A clogged filter is one of the first things to check when a vacuum loses suction. What to check before buying: the part number your model takes, and whether the filter is washable or disposable. Here are the listings we have for the most popular vacuum brands.

This is a third-party compatible filter, not made by Bissell.
Replacement for Bissell part 1608683 on the CrossWave wet-dry line. Wet-dry machines load their filters faster than dry vacuums, so keeping a spare on hand matters more here than anywhere else in this list.
Dyson is the device this part fits. We have not confirmed who manufactures this listing.
Disposable HEPA filter listed for Dyson cordless models — an alternative to washing the OEM filter and waiting 24 hours for it to dry. Check the part number against your model; we have not tested it.
Shark is the device this part fits. We have not confirmed who manufactures this listing.
Washable foam-and-felt pre-motor set listed for the Shark Navigator family (Filter R fitment). Rinse monthly, dry 24 hours, reinstall. We have not tested it.
Vacuum filters come in two types: washable (foam, felt) and disposable (HEPA paper). Washable filters should be rinsed monthly under cold water and air-dried completely for 24+ hours before reinstalling — a damp filter will damage the motor. Disposable HEPA filters cannot be washed and should be replaced every 6-12 months. For pet households, cut these intervals in half.
