Why do you change the Filter of your Handvac?

After time, it becomes covered with dirt. In addition, because I have cats, I pick the fur off the filter. Eventually it wears it out.

Eventually the filter gets clogged and you change it to maintain maximum suction.

One of my kids dumped it in the garbage when cleaning it out. By the time we realized it. The garbage was long gone

I also have the EuroPro 187 hand-held unit. I can't find a filter replacement. The item seems to be "Eu-18370" on some of these vacuum parts warehouse sites, but it's discontinued?

Bissell Filter 203-7423 by Bissell. It's just the standard filter that goes in hand vacs.

change the removable filters from the wand the one that connects to tubing. Clean the wand tip with alcohol

D, the VF110 filters are the fabric filters that should periodically be taken out and cleaned when the vacuum is full. It wouldn't hurt to have some extras on hand when you take the old one out to clean and wash it, you can put a new one right back in. Also, these may tear over time. The Pre-filter is the hard plastic filter that sets next to the VF110 filter. I wouldn't think this one would have to be replaced nearly as often. Just keep it clean.

I would say it depends on the conditions at your home. We live up in the mountains where it is very dusty, so we check it at least once a month. We'll change it based on the amount of dust on the filter paper. We can generally go a couple of months before having to change it out.

It depends on how much of the filter is covered. I change the filter before each time I use it.

The filters are usually not white when I change them. But I change them about once a year, based on amount of use.

Depends on the room it's in, our filters get dirtier in the rooms that are used more often :]

This type of filter is to be changed when breathing resistance is felt. It is for particulates and will work for fumes (welding) but not for vapors (acetone, MEK, solvents).

just filter changes..I'm sure you'd want to wipe it down etc just as a matter of normal cleaning though

Great Question :) We actually get asked this question a lot. So how often a filter needs changed really is how much use it gets. It would depend on the type of dirt you are vacuuming and how dirty your home is. The nice thing about a high end BAGGED vacuum like the Prolux is that the HEPA filters last a lot longer than normal vacuums. This is because it uses a HEPA bag and so very little dirt actually gets to the HEPA filter. So if it was my I would probably visible inspect the HEPA filter every 6 months or so. You can prolong the life of a HEPA filter by blowing it out with like a air compressor. I imagine you would need to change the HEPA filter every 1 to 2 years on average. I hope that helps :) Thanks Dustin Great-Vacs (Seller)

I just looked at the product manuals for the various Hoover vacuums this filter works for. Finally, I found a handvac manual that actually showed (and described) the foam side facing the dirt cup. As others have said, this also simply seems logical... I have the Hoover Corded Cyclonic Stick Vacuum, SH20030. This type of filter is NOT sold for this model on the Hoover site. You can buy the plain foam ones that came with this vacuum on their site. AND, they're cheaper. :) Wish I'd known that before I bought these.

I have a NUBrilliance machine..i took the wand off the hose of the original part and added the hose to the bottom of the new part. I did order filters as well.

I bought a new machine because my filter finally wore out. By that time, the timer or sensor wasn't working exactly right anyway. They aren't that expensive to replace the whole thing.

I recently purchased this vac and have not changed the filter but I did vacuum it once with my canister vacuum and it looked as good as new. I do this with my hand vac filter as well and I have had the hand vac for 4 years. I hope to get the same kind of mileage with the Spiffy Maid filter.

I use mine in a wood shop. I replace the filter when it has a noticeable coat of dust (the noiceable coat-like a layer of sweepable dust on the workbench) on it.
