I edited, I did not go through filters, I went through vacuums, but I did have problems getting filters early on and I did not use the net to find such things then, these were used heavily, lots of light dust that gets through around the filter unless you clean it OFTEN and muddy water so I used them till the motors burnt out.

Each on lasted approx. ten years; when the motors start to go they go from loud to extremely LOUD.

The large one I have has two different filters. One for stuff like drywall dust (fine) and one for every day use (larger particle stuff).

Eek, muddy water? I've only had to use it for water once, but it wasn't much.
