Product details
Part 97D5 is a HEPA media filter built for Bissell's Eraser hand vacuum, fitting the 33A1 and 33A1B directly. The same part is listed for the 37U6E and the 47R5B as well, so one filter covers all four of those models.
A handheld unit carries only a tiny reserve of air, so a filter that has loaded up makes itself known almost right away. The moment the motor starts spinning, pickup weakens noticeably, pitch climbs as the motor labors against the blockage, and a gray film of trapped dust becomes visible across the pleats. A rinse can stretch the filter's life somewhat, but once dust has worked itself into the media, that lost airflow does not come back.
- Part: 97D5, HEPA media filter
- Fits: Bissell 33A1, 33A1B, 37U6E, and 47R5B Eraser hand vacuums
- Replace: roughly every few months of regular use, or sooner if suction drops fast
Push the fresh filter all the way into its housing before snapping the dirt cup back into place. A filter seated even a little off lets dirt slip past it straight to the motor, which shortens the machine's working life rather than extending it. Since a hand vac gets grabbed for quick jobs rather than scheduled cleaning, checking this part on a set reminder beats waiting for the machine to show signs of trouble. Keep a spare on hand for a unit reached for daily, since a filter giving out mid-job is a bigger setback on a small machine than on a full-size upright with more capacity built in.
