Bought the kit back in April 2018 and replaced the original filters. As of writing it's July 2018 an I have to say, I'm extremely impressed by the filters. The original set, after 3-4 months worth of weekly vacuuming, I could see dust penetrating through the foam and be caught on the felt pre-filter. I could also see that the foam was just the exact size as cavity it was on meaning, it wasn't exactly that snug. These filters though, from what I've examined, are much better: the foam is actually slightly bigger than the cavity meaning it's pretty snug (if not slightly tight) which is REALLY good, meaning a lot less dust bypassing it. I've also looked the foam itself and after 3 months of use (same routine cycle), there's hardly any dust penetrating through it. The felt filter is still close to pristine! The HEPA filter I've yet to actually use - meaning I'm still using the original, but I'm going to change all of them soon once I feel the need to. I'm definitely going to buy these again once I need another cycle of replacements filters.
I was really impressed by the Smartide filter kit. We purchased this to replace both the felt/foam (two stacking interior pieces) and HEPA filter (exterior plastic piece) in our Shark Navigator LiftAway Professional.
Some had commented on missing pieces or incomplete kits but I'm happy to report our order included two sets of the foam/felt filter (individually wrapped) as well as the plastic HEPA filter.
The pieces fit just as well as the OEM filters and allow me to wash and allow dry while ensuring there are always filters in the vaccum.
Something I thought was a nice "extra" feature is that the felt piece actually has a tab attached to the top which makes removing it super easy.
When we first put the new filters in our vacuum it seemed the suction (which has deteriorated over the years, despite regular cleaning) was immediately restored. I think I'll continue swapping these two and cleaning on a regular basis, but I'm glad to know there's an affordable and quality brand available for replacements in the future!
I would definitely recommend these for replacement in a Shark vacuum.
Fit fine. Smells much better than one that has been rinsed over and over. The outer HEPA filter (that doesn't get cleaned) had gotten dirtier and yellower than I realized. Restored a lot of suction power. Will be replacing somewhat annually now because it's cheaper than replacing the whole vacuum.
Ps - I find that going outside and hitting the filters against things works better than rinsing because rinsing leads to mildew and stank. Don't put them in the dishwasher... that made them really stank.
The replacement Hepa filter alone made this a worthwhile purchase. I had never even thought to replace it until I was looking for a new foam filter and saw this package. All of the items fit perfectly. My only reservation is the foam filter may not hold up as well as the original. I like washing out the canister and washing the foam pad. they get pretty groedy, and after a wash everything smells better. Anyway, the new foam pad seems a bit lighter and more ridged. It may not last near as long.
My vacuum developed a bad smell when in use and I had tried washing and drying the filters, but the smell persisted. Bought these and they were a perfect fit and thr smell was gone. Suction improved as well, which I hadn't noticed had worsened with the old filters.

I live near a riverbed and the silt really fills my carpets. My little Navigator can really pull it out, with multiple dust bin emptyings, and the filters get completely packed with silt. Until I got my new set of filters, I had to beat the original ones repeatedly so I could keep using my vacuum. Having two new ones, I can now wash a set and still use my vacuum while they are drying.
I have been looking for these filters for a long time. I knew I needed to replace mine sooner than later. They were a perfect fit for my Shark Navigator lift away Vacum Cleaner. I was a little uneasy at first at ordering them over the Internet but I just could not find them in my local stores nor in the place I purchased it! I was delighted to see a photo of MY vacuum cleaner on AMAZON when I did a search for the filters. Exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price too. Thank you my SHARK vacum working in tip top condition as always...
This is a very cost-effective set of replacement filters for my Shark vacuum cleaner. Well the primary foam and felt filters are washable, I find that my vacuum works and smells better when I replace them every six months or so. They drop right in and seem to make a good deal and feel about the same quality as the OEM that came with the vacuum.
Well I have to say with even repeated washings, these filters really hold up! I could probably have gone another few months but why risk it when you can get as good of a deal buying with this seller?? The price was right, the shipping very fast, the updates were helpful too! I highly recommend this seller and his products. I know I'll be returning for sure!!
I got these today and changed my old filters right away. I had been rinsing the foam one; the HEPA filter and pre-filter hadn't been replaced in a while. I went with this pack, as the price was right and the shipping was fast.
I was amazed at how much better the Shark was sucking after putting these in! Washing the foam filter is good and all but it must have been getting pretty clogged with little stuff, because the performance between the old and new filters was night and day. The HEPA filter is well-built and not at all cheap in materials and build quality. The foam and pre filters fit perfectly. The pre filter even has a lift-tab to make removal a little bit easier. The old HEPA filter was a little stubborn coming out but it eventually worked its way out.
All in all I'd go with these filters again. The price was great, they arrived in two days, and they work great!
