Is the dust filter just a piece of removable mesh that slides out, or does it click/lock into place?

It clicks and locks into place, but the mesh screen is glued to the plastic sliding panel.

The metal tang on the mount slides into the detector and locks into place when fully engaged. The detector has a button that allows removal from the mount.

It fit just fine no complaints. Just be sure you eliminate any and all dust bits as I missed a couple and it's very annoying!

you can remove the dust cover, with the mount attached. Not used it yet ,seems solid.

I believe the filter basket holder swings out to the side so you can insert or remove the plastic filter.

It was delivered as one piece. I've never tried to remove the inlet valve and don't believe it is removable. I bought the product because I had dust particles on my camera sensor and it worked great.

No it slides into the slot, but this one sticks out further than the original

At first it is kind of difficult. You have to pry open the filter. I used a knife. There are small tabs that hold the filter together. Once you pry them apart. it becomes much easier. Now I don't have to do that. They come apart very easily now. Hope this helps.

It should unscrew in the counter clockwise direction. Try tapping the filter gently with a wooden spoon or something like that to break it free.

Yes. The filter part is easily removed and does not touch the screw top lid.

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

Yes, it screws off but the threads are on the outside. Some aerators thread on the inside. See if your filter can screw on that way. I don't have a filter on mine.

It's just part of the filter holding inert that you turn rapidly to agitate the filter, dropping out the larger chunks. This thing is awesome, honestly. Highly recommend the vacuum.

It's pretty easy. Just pull it out and shake it in the trash. I usually knock it against the side of the trash can a couple of times to remove the dust collection. Then just push it back in. Oh and based on the previous response, you push the button on the front to release the top collector. I usually have to pull it off, flip it over, then reach down and pull out the filter.

There is a cover that slides over the filter and holds it in place. It is part of the vacuum (does not come with the filter). Is your cover missing?

You hold the rod above the filter securely, then turn filter counter clockwise. ( viewing it from bottom) it should thread out.

Line up the valve openings on the wall mount with the filter wings. Gentle push up with a turn of the filter body. This should seat and engage the new filter. It does not screw in. Just a firm push and turn. Hope this helps.
