Shark vacuum filter finder: which filter fits your model?

Shark filters are sold by part number (XFF350, XFFV300, XFF500), and Amazon listings are sold by model number (NV352, HV301, NV501). The two rarely appear side by side. This page matches them using Shark's own parts pages. Find your model, and you have both the part and a replacement.

Step 1: find your model number

It's on the rating sticker, usually on the back of the vacuum body or near the dust cup. Shark model numbers are letters followed by digits: NV352, ZU503AMZ, HV322, IZ362H. The letters after the digits (C, Q, W, _26) are color or retailer versions. They normally share the same filters, but check your exact code in the full lists below.

Product links go to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Recommendations are chosen from what buyers already rate highest. The Amazon picks below are compatible kits: each listing names the Shark part it replaces. Shark sells the genuine parts on its own site (linked in each row).

The traps that send people the wrong box

Rocket isn't one filter. The HV300 series (XFFV300) and the HV320 DeluxePro series (XPMFK320) look alike and don't swap. Several listings for one explicitly exclude the other.
The HV320 family comes in two versions. Shark's own note on the 1080FTV320 kit says to check the date code on the prongs of the power-cord plug: 2818 or higher → XPMFK320. Lower codes take 1080FTV320. For HV380–HV384, Shark says a date code of 1617 or lower needs a different part than XPMFK320. On the filter itself, the version difference shows as a center hole in the pre-motor foam and felt. The Amazon set above is for the no-hole version.
Not every Pet model takes the HEPA. Shark lists NV181, NV250, ZU75, ZU81, ZU100 and ZU102 for the 1239FT60 foam & felt kit but not for the 1238FT60 HEPA filter. On those machines, match the HEPA by model on Shark's site before buying a set.
The cordless 162/362 series takes only the pre-motor kit here. Shark lists the 616FJ140 post-motor filter for the 140 series only, so an IZ362H owner shouldn't buy a 616FJ140 bundle.

How often to clean or replace them

Shark describes its foam and felt filters as rinseable and reusable. For the upright HEPA filters (XHF350 and 1238FT60), its parts pages say: "We recommend replacing the HEPA filter every 3 years." The rinse schedule is in your model's owner's guide. Rinse with water only, and let the filters dry completely before putting them back. The replacement listings above say to allow at least 24 hours. A damp felt filter in a running vacuum is how people end up with a musty smell.

Reusable doesn't mean permanent. Foam that stays grey after rinsing, felt that has hardened or torn, and suction that won't come back after a rinse all mean it's time for a fresh kit. A multi-set pack means the spare is already in the drawer while the rinsed set dries. For the rest of the house, the whole-home filter schedule covers HVAC, fridge, purifier and humidifier filters on one page.

Common questions

What filter does a Shark NV352 or NV360 take?

The XFF350 foam & felt kit and the XHF350 HEPA filter. The same parts fit the NV350, NV351, NV355, NV357, NV370, UV440, UV540 and ZU503AMZ.

What filter does a Shark Rocket HV301 or HV302 take?

The XFFV300 kit, which includes the pre-motor and post-motor foam and felt filters. It's not the HV320/HV322 DeluxePro filter, even though the vacuums look similar.

XFF350 vs XFFV300: what's the difference?

They fit different vacuums, and no model appears on both of Shark's parts lists. The XFF350 is the foam and felt kit for the Navigator Lift-Away (NV350 to NV391, UV440, UV540), and its HEPA filter is a separate part, the XHF350. The XFFV300 is the kit for the corded Rocket (HV290 to HV310, UV450, CS100 and CS110), with the pre-motor and post-motor foam and felt in one pack. Order by the model number on your vacuum's sticker, not by how the filter looks.

Are compatible Shark filters OK?

For foam and felt, the parts are simple and the high-volume compatible kits are rated in the thousands. What matters is that the listing names your Shark part number and your model. Some owners prefer genuine for the HEPA filter, and Shark sells every part above on its own site. Either way, match by model number, not by how the filter looks.

My model isn't on this page.

Search your exact model number on Shark's parts site, then note the part number, which is the code to search on Amazon. Shark reuses a filter across dozens of models, so once you know the part number, the rest is easy.
