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.

Interesting. Net?

My old craftsman that I have was used on jobsites and I know did clean-up at at least three large cabins built from salvaged 1800-era cabins. Then was retired and spent time at a tire shop for several years. It makes a whale of a noise but it'll suck up water, debris, whatever you point it at! Like I said, it's loud, but it keeps on going...kinda like the Energizer Bunny. It is now living it's senior years for the odd cleanup and vacuuming a car or two out once in a while. I've got to admit that it's been a good one...probably the exception to the rule.
