is there an "upgrade" model that has a permanent filter? So no need for using filters?

I use a permanent filter and love it, I don't notice sentiment at the bottom of the cup and what little there may be is countered by the oils that end up in your cup vs. the paper filter. This is my favorite coffee maker. I've had it for years and it still works great.

ROI using "permanent" filter is 4 years. If you're worried about the environment, manufacturing waste an pollution exceed that of disposable filters. Disposable filters perform better. No filter is permanent, so over the life of the product you'll keep buying metal filters.

There is a metal filter available which can be cleansed and reused. I don't recommend it - it allows small bits of grind to pass through into your cup.

Cheryl,The upgrade kit includes the rails so the new media filter remains in place.I hope this is of some help to you.

The unit itself does not have a filter. However, the unit accepts "pods" such as those of Senseo that don't require filters. These filters are also highly economic, as they have a very low cost

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

It comes with the filter when you buy it, but guess you could. I have yet to change it yet.

Comes with cleanable filter.... IMO a new one cost 50-75$...Buy a new one unless you have a tried and true cleaning method.

You get just 1 (one) special filter with this upgrade + the new brush. Nothing else.The brush makes cuts your Neato's noise in half at least btw.

No filter. Have to purchase a seperate in line filter. I bought a culigan that should last me about 8-9 months for around $20

Hi.The one I got had a filter and was on sale for about 18.00. Works great, so I got 3 others for my family. I should be on their payroll. LOL

Thank you for your question! A filter is not required for this system to operate properly.

mine has one of those gold screen filters but you could fit a standard paper filter in there if you wanted.if you're within driving distance of Oakland you can have mine. I don't use it anymore and i don't think it's worth boxing and selling.

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.

This unit does not include any filter, we have inline filters that can be purchased separately.

It has a small filter that comes with it. I replace it every so often. I use it just because it has it. I guess you wouldn't have to.

You replace the whole unit. No filter here! After using this for 6 months, I switched to the Aquasana AQ-4105 which filters more stuff out and does have replaceable filters (but they cost about $20 more than the unit listed here every six months)

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.
