Miele Original 9616280 SF-HA 50 HEPA Air Clean Filter with TimeStrip Indicator for Miele Complete C2/C3, Compact C1/C2 Vacuum Cleaners, Blue

Good quality HEPA filter. I'm on my second one. The red line indicating when it should be replaced is not very accurate; after about three years I decided to replace my original one even though the bar wasn't at the end yet. The top side of the filter was still white, but the bottom was dark gray, almost black. It clearly filters well, and lasts a while, making the price worth it. I like that there's a rubbery seal around the edge to ensure no air can escape around the sides without being filtered. Double check compatibility with your vacuum model first -- I've accidentally bought the wrong filter model before.

Nothing much to say, just filling the box to rate the product.

Recambio original. El paquete de cartón vino un poco dañado y rasgado, como si hubiera sido separado de un paquete mayor al que estuviera adherido (promocion?). El filtro estaba nuevo aunque el paquete parecía abierto, solo cerrado por el cartón. Está en perfecto estado y funciona muy bien.

Bien

This is exactly like the original HEPA filter. My model is SGPE0 - C3 series. So it fits perfectly and works well. I wish it was cheaper , but I spent a lot on the machine, so might as well buy a Miele filter. The filter has an indicator for when to replace it. You crush a green button on the filter and ink starts flowing into the indicator, very slowly. Normal replacement time is 1 year or 50 hrs. Of use. It takes approx 1 yr for the ink to move to full red. If you vacuum more or less than 50 hrs a year (1 hr/week) your change frequency will vary.
