"compare to" doesn't entirely equal "same as"
I got this when the original filter for my DC-31 started to tear along the top edge. It works, but it seems more material is slipping past the filter. I haven't run a side-by-side comparison, so it might have been my use rather than the filter. But when I open the unit to clean the filter there is more accumulated dust/debris on the "clean" side of the filter than there used to be with the factory filter.
Excellent replacement filter
You need one of these or two. I didn't realize how big of an annoyance the shut down on the vac is when the filter is dirty. I have this at a ready. Once it shuts down, I pull the one that is in, replace it with the clean one and continue. When done, I wash the one that was pulled so that I always have a spare. That combined with a spare battery makes cleaning go by quickly and efficiently.
Seems to work just fine
Since the filter in the Dyson handheld units has to be rinsed out regularly, I've found it useful to have extras on hand because the filter must be air dried which takes several hours. On the one hand, I can certainly manage to do without the vacuum for a few hours, but it's a pain to have it lying about disassembled. If I put it back together and store it waiting for the filter to dry, I can forget the filter hasn't been replaced and use it with no filter which could be damaging. Seemed a much better idea to have extras I could put in right away, and when the original was dry I store it for use the next time I change the filter.
Having the extras has worked really well and I no longer stress about drying time. I have the DC35 handheld and the DC44 handheld with the long wand and power brushes. This filter fits fine in both. The only difference I was able to discern from the standard Dyson filter was that the tab used to pull the filter out of the handheld is placed...
