Rigid the way to go
Style: VF5000 - Fine Dust
Fits snugly to my rigid shop vac. A lot better in filtering ability than aftermarket options. I like this genuine filter from amazon as they are built well. Never like to compromise on the shop vac filter options and go with rigid all the time. Last time I bought an aftermarket filter from amazon and it did not even fit my shop vac so ended up picking rigid and stuck with it. ... show more

PERFECT FIT
Style: VF6000 - HEPA Media Filter
I was about to throw the shop vac out and buy another when I decided to call the company. The customer representative told. me the issue with my vac was it needed a new filter and suggested this one for pets. Works amazing and the issue was solved! Highly recommend trying a new filter before going the expense of buying a new shop vac! ... show more

Easier to install than aftermarket filter
Style: VF5000 - Fine Dust
I tried cheaper third party filters and found them problematic to install and difficult to remove. Went back to OEM and had no issues.

Worked with my ancient Rigid WD06250
Style: VF6000 - HEPA Media Filter
On 1st look it seems too small. But was same size as original filter. Fit perfectly. Given this is a HEPA filter I thought it might have less suction. But no apparent change.

cleaner air
Style: VF5000 - Fine Dust
I've been buying the 1-layer standard filter up till now. Thought I'd lose suction power with a higher filter. Nope, works great and works much better than the standard.

Works Surprising Well
Style: VF6000 - HEPA Media Filter
Never realized quite how much saw dust was escaping my shopvac until I started using one of these HEPA filters. Like night and day

Rigid 14 gallon shop vac
Style: VF5000 - Fine Dust
OEM part, just like original. Must have. I tried an off brand filter and it fell apart. Get the original rigid filter.

An absolute must for woodworkers
Style: VF5000 - Fine Dust
The single-layer filter that comes with your shop vac can only filter particles larger than 10 micron. A large amount of the sawdust you make—and ALL the most dangerous for your lungs—is smaller. Connect your stock shop vac to your table saw or your sander and the thing is just SPRAYING FINE DUST into the air. Replace it with this—it's a big difference for a relatively small cost. Also do yourself a favor and buy bags for your shop vac. They're 5 bucks each and will save you the mess and hassle of frequently cleaning out the filter. Don't pinch pennies here. Do these two things and your vac is finally up to comparing to a certain german-engineered dust extractor costing several times more (I use both). ... show more
