Hard to find
This is a hard to find product, but it was cheap and easy to locate on Amazon.com. I did not realize it was washable when I threw out my old one. This is a great product.
Not the item pictured.
I should have paid much more attention to the other reviewers that mentioned the problem in my title. These filters did fit in my vacuum, but they do not look like the one it came with. I ran my vacuum for a very short time before I realized the problem these after market filters were going to cause. The filter is comprised of a plastic frame that is covered by a filter material that takes up too much room under the outer plastic cover that holds it on. This restricts the airflow and was about to overheat my vacuum. Needless to say I won't be using these filters. I haven't researched the return policy on them and not sure the amount is worth the effort. I just warn anyone to please use them under a watchful eye if you use them at all.
What I Was Hoping For
The pictured filter isn't what shows up when I google the name, but it is the filter I was going to replace-the papery, pleated looking one. I went ahead and tried to clean it with just warm water even though it seems papery, and it appears to be fine. (I was advised to avoid using soap, as it sometimes doesn't wash out completely and can clog things). You just have to be careful, and it does take a few minutes to do a thorough job. Hope this helps!
