As a gift, I received a circular Honeywell air purifier, model 50100. It has a
"Lifetime HEPA Permanent Filter" which one is suppose to vacuum. I'm trying to
make sense of this logic. When you vacuum the HEPA filter, you're pulling the
fine particles away from the filter and spewing it everywhere via the vacuum
cleaner. I'm sure there's some logic behind it, but it just isn't all that
obvious right now. Insights are appreciated.

Do it outside?

Yes, that option occurred to me. I'm trying to avoid it, since I live
in a highrise (no balcony). Also, many appliances warn users not to
use them outside. I've never known why, but of the prevalence of the
warning, it is likely to be well-founded.

Hey!! You learn pretty quick. How bad did you get screwed when they bent you
over for that thing?? Did you get kissed after??

Of course, you could do the vacuuming outdoors, and disperse all them nasy
particles out to the world. At least they would not be indoors with you.

You could also clean the filter with compressed air, and not worry about the
vacuum bag. Just clean out the filter at your local auto repair garage,
where they won't notice the extra particles.
