Eureka Sanitaire DCF-3 Dust Cup Filter

This filter is designed for specific Eureka and Sanitaire upright models. Check your vacuum's manual or the model number sticker on the back of the unit to see if it lists part number 71738A4 as the required replacement.

This is a disposable dust cup filter. While you can gently tap out loose debris to extend its life slightly, it should be replaced entirely once it becomes discolored or when you notice a significant drop in suction power.

No tools are required. You can simply open the dust cup assembly, remove the old filter, and snap this replacement into place by hand.

For optimal suction and to protect your vacuum's motor, we recommend replacing the filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently you vacuum and the amount of debris in your home.

Yes, this filter is designed to capture fine dust and debris before it reaches the motor, which helps improve overall air quality and keeps your vacuum running efficiently.
