Bissell Style 12 Filter

This filter is designed for specific Bissell upright models, including the PowerForce, PowerForce Helix Turbo, PowerForce Turbo, and PowerGroom Helix Rewind series. To be certain, check your vacuum's manual or the existing filter for part numbers 3205, 2031402, 203-1402, 203-8037, or 2038037.

The curved, pleated shape is intentional; it maximizes the surface area of the filter material. This allows for better airflow while still effectively trapping fine dust and allergens, ensuring your vacuum maintains strong suction.

For optimal performance and to protect your vacuum's motor, we recommend replacing the filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on your household's usage and the amount of dust or pet dander in your home.

This specific Style 12 filter is designed as a disposable replacement part. Washing it can degrade the HEPA filtration material and compromise its ability to trap fine particles, so it is best to replace it with a fresh one once it becomes visibly dirty.

Yes, as a HEPA-rated filter, it is engineered to capture fine dust and allergens that standard filters might miss. Installing a fresh filter helps ensure that the air exhausted by your vacuum is cleaner than the air it pulls in.
