Paxanpax PFC540 V-006/VS-18/VS-19 Non-Original Vax-Compatible Big Bubble/ Turboforce Series Hepa Filter Kit, White

Bought for a Vax Centrix 2 upright vacuum which is at least 6 years old which we are re-using as our Dyson handheld has packed up. It seemed really powerful compared to the handheld at first but thought we should change the filter as it had been used to clear a fireplace and had never been changed! Wow what a difference! The filter fits nice and tightly and the bottom filter is a simple swap. It now tries to rip the carpet from its fixings and has removed a huge (worringly so) amount of fine dust and dirt. For £4.50 its a simple way to rejuvenate an old hoover and save the expense of a new one. Bargain, much recommended.

Unlike a couple of other aftermarket filters I've tried, this one is a good fit, per the original, in my VAX bagless upright. The price is very welcome compared with the exorbitant originals, because the design of the cleaner overall is frankly poor, and recovering the filter when emptying is by no means guaranteed unless you enjoy getting covered in dust.The cleaner's shortcomings are not the fault of this filter, though. The additional filters in the pack don't seem particularly applicable to my cleaner, but it's a discontinued model (U90-P4-0) and not explicitly listed as compatible, so no surprise there.Updated this review to mention that I've bought a lot of these now, and will continue to do so, although they've gone up in price a bit. Later batches have been an even tighter fit, but not impossibly so. The product image shows one of the extra filters in the pack with a circular cut-out marking on it, which might suggest it can be used as the circular bottom filter on U90 type cleaners but as you can see from the photo, it's too small (and doesn't have the circular cutting guide, either, not that that's exactly a hardship.) Since the main filter seems to work well, the circular filter at the bottom doesn't really get dirty, and if it does, you can just wash it.Considering that the "cyclonic" action of my (discontinued) cleaner is less than inspiring, so this filter basically has to do all the work, it seems to keep the exhaust pretty dust-free, at least as effectively as the originals as far as I can tell, certainly much better than non-HEPA filters.

Bought for a Vax centrix 2 pet hoover, had the hoover a few years now and I had always just brushed the filter into a bin and reused it, I decided to actually buy a new one after even brushing it it wasn't getting any better but the suction worse ie sock fluff. Anyway saw the horrendous prices from vax and thought no way then found this compatible set on amazon. For the money it's excellent, the main cone filter fitted fine and the small motor filter a straight fit!, the other two filters it doesn't use!. I wasn't expecting a lot of difference but wow!, it feels like it's brand new again and sucks the carpet up!, the amount of dust/dirt it picked up even in a clean room is amazing!.Well worth the purchase and I will now replace every few months or so!.

I wasn't sure about buying or using a cone filter other than vax, but the write ups were good I took a chance it fits my model perfectly, I can only use one of the other filters in the pack, but no worries it was such good value that I wouldnt hesitate to purchase another pack,It was delivered within a day , good quality and it does the job.

I am delighted with my purchase. Having used this filter set for several weeks now I am pleased with how well it works. On ordering the product I did wonder whether I would be throwing away good money, but having read good review after good review I kept an open mind. The product arrived within the same week of ordering, It fitted my vacuum cleaner perfectly, and works just as good as the vax filter that I have purchased previously at triple the price of this compatible one. I would recommend, and am going to order another filter set to have spare.

Packaging was a little rubbish, but the product arrived undamaged!Very cheap but easy to fit, it could have done some instructions where the filters go as I really only needed the cyclone and motor filter but it came with 2 other filters which took a while to find!Great alternative for the expensive original!

Unfortunately this is too small for my Vax 19. I can't return it as I tried to install before knowing it was too small and now it's stuck on my hoover. Does the job but would be better if it was the right size

Purchased for a Vax Swift 1700 (VS-190), I received the HEPA filter plus 3 pre-motor filters (each suitable for a different vacuum so only one should prove useful, as was my case).Both the HEPA filter and the larger white filter slotted in perfectly well. Vacuum now works noticeably better (you can tell by the suction force applied to the carpet).This is not a genuine Vax filter (and doesn't claim to be) but at £4.15 (vs £12.99 via Vax), this is proving just as effective and has rejuvenated my vacuum. Delivery was excellent too.Job well done and very satisfied.
