Where the lists differ

No code appears only on XFF500. No code appears only on XHF500. A missing code is not proof of incompatibility; ask Shark if your full suffix is absent.

Which filter do you need?

  1. Read the complete machine model label, including the suffix.
  2. Use the manual to identify whether the missing part is foam/felt before the motor or the HEPA exhaust cartridge.
  3. Open the matching manufacturer product page and verify the number and code again before ordering.
A model match is part-specific

A code on one filter page does not transfer fit to the other filter, a different housing, or another series.
