00:00Okay, so if your cordless vacuum has started sounding like a jet engine and losing suction
00:04halfway through the living room, don't go buying a whole new machine just yet.
00:08Nine times out of ten, it's just a clogged, worn-out filter.
00:12I went digging around and found five washable HEPA replacement filters that cost less than
00:17lunch, and honestly, they bring these vacuums right back to life.
00:21Let's get into it.
00:23First up is the washable post-motor HEPA filter made for the Dyson V10 and SV12.
00:29This is the one that sits at the back of the machine and catches all the ultra-fine dust
00:33before it blows back into your room.
00:35What I like is that it's genuinely washable, so you rinse it under cold water, let it dry
00:40for a full 24 hours, and pop it back in.
00:43At $7.83, with almost 5,000 sold and a 4.8 rating, this is about as safe a bet
00:49as you'll
00:50find.
00:51Compare that to what the branded filter costs and it's not even close.
00:55Number 2 is basically the same idea but built as a complete filter unit for the V10 Cyclone,
01:01Animal, Absolute, and Total Clean models.
01:04The fit on this one is what people rave about, it clicks in with that satisfying twist and
01:08seals properly, so you don't get that annoying air leak that kills suction.
01:12It's got a perfect 5-star rating from over 4,000 buyers, which is pretty rare.
01:18Same price, $7.83.
01:21If you've got one of the fancier V10 trims, this is the one I'd grab.
01:25Third on the list, and my personal favorite for value, is the rear motor cover HEPA filter
01:30for the Dyson V7 and V8.
01:33These older models are still everywhere, and the filters absolutely get destroyed by pet
01:38hair and fine dust over time.
01:40This one's just $5.21.
01:45It's rated 4.9 with over 4,000 sold, and honestly, at that price I'd buy two and just
01:50rotate them, wash one while the other's in the vacuum so you're never waiting for it to dry.
01:55Number 4 is for the Shark crowd.
01:58This is a HEPA filter for the Shark WV200, WV200 UK, and WV251 handheld vacuums, and it's
02:06one of the few decent third-party options I could actually find for those models.
02:10It runs $8.01, has a 4.7 rating, and over 4,000 people have picked it up.
02:16If you use one of those little Shark handhelds for the car or crumbs on the couch, you know
02:21how quickly the filter turns gray.
02:23Rinse, dry, reuse, simple as that.
02:27And rounding out the list at number 5, another Dyson V10 and SV12 washable filter, but this
02:32one comes in at $6.55, which is the cheapest V10 option here.
02:37It's got a perfect 5-star rating with nearly 4,000 sold, so the quality's clearly holding
02:43up.
02:44If you're just looking for a straightforward replacement without overthinking it, and you
02:48want to save a couple of dollars, this is the one to click on.
02:52Honestly, any of these will pay for themselves the first time your vacuum stops choking.
02:57All five links are down in the description, so go grab whichever one matches your machine.
