Ther are probably different options, but I've not found them. Even at $90, getting the full set of filters is only a quarter a day. I just replaced mine after about a year, and the unit is working a lot more efficiently. I did find that if you run a hand vac over the odor sensor, it works better too.

Has anyone found the answer? I'm having the same problem and sure hope they aren't discontinuing this great item. I bought mine at Target about a year ago and today went to buy the replacement filters and they no longer sell the units. I haven't been able to find out what filters are compatible with the #04530F.

Hi, the exact same thing happened to me. The good news is that Honeywell gives a 3 year warranty on these units. They contract out to a company at www.kaz.com. If you go to their site you can request to have the unit returned for repair or replacement. You will have to pay for shipping to them but, they will likely send you a brand new replacement and they pay for that shipping. FYI they will ask for proof of purchase so if you still have your ebay confirmations (as I did) you're doing ok. Good luck!

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

Apparently, the products are absolutely identical. Honeywell no longer advertises the filter as "permanent" but it is exactly the same filter in the N and S series.Sorry to explode our bubbles... See here:http://www.iallergy.com/product143/product_info.html

I am at least as confused as you are. The absence of any product support is very frustrating, I bought two units last year and vacuum at least twice a month. The units supposedly have a "change filter" sensor, but who knows? I have found that Amazon products seem attractive on price, but at the cost of little if any product support.

Hi Sir, I checked the model of my unit and searched based on that for the filter. if you check the model number for the unit you have it should give you the info for the filter you need. I may still have the box at home and if so I can post that for you if that will help.

I went back to the Amazon page where I bought the original unit; underneath it, lower on the page, I found this:Hamilton Beach 04230FS True Air Replacement Filter, 3-Pack.

Honestly, there might not be one, at least through the manufacturer. This is Honeywell's 'PRO INSTALL' models. These are not warranted unless a pro installs them as far as I know.

I ordered this replacement and it works http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B8URLI/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have read that you are supposed to replace the filter 1xper year, but who knows what kind of usage they are basing that off of. I replaced mine after only 4 or 5 months (when I started noticing a considerable difference), but I hadn't realized until afterward that you are supposed to reverse the filter every 30 days. I am hoping if I do that it will last at least a few more months this time.
