Black & Decker VF100H Hepa Replacement Filter



Tip for buying these filters
Thought I'd pass this tip on to other users of the Dustbuster cyclonic models ...

I have the 15.6 volt Hepa model, CHV1500. Needed to get a filter so I called Black and Decker to see if the VF100 (instead of the VF100H) would fit my model. They said yes, but told me I could also buy part 244631-00 instead. (BTW, this is the pleated paper filter.) I asked what the difference was, and they said the only difference was that VF100/VF100H comes in a fancy retail box. But part #244631-00 just comes in a plastic bag. Another difference ... and this is the best part ... the 244631-00 costs about $3 each versus more than 3 times as much for the retail boxed version. So I ordered two of the 244631-00 secondary filters, plus a plastic washable pre-filter as I wanted an extra one of those too. The part number for the pre-filter is 598083-00 and costs about $1.25 or so. With shipping, the entire order came to just $11.41! Shipping was only about $3 or so. If you order the more...

Good filter at a good price
My CHV1400 Dustbuster was losing suction power after 2 years of use and I noticed the filter was clogged, so I replaced it with this version, and power is back to normal. The filter is easy to install and works as advertised.

good product
It did take a long time to get the item.It seems manufacturers are quick to promote and sell a product but always make replacement "filters" a challenge to find and receive.
