Better Than Generic Yellow/Orange see my images
I have had my Eureka 4870 vacuum for 7 yrs. I replaced the generic HEPA filters I WAS buying from other Amazon suppliers with the black 3M Filtrete Model HF-2 listed here, and (believe it or not) the black 3M Filtrete is far superior IMHO. The amount of air is much greater coming out of the front of the vac. A restricted HEPA Filter is just like a restricted bag. The generics I had used before had an orange casing & had the A & H scent "pad" in the center. Not good....not only did they smell worse than no scent at all but obviously the scent pad was restricting the air flow. Do not buy the Arm & Hammer models. They are shown on the first image above but mine does not look like that at all. The 3M Filtrete package is red & blue not red & white as the Arm & Hammer is. The 3M Filtrete Eureka HF-2 allows more air to pass through the vac, meaning more suction. Mine has the model # 67802A on the back (not front) of the wrapper, does not mention ARM & HAMMER just 3M Filtrete & has a black...
Good filter, tough fit.
As noted in a previous review, this filter does not fit in the Eureka vacuum without quite a bit of effort. However, I was finally able to get the door closed over filter and it works well.
Buy the Amazon version and get an OEM product
This is a genuine version of the filter and does not have the scented pads which are on the other versions. This has 8 vertical slots and 42 pleats which the original product has. This works well with the vacuum giving a full air flow. Overall this is the better product at Amazon for the HF 2 and is worth the extra cost compared to the generics. The Amazon price is much better than the retail price at least.
