I mounted this on my Dirt Devil Featherlite filter which lists replacement filter OEM #2-JC0280-000. Compared to the original filter, this one didn't have a secure fit on the vacuum cleaner - it literally dangled. Without an airtight seal, some of the air will flow under the filter instead of through it. I taped the bottom of the filter and I was able to get a tighter fit. With the replaced filter, the cleaner now works well, or at least slightly better than the original OEM filter that was 11 months old. I haven't tried washing this filter so I can't comment on that. how it holds up in the wash.
