A HEPA vacuum is only as good as ALL the air seals in the system.  A vacuum with a HEPA filter that leaks air where the hose connects to the vacuum, for example, doesn’t fully protect you.  As a general rule, cheaper vacuums have poorer seals/connections.  That said, I’d still take a decent Shop Vac with a HEPA filter over one without it :-)
