This filter is just thing when your old one gets dirty!

OK - but perhaps they could sell just the filter (the part that gets dirty) without making us buy the plastic cover too. The plastic cover can easily be rinsed with water and does not need to be replaced with the filter.

Changing dustbuster filters should be cheap and easy. So, please, a multipack of just the filters and no plastic covers would be awesome.

I couldn't help notice a wide price disparity on this item. Amazon wanted $8 whereas other sellers were <$2! Since this is a consume-and-dispose type item, I decided to pay Buy-It-Now's exorbitant $6.95 shipping fee and buy 3 at $1.25 each - netting me 3 for $10.70 instead of $24 at the Amazon price.

Here's what happened: I received the filters promptly but with NO packaging and NO plastic cover, JUST THE FILTERS. That's fine with me since as another review pointed out, the plastic cover is quite reusable with a quick rinse and it seems pointless to replace it every time ... and the packaging just goes to the landfill after all.

BOTTOM LINE is I'm happy with my purchase but this should be cataloged as two different items - the "Filter Set" at a higher price for those who want the whole package, and the Filter ONLY for people who just want the filter a-la-carte. (I'll rate it 5 stars if they fix this... the filters are just fine.)

I've had Dustbusters in my life for 15 years - but have only had to buy two of them. Like a car, so long as you take care of it (keep it charged, use periodicially, change the filter) this handy little device will last a long, long time. Obviously it's perfect for quick touch-ups when you don't want to break out the vacuum. But this review isn't merely for the B&D Dustbuster - this filter deal (4 for 3) is SUPER because they're hard to find in stores, and with Amazon, you just can't beat Super-Saver shipping!! TIP: Make your filters last. You don't have to change them out everytime. In between changes I place my filter in a plastic shopping bag and clean out the ridges with a cotton swab.

I received only the filter portion of this item. This is not at all like the original black and decker part shown in the picture.

This is not a complete set. We only received the inner part of the filter. Will not buy from them again.

I expected the 2-piece filter set shown in the picture. Instead I received 1 paper filter which has a much smaller surface area on it, and no cover. It would fit my DustBuster but would clog up that much sooner. I returned it and will keep looking.

The description for this item said it was the set, but the actual item received was only filters - not the set.

This is the exact replacement air filter (and bracket) for the older Dust Buster models (check listing to make sure your model is listed). If your Dust Buster is slow, loses it's charge quickly and doesn't seem to work right, it might be that the filter is clogged, like mine was. This seems to have fixed the problem.

Filters were sold as a Filter Set. Item received was replacement paper filter--only. (Filter Set from Black and Decker VF20 is two parts: a plastic filter and a paper filter.) Photo shown in product listing isn't what you receive. You receive after market product produced by Honeywell. Honeywell's paper filter will fit the the DustBuster, but it has less paper surface area. (It's not going to allow as much air to flow through it, when using the DustBuster.) I'm very disappointed. If I wanted the Honeywell filter product for my DustBuster, I could've bought it for less from a different vendor.

The picture is wrong. You only get the filter - not the holder.

The prices was really good and the filter is the exact replacement. I did think the prices was awful low for both pieces.
