Delivered when promised, fit perfectly. It's not the 3m brand sold by Sears, but the price is right!

I was in need of "a" new filter for our Sears/Kenmore vacuum. After some web searching, I found that this filter (Sears 86889) could cost between $4.25-$19.99 per filter. After reading some reviews and looking at the filters, I chose to go with the least expensive ones from Kill Dirt for $4.25 each (I bought 10 filters). When they arrived, the filters looked like the originals that came with the vacuum. The price was right - they fit like thay had eyes - and they came to my door in 4 (four) working days! If these don't work out (I can't see why they won't) I'll write another review. But as of today - save your money and go with these! Amazon.com has always been a good place to buy the right things for the right application.

I'm still using these filters. I change them when they need changed. They're are working out great. They fit and they filter the exhaust air very well. Will buy these again when I run out.

Not really much to say except the filter fits and works just like the one that came with the vacuum cleaners... but costs a lot less.

I have a Kenmore model 116.31912 upright vacuum cleaner and the owner's manual says it uses a part no. 20-86889 hepa filter. I bought this filter and it does not fit. It does not look exactly like the picture. The lines of glue in the picture are closer to the edge on the filter I received, and they line up with plastic tabs on the vacuum cleaner that make it impossible to insert without modifying the filter or the vacuum cleaner. I chose to cut out the glue on the filter, but it is difficult to do that without puncturing the filter media. I don't understand why other revues mention seller Dirt Killer when this listing is for seller Crutial Vacuum. Incedentally, Crutia Vacuum is printed on the filter which gives you an idea of the level of quality control. I have no confidence that it is actually filtering tiny particles.

Product was the one needed for my older model Kenmore canister vacuum. Always a pleasure to find the correct replacement part for older appliances and even more a pleasure to find it from a vendor who will ship to the US Virgin Islands!! Thank you.

I use these up like crazy since I have 2 dogs and keep a tidy home. I love the price since I use them up so quickly. The shipping time was quicker than they said. I am very happy with this product. The fit is perfect!

The filter looks like the Sears unit and fits like the Sears unit. However, the cost is a bit over one third of the Sears filters. Before you scoff at non Kenmore replacement parts, remember that Sears does not make anything. They put their name on products manufactured by other companies. You, the consumer, pays dearly for the Kenmore/Sears name.

A great replacement filter at an ultra low price. Fast shipping and well packed. I will not hesitate to order more in the future.

I liked how inexpensive it was. Definitely buy from here instead of sears. Does the same thing but for much cheaper. My other filter was black :(

Product was great, getting it was horrible. First one I received was the wrong item. Then they sent me out another one, took forever, first they said it was lost in the mail, and then sent out another one. Then I received both of them. I sent back the original wrong item, per their request. They wanted me to send back the extra one I received. I had to say with all the problems I had they could at least let me keep it for free for all the hassle I had to go through. They agreed. Like I said the item was great, but getting it was a pain.

We have the Kenmore Progressive vaccum. This filter fit in perfect and is much cheaper then buying it at Sears.
