IQ Power Tools Upgrades 426HEPA System with Advanced 4-Stage Filtration Technology and Increased Capacity

By FLOOR Trends & Installation Editors
iQ Power Tools iQ426HEPA Vac
Ken Ballin
June 30, 2025

The iQ426HEPA Advanced 4-Stage Filtration System now includes a HEPA H14 filter. This system boasts a primary and secondary cyclonic filtration, a Durabond filter, culminating in the HEPA H14 filter, adept at capturing ultra-fine particles and ensuring the highest level of air cleanliness.

  • High Efficiency: Delivers a powerful 190 CFM maximum airflow (Measured at the motor), suitable for demanding environments
  • Capacity: Features a robust 50 lbs. / 10-gallon capacity, minimizing the need for frequent emptying
  • IQSmart Power Management: An intelligent system that optimizes energy use for peak efficiency
  • 7 Cyclones: Includes 7 individual cyclones for unparalleled dust separation and filtration
  • QuickSpin Filter Cleaning: Allows for easy and quick filter maintenance, ensuring continuous operation with minimal downtime

Professional tile setter, Ken Ballin, owner, Skyro Floors, reviewed the tool in his feature story "10 Tool Innovations Every Flooring Contractor Should Have on Their Wish List." He said, "IQ revealed a modification to the 426 HEPA vacuum. While the vacuum itself is the same as the original version, they've upgraded the cart to accept a continuous bag system, similar to larger models on the market, increasing capacity—a much-needed improvement for larger grinding jobs."
