Kenmore HEPA Exhaust Filter

This filter is designed specifically for Kenmore canister models 24194, 24200, and 10701. Before purchasing, verify your vacuum's model number, which is typically located on a sticker on the underside or back of the canister unit.

HEPA, or High-Efficiency Particulate Air, filters are engineered to trap microscopic particles like pollen, pet dander, and fine dust that standard filters often miss. This prevents these allergens from being recirculated into your home's air while you vacuum.

For optimal suction performance and air quality, it is generally recommended to replace your exhaust filter every 6 to 12 months, depending on your usage frequency and the amount of dust in your home. If you notice a decrease in airflow or a musty odor while vacuuming, it is likely time for a replacement.

No, this is a disposable HEPA filter. Attempting to wash or rinse the filter media can damage the delicate fibers and compromise its ability to capture fine particles, so it should be replaced rather than cleaned.

The two-tab design allows the filter to snap securely into the exhaust port of your compatible Kenmore canister vacuum. This ensures an airtight seal, which is critical for maintaining proper suction and preventing unfiltered air from leaking out.
