VF4000 Standard Filter for Wet/Dry Vacs Ridgide Vacs 5 Gallons and Larger Vacuum Cleaner, Replacement Vf4000 Filter -Pack of 1 PCS-NEW!

The first time I (attempted) to remove the filter from the motorhead to clean it of dust and debris, the filter paper tore from the rubber housing end rendering the filter useless. I wasn't even touching the paper. I was pressing down on the center mounting pin while pulling up on the rubber bottom to pop it off the mounting pin. I've performed that same operation dozens of times with the original filter in order to clean it and re-mount it.

After multiple cleanings of my large wet/dry orange shop vacuum; it was time for a replacement filter. The Big Box store price for their filter, to fit their vacuum is much to expensive for me. This filter may not be all the HEPA and other stuff, but works just fine, with strong suction in my garage and outside on home projects. Good Product, Good Price.

The filter is a good replacement and works great!

Too large for Rigid vac. Trimmed and made work.

I had the original filter for a decade, used it wet and dry, and would take it out and beat the dust out and reuse it. I decided to finally replace, bought this one 2 months ago, used it about twice, opened it up today and it literally disentgrated. Don't buy this filter.

This is a great replacement filter. My shop vac is probably 20 years old and now the suction is just like new. Never changed the filter before and its like a brand new shop vac. Great value for the money, I will buy again when I need a new filter.

I know I needed to change the filter but I procrastinated. However, I'm glad I finally purchased a new filter through Amazon. The performance is so much better.

This fits my Ridgid wet dry vac 3.25 HP 8 gallon shop vac. It's a perfect fit for my 20 year old vacuum.
