You can immediately make a reservation - this cyclone filter will fit almost any modern vacuum cleaner, the tube diameter of which is 32 and 35 mm. When I bought a vacuum cleaner many years ago, a large box with additional attachments came with it as a gift. On the box it was written that this is a set of attachments specifically for cleaning during and / or after repairs. In this box there were 3 or 4 nozzles - to collect dust during drilling, for large debris, some more, I don't remember, all this lies on the mezzanine. And then there was the cyclone filter - the only attachment from this gift box that I used constantly until it broke. I loved her so much, she was so convenient and irreplaceable that I immediately ran to buy the same one.
In fact, not right away, because I did not know what the nozzle was called, and googling "for repair", "on the pipe" did not give any result. But somehow buying a dust collector for a vacuum cleaner, and looking through the section, I finally saw the filter itself, and the name - cyclonic.
I have a vacuum cleaner - Electrolux and gift nozzles were native. But I decided to buy a cyclone filter from another company, and why I will show you in pictures below. At the same price, filters from different companies do not differ significantly + - 300 rubles.
So, I bought a filter - Neolux FC-02.
What is it, why is it in a simple life, what does it look like?
Let's look at it in order. Let's start with the box.
Small rectangular box.
One side view
View from the other side - there is an instruction, there is no separate paper.
(I will show larger labels below)
View from the narrow side and from the ends.
Inside there is a very modest packaging.
The filter is simply packed in a bag.
But the plastic flask is protected by a pimpled bag, adapters for different pipe diameters are put on the filter.
Filter and adapters
Here is the entire filter disassembled.
The bulb can be removed easily - you need to turn it slightly counterclockwise, and the pins will come out of the groove. Two pins opposite each other. And to put it on, insert it into the holes and turn it clockwise.
Now I will tell you why I bought this filter, and not my native Electrolux.
The family member served for a long time, I can’t say anything - ten years or more, and would have served another twenty years if the plastic latch had not broken. I circled in red in the photo.
I glued it as much as I could, but it completely broke off. And judging by the reviews, this is a weak point. Therefore, I thought that another design would last longer.

Why this filter and why do I consider it a must-have?
Its main task is to collect large debris, protect the motor, and dust collectors that can break from a large / sharp / etc.
Therefore, it is really irreplaceable during repairs.
But even without repair it is very convenient with him.
For example:
1. You have taken out the tree, you have a lot of needles / tinsel - it will all be in the flask.
2. You have a pet, a lot of wool is everywhere, it becomes a stake in a flexible pipe, you have to disassemble, push - everything will be in the flask.
3. You have small children who scatter construction kit parts or your rings / earrings, and then you cut open the dust collector to find this little thing - everything will be in the flask.
Well, and, of course, such a filter saves dust collectors, because only fine dust gets there, and even then, not all. With a cyclone filter, a full dust collector will not be enough for a year.
The filter is easy to clean and easy to clean.

It's time to show a larger inscription.
This is how the filter works.
And this is how they describe it, the description fit any cyclone filter of any company.
Here is the equipment and how to assemble / disassemble
Well, the instructions for use itself
My vacuum cleaner has a standard tube.
Surprisingly, the adapters fit equally well.
And without them, the filter was also dressed. Only went deeper into the tube.
But, looking ahead, I will say that when the filter was full, it wobbled a little, so I will use adapters.
This is what it looks like on the pipe during cleaning.
I was thinking about how to show him in work, and decided to deliberately litter. She took dishwasher salt to play the role of garbage and weighed it.
By the way, about the scales wrote a review, four months have passed and I want to say that I am very pleased with them. Long shutdown (2 min.) - I have time to weigh everything, a convenient bowl.
So, 799 grams of salt.
Scattered on the floor.
Now we remove. By the way, the suction power is really evenly strong with the filter.
It's a pity, I thought too late to photograph the funnel, although it was smeared in motion.
In a matter of minutes, everything was assembled, the floor was clean, and there was salt in the flask and even some kind of rubbish, which I overlooked, although I cleaned it before taking a photo. I reset the bowl on the scales.
And here is the result - 720 grams.
79 grams of salt went into the dust collector.
I think it would have taken more if the vacuum cleaner worked longer, because thin salt. But if I had sawdust for testing, they would not have lost anything in weight, because the grate would not let them go further down the pipe.

Total:
Neolux FC-02
- weight 360g.
- flask volume 0.75l.
- suitable for all vacuum cleaners with tubes of 32 or 35 mm diameter.
There is also FC-01, exactly the same, only the flask is longer - by 1.15 liters.
How long this particular filter will last I don't know.
Hopefully for a long time.
In principle, they are all similar in design. They differ in design, probably, in the quality of plastic, or in a latch, as experience has shown with the Electrolux attachment.
But the cyclone filter itself, as a useful nozzle, is highly recommended.
