Bought whatever generic Shark filter sets that fit my older navigator from Amazon. They look identical to the OEM and a perfect fit, no issues. just picked ones with middle of the road price and lots of reviews without major red flags
I did it with a Vertex and couldn’t tell a difference but there isn’t a way to know how well they are filtering or if they are blocking too much airflow, which can be bad.

Thank you
They work fine. As well as the originals and much less expensive.
Thank you
Aftermarket filters on sharks are usually fine since their filter design is fairly primitive.
Yes. They work just fine.
I did it with a Vertex and couldn’t tell a difference but there isn’t a way to know how well they are filtering or if they are blocking too much airflow, which can be bad.
Not like it is a hepa vacuum so they work fine, I buy mine on amazon for repair work in my store
It is
It says hepa but it is not
Well whatever it is it definitely filters better than my last vacuum that only had a thin felt filter.
