How does this filter? Is it a filter that needs to be purchased and replaced? How often does the filter need to be cleaned or replaced?

As far as I can tell, the filter is permanent. I make sure to clean the screen thoroughly after use. You can soak the whole pan overnight in soapy water; that also works. FYI: the reservoir lid comes off and the complete reservoir can be cleaned, too.

I have used mine several times & I only have to wash the basin with soap & water. I use a brush to wash around the filter & it comes out very clean . Hope this helps.

It has a wire mesh strainer much like a tea strainer with a spring controlled plunger that when hot expands and keeps the oil from draining out. It does a great job over night with very little oder. Just be patient.

It filters large pieces of debris out. The filter is not an oil filter as in a engine oil filter. It's a macro filter. No filter needs to be purchased that I know of.

No filter to replace. Its a metal strainer type filter in the bottom of the fryer. It simply keeps chunks from making it to the saved oil reservoir.

It has a built in strainer type filter on the bitten of the pan and after use and the oil has cooled down it will drain onto the strobe pan on the bottom after it is all drained you will notice what Is left are crumbs and what not just pull out the pan and wash well.there is no need for replacing

I have not had to replace the filter. I use a dust pan brush to clean the filter. There apparently is no washable replacement filter available for this particular filter, at least not yet.

I am sure at some point the filter will need to be replaced, I have had my dust collector for about 18 months and it still works great. I clean the filter nearly every day (crank the handle that is attached to the top of the unit). I have been a little afraid to look at the replacement cost (putting my head in the sand so to speak). I looked before I bought the unit and I remember it was expensive but now after 18 months I am not sure I would want to live without the unit so the price of the filter has become a necessary expense when the time comes. PS; as well as the dust collector works you will also need an air filtration unit to clean up the dust you breathe. My shop is much cleaner since I added the air filtration machine (I used to have a fine layer of dust on everything) and I am sure my lungs are happier. I would like to tell you that the dust collector is more important than the air filtration unit but to be honest the need is to have both machines is equal. Sorry to attack your pocket book but you really do need both units.

You should clean the filter once /Month in covered pool. Probably every two years it will need replacement

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 find that changing that filter every 12 to 18 mos. is plenty to keep the water clean and fresh. As others have said, the company says annually, but they are making money more often that way. The filter I bought here is exactly the same except it has a lower price. What is not to love about that? (put masking tape on your filter and put the date your new one should be installed right on the filter casing.)

I've had mine for two years & haven't replaced the filter yet. So, I don't know. It depends on how much you use it I guess.

It comes with one filter, but then you need to purchase a new filter, maybe every few months or so.It comes with a schedule for when you should replace them. They are not expensive.

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.

I have only used it for about 6 weeks. Every other week I took out the filter and put it in a diluted vinegar solution over night. I hope that the filter will be cleaned and lasts a little longer.

The filter will accumulate dirt just like a normal filter. Each month I check it and clean it, wash it off with a garden hose. Actually whether it needs it or not but it is usually dirty and it cost me nothing. Bye.

In my opinion the filter does get dirty fairly quickly...I try to use a brush and get most of the stuff off of it myself rather than replacing every couple months.

So far I have not had to buy a filter for it. The filter is very easy to clean. When the filter/vacuum is too full of dust it won't suck up very much. SO make sure to wash it out regularly

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

It comes with a filter. You will have to replace it after a long period of use, but the cost is minimal.

It comes with a filter. But it's the kind that you wash. You shouldn't need to replace the filter unless it breaks for some reason.

I assume your asking if the filter needed to be replaced and the answer is no. That said, after several weeks of continuous operation there was more dust on the outside of the unit than the filter. I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.
