Review on ๐ŸŒ€ Filtrete Dirt Devil F1 HEPA Vacuum Filter by 3M by Autumn Harris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Make sure it comes in retail packaging.

I've been looking through an incredible amount of similar products on Revain looking for a silly filter to find one that fits and isn't an inferior fake. I was mostly disappointed because 1) it fits my Featherlite loosely, 2) the filter didn't filter, and 3) the packaging was poor. This filter was poorly packaged in a clear plastic bag inside a USPS bag and nothing prevented it from being crushed. It's a loose fit compared to my original one year old filter, which I try to hold in place with a large rubber band. The filter design seems relatively acceptable, however, with a rubber base (albeit about twice as thick as the original) rather than the hard plastic of some other universal filters. The filter that comes with deepdiscounts is not a Filtrete filter. Keep in mind. The shape isn't even like the Filtrete image for this ad (i.e. it's conical, not cylindrical). Shame on the seller for such a misrepresentation of facts. Whatever, call it what it is. A bag of lies. UPDATE 1: The seller (deepdiscounts) is sending out a new filter and seems concerned by these issues. I'll come back to the review when a new (correct?) item becomes available. Maybe a mistake in the shipping department? UPDATE 2: Correct item arrived as described. Totally different from the generic filter I received previously so I'm not sure how the error happened, although it seems the seller (deepdiscounts) fixed it. The filter fits my Dirt Devil Featherlite exactly as it should and I'm sure it will work fine.
