Overview
Not a dust bag or a pre-motor screen, this Kenmore part is an exhaust filter that cleans the air leaving the vacuum. The element is HEPA media made of paper and is meant for disposal rather than washing.
The reason to buy is a direct replacement for the exhaust filter on a listed Kenmore model, with allergy-minded filtration. The limit is that it is model specific and cannot be washed.
Who it's for
Households with allergies and a listed Kenmore upright or canister get fresh exhaust filtering on schedule. Owners of other vacuum brands, or models not named, need to confirm the part first.
Pros and cons
- HEPA media for exhaust air
- Named Kenmore model list
- Disposable, no washing
- One year warranty
- Not washable or reusable
- Fits listed Kenmore models only
- Single filter per order
Performance notes
Exhaust filters catch fine dust and dander in the air leaving the machine, after the main filtration. Paper media clogs with use, which reduces airflow, so replacement on schedule matters more than cleaning.
