Genuine Eureka DCF-10 / DCF-14 Filter 62731 - 1 filter

different but it works
it fits and work in my vacuum theEureka Optima Lightweight ( the yellow one) though the DCF14 looks different from the DCF10 filter that came with the vacuum. the DCF14 is yellow and has no piece that fits down the pipe and its bigger. plus there are really no instructions on how to install it. but it is not that hard.
i've read several reviews and alot of people said they put a nylon over the filter so i bought some cheap kneehighs and tried it on this filter that keep the clogging down alot it stops the big stuff from getting in the fins of the filter so i dont have to wash it out like the DCF10 so far its works good. i bought two DCF14 thinking i would have to change them quickly like the DCF10 but its been about a month now and i'm still on the first one which i think has a lot to do with the nylon
hope this helps

Messy filters, having extra ones makes it easier to wash them
I really like my Optima lightweight vac - it is great for cleaning stairs and my area rugs. It is easy to maneuver , it is not too heavy, yet has very strong suction.

But I hate changing the filters - they are so messy. I have to do it outside on a non-windy day. So having a few spares really helps in several ways. I have used both DCF-10 and DCF-14 filter in my vacuum and they both fit well.

Cleaning these filters is very hard, dust gets stuck in the crevices. However, if I wash them with jet stream from the water hose, it is possible to get them relatively clean. So I what I do is take the vacuum outside, remove the filter, shake it out, and then use the jet to clean it. After the filter has been washed I leave it to dry for a while. In the meantime I put another filter in. So I can put away the vacuum before the filter dries out.

I found that the price on the on this product fluctuates between $10 and $15. There is a nice online tool that I use...

seems to do the job
we were worried that this might not be the correct filter, as the size and shape are a bit different than the DCF-10 that came with our vacuum. but it does indeed fit, and so far is filtering just fine.
