Paper too thin, get a HEPA - standard quality filter, it can be generic, if it paper quality was included in this filter, not worth a dime. This was my first replacement for my great little dirt devil. My vacuum is new and only 3 small rooms I vacuum regularly, but my dog tracks a lot of hair and mud so I need to replace the filter more often than most. This was the first F2 filter with the cylindrical cone shape I needed, so I ordered it without considering how the quality would differ. The paper is so thin in comparison to the name brand and original filter that instead of lasting through a dozen dirt-packed vacuums it lasted only through 2 dirt-packed vacuums. Barely, at that, since the paper was so thin I could not twist filer from top because it failed to untwist the bottom part, the stiff quality filters can be twisted (unlocked) if you grab it anywhere. The thin paper held less dirt, and I had a very hard time trying to quickly brush open the filter segments to empty dirt to use it a second time. I noticed a difference in my 5 minute vacuum of the dog room that this Generic filter seemed to leave more particulates in the air. This filter held a quality ratio of 1:20 compared to the one I found a few pages further on Amazon. I would have paid much more for correct filter and no wasted time. Now I know filters can fail to function in more ways than I considered. Too much air and particles pass through, not easy to open pores to dump compacted dirt, paper too thin to be worth purchase. The good filters should state HEPA for high efficiency particulate absorbing.

I'd spend the extra money & buy the brand name replacement. This generic version fits but I've found it gets stuck and won't come out, it makes it very hard to clean.

I used the dirt devil about 2/3 time a week and with in three months or so the filter is toast. Its not that cheap to replace a small paper&plastic filter and makes keeping the dirt devil a waste of money. I purchase my dirst devil at xmas for $20 but in less the one year three filter it now cost $41 and the years not done. Bull on them for the cost to replace this small filter. For the you pay it should be more like two or three filters.

Like others, I find that this filter uses thin paper and will not unlock when twisted. The paper just bends and twists but the filter stays put. I have to reach inside the dirty canister and twist the filter off using the base instead of the top. I will be buying a non-generic filter next time around.

This product works just as well as the original with the exception that it does not give off that nice fresh smell.

Great deal on the filter I needed. Very accurate, quick delivery. Thank you

Economic option, does just what it is supposed to, cheaper than those I found in the store.

They're great!

but...I wish they had washable ones cos' I'm a clean freak and I would like to change them every time I use them. :)

I got this, hoping that it need not buy new vaccum cleaner. After I replaced this it made no difference. So I ended up getting a new one.

We bought this filter as replacement. It is working fine so far... its been 6 months now...

I must say that we dnt expect it to last too long... I am happy that it lasted 6 months and still working..

i dnt mind paying $5 to replace filter every 6 months... It recovers its cost..
