Shark Hepa Filter

This filter is designed specifically for Shark upright models NV500, NV500CO, and NV501. You can verify compatibility by checking the model number printed on your vacuum's base or rating label.

This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement designed to match the specifications of the original manufacturer part XHF500. It is engineered to provide the same fit and filtration performance as the factory-supplied filter.

Yes, this is a HEPA-grade filter, which means it is designed to capture fine dust particles and common allergens. Using this filter will help ensure that the air exhausted by your vacuum is cleaner than the air it intakes.

For optimal performance, we recommend replacing your HEPA filter every 6 to 12 months, depending on your usage frequency and the amount of debris in your home. If you notice a drop in suction or a musty odor while vacuuming, it is likely time for a fresh filter.

While some vacuum filters are washable, HEPA filters of this type are generally designed to be replaced rather than cleaned. Washing them can often degrade the filtration material and reduce their effectiveness over time.
