The pre-filter is washable right? Then there's the Hepa permanent filter behind it that cannot be removed, correct?

According to kaz.com which is the manufacturer the filter should be vacuumed not washed."The permanent HEPA filters are easy to clean - simply vacuum and replace back into the unit. "http://www.kaz.com/kaz/air-purifiers/products/honeywell-tower-air-purifier-hht-090/

When I washed mine, it kinda fell apart. Now I am trying to figure out how to find new filters. Otherwise, the machine is WONDERFUL. I keep it going non stop in my office area. It's been two years, with no problems except my throwing the filter in the washing machine! Don't do that! Wash by hand.

Well it's more like you can blow the filter out with compressed air or vaccum them out. There is two of them. As far as that non removable Hepa filter, there is a Hepa button, but I havent taken it apart to check it out . Hope this helps

No. DO NOT wash these filters. They can be vacuumed or air blasted out doors.

No, it does not have any removable, washable filter. I use a Q-tip type thing to remove dust as needed, once or twice a year.

The pre-filter foam can be cleaned. The paper main filter element must be replaced.

I would think you could wash it. There was enough pre-filter to make two anyways. So could just the other one while letting one dry. I usually just blow off the filter with an air hose so if you have access to that it works great. I do that to all my filters, like the vacuum, dust buster, window units, and then this air purifier. The deal is keeping the prefilter clean to help preserve the life of the main filter.

The filter is in the upper section of the vacuum. It is removable and washable so that it is reusable. I love this vacuum.

No. Sorry, they say under normal conditions, you should replace the pre-filter every three months, and the HEPA filter annually.

The carbon pre-filter and a Hepafilter come with the purifier. When I run the machine at high speed 24/7, I vacuum the carbon filter once a week, the hepa filter has stayed clean and I've never vacuumed or replaced it

The filter can be vacuumed, not washed. Eventually. the filter will need replacement, but not for a while.

I've owned this system for many years and was led to believe that the prefilter was not washable. So, I buy new ones when I think it's ready.Gary

Yes, one pre-filter and the HEPA filter. You will want to buy some pre-filters with your order. When your machine shows it needs changing you can either vacuum it or change it out. I have an older machine and have yet to need to change the HEPA filter.

Yes, the pre-filter needs to be replaced every month or two. The HEPA filter material is inexpensive and it takes just a moment clip the fabric and insert it into the air cleaner.

I've had my purifier a few months now. I've vacuumed the pre filter off several times, and it my opinion, it could be gently washed if necessary and will last a long time. I love this purifier!

Your HEPA filter will never look as dirty as your premax since the premax is filtering out all the larger particles of dirt. The HEPA will plug up with such small particles that you won't be able to see the dirt like you do with the Premax. I always change my HEPA when it tells me to.

you can only remove the back. you can remove the back to change the filter and wash the pre-filter.just making sure -- the front is the part that is grayish blue and the back is the part that is just plain gray. The front doesn't open as far as I know.

I'm pretty sure the pre-filter and hepa filter are together. The pre-filter is at the front and the hepa is at the back.

Nope. From the vacuum manual: "The filter CANNOT be washed as it will lose its dust trapping ability." It doesn't look like it would survive the washing.
