Review on 💨 EnviroCare Replacement Vacuum Cleaner Filter Cones | Compatible with Filter Queen Vacuums | 12 Cones and 2 Filters Included by Missy Carter

Sold FQ for a year in 1973 between jobs. We have been repeatedly told never to use anything other than real filter cones. Like everyone else, $2.50 for a cone is a bit steep, so I gave it a try. Used them to sweep the concrete floor in my new barn. After about 10 minutes I noticed that the engine lost speed. The engine also overheated. It's time to replace the filter cone. The fine powder I swept was blown right through the cone and clogged the secondary (disc) filter. These engines need a lot of moving air to cool them. A clogged filter means no air means a burned out engine. What a mess, because the powder was now covering the underside of the engine case as well. This never happens with real cones. I had to get another filter queen with a REAL CELLULOSE FILTER to clean up the mess caused by these so called filters. By the way, I have 5 FQs that are used in my company for different purposes. In 45 years I've only had one engine failure and that was my sandblaster, which ran non-stop for hours. And it was a 40 year old device and the cone needed to be replaced. My mistake. Believe me. I would buy cheap secondary cones if they worked properly. I don't know why they can't make a cellulose cone to duplicate the original. Protect your investment. Use real cones. Check the secondary filter regularly. A 50 year old Filter Queen will perform just as well as a NEW one with proper care. This is not an advertisement, but a review.
