It has two filters and they are effective to trap pet hair, dirt in the first filter and minute particles in the inner filter...please refer to website for details of the filters..I used 1 air purifier for about 150 sq ft...I think you might need 2 purifiers for your space...please check with Oreck...I love these purifiers...made my house air smell fresh and cool like mountain air...

I haven't gone back to look at the manual,however I've purchased a lot of systems and I can say I like this one the best the fact that it has a silent mode is really nice, I like sleeping in complete darkness and all lights can be turned off except for the tiny light above the silent button so I just place an envelope over it at night All that being sad I would recommend this model to anyone

There are 3 filters. A foam pres filter, a middle filter that claims it breaks up VOCs and a HEPA filter. It works well for us.

This is an air purifier for a 250 sq, ft. room. It is not a carbon filter. This is perfect for people with allergies etc.

I now own 2. It has a carbon filter but the main filter unit is a great hepa filter. Removes smoke and hous hold odors great. Have had in in a sick room and it was great in there as well.

Hi. Do you mean the outer white pre filter? If so, I believe it's just made out of felt. The inside carbon can't be replaced. It should work for about a year before needing to be replaced.

Yes it is but not like your carbon experience fears. The ONLY issue is the dust it accumulates and the hand grenade care you must take (take it outside) to keep the dust from "shedding" when you change it. I like the filtering it does and it's obvious!

I have two units. I use them in two separate bedrooms. Occasionally I put both in open concept living area. The air in the rooms has a much fresher, cleaner and cooler feel to it. (Open concept area about 1000 sq ft)

As I remember the A Plus Filter says it uses a better type of carbon based molecule to trap odors. I have no way of knowing if it is better. But the air is fresh in the basement. Is it fresher than before? Can't tell without some quantitative guidelines and measurements. For me it was "chicken soup": couldn't be any worse than the plain carbon filter and might be better.

It comes with one foam, one biomax, and one carbon. These three components are the filter. I change out the carbon every month or so. The foam may need cleaning after a while, and the biomax shouldn't need to be replaced for several months unless you want to. Is this what you mean by filter?

its reusable filter wash it off with water, if you have it running 24/7 i would check it once a month with your HVAC filter as it can get full of dust and kill the unit faster.

I don't know but it is definitely less than the bag type filter - the air is cleaner though. I use it for my wood working hobby shop and find more than adequate operating one machine at a time on a medium size duct system. Hope this helps -Don

There is not a lot of carbon in the filter cartridge but it is very fine. I rinsed mine only because I always have done it, buy it is better to rinse away the carbon dust. In other words, it takes seconds, yes.

Yes, but at $20 it sounds expensive. I have a place under a credenza which my ROOMBA just loves to get trapped, so when I changed the carbon pre-filter on my air purifier, I vacuumed it off and placed it , darkest side up, in the aforementioned hiding place...works like a charm...and cheap.

I don't remember. i know when i was researching there was more than one layer in the explanation picture on their web site . . . so at least two typse of filtering. i think it is partical & carbon at the least, but i am not sure. i am over due for a replacement filter - it lasted quite a while. i am not unhappy with this persay, but i like the taste of the water from the piter i used to keep in the fridge better.

It comes with "permanent HEPA Filter" which means you do not need to replace it only the carbon pre-filter needs to be replaced. I have used similar Honeywell units for over 5 years with the same filter. I just blow it out with a compressor or vacuum it once a year. One of the main reasons I bought this model was for the permanent filter.

It comes with a HEPA filter and a charcoal pre-filter. I would suggest buying a pack of replacement charcoal pre-filters at the time of purchase because they get used up every three months or so. I think that they reccommend it for use in rooms that are 168 square feet (12 by 14 feet). I use it in a larger room, and I think that it does accomplish something (I see less floaties, smell less kitchen odors), but its not as effective as the unit I run in my bedroom, which is a smaller area. If you have serious allergies and this is the solution I would buy a unit that is suggested to run in the size room that you have. If you're a mild allergy sufferer, then it may do well enough for you in a larger room. It comes with a HEPA filter and a charcoal pre-filter.

In my opinion yes. The filter is solid carbon. I can't image any other filter at this price that can outperform it.

I have used the purifier 24/7 for 6 months and am very satisfied. Although i haven't paid any attention to the energy consumption, I would think it fairly normal for a small appliance.

The filter is mine is tight enough to stay in place. I would suggest getting an inexpensive furnace/air conditioner filter, cut the filter material to form a pre- filter in front of the carbon filter. Make it long enough to loop over the top (and perhaps bottom). I did this but didn't have to loop it around, just taping it in place. In this way the expensive filters will last longer, since large size particles ( &gt; 5 Microns) are caught first.

I have another Holmes and bought this one for a 2nd room... I only change the HEPA filters maybe 1ce a year, but I vacuum the Carbon filter weekly and replace them every quarter or 6 months.
