Are the filters re-usable?

I clean them with my shop-vac, making sure to only vacuum them from the side that the dust enters.

They don't appear to be. They aren't made in a way to suggest that cleaning might be possible.

I suspect that Trend would say NO; however, I have been cleaning mine by shaking or beating the outside dust off and using compresses air to assist from the inside of the filter.So far it seems to be working for me. I have extra filters on hand for the time when I consider the current filters too dirty or worn. You can also use the airflow meter to evaluate the state of the filters.

Yes use a vacume cleaner depends on how much use . May be replace once a year.

yes I use a vacuum cleaner & suck all the dust back out, I do this after each use, seems to work for me!

No, they are reusable. However, they will need to be thoroughly cleansed after each use (salt build up and grime).

I've only had mine for 2months..I'm not sure,but other reviewers have said they have vacuumed or lightly brushed the filter to clean.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

The filters are usually not white when I change them. But I change them about once a year, based on amount of use.

Don't know about that brand reusable filter but you should be able to. I used a standard reusable filter on the one I had.

Hi. From what I could gather from the instruction, the filter screen is a rinse and reuse item. No replacement necessary. I imagine if you used it so much that you just totally wore it out, you would just replace the while thing. Otherwise, just rinse, it seems.

No. I haven't used mine for over a year. I can't find replacement filters. Where do you get your filters?

I have only washed and reused this particular filter twice. However, the filter was not in "poor condition" when I threw it out. You could potentially get more than 2 uses out of it.

Sorry, I don't know the context of the question. I had no issues with the filters, mount or packaging. Nothing was damaged or appeared used.

Dear Sharon, When I did locate the filters last year, I found that they cost almost as much as a new unit, so I bought a new one. Really hard to throw away something that works; built in obsolescence to the max. And I suppose I will do it again next year.

I ended up having the adapter from previous filters and it worked with these. Just recycle them and you will be fine.

YES! We used our first one for almost a year before switching to a new one! We only used filtered water and clean it every couple months. Of course you clean the filters every time you use it.

Hi Janet. This unit does not have filters that need to be replaced. Thanks.

Personally I havnt had to change the filters as of yet and my machines run 24/7. I'm figuring every few months or so. The machines do come with replacement filters:)

The filter is washable and reusable, if you need to replace the filter (which you shouldn't have to for at least a year), you can buy them off of the dirt devil website for a decent price.

No. You do have about 3 filters that get replaced at various times. They are not washable. A display screen on the top will indicate which filter needs to be replaced. We have had ours about 2.5 years and I have replaced one filter at about $50 and a second filter is needed at a cost of $150+
