Exceptional cleaning performance
The Guard L1 is engineered for superior cleaning, thanks to its perfect synergy of a high-performance fan, streamlined air circuit, and tailored accessories. These elements work together to create a sealed system that delivers maximum suction power and hygiene. Featuring new side vents with an effective, soil-repellent fabric covering, the Guard L1 ensures a uniform and pleasant airflow while reducing noise. Its powerful engine combines impressive performance with energy efficiency, so you can enjoy exceptional cleaning results with a clear conscience.
Ultimate hygiene
The HEPA filter¹, in combination with our HyClean Pure vacuum cleaner bags, captures and purifies 99.999%² of elusive fine dust particles that traditional cleaners often miss. The Guard L1 ensures not only a spotless home but also cleaner air, allowing you to breathe more freely and comfortably.
Even if you choose a Guard L1 without the HEPA filter, you can easily upgrade your vacuum with one at any time.
A perfect match
The Guard L1’s ComfortFit³ system ensures that the vacuum cleaner bag is always securely positioned within the vacuum. Designed for a flawless fit, it locks the bag in place without slipping, preventing any dust from escaping. Together, the vacuum cleaner bag and appliance create a perfectly harmonised system for optimal hygiene, protecting both your home and the vacuum for a longer service life.
