I have an Elitech Handy vacuum model EN097100 (hand held). The Hepa filter has small nodules that allow it to be fitted into the housing in the dust container. Two out of three of these nodules have broken of so I can no longer twist it into place so I cant use the vacuum at all. Can anyone help with this problem or tell me where I can get a replacement. Thanks
I had exactly the same problem ! 2 of the 'nodules' were inside the box when delivered, and having accidently disposed of the invoice, I had no means of retuning the item. Then I had a brainwave ! I used a microwave dish lid. I turned the filter cylinder upside down and drew round it onto the lid, allowing for 3 small 'nodules'. Then, (with sharp scissors) I cut round the shape and cut a hole in the middle to accomodate the hole in the filter. I filed the jagged cut edges (with a nail file!) Then cleared the top of the filter from any rubberised debris. Finally, I superglued my makeshift top to the filter top - and it worked. It took me about 2 hours and I dont know how long it will last, but at least I didn't have to throw away a brand new vacuum. I would NEVER buy Elitech again though!!!!!!
