Nispira 200 & 400 Series HEPA Filter Replacement

This filter is designed as a direct replacement for part number 86880. It is compatible with a wide range of Kenmore 200 and 400 series upright and canister models, including the 81214, 81414, BC2005, and many others listed in the full compatibility guide. We recommend checking your vacuum's manual or the existing filter's part number to confirm a match.

This HEPA filter is engineered to capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This high level of filtration helps trap common household allergens like dust and pet dander, ensuring cleaner air exhaust during operation.

No, this filter is designed to maintain your vacuum's suction power and airflow efficiency. Because it is built to the exact dimensions of 2 7/8 inches x 4 1/4 inches x 3/4 inches, it ensures a precise fit that prevents air leaks and maintains optimal cleaning performance.

While replacement frequency depends on your usage and the environment of your home, it is generally recommended to replace your HEPA filter every 6 to 12 months. If you notice a decrease in suction or if the filter appears visibly clogged or discolored, it is time for a fresh replacement.

This filter is designed as a disposable HEPA replacement. Washing it can damage the specialized filtration media and compromise its ability to capture fine particles, so it should be replaced rather than cleaned.
