I think I've said this here before, to much ridicule, but I buy big girl pantyhose at the dollar store. I cut the legs into about 10" lengths. If you stretch a piece over your filter, it'll keep the fine dust from clogging the accordion ridges. When the stocking gets covered, you can, without actually lifting the top of the vacuum totally off it's base, just use a stiff-bristled brush to knock off the clinging particles and you've got full suction again.
Hmmm?
Challenge!
Compose your own 4-sentence paragraph that includes the words:
pantyhose, filter, accordion, stiff-bristled brush, suction and clinging. That makes me almost almost wanna try to write another one myself.
