The air conditioner filters the air for mold and dust. Does this also filter the air as it collects the mosture?

No - there's no filter. These don't move the volume of air that an A/C does.

does not have an air filter as it is primarily designed to dehumidify air, which it does well. the amount of air released is less than what is taken in due to moisture removal. suggest you consider a separate air cleaner.

this unit is adequate for a small room only---don't get if you want it for a large room---get a unit for a large room. since it is a cheap unit, I hardly think it would filter air---I am sorry now that I ordered it...........

Yes it does. It uses two types of filter, one which is meant to be permanent, and one which is meant to be replaced periodically. It comes ready to go with both. In the past I simply vacuumed the replaceable filter between replacing it and that seemed to work pretty well also.

Yes. It circulates the air, and filters it, so it would help with some of your dust as well.

Yes, it has a small wire mesh filter in the front that pulls down, and the directions say to rinse it off every couple of weeks to insure proper air filtration, but I didn't do that yet because there isn't anything in the filter. Hope this helps you.

yes, it has a filter. Other reviews talk about this. Also, very noisy but really pumps out the mist.

No, but it does purifiy the air! I have one downstairs in the family room by the laundry area where the littery boxes are and one upstairs in the sunroom.

It is not a dust or particulate filter. It generates sanitizing hyper peroxides which reduce levels of viruses, bacteria and mold in the air handler, ductwork and on environmental surfaces. You still need air filtration. I use a whole house pleated air type filter in the return air plenum just before the air handler. The combination works great together.

Have not really clean yet. The air was drawn in from the bottom and thinking I can just vacuum it with when too much dusk was trapped. This unit does not really clean dust in air, but to filter air quality and smell.

With any filter or filter material some air is blocked as dust and the sort builds up, but for the most part air flows through the clean material freely.

Air passes through my filter for my AC and for my heating. Therefore, I wash my filter whenever my programmable thermostat tells me to do it.

I'm sure the hepa filter would pull out airborne mold but not sure about mildew. If you mean a mildew smell, I don't think so. Perhaps a dehumidifier would be a better choice.

More or less. I've noticed it collects some in the filters, but I think what it mostly does is blow it off the floor and walls out into circulation where it's filtered by your primary pump/filter.

Not so much a filter but it is more of a thin screen that slides out. The screen is easy to pull out and very easy to clean. It's a good air conditioner it works well.

It acts as a dust filter for the motor. I take it out periodically and shake out the accumulated dust.

It removed the mold from the air of my home. I did take it one step further and removed the air filters from my air ducts, turned off the heat and a/c, but made sure the fan was set to "on". I also used their Biocide 100 cleaning solution on as many surfaces as I could get to. It worked GREAT, and was a heck of a lot cheaper than those so-called mold eradication service people. I hope this helps!

No it does not. The fan is either running all the time or running when the a/c or furnace is on.

On my unit when the filter plugged it just restricted air flow as the air is drawn thru the filter. It seems like there is a different problem if its blowing dust out into the room such as something not seated properly.
