Universal Standard Dust Cartridge Filter with Cap, Fits most 5-18 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuums

This was bought for 14.99 in the local store after we figured out how Walmart kept the price down on their Hyper Tough 5 gallon 4 hp wet dry vac. Without this filter, which is not included with vacuum purchase, the vacuum is essentially a dry vacuum . The need for this filter is only made clear once you open the box and read the parts list. Not good Walmart. Anyway, this filter works. We decided to try it as we could return both filter and wet dry vac together if filter didn't fit and vac was useless to us. Fortunately all good, but out an additional $15. If you buy the Hyper Tough 5 gallon wet dry vac and want to use it for water or damp cleaning, be sure to factor in the additional cost.

Wow, what a difference this makes. I was using the old bags or foam cover. This does what both of those did and is much easier to clean. At first I could not get it to stay on my old shop vac but I just tried, tried again and succeeded!

Same quality better price then name brand shop vac accessories.

Worked great for my old SHOP VAC QSP model 8676847 at the best price, too.

works like a factory one would. exactly what j needed!

Fit correctly and works like a charm.

Make sure to check how your filter snaps in place. This didn't fit our 8 gallon Shopvac so we're returning.

It said universal fit for my size and it is way too big and not even the right type and I read it carefully. It said it would fit my wet dry back it said universal fit for my size and it is way too big and not even the right type and I read it carefully. It said it would fit my wet dry vac i even checked the numbers of my filter against theirs, and it said it would fit in. It completely didn't in every way.

The “cap” is non-functional; it doesn't fit into either end of the filter. The cap has a screw thread, but the ends of the filter have no matching threads and the rubber trim is too shallow in depth to support threads anyway. Look carefully at the seller's image and you can see the issue. The filters do NOT fit my Genie 2.0 HP shop vac, despite information stating that these filters will fit. The parts I received are wider in diameter by over an inch and too short in length by about an inch and a half. I cannot finesse these parts to “make do.” I also cannot return them due to my work schedule, but at least they weren't expensive. They will be donated.

locking cap was defective. Would not lock on to the filter.
