Review on πŸ” VF4000 Replacement Filter for Ridgid 72947 Wet Dry Vac 5 to 20-Gallon 6-9 Gal Husky Craftsman 17816 Vacuum - Compatible With WD5500 WD0671 WD1270 RV2400A RV2600B - Washable & Reusable Standard Wet/Dry Vac Filter by Tamara Simms

Does the job but nothing more

Fits in my vacuum but the build quality is pretty poor. There is no vertical support for the filter other than the paper itself, and it is quite limited. As a result, the filter is destroyed when the vacuum cleaner is switched on, after some time the filter deforms and permanently takes the shape of an hourglass. Also the suction power of the vacuum cleaner is limited and there is a very clear difference between this filter and the original filter. I guess that's preferable to a filter that lets too much through and damages the engine. The filter also clogged very, very quickly and I had to remove it and tap the dust and dirt out of it after about the first 15 minutes of use. That didn't help since (as I mentioned) there is no structural support and all I could do was tap it hard before the paper collapses, curls and bends permanently. This will work in a pinch if your goal is to get the cheapest filter that works, but I wouldn't buy this one again.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • No insurance
