For optimal suction and air quality, it is generally recommended to replace your filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently you use your vacuum and the amount of debris you typically clean.

This is a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter designed for replacement rather than washing. While some filters can be rinsed, washing a HEPA filter can degrade the material and compromise its ability to capture fine dust and allergens effectively.

Yes. Genuine parts are engineered for a precise fit, which ensures a proper seal within the vacuum housing. This prevents air leaks and ensures that all intake air passes through the filter, maintaining the suction power and filtration efficiency your device was designed to deliver.

You should consider a replacement if you notice a persistent decrease in suction power, if the vacuum exhaust smells musty, or if the filter appears visibly clogged or discolored even after tapping out loose dust.
