Question: The SF-HA 30 is not blue, as pictured.  It's white.  And it doesn't have the charcoal filter in the back.  Is this really equivalent to the blue model
Document: The filter I just received was a genuine Miele HEPA filter. As for the pictures, I think the blue filter is the older version and the white one the newer. The one I received was white.
I ordered this by mistake a while ago and tried it yesterday it is the wrong model. I needed Miele SF-AH50 HEPA Filter.Is there a way to exchange?
The ultimate vacuum is the ultimate vacuum! The filter is really nice also! I believe this system is the best.
How do you really judge the affects of a HEPA filter unless you have acute allergies. This works well with our Miele  vacuum. installs easy, easy to monitor.. Kind of pricey
We have the Miele Cat and Dog that came with the charcoal filter. We noticed that every time we would vacuum my son would sneeze. When it came time to replace the filter I opted for the HEPA version this time. Glad I did! He no longer sneezes whenever the vacuum is run so it must be working. For those concerned about odors, I can't tell any discernible difference in odor coming from the machine at all.
I own the Miele Cat & Dog S7260 vacuum which comes stock with only the charcoal filter. I kept the charcoal filter in for almost a year before noticing it needed to be replaced. I'm aware the charcoal is pretty much only good for eliminating smells, however this filter does a good job at it as well. I can also tell it works much better at eliminating any dust being blown from the vacuum, as I don't feel as stuffy after.
I thought about buying the Filtrete generic filter, but read the online reviews in which several users had trouble with the fit of the generic filter, so I ordered the Miele model. That alone should make it worth the price.
This does what it is supposed to do. My vacuum was beginning to really smell during sweeping and now it is much better.
It's hard to write a review about an air filter. It installed easily and I love my Miele vacuum. There's great comfort in knowing that I have a HEPA filter in the vacuum preventing anything from being exhausted back out. So I'm happy with it.
Item is easy to put into vacuum, miele vacuum are awesome at not spitting dust, etc. back at you when vacuuming.
Answer: The white one is simply the newest model. They clean and last the same amount. The white one has a timer built into it to let you know when to replace.
