Title says it all
This filter is exactly the same as the one that came in the vacuum.

Excellent for What It Is
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this vacuum for a downstairs rec. area with bare floors and no-pile carpets. Cat hair and paw-borne litter comprise the primary dirt. It's fairly easy to assemble if you take your time and don't force things although the drawings are small and next to useless in some cases. The vacuum is small, light, easily handled, not as loud as the more powerful machines, and IT WORKS.
Downsides? None as long as you remember how much you paid. It's not a heavy duty, whole-house, deep-pile carpet machine. It's a small reservoir bagless vacuum so it's going to need emptying much more often than if it had a bag. As I said, it's light so I don't know how much abuse it's going to tolerate. And now for the major caveat: I've used it twice so I know nothing of its long-term reliability.

Her Stroke Of Marketing
0 of 1 found this helpful My guess is that you’re interested in this book either because you’ve had a stroke or are close to someone who has. You see that the author is some kind of “brain scientist,” has a Ph.D. after her name and you have reasonably assumed the book is going to offer some pregnant insight into what happened to you, why it happened to you, and how to get better, while at the same time offering encouragement as you follow Ms. Taylor’s heroic eight-year struggle to recover some semblance of normality after suffering the most massive brain meltdown since Britney shaved her head and decided bouncing a baby on her lap while driving was a really swell idea.
And the answer is: None of the above.
She’s not going to tell you anything about your stroke because, unless you’re one of the extremely rare people who have the same congenital brain defect, she didn’t have your kind of stroke. And while she advertises herself as some kind of Harvard-trained brain scientist, she never explains what kind, what that has to do with strokes, or what she bothered to find out since she had hers.
She’s not going to tell you much about how to get better because Number 1, contrary to her self-promotional hyperbole, as strokes go she wasn’t all that disabled in the first place. In her words, "On day five, it was time for me to go home" (from the hospital), I did not qualify for occupational or physical therapy … I took my first solo adventure into the world” (on a plane) two months after the stroke, was living on her own and driving in 3 months, attended her high school reunion in 6 months and was back to work full-time by the eighth month. And Number 2, Momma G.G. structured the rehab and Momma G.G. didn’t write the book.
To be fair, there are some helpful hints in the book. Like don’t call Ms. Taylor’s doctor when having a stroke, especially if you can’t talk. Ms. Taylor, amidst the “Uhhhhhh, uhhhhhh, thhhhhh, thhhhhe, thhhhhiiiiiiizzzxzzaaaaaaa,” finally managed to be understood at which point, her doctor repeatedly directed her to get to a hospital . . . but did not call for an ambulance to go to her house! Doctor, Doctor, I’m very sick. Well, you’d best get better then . . . and have a nice day. Bye.
Look, aside from some lists, this book isn’t really much about strokes, at least nowhere near a book’s worth. The woman had a stroke, it shut down the left side of her brain for a time causing her to think with her right and she turned into a liquid at one with every other genius-cell in the universe. The “insight” was that she was happier. She’s now advising you to do the same by simply ignoring your left hemisphere so you can get in touch with your right brain.
Or, you could avoid My stroke of Insight and adjust your life according to Monty Python: “Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.”
There is, however, one statement in the book worth its entire price: “I have heard doctors say, ‘If you don’t have your abilities back by six months after your stroke, then you won’t get them back!’ Believe me, this is not true.” Amen.
