Dyson 969082-01, V10 Filter, Purple

I tried an off brand filter. It did not fit as tight but more importantly it did not work correctly. the off brand allowed a lot of dust to accumulate in the filter itself. The vacuum would pulse on and off.The original Dyson filter works great.

These have been so much better than the OEM with respect to price and availability. Our first filter got to the point it was unusable, even after cleanings, and it took months to get a replacement from Dyson. We found these and haven’t looked back since. I will say that sometimes it requires a little twisting back-and-forth to get the connection to stick, but other than that, it’s been fine on our V 11. Highly recommended!

For as often as you need to replace these, OEM is the best choice for performance and durability. They last for such a long time before needing to be replaced I think its worth the higher cost for the OEM filter.

My Dyson was operating in a not so great arena. I had changed the Trigger after I diagnosed it was broken. After putting it together, I had ordered a generic filter to use. The vaccume worked Ok but I thought that I had done something wrong because the suction was not there. After a while, I bought amother vaccum thinking mine was toast. I decided to purchase a OEM Dyson filter thinking maybe the generic filter might be defective. I read some of the feedback and some were complaining it was too tight. Well it turns out that was the problem with the generic brand. It was too loose and did not create a good suction. My Dyson is back in service with a very good suction that was noticed by the family. And it runs quieter too. I highly recommend when looking for a filter that buying a generic might work ok, but in my case it did not, I would recommend An OEM Dyson filter. I won;t by anything other than a Dyson made filter.

I have bought aftermarket filters before, so I wanted to get a new, genuine Dyson filter. I placed the order, but somehow the order was accidentally cancelled by seller. I contacted seller via Amazon and the confusion was resolved. Seller requested that I place another order and he would make sure that the filter was shipped. I delayed on reordering due to life getting in the way. And then, a box showed up with the filter! The seller had sent it at no cost due to the confusion and asked that I edit my initial review about cancellation.I tried the filter on. It did not fit well. It was very tight and I had to forcefully put it on. I emailed the seller to confirm that it was a genuine Dyson filter as there weren’t any issues with the old one and no stickers like the old one (and I noticed a few other reviews questioning the genuine filter). The seller confirmed that it was indeed a Dyson filter and that it would be a tight fit in order to create a better seal.So, my biggest suggestion would be to sellers:Include a small piece of paper or a sticker on the box stating: “In order to create a better seal, please be advised that the fit of the new filter will be much tighter than the old filter.”This small bit of information would provide the buyer with the necessary information about the way the new filter will fit and would probably help to alleviate or even eliminate any returns for “wrong product” or “bad fit”.The seller was quick to respond to my questions and went above and beyond to help get the product to me. I hope that I did not offend him by my questions.Attached are pictures of the box, my original Dyson filter, the new Dyson filter and my old aftermarket filter. Note the lack of customer service phone number sticker or large diagram sticker. But there is a QR sticker and a washing diagram on the original AND the new OEM filters. Communication would benefit both parties.
