1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE - NOT equivalent to the orginal Miele SF-AH 50, August 9, 2011

This review is from: Filtrete Miele SF AH 50 HEPA Filter, 1 Filter Per Pack (Kitchen)

The Filtrete SF AH 50 HEPA filter is too good a deal to be true. Put simply, it's too small - 1/8" all around.
We bought both the original Miele SA AH50 and this Filtrete Filter to compare them. Returning the Filtrete now. If you are interested in having a working HEPA filter, you don't want a gap all around the filter when it sits in the vacuum - such gap renders the whole HEPA filtration idea useless. Hence, at $20 the Filtrete is not $30 saved vs. the $50 Miele original, but it's $20 wasted on the useless Filtrete version.

This was a no-brainer. Either $50 for the Miele version or this totally suitable replacement.
Fits perfectly and the air is happy and fresh!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment!, October 22, 2011

I bought this Hepa filter from an Amazon referral site thinking that I could save about $30.00 over the high cost of a Miele Hepa filter. The manufacturer is 3M, so I thought the quality would be good. I was sadly mistaken!

My filter arrived and I proceeded to install it in my Miele vacuum but noticed that it fit much looser than the authentic Miele filter I had just removed. I looked at the 3M filter to find out why it was so much looser and immediately saw that both of the long sides of the filter were substantially warped at the area of the integrated gasket. In addition, I measured the width of the filter and it is approximately 1/16 inch smaller than the Miele filter. The filter is supposed to seal all the way around the perimeter to ensure that all of the vacuum discharge air has to go through the Hepa filter. This was not the case at all as my filter had gaps at both long sides.

The discharge air would of course take the path of least resistance and a good deal of it would blow by the Hepa filter straight into the home environment. Not good if you suffer from allergies like so many of us... Guess I have to pay the over inflated price for the real deal... ;(
