honest review: good value

Mario: I recently purchased the Wet/Dry Cartridge Filter Cartridge for my shop vacuum, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This filter cartridge is incredibly easy to install, and it has proven to be a true lifesaver when it comes to cleaning accidental spills, especially in my car.

Installation was a breeze; it took me only a few seconds to pop the cartridge into my shop vacuum, and it fit perfectly without any issues. The build quality is excellent, and it feels durable enough to handle the rugged demands of a workshop environment.

What impressed me the most about this filter cartridge is its performance when dealing with wet messes. I accidentally spilled a large amount of liquid in my car, and I was worried about the mess it would leave behind. However, with this filter cartridge in place, the shop vacuum sucked up the liquid effortlessly, leaving my car spotless in no time. It was like magic!

The filter does an outstanding job of separating liquids from solids, and it doesn't clog or lose suction power, even when dealing with wet debris. This feature alone makes it a must-have for anyone dealing with spills, whether in...

JRVill: Like a previous filter purchased for this shop vac, this one fits pretty tight. Needed to use some silicon like lube on rubber seal to make it easier to install. Otherwise, forcing the fit can damage the filter. Works fine once in place.

Andrew K Lum: This filter fits my older vacs. It was a snug fit and I had to add a little vaseline to the inside of the collar, but it went in fine after that. I am happy about that and a little relieved.

I had ordered filters from another seller (same product code) but the collar diameter wasn't big enough. You need a collar opening of about 4 3/8 inches.

Stuart: This filter cartridge fits - almost. The model number on the shop vac was obscured so I ordered this filter based on its dimensions. Everything fit except the threaded rod cast into the frame of the vac was too short to secure the new cartridge. A threaded extension coupling and bolt was purchased. Cutting a larger opening in the cartridge allowed everything to fit securely. I did not consider returning the cartridge because finding a better fit would be most likely impossible without a proper model number on the vac. I'm happy with the filter cartridge, how it now fits and would order it again if needed!
