Miele SF-HA 50-1 HEPA AirClean Filter 12785390

The SF-HA 50-1 HEPA AirClean Filter (part# 12785390) is Miele’s genuine HEPA exhaust filter for Guard S1, M1 and L1, Complete C2 and C3, and Compact C1 and C2 canister vacuums. It is the last stage of filtration before air leaves the machine, so it decides how clean the air coming out of the vacuum is.

What the SF-HA 50-1 HEPA AirClean Filter Does

Miele rates the SF-HA 50 HEPA AirClean filter to catch 99.95% of viruses, bacteria and particles (HEPA class 13 per DIN EN 1822/2019), which makes it the filter to choose for allergy sufferers, asthma households and homes with pets. It drops into the exhaust filter compartment of the Guard, Complete C2/C3 and Compact canisters with no tools, and it replaces whichever exhaust filter your machine came with — so it is also the upgrade path for Guard and Complete models that ship with a standard or Active AirClean filter.

When to Replace the SF-HA 50-1 HEPA AirClean Filter

Miele recommends changing the HEPA AirClean filter about once a year with normal household use. This single filter has no TimeStrip indicator, so mark the date when you install it. A filter that is overdue shows up as a stale or dusty smell from the exhaust, more visible dust settling after vacuuming, and a filter face that has turned grey.

This is the single filter. If you vacuum a lot or want a spare on the shelf, the two-pack (SF-HA 50-2) costs less per filter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the SF-HA 50-1 fit my Guard L1 or Guard M1?

Yes. The SF-HA 50-1 HEPA AirClean filter (part# 12785390) fits every Guard S1, M1 and L1 canister, plus the Complete C2 and C3 and Compact C1 and C2. It is not the right filter for the Classic C1 — that machine uses the SF-HA 30.

How often should I replace the SF-HA 50-1 HEPA filter?

Miele recommends about once a year with normal use. Homes with pets or heavy daily vacuuming may want to change it sooner.

Can I put a HEPA filter in a Guard that came with an AirClean filter?

Yes. The SF-HA 50-1 is a direct replacement for the standard, Super AirClean, Active AirClean and AirClean Plus exhaust filters in Guard, Complete C2/C3 and Compact canisters.
