Overview

Meet the Dooniass 2-Pack Replacement Cartridge Filter, designed to pair with Craftsman 17816 wet/dry vacuums and many 5 gallon and larger models produced since 1988. These washable, reusable filters are sized for a snug fit and straightforward maintenance, helping you tackle everyday cleanup tasks with minimal fuss. The compact 8.5" height and 6.75" diameter ensure compatibility with a wide range of vacuums, while a detachable top cap makes installation simple even when you’re in a tight workspace.

What you get

This listing includes two replacement cartridge filters built for durability and repeated use. They’re designed to capture dust, sawdust, wood chips, and debris from job sites, garages, and vehicles, supporting steady vacuum performance without frequent replacement.

Key features

• Wide compatibility: fits Craftsman 17816 and 9-17816, and works with many 5 gallon and larger vacuums manufactured since 1988.
• Easy to use: pleated-paper design offers an oversized surface area for efficient pickup of dust and dirt; installation requires no tools.
• Practical sizing: Height 8.5 inches, diameter 6.75 inches; detachable top cap simplifies insertion and removal.
• Maintenance-friendly: washable and reusable; for best results, replace roughly every 3 months depending on usage and debris load.

Compatibility and range

In addition to the primary models, these filters will fit older vacuums across a broad range, including 6 gallon units manufactured since 1992 and 8, 12, 16, and 32 gallon vacuums since 1988. A quick model-number check on the detail page is recommended to confirm a perfect fit. Note that some 16-gallon shop vacs may not be compatible with this filter.

Real-life use

From woodworking projects producing fine sawdust to automotive cleanups that leave grit and dirt in corners, these filters are designed to handle common debris with composure. The washable design reduces waste, and the large surface area helps sustain suction as vacuumed material loads vary. The compact form and simple removal mean you can swap filters quickly between tasks, keeping downtime to a minimum.

Care and maintenance tips

• Inspect for wear after heavy use and rinse as directed by your vacuum’s care guidelines.
• Ensure a secure fit with the detachable top cap; avoid forcing the filter into place.
• Store in a dry area when not in use to maintain material integrity.

Important note

While these filters are designed for broad compatibility, double-check the model number on the product detail page before purchasing to ensure a correct match with your vacuum.
