This vacuum is sold without a HEPA Filter which is bought separately and it seems mighty might vacuum bags. Are the filter and the bags compatible?

I didn't buy the filter since the bags have 99.7% filtration. It is very powerful and I'm very glad I chose this model.

The one I received was the same as the photo image. I've been using it in the vacuum and it has worked well. ***Edited part***: Hello Christopher F. If I am understanding you correctly you wanted to purchase the dust filter and they sent you the HEPA Filter instead. What I can tell you is that I have a Hoover Mod. #UH70120 Vac. and I purchased the dust filter (not the HEPA Filter) that sits on the top of the dust tank from the seller: Vacuum Fix. I had no issues with them or in sending me the correct part. If you were sent the wrong filter contact that seller and have them make things right. If not call Amazon Customer Service and they will assist you in this matter they have been very helpful in the past. Also I learn this a while ago, when buying things try to buy items that are "fulfilled by Amazon" or sold by them directly. This way you have there complete backing on the item being sold. Fulfilled means that Amazon is acting as the middle man between you and the seller. This usually is listed next to by who the item is being sold by. Hope I helped and good luck. Show Less

The Hepa filter is a separate part from the dust bag. The link below will show you what one looks like. This may or may not be the correct Hepa filter for your model vacuum cleaner. There are two filters that come in the box with the dust bags. One is a motor filter to keep dust from getting into the motor and damaging it. The other filter is a clean air filter that goes in the same compartment as a Hepa filter. You use either the thin clean air filter or the Hepa filter, but not both at the same time. It's one or the other. The clean air filter comes free with the dust bags. If you want a Hepa filter you have to purchase it separately and put it in the compartment that you will remove the thin clean air filter from. I believe you have to remove the plastic grill that holds the clean air filter in place before you snap in a Hepa filter which doesn't need anything to hold it in place because it is substantially thicker than a clean air filter. http://www.amazon.com/MIELE-4854915-Replacement-HEPA-Filter/dp/B0007UPZZ8/ref=sr_1_3?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1388168102&sr=1-3&keywords=miele+hepa+filter

I think the physical vacuums are the same but the HEPA or $495 vacuum comes with the HEPA bag/filter/screw kit. I bought the the HEPA version just about 6 months ago and it was $368, so it was definitely cheaper to buy the HEPA version outright instead of the HEPA accessory package and the vacuum separarely. Now it seems it's $100 cheaper to to buy the vacuum and HEPA kit separately. Don't forget you also need to buy the foam filter to use this as a wet vac, it is not included and don't think of using this to vacuum joint compound dust without the HEPA kit or you'll kill it. It is an amazing quiet powerful vacuum, just irritating you have to buy everything separately.

I think that is referring to filters for the vacuum cleaner. I have the model that doesn't come with a vac (use my own), there is no filter (but my vac has one).

Sorry for the belated response. Yes, the vacuum comes with a "HEPA Media Filter." The entire filter assembly replacement can be ordered from Bissell. Hope u bought one of these vacs. They're excellent for small jobs, or when u don't want to drag out something bigger. The cord is long enough for most jobs. Jan

yes, but beware, there are no replacement filters available so after you done with filter, you are done with the vacuum too.

Hey! I just ordered the bags from Amazon at the same time I bought the vacuum. the Amazon site suggested them actually. worked for me!

Yes it can, and if you do you need to take out the bag filter and install an extra piece that comes with the vacuum so that water does not go into the HEPA filter.

There is no HEPA filter. There is a dust filter but it does not qualify as HEPA.

On Amazon! See the listing for the Vacuum itself and you will see. However the filter is durable and can be cleaned repeatedly. I use compressed air about once a month; just make sure you are upwind and that whatever is downwind won't mind a huge cloud of dust!

This one has a HEPA filter bag . It has no tank . I have this one connected to a mini-cyclone ( Dust Deputy ) so my bag lasts me a long time.

I have no idea since I don't have this model. If the filter is compatible with the Sears hepa filter then I would say yes. Perhaps you could get more information from the place where you bought your vacuum from. Sorry I could not be any more help.
