I'm using this filter in my wall hung shop vac.Because this vac is used to collect sawdust from my small band saw and belt sander, it clogs fairly quickly, but the system works well and is very compact. Over the past eight years or so that the vac has been used this way, I found that by using a piece of 1/4-20 allthread, a few nuts and washers I could fit two filters together into my shop vacuum. This provided a 100% increase in filtering and lets me extend the time between service cleaning the vacuum tank and filters. I order the filter four at a time which gets me free shipping from Amazon, so this works out to be a pretty good deal. Four filters will last me three years or more depending on use.

As the title says, filter only.. don't throw away that base piece quite yet. Little disappointed that the picture is not honest. Sears routinely runs a by one, get one 50% off and the price is the same.. 8 bucks and they include the base.

I still buy it from Amazon for the convience.

I use this filter with all my dry vacuuming. I use it with a filter bag for drywall and orbital sander dust. Otherwise, it would clog more easily than I have patience for. If it gets clogged when vacuuming coarser material, you can just take it out and knock/scrape the debris off. When I use only the foam sleeve, fine dust gets blown into the air and settles on the stuff in my garage.

Product descriptions on amazon.com can be a bit sparse sometimes, but it was fairly easy to find the filter I wanted because the product number matches the one on the ShopVac website. It would have given me some peace of mind if either amazon.com or ShopVac identified this filter as "Type AA", which one would assume was the model number based on its prominence on the packaging.

I have used shop-vacs for years and the company's filters have always performed accordingly. I sometimes think that the other "sweeper companies" could learn a lot from shop-vac and their customer oriented approach to business.

I recommend this vacuum for more than a shop vac. It works great inside the house for cleaning up dirt and dust. The cord reaches approximately 5 feet. The hose reaches a long way and does not tangle. It holds alot of dirt and dust.

I bought a $69 vacuum for my pellet stove to remove ash and needed a replacement filter but this proved to be too big by about a half inch in diameter - bummer. I finally tracked down the "hard to find" filter and the company that makes it wants $18 for it plus $20 for shipping! $20 for shipping!?!? I decided to patch the little holes in the original filter that had formed from some red-hot embers with some caulk to hold for the season. The replacement filter would be more than half the price of the whole vacuum.

Been using this filter for several months and it will not stop smelling up the room when vacuum is in use. They used some nasty chemical in the manufacture of the black end rings and it stinks to high heaven. It simply will not stop outgassing .... and i bought two of them. Yea. Would not buy this product again.

I noticed that my Shop Vac Hang-Up Pro had stopped sucking very effectively. After cleaning out the hose that my teenage son used to suck up paper towels, I also noticed that the filter was FILTHY! I don't think I had changed it since I've owned this Shop Vac, so I came to Amazon and found this filter on the cheap. With Prime shipping, it was here in 2 days.

Lowe's used to carry this cartridge filter, but recently discontinued it so we were pleased to find it on Amazon; it's exactly what we've been looking for!

This is a great product for the price. Can't find it in our local Wal-Mart store. This is a good deal so will purchase again.
