Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shop-Vac 9034000 Gore CleanStream Replacement Cartridge Filter
Customer Review: Worth the money if you wash your filter frequently
Summary: 5 Stars
I normally get the blue filters, completely clog and wash them out once a week. Comparatively, this one is much easier to wash out as it has some sort of teflon-like coating. It doesn't look as terrible afterwards either. Been through three washes and still looks new, I usually get 6-8 out of the blue ones. Will update in a few months with my findings.
7/1 - it's still looking pretty good, if a bit yellowish. Still works like new, has been washed weekly since arrival. The teflon coating is starting to peel and flake as of last week. Might be because I leave it in the sun to dry, I'm not sure. Will continue to use it until it can't perform, definitely got my money's worth out of it. Normally by week 6 on the blue ones I would notice a noise difference in the motor of my shop vac due to it having to work harder to pull air through the filter. I have not yet noticed it on this one.
9/30/10 - Still using it, still washing it weekly, it'll probably need replaced in another month or so. The white coating is really taking a beating but has far outlasted the blue or white regular filters.
Customer Review: Smells like gasoline
Summary: 1 Stars
I really love the washable cleanstream hepa filters I purchaed years ago. They clearly catch the dust that even the yellow filter bags cannot. I recommend using the yellow dust bag and a hepa filter for maximum suction performance. But I bought a new one reciently to replace my old worn out filter and the new one smells so bad I can hardly stand to hold the box. The smell is like gasoline, and the oil has stained the paper blue in the box. I hope ShopVac will correct this issue. Until then I would not recommend this item if you want to breath some clean air in your shop.
If you by one you should buy two. That way you can let one dry out after washing it and use the backup. A wet filter will block the air flow and could damage your shop vac motor.
Customer Review: CleanStream replacement filter cartridge for Shop-
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item to be used in a Shop-Vac that removes chips and wood dust from woodworking machines.The claim was that, vacuumed particles would simply fall off the filter
after the power was shut off. I hoped that I could eliminate the expense of filter bags. NOT SO. The filter quickly became clogged and I had to clean it frequently in order to maintain the full flow of air through the vacuum. I have since added the filter bags and have eliminated the filter maintenance problem until the bag is full.
I'm sure that the CleanStream is more efficient than the original filter as far as removing the finer particles from the exhaust air. I would have given the item a 5 if it had met my expectations.
Customer Review: OK WITH AN INSIDE BAG
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a great filter if used with an inside bag. It will catch the fine dust. If you use it alone or with a garbage bag and a bag keeper, it will quickly fill up with stuff and have to be cleaned out. To clean it, you need to blow it with compressed air, making a huge cloud of dust. If you tap it as suggested you still get a huge mess of dust and it doesn't come clean. I tried it all three ways and decided to pay the price for the inside bag which catches most of the stuff being vacuumed.Customer Review: Forget Bags or other HEPA's-This is the one...it's washable!
Summary: 5 Stars
This filter works completely awesome and filters drywall dust, fireplace ash, and just about anything else bigger than .3 microns (hospital grade filtration rating even filters viruses). Plus, it's washable!!! so you can use it over and over, or wet. This is the last shop vac filter you will ever by. Nothing gets by it.
