPA filter's airflow restriction adding minor motor load
- Capacity: 6 quarts — same as the Super Hipster; sufficient for mid-size cleaning circuits before bag replacement
- Weight: 12 lbs — same as the Super Hipster; the HEPA filter adds negligible mass
- Body: impact-proof polyethylene with stainless steel latches; reversible cap for ambidextrous operation
- Tool kit: 5 pieces — 3" round dust brush, 5" upholstery tool, 14" scalloped floor tool, 17" crevice tool, 2-piece aluminum wand
- Cord: 50 ft safety cord, 115V
Where the HEPA Hipster Is Specified
HEPA filtration is required — not optional — in environments with documented indoor air quality standards. Hospital patient areas, assisted living facilities, school classrooms with allergy-sensitive populations, and post-construction cleanup where drywall dust or silica particles are present all require HEPA-certified vacuum equipment. The hip-worn form factor is particularly valuable in patient room circuits, where the operator needs free hands to move furniture, adjust the hose angle, and clean under beds and chairs without putting the machine down. The 70 dB operating level does not exceed the noise limits common in hospital or office cleaning guidelines.HEPA Hipster vs Super Hipster: When the Filtration Upgrade Matters
For standard commercial cleaning — offices, retail, standard hospitality — the Super Hipster (30-2001) produces identical cleaning results at a lower price. The HEPA upgrade is meaningful when your facility requires certifiable filtration for air quality compliance, allergen reduction documentation, or mold and remediation protocols. If you are unsure whether your facility requires HEPA, consult your facility manager or the relevant OSHA or JCAHO guidelines for your industry. Both models use the same 5-piece tool kit, 50 ft cord, and reversible cap.| Model | 30-3001 |
