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
