Hoover Windtunnel Upright Secondary Filter



I did not even know this existed..
We had the Hoover Wind Tunnel Vac for 4 years (?), I noticed that the Hepa filter was missing, so I hopped on Amazon to get that, then I see that the cylinder filter was cheaper here so I got that and then I saw this "Secondary Filter"... I had no idea that my vac had one, so I ordered it (for $4). I got it quick (it came in an normal envelope, nothing impressive) and I started to look for the where to replace it... so if you remove the canister, and look where that rests, there is a plate held down with a screw and a hole that the air goes though.. yep that is where it should go.

I unscrewed the plate, pulled my old one out, it was as black as coal! Popped the new one in, and screwed the plate down. I think you could flip this since it seems like the air only goes though one-half of the filter at a time, but we will see.

I replaced a disgusting filter with a new one, good idea in my book.

Is it OEM... nah, does that matter, nope.

Fake Product
This is not OEM and it was wrong item. They charge a 20% restocking fee and buyer paids for shipping.

Wash and Throw
After 6 months use, I will throw this away. Washing this may clean a small portion but it almost falls apart after washing. For this price, I will go to the hardware store and buy a sheet of the material and cut a piece out and have a ton left over for future use.
