In addition to residential applications, the Nilfisk GM80 Residential Vacuum Cleaner is a popular choice for light industrial and commercial vacuuming tasks. This model is often used for reliable dust cleanup and contamination control in cleanrooms, factories, manufacturing plants, and other sensitive areas. If you are a contractor, the GM80 HEPA Vacuum can also help you comply with the EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule.

Sealed, Multi-Stage Filtration

Whether you're vacuuming the rooms in your home or a sensitive space, the last thing you want is to risk releasing harmful airborne allergens and pollutants back into your environment through the vacuum exhaust. That's why the Nilfisk GM 80 Residential Vacuum is a completely sealed unit equipped with a robust, four-stage filtration system. This helps ensure that your vacuum's exhaust—and your environment—remain clean. This four-stage system includes:

• Filtering Dust Bag – Nilfisk synthetic dust bags collect most of the large dust particles and debris you encounter for simple disposal. Smaller particles, such as fine dust and allergens, move through the dust bag to be captured by the remaining filters.


• Main Filter – This oversized filter maintains a steady, even airflow to prolong filter life and ensure optimal vacuum and filtration performance. The filter retains 99.8% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.


• Micro-Filter – This Nilfisk vacuum features an optional polyester micro-filter designed to protect the vacuum motor and filter out microscopic particles, such as bacteria. This filter is efficient in retaining 99.5% of particles greater than 0.2 microns in size.


• HEPA or ULPA Filter – As the final and most effective stage of filtration, the GM 80 Residential uses a HEPA or ULPA filter to capture and contain even the tiniest allergens and particles. HEPA filtration is efficient in removing 99.97% of particles sized down to 0.3 microns. ULPA filtration is even more efficient, removing 99.999% of particles down to 0.12 microns. Your choice of filter depends on the amount of filtration you're looking to achieve in your environment.

Other Key Features

The Nilfisk GM 80 Residential Vacuum Cleaner includes more key features to ensure reliable and effective vacuuming for years to come.

• Thermal Motor Protection – This vacuum features a motor thermal protection device that prevents overheating whether it's caused by a failure to properly maintain filters or an accidental blockage in a nozzle or hose.


• Double-Insulated Motor – For safety, the GM80 Residential is equipped with a 1,100-watt double-insulated motor that further prevents electric shock. This type of motor also enables the vacuum to accommodate an electric power nozzle (Part #M70030) for deeper powered cleaning.


• Interference Suppression –Nilfisk residential vacuum cleaners have interference-suppressed motors that will not interfere with sensitive electronic equipment.


• Large Carrying Handle – Easily tote the vacuum from space to space using the large, stable carrying handle.


• Trolley – A detachable trolley helps the vacuum glide easily over your floors for hassle-free cleaning.


• Ball-Joint Attachment Couplings – Nilfisk vacuum attachments feature ball-joint couplings that allow 360 degrees of movement without damaging the hose or creating knots that reduce suction.


• 5 Dust Bags Included – A pack of five 2.25-gallon dust bags is included in the vacuum package.

EPA RRP-Compliant

If you are a contractor, the Nilfisk GM80 HEPA Vacuum (1790032) can help you comply with the EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule. In addition to using a HEPA filter, this vacuum can accommodate a turbo floor nozzle or electric power nozzle with beater bar to improve lead dust removal on carpeting. The Nilfisk Turbo Floor Nozzle – Part # 56649625 and the Nilfisk Electric Power Nozzle - Part # M70030 (both sold separately) work to dislodge heavy lead particulates that may have accumulated in carpet fibers overtime. Using a HEPA vacuum like the GM 80 equipped with a floor nozzle that features a beater bar when cleaning carpeting is required to remain EPA RRP-compliant.
