Looking for Shop-Vac filter recommendations for sawdust.
Do you prefer washable/reusable or disposable? Are the Shop-Vac brand filters worth the extra money?

I keep one of the pleated filters on my vac and I also use the bags. Cleaning the filter is a pain and is a messy process which is avoided with the bag. If you make a cyclone or Thein baffle before the vac the bags will last a good while before they fill up
I never used a bag in a shop vac until a few years ago and my life was instantly changed. I’ve only changed my filter once or twice in that time, and none of the nonsense of trying to whack/wash the dust out of it to keep it alive. Suction stays super strong.
For saw dust, I would think the filter itself is not a huge concern and that the two most beneficial things would be a cyclone and a bag in the shop vac.
