Yes, but and I didn't want to say this - but I will now.
Miele are clever with their marketing! The more layers they add, the more money they charge. It's all about business and less about health. The current filters available are evidence of that - the Active Air Clean which I use is cheaper to buy than the so-called "HEPA" filter for those with allergies. I can promise you that there is very little difference between the two. Miele knew that for years - the reason being that the current TimeStrip filters no longer have the charcoal added to the HEPA filter grid that Miele overly charge.
On the basis that Miele claim BOTH filters shift 99.95% of allergen/emissions, one has to ask what is the point of the HEPA filter if it can't shift more over the carbon added Active Air Clean filter?
