Nilfisk GM80 Professional HEPA Vacuum is the sealed HEPA canister professional remediators reach for when the job has to be done right.
Nilfisk GM80 Professional HEPA Vacuum for mold cleanup
Why the sealed H13 system matters
The GM80 runs a sealed, factory pressure-tested 4-stage H13 HEPA system. That sealing is the whole point for mold work: air is forced through the filter instead of leaking around the seams, so the spores you pull off a surface stay trapped rather than blowing back into the room. It moves roughly 128 CFM with about 94 inches of water lift, enough to pull settled spores out of porous surfaces.
Built for the job
This is a professional canister, not a household vacuum. The 3.2-gallon capacity and 39-foot cord are sized for remediation passes, and the build quality is why it has been an industry standard for decades. It is dry pickup only, so pair it with a wet/dry machine for water-damaged material.
Who it’s for
Choose the GM80 if you want the machine remediation pros trust and you are doing serious or repeated mold cleanup. If you mainly need household maintenance, a lighter canister will do; if you need wet/dry versatility, look at a shop-style HEPA vacuum instead.
