The filter supplied with the vacuum cleaner can be cleaned and reused. The original filter was not as dirty after a year of use as this one was after a month. I didn't know that the original can be deleted. They came in an official looking Eureka bag that said 1 bag and had 3 bags inside. Pockets work but not well. They get very dirty and don't wash well. You also need to attach them to the black cage that contains the original filter. I don't think these are real Eureka bags.
