Review on Neutop Performance Filters Replacement Connected by Derek Bates

Tried this filter on Neato D5. Branded filters are very expensive, so I wanted to at least try them. Unfortunately I'm very disappointed in them, so much so that I think next time I'll just pay more for branded filters. Here are my issues with the filters: 1. They snap into the bin perfectly, but the tab never works to pull them out to empty the bin. I end up pulling hard and getting dust/dirt everywhere because it's so difficult to get out. 2. The screen covering the filter has a slightly larger mesh size. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but our dogs' hair gets caught in the web much worse. With the factory filter, I was able to just wipe it off and tap it lightly to get rid of the hair. But with these it's a lot harder, and it's never going to work that cleanly. We have a medium haired dog and I end up throwing these filters away much quicker than brand name filters because I can't get all the dog hair off the web. Overall, the quality just doesn't feel that solid. The mesh is loose and often has large drops of glue around the edges. I look forward to going through all of this to order branded filters even though they are more expensive.
