The vacuum filter, EF-6, that came with the vacuum has a black/charcoal backing/pad but none of the replacement filters, EF-6, I've found has this protective backing. What's the difference, can such be purcahsed and what is the part number?

I wouldn't know the answer because I was so very unhappy with this machine I used it only once. I tried to get the company to respond to my problems with their product to no avail. I will shout from the highest rooftops what a poorly engineered product this is. I have it sitting in my garage if you ever want another one cheap. I bought a Dyson and love it.

The only site I ever found was zane.com I was on my cell so there was limited information. I have to go back myself to look for a new filter. Good luck! I hope you find it because it is a really good little machine. If not, I would go to the big box store and look in the vacuum section. Thanks!

I'm wondering the same thing. I cannot find any replacement filters that specifically state they are for this model. It's discouraging that the Fabreze website does not even show that they carry these little filter machines anymore. I would suggest you do not buy the unit until you get an answer. I'm going to be contacting the Fabreze company about this matter. Maybe you should do the same. Hopefully, they'll respond.

The item pictured with your question is for the vacuum bags and NOT THE HEPA FILTER. The heap filter for the Miele vacuum cleaner is Miele Active HEPA Filter SF-AH 30. Hope this helps.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

Everything up to the #40324 is true, and whether that number is the new replacement part at Sears I can't say for sure. But my old filter had the "Model #86889" number printed on it and the filter did too. The package wrapper stated "Designed to fit KENMORE EF-1" and "Sold by Sears".The filters were IDENTICAL but for the dirt on the old one. The Sears store replacement was 4 times as much so I figured I had little to lose trying it, and very glad I did.

Not sure, however it does feel like cloth. Bottom line... I accidentally threw the old filter away while cleaning it. This one fits perfectly; does the job and I can't tell any difference in the vacs performance.

Yes, you need a filter barrier to protect the motor in your vac. These can be washed and reused too. You get 3 and one lasts 6 months to one year before replacement is needed. It beats bags and keeps your vac in good working condition.

The black (carbon) face is supposed to face forward to the front of the unit. There is a notch in the filter that lines up with a notch in the filter base. The filter really won't really fit right if you put it in backward. NOW! my True Air machine plugs plugs directly into the wall socket - so we may be talking apples and oranges. Had my wall mount unit for 6 years, but I don't know if it is the same unit that you have?

Joan - You can buy replacement filters - before you do, make sure which filter came with your unit. The Manual says the filter is the VF110 FC with agitator. My unit came with the VF110 which is what the newer ones seem to be shipping with. You can recognize the VF110 because the filter is all cloth - no plastic to make it hard to clean and no agitator. Once you determine which filter you have you can order the filter. I ordered the 5 pack through Amazon for $34.95. Each filter will have a long life - most of the time you can clean the filter with a very soft brush and all the debris falls right off. Filter can also be washed - so if you have the extra filter you can use that while the other dries out. Hope this helps - let me know.

I found two versions of this filter in my local Sears. One was for threaded setup and one was for non-threaded setup/installation. My vac has threads, so I knew to get the right one. Both were 9-17816. The one I got looks different than the picture here (it has a full ring around both the top and bottom of the filter) So be careful which one you order, I guess.

Hi Diann, I don't know. I've never had to replace mine. I've been pretty good about cleaning it every 2nd or 3rd time I use it and it's held up. You might want to contact the company directly or google "replacement filters for Lazer Storm Vacuum".

These filters are the same shape as pictured. There should be a "ratings" plate on your vacuum that will have the model number. They usually place them on the back or the bottom of the vacuum. If you can't find the model number, look at photos of different Sharp vacuums and see if you can find one that looks like yours...if so, then look for replacement filters and see if you can find filters that look like the ones you need. Hope that helps!

My husband says that it goes behind the black filter and it gets replaced as needed. Hope this helps:)

Go to www.envionproducts.com to order the replacement filter: TPP240F It's $29.95 plus $9.95 shipping. I vacuumed mine regularly, however, after 2 years, it started coming apart and I had to order a replacement.

The 'A' appears to be a revision level for the filter. The DCF-17 indicates it fits all 440 series vacuums. On the vacuums, the revision level seems to be the letter at the end of the model number e.g. 443b, where the 'b' is the revision level. I suspect, the DCF-17 will fit if you have a 440 series vacuum at any revision level. I cannot be certain, but it makes sense. Note: New filter will fit very tight, so it needs to be worked into place. Amazon will take it back if it does not fit.
