Foam Filter for Vacuum Cleaner, No name, model KAT00898 (MPN) — sound-dampening

Foam Filter for Vacuum Cleaner (sound-dampening) is a porous foam inlet/intermediate filter designed for use in compatible household vacuum cleaners. The filter captures fine dust particles while its open-cell foam structure helps reduce motor noise and vibration. Intended as a consumable part, this foam element maintains airflow and filtration performance when replaced regularly, supporting consistent suction and quieter operation during routine cleaning.

Advantages

The foam material provides a balance between airflow and particle capture, retaining debris without overly restricting suction. Its sound-dampening properties lower audible motor noise and reduce vibrations transmitted through the vacuum housing. Lightweight and simple in shape, the filter is easy to install and remove for cleaning or replacement. As a consumable, it is a cost-effective way to preserve vacuum performance and extend the service life of the appliance when changed at recommended intervals.

Suitable for

• Regular household floor and carpet cleaning
• Maintenance of canister and upright vacuum cleaners that accept a rectangular or cylindrical foam inlet/intermediate element
• Situations where reduced motor noise is desired during vacuuming
• Routine filter replacement to restore suction efficiency

Key specifications

• Material: open-cell porous foam for particle capture and airflow
• Function: inlet/intermediate filtration and sound dampening
• Form factor: rectangular/cylindrical foam element compatible with matching housings
• Maintenance: washable depending on manufacturer guidance; replace as a consumable
• Intended use: household vacuum cleaners; single-component filter element

How to use

Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before accessing the filter compartment. Remove the old foam element by following the vacuum manufacturer's instructions for filter access. Insert the foam filter into the designated slot or chamber, ensuring it sits securely without gaps that could bypass airflow. If the filter is washable, gently rinse with lukewarm water and allow it to dry completely before reinserting. Reassemble the vacuum and test operation to confirm proper fit and airflow.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the foam filter regularly and replace it when it shows signs of wear, saturation with dust, persistent odor, or when suction performance declines. Follow the vacuum cleaner manufacturer's guidance for replacement intervals, and avoid using damaged foam that may shed particles into the motor or exhaust stream.
