What is this filter that the customers say must be cleaned?

It may be the screen that catches debris, and glass etc. If that's what they are referring to it is small and easy to remove and rinse.

I bought this for a friend and don't remember a filter. Sorry I cannot be more informative.

It is a cloth filter which can be cleaned manually. It can therefore last for years. Cleaning it manually takes about 5 minutes and is messy and dusty.

Clean the filter after each use, or when the Neato tells you to. As for replacing the filter, I purchased a set of spares and rotate the use of them, allowing me to always have a clean, dry filter in case my little "dumbot" fills up before finishing the job.

I've had the same filter for years. I clean it with an old toothbrush and knocking it against something (outside). I didn't know I could wash it, till I came here to see about a new filter and saw all the comments about washing them.

It would seem that only the seller can say what is the definition or description of "very good" vs. "like new". If I were buying this filter, I would ask the seller to describe its condition and comment on anything that could affect its performance, e.g, scratches, smuges, glass surface imprefections or rotation of the polizering outer filter.

of course filters need to be replaced. try reading the description of item before asking such rediculous questions.

You press open on top and remove the filters for cleaning (see cleaning instructions). When placing the filters back, the word "Front" faces you. While the filters are out, I use a damp cloth and carefully wipe the inside--be aware there is a wire inside. Gentle cleaning is key.

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

It all depends on how dusty/dirty of an environment you're working in. A dirtier job like auto body or drywall sanding will provide a shorter life cycle for this filter. Determining whether the filter needs replacing is a subjective thing based on observation and how contaminated the filter has become with the job task.

Cleaning he filter is more than just running water through it. The way I do it is I fold 3 or 4 paper towels along side the sink and I put dish washing soap on the filter and scrub with my hands. After rinsing the soap from the filter I bang the filter hard against the towels to see if anything is left in the filter and there always is. Repeat the process until the is no more junk coming out of the filter. This will keep the water clear and clean.

I've only been using this unit for a week. The Owner's Manual recommends throwing away the filter as part of the "End-of-season" care instructions. It also includes weekly cleaning instructions and filter cleaning instructions in case the filter is clogged by hard water or mineral deposits.

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

Sorry, we have not put this vacuum in service yet. Don't know what filter you will need.

There are two filters. The first filter is a thin mesh that you could vacuum off and then wash by hand. I run my unit 24/7 and the mesh filter needs changing several times a year. The second filter is a HEPA filter and it's not washable. I've changed it once after one year of use and these filters are not cheap.
