DON'T WASH!!!!!
As someone else said, these are black, not the yellow that I got with the vacuum when I bought it new. But they work. And, like the original filters, they ARE NOT WASHABLE!!!! They are made of paper/cardboard, and if you know anything about paper and water, you know they don't play well together. If you wash the filter, look for it to start deteriorating. Better to just slap the thing against your hand and get all of the dust out you can. You'll be able to use it alot longer.

After looking at these more closely, they appear NOT to be made of paper/cardboard after all. They do seem to be "plastic-ish". I haven't washed mine yet, but I probably will give it a try when the time comes.
Dirt Devil F12 Replacement Filter
Item works! Color is black not orange tho'. Fits vacumn cleaner perfectly. Shipped fast! Would recommend as a replacement for the paper filter. Purchased on Amazon. Update: Highly recommend using air compressor instead of washing unless filter has been very lightly used. My experience has been that in washing mud forms in the pleats and won't come out. But works great when blown out with air.
Is this a HEPA filter?
I think the original filters on the vacuum is HEPA. However, I doubt this one is a HEPA, as it doesn't mention at all.
