Riccar 8900 HEPA Post Filter

No, this specific filter is designed exclusively for the Riccar 8955 upright vacuum. Please verify your vacuum model number before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

No, this filter is not washable or reusable. Because it uses high-flow pleated HEPA media, washing it will damage the fibers and compromise its ability to trap fine dust and allergens.

For optimal performance and air quality, we recommend replacing the filter according to your vacuum's user manual, typically every 6 to 12 months depending on your household's usage and dust levels.

Using a genuine Riccar part ensures an exact fit and maintains the vacuum's original filtration standards. Generic or off-brand filters may not seal correctly, which can allow dust to bypass the filter and escape back into your home.

HEPA media refers to a high-efficiency filtration standard capable of capturing microscopic particles like pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. This ensures that the air exhausted from your vacuum is cleaner than the air it initially pulled in.
