Vacuum cleaners have been doing their job cleaning up all the dust and loose debris that accumulates in our carpets and floors for decades. But, the dirty and sometimes inefficient cleaning accomplished by vacuums with their traditional filters leaves some room for improvement.

The Quantum X Upright Water Filter Vacuum is proof of a better way, the world’s first upright vacuum that filters dirt and grit out of your environment with the help of water, from carpet to hardwood to tile.

Rather than passing vacuum suction through a foam or paper filter to dry at catch and trap dirt, debris, germs and bacteria, the Quantum X passes that suction through water instead. It has the added benefit of reducing dust kicked up into the air during the suction process that is usually spread back into the air through a traditional vacuum’s exhaust.

And while traditional filters can often clog, the Quantum X sanitizes both the floor and the surrounding air without ever losing suction or airflow.

All Quantum X owners have to do is empty water out of the tank and replenish it with a fresh supply. Meanwhile, the basin is also lined with microsilver, which kills potentially harmful pathogens that get sucked into the vacuum, including germs, bacteria, and viruses.

The unit features an 18-inch telescoping head that can be rotated to help get to all the hard-to-reach places dust and dirt can hide; as well as a 10-foot extending hose to help grab and the grit and grime that settles above floor level.

The Quantum X can even be augmented with fragrance drops that basically turns the whole vacuum into a giant diffuser, delivering your favorite scent into the air while you clean.
