How often do the filters have to be replaced?

I bought two units six months ago and both are in high dust and dander areas (next to litter boxes in a house of four cats) and I have not had to replace the filters yet. Great design and quiet as well.

I have two units. In high traffic area near my kitchen, it was about a 9 months, so I got the larger 5500 unit for here. In my bedroom, it has been about 18 months, and it is still good.

I would say it depends on the conditions at your home. We live up in the mountains where it is very dusty, so we check it at least once a month. We'll change it based on the amount of dust on the filter paper. We can generally go a couple of months before having to change it out.

Usually every 6 months or so depending on usage. The machine will tell you when the filter needs changing

When I bought the system it said on the box that for a family of 4 the filter should last about 1 year or something like that - now depending also of usage. I would at least change it once a year even twice in fact as I got more filters with my last order.

I replace mine every three of four months. Could go longer, but we have a central well in our neighborhood and often get sediment in the lines that has to be flushed out (causing my filter to clog). Generally, activated charcoal filters should last 4-5 months.

That's about it... The one that came with the cleaner lasted about that long as well.. After average use of once a week and occasional cleaning of the filter, I replace them in 10-12 months. If you have pets, more often probably!!

Replacement filters may be purchased direct from the manufacturer. Honestly we only need to replace them once a year as I clean the machine once a month with a vacuum/ brush and microfiber cloth. We've all had our filters (2-3 in each housed) for 4-5 years. I just bought a new one for another bedroom. Excellent air purifiers.

Yes, the filter does need to be replaced, however, not often.Order filters through DeLonghi. I have not need to replace mine yet and I've used the machine approximately 10 times.

We have used it daily since January. About 60 days. We have not had to replace any parts. Two extra filters were included with original box. We do clean the filter with the included brush after each use

Naturally, it depends on what you put into the trash receptacle as to how bad the odor is or how bad it will get. We replace our filters about every 3 months and get along real well the odor control.

I have had mine for a little over a year with no wear and tear. I wouldn't be surprised if the filter lasts for another 2 years. I put it through its paces, using it every other day for a few mins and for extended periods while cleaning once a month.

I have city water so I replace mine every 60 days as recommended. If you have whole house water filtering, then every 90 to 120 days. It does make a difference .

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.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. The replacement Frequency depends on usage. In my case, usage is moderate, less than 12 hours per week, so I expect the filter will last several years. The "cleaner" mechanism works very well to remove the more coarse grain dust, but the very fine dust will get trapped in the filter and build up over time. I am very pleased with the performance of this unit. I added a third party remote to complete the configuration.

The filters can initially be vacuumed, but at some point they do need to be replaced. We have been quite satisfied with the performance of our units. When one (we have five units) failed, the unit was replaced without a problem.
