Thought I'd pass this tip on to other users of the Dustbuster cyclonic models ...

I have the 15.6 volt Hepa model, CHV1500. Needed to get a filter so I called Black and Decker to see if the VF100 (instead of the VF100H) would fit my model. They said yes, but told me I could also buy part 244631-00 instead. (BTW, this is the pleated paper filter.) I asked what the difference was, and they said the only difference was that VF100/VF100H comes in a fancy retail box. But part #244631-00 just comes in a plastic bag. Another difference ... and this is the best part ... the 244631-00 costs about $3 each versus more than 3 times as much for the retail boxed version. So I ordered two of the 244631-00 secondary filters, plus a plastic washable pre-filter as I wanted an extra one of those too. The part number for the pre-filter is 598083-00 and costs about $1.25 or so. With shipping, the entire order came to just $11.41! Shipping was only about $3 or so. If you order the more expensive boxed filters, shipping will be $7.99 instead since the total dollar amount of your order will be more. So if you want filters, don't get the boxed ones. Call Black & Decker at 888-678-7278 and order the unboxed parts. I can assure you these parts are identical and work fine. My order just arrived today (took about 1 week to get here) and I just switched out the entire filter assembly that came with my dustbuster with the new pre-filter and secondary filter. Works fine, and now I can still use my dustbuster while I wash the original filter assembly and let it dry for 24 hours.

I'm not exactly sure what each part costs as I ordered over the phone and the shipping slip didn't have prices, but I checked my credit card account and the total charge was as they told me it would be -- just $11.41 for two secondary filters and one pre-filter plus shipping! So the prices I listed above are close. Order through that phone number and you'll save money too!

i have the orginal filter for the black and decker. i remove the filter and soak it in mild dish detergent, i then rinse it thoroughly under warm water under the kitchen sink faucet. i then let it air dry. while i dry the filter, i then use a large coffee filter inplace of the pleated filter until the filter is dry. the coffee filter works like a charm. i like to invent my on concoctions.

It did take a long time to get the item.It seems manufacturers are quick to promote and sell a product but always make replacement "filters" a challenge to find and receive.

the VF100 replacement filterVF100H DOES NOT fit my dust buster ! the specs state "fits all CHV Cylonic hand vacs " . not even close ! try to find a HEPA filter for the B&D model CHV1688 .

This is a higly effective filter, and even holds up for light rinsing.

This is advertised as fitting "ALL" CHV cordless cyclonic hand vacs, and it even says so on the Black & Decker box. I bought this along with a CHV 1688 dust buster cordless. THIS FILTER DOES NOT FIT - it's too big. The proper hepa filter for a CHV 1688 is a VF08H, which Amazon does not carry.

I needed a replacement filter for my handheld black and decker vaccuum and I don't believe any stores carry it so I purchased the correct filters on amazon. It was the correct one and it works fine and I'm glad i bought 2 in one deal because now I have a backup.

My CHV1400 Dustbuster was losing suction power after 2 years of use and I noticed the filter was clogged, so I replaced it with this version, and power is back to normal. The filter is easy to install and works as advertised.

I received the items as ordered well within the promised delivery date. They fit and do the filtering job as advertised.

I was so glad to find the Black & Decker Hand Vac VF100H Replacement Filter for HEPA 15.6-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster filter at Amazon. My local Lowes no longer carried it. I actually have a 14.5 Volt Dust Buster but it fits fine and is the same as the original that came with the machine. It has been improved from the original in the hand vac and is just what I needed. It is easy to brush clean after use and easy to install.
