The original filter is on the left, new Crucial brand on the right. I debated buying these because it is very unclear if these filters fit my Shark vacuum, but I took a chance and they work. The fabric material is quite a bit different than the original, so we'll se how long it lasts. It feels thinner than Shark brand.

This product was a perfect fit for Shark hand vacuum and a great price at approximately $ 5.67 per filter. Filters are, to some extent, washable for a minimum of two continued uses, making the cost per filter approximately $1.89 each. Highly recommend this product for all owners of the 18V Shark Cordless Hand-Held Vacuum.

Although the Shark Hand Vac model I bought (from another place, not Amazon) came with a washable plastic filter, I felt that after awhile, the washable plastic filter would get kind of icky. I looked and looked and could not find replacements at any major stores. So, I ordered off Amazon. Although the filters look different than the filter that came with my model, the filters do fit my model. However, these filters seem to be made of soft cloth, not plastic. I find it hard to believe these filters are "washable" without tearing. I haven't tried one yet, still using the original that came with my model. But I ordered two packages of 3 just in case.... They fit, they will work, that's all I care about right now.....UPDATE: I have been using these for awhile. I find that instead of washing them, just take a small hand broom and brush the caught dirt off into a waste basket. The filters will last longer this way than if you try to wash them. The dirt comes off easily with a small hand broom. You can still wash them, but I think the fibers in the cloth break down eventually. Regardless, you will need to replace one after about 3 months (2 months if you wash them).

Keeping the filters clean on this machine is VITAL. I alternate the new filters with the original filter that came with it, washing each filter when I trade it out with a clean filter and letting the old filter dry for use later. I expect these three filters to last me the life of my Shark Cordless. The Shark Cordless is the best buy I have made in a very long time.

These are better and longer lasting than the filters that came with my little Shark handheld. At first I thought they didn't fit, but it's a pressure fit; just shove the filter in there harder. The edges of the filter are a flexible rubber (or silicone? or some kind of plastic?), so the pressure fit makes a good seal. Happy customer.:-)

Fits my Shark SV70 fine. The filters work well. Unlike previous filters ordered, these have some kind of coating on them which makes it harder to tap off dust, cat fur, litter beads, etc., after vacuuming, hence my rating of 3 stars. I have to clean the filter by hand after each use. I have been using the vacuum for several years, and have not tried washing filters. I just buy replacements, clean after each use, and change regularly. Next time I will order filters without the coating. In looking at my order history, I found the ones I had previously purchased--will order them next time if still being sold: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V802QS/. PS: The first time I ordered replacements, I ordered directly from Shark. Mistake. Barely spoke English, took over 3 weeks to receive the filters--they were being sent from a city less than 30 miles away..

Originally my order was sent to the incorrect address. Then when I contacted the vendor they sent it out again, but (not due to their error) again to the incorrect address. I contacted them and inquired about the address and it was discovered that it was being sent to the wrong place. They sent out two packages to cover our inconvenience. I am very, very pleased with the product and the customer service.

These are the best... Bought some pleated ones that don't let much air through.
