Black and Decker VF100H Replacement Filter for HEPA 15.6-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster 2-PACK



Totally WRONG
The only 15.6V unit these "fit" is the outdated CHV1568, not the current 15.6V 1510 as noted elsewhere (except in the product description!). Not only that, they do not look like the real HEPA filter; they have far fewer pleats than the boxed B&D VF100H filters, and they fit loosely in my 14.4 Dustbuster that uses these filters so there is no air seal around them - meaning they won't work. I've been using real B&D VF100H filters in my 14.4v unit for three years, and the exhaust is still perfectly clean. These are useless.

Doesn't fit the CHV1510 Vac
Description says it fits ALL Cyclonic hand vacs. It doesn't. Not even close on the 1510. At some point B&D must have changed the filter design. Check carefully before yo order if they fit your model.

Not easy to find, but a fantastic product.
Talk about a challenging product to find. I've checked several stores, but almost none of them carried this model. Although, Amazon currently carries them and that really helps out immensely. I am glad I went and got the Hepa version because it will lock in more dirt and dust than the standard model. The Hepa version is slightly larger than the standard model, but looks and feels more durable as well.

In addition, not only does the filter lock in more dust and dirt, it's also much more powerful as well. I am not sure on the specifics, but because it's able to trap more dirt, the amount of time cleaning is shortened and the suction is slightly more stronger.

Overall, it's a really great product and although it did take some time to find, it is worth the purchase and is does have a variety of benefits. I've noticed though, it may be cheaper to simply purchase two filters rather one at a time. And if anything happens to the first filter, there will always be...
