The only difference between eureka 96H and 96HX is that the 96HX comes with an additional filter, that means the 96HX comes with 2 filters while the 96H comes with 1 filter. These 2 models use the STK Dust Cup Filter 61544A which is priced at $4.69 on eureka.com. Thus, the 96HX is a bit more expensive than the 96H. Eureka recommend to replace the filter every 6 – 12 month. If you need the extra filter, you can buy the 96HX. Otherwise, buy the 96H instead. But we suggest you to check the prices before buying to get a better deal.
