I like the quality of these filters. They are almost identical to the original. The difference for me is the mesh used, the mesh looks more like fabric on the original. It's actually not even a bad thing as I feel like the more synthetic feel of these substitutes makes them MUCH easier to clean. The first time I washed the original filter, it took forever to dry and eventually became fuzzy and permanently dirty. I have washed the replacement filter several times so far and it dries quickly and still looks and feels like new. I definitely prefer them to the original, but I'm deducting a star because the fit isn't as snug as it should be. They still work great but note that when you open the canister to empty it the filters will pop out with the top. Not the end of the world, just do it over the trash can and you'll be fine. Otherwise they are perfect!
