Does this filter have a sealed plastic bottom or is it open?

The bottom is sealed. The open top fits very snugly around the vac motor, sealing the assembly.

Yes. And each filter in box is plastic sealed. Can't go wrong in buying a lot as they are packaged to not deteriorate.

Hi, good question. I became curious myself. When you open the top the filter pops out easily. Everything screws back together nicely without it.

Mine was sealed in a plastic bag, but I can't say if it was air tight because I didn't stick it under water to test it. (shrug) Sorry I can't be of more help. I do know it works great in my Filter Queen defender.

Yes, mine came sealed and I had to break the seal to open. It is NEW and the same that I have gotten from the company.

I just looked at ours and it appears to be completely sealed. Hope this helps!

It is a box with six unlabeled, collectively (NOT individually) wrapped filters crammed into it. In my case, the box was six inches too small, so four of the filters were flattened and two (the ones on the outside) were crushed. They didn't even bother to seal the box - the two top flaps were simply joined at an angle and taped, so the contents were exposed to the elements on both sides throughout shipping.

Yes, the 'plastic thing' is attached to the side of the filter which allows you to slide the filter into place inside the unit.

No. The unit is not sealed. The filter slides out for easy servicing (See the picture).

Hi Bill, good evening. As far as I can remember, it has no plastic part but the filter as I recall is aluminum. I hope this helps.

Yes there is a hard clear plastic cover with a small round feeding hole in the front. Good little tank but found the filter too strong for my betta so I got a sponge filter instead.

When I bought mine, it was not opened. It was sealed in the box with plastic.

No. If yours is made like mine, it has a slat where your hand goes to simply pull it open. After that, you slide the old filter out and slide the new one in and close it up.

It's metal filter, just screw it apart, wash and ready to go again. The whole can and filter are stainless steel.

I do not know which replacement filter you are referring to, so probably cannot answer your question. I used to buy my filters from Electrolux but for the last year or so, have purchased them from Amazon. The filter I use seems identical in every way to the one I purchased through Electrolux. Same packaging, style etc. So far I have had no problems with the plastic cracking. This opaque plastic is the one I have used since buying my Electrolux refrigerator six years ago. The only reason I purchased thrpough Amazon was the speedy delivery, Electrolux took much longer to send shipment. Hope this helps.

Mine was in a plastic case inside of a B+W box. However, the seal on th box was broken, and the filter appeared to have been used. The next time I purchase something like this, it will be from a local dealer.
