Crucial Vacuum 3-Piece Dust Cup Filters for Shark Hand Vac Models

My husband is a little obsessed with using our DustBuster at least 3 times a day because we have cats. I am NOT complaining but we do go through filters a little quicker. He asked me to look for refills and it was harder than expected. Found these and they work great, fit perfect. No complaints!

Although the Shark Hand Vac model I bought (from another place, not Amazon) came with a washable plastic filter, I felt that after awhile, the washable plastic filter would get kind of icky. I looked and looked and could not find replacements at any major stores. So, I ordered off Amazon. Although the filters look different than the filter that came with my model, the filters do fit my model. However, these filters seem to be made of soft cloth, not plastic. I find it hard to believe these filters are "washable" without tearing. I haven't tried one yet, still using the original that came with my model. But I ordered two packages of 3 just in case.... They fit, they will work, that's all I care about right now.....UPDATE: I have been using these for awhile. I find that instead of washing them, just take a small hand broom and brush the caught dirt off into a waste basket. The filters will last longer this way than if you try to wash them. The dirt comes off easily with a small hand broom. You can still wash them, but I think the fibers in the cloth break down eventually. Regardless, you will need to replace one after about 3 months (2 months if you wash them).

Good quality, fair price, perfect fit.

I'm not sure what the quality of vacuum filters is supposed to be, but these work great for my Shark Hand Vac. Cheap enough that when shaking out the filter no longer works, I just replace.

Fits my Shark SV70 fine. The filters work well. Unlike previous filters ordered, these have some kind of coating on them which makes it harder to tap off dust, cat fur, litter beads, etc., after vacuuming, hence my rating of 3 stars. I have to clean the filter by hand after each use. I have been using the vacuum for several years, and have not tried washing filters. I just buy replacements, clean after each use, and change regularly. Next time I will order filters without the coating. In looking at my order history, I found the ones I had previously purchased--will order them next time if still being sold: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V802QS/. PS: The first time I ordered replacements, I ordered directly from Shark. Mistake. Barely spoke English, took over 3 weeks to receive the filters--they were being sent from a city less than 30 miles away..
