Dirt DevilF13 HEPA Filter 3-LK0540-001 - Genuine

What can I say? It looks just like the original filter. It does have a different color sponge in it, but I got another (same) vacuum cleaner, and the filter has yet another color sponge in it. I guess that makes no difference.I didn't like the way it was shipped to me. It was shipped in a plain manila envelope. By the time I got it, it was nearly ripped out of the package. The post office actually had to tape the hole. That may not be relevant anymore. They may use a different shipper, or they may do a better job, because I did complain.Bottom line, it's a filter. It is same as original.

False advertising. Buyers beware!Ordered through "Go Vacuum" (fulfillment by Amazon), and the Foam 1LK0545000 is *NOT* included. Just as another user pointed out earlier. When I placed the order, I was hoping it was an isolated incident that the foam is missing. Apparently it wasn't.The Amazon rep did not offer any explanation, but it wasn't his fault that the seller failed to include the foam as stated in product description.Item returned. I will try to order via another seller to see if that makes a difference.A rather disappointing incident. Emailed Go Vacuum, no response.Update 8/14/10: Ordered the same item from another seller, "The Vacuum Center". Guess what, still NO foam.Why on earth can't they just state that the foam is not included (or better yet, have to be purchased separately at $xx) is beyond me, seeing how the vacuum needed both the foam and filter together to function properly. *sigh*Initially I rate the item 1 star, but I edited and gave it a 3. The product itself is not to be blame for the missing parts.The filters themselves looked new and clean. Will have to try it at a later time.

After extended use the vacuum cleaner suction no longer could be improved by cleaning the HEPA filter. The Dirt Devil F13 HEPA was purchased with the expectation that this replacement would improve vacuum performance. The shipment was promptly delivered. As expected, the vacuum suction was much stronger again.

great experience as always when dealing amazon.very fast delivery.highly recommend to others.ordered when I realized my wife's trouble with her vacuum wasn't really a mechanical problem,but a maintenance one.after a thorough cleaning I put in this new filter and the cleaner worked like it did when it was new.

just what i needed as my old one was just that...old...and I had trouble finding a replacement at my local stores...ordered it online and although it took a couple of weeks before i got it, I am so glad I have it...my vacuumm is much happier now...packaging was appropriate, pricing was fair

Excellent purchase - excellent source. I have been unable to find these filters at the local stores. How nice it is to order them through Amazon.com and have them delivered to the door.These are the exact filters for my vacuum and I am very pleased.

So simple to remove/replace this filter, gosh my last one was just so nasty. Apparently these can be washed regularly, knowing that now, I will keep up the maintenance on these on a regular basis to avoid what happened to the last one.
