Yes, it requires filters. One comes with the humidifier and the first one lasted about 6 months for me.

Mine has no filter. I use cat genie disposal system to control smells (works great BTW). Regardless of filter, this is by far the best litter box, for medium-big cat, or multiple cats. Hope it helps.

No it does not use a filter as far as I know. We have never used it with a filter but we are using it for a small indoor fountain.

Yes, it does need filters. I stopped using it because it did nothing to increase the humidity in an average size bedroom. The filter were a pain to deal with and too expensive in my opinion.

I have never used the humidifier option. I can tell you, its the very best heater I have ever owned.

Yes...and No. I do not remember whether I got a filter when I purchased our humidifier. What you need is a "combination" filter and wick". This is a block type filter which goes inside the unit, under the motor and fan. It hangs on a small lip on the inside of the back and goes down into the water pool at the bottom. Water is 'wicked' up into the filter and air is drawn thru the filter by the fan. This permits distribution of humidity into the room AND filters the air as the process works. You might consider purchasing a small humidity gauge to place in your home so that you can monitor and adjust. I purchase Best Air Humidi-Wick, model CB41 on line.

No it does not have a filter, a huge plus the way I see it. :) I've had 2 of these for over 2 years and have been great considering it's kind of an unknown brand. Super quiet and no issues with proper cleaning. Lagged longer than the Homedics brand I had previously.

I have the green one and it does have a filter. thought the price reasonable. I do have a complaint. Most of the time not a lot of mist comes out even on High. Only occasionally does it actually look like a High amount of mist is coming out. It hasn't really helped the dryness so unsure if it's working properly. This doesn't really address your question but thought you'd like to know.

No, I did not receive any filters - it runs on batteries. I would not recommend buying it. Spend a bit more and get a thermometer that will tell you an accurate temperature.

no....it did not have any filters except for the bottom under the power supply. So far it has done fine without any filters in the front two fans. A little build up in the screen but I just wipe it off.

There is no filter needed on this, and one of the original reason why I pick this model. However, buyer beware. The seller shipped us used and open item, and pass it of as new! Then the humidifier stop working less than 6 months of use! After a long time working with Bionaire, they came thru with warranty

I didn't find one---I did not like this humidifier--I would email the maker to answer this question.

No, there is not a filter on this model which I was hoping there would be one also. This little heater has many great features, but no filter. It also takes in the return air from the bottom of the unit so not sure how long it will be before it will need the blower cage cleaned. It is super quiet, the auto function works fantastic. I do recommend it.

This unit doesn't have any filters to bother with. It does have a small demineralization cartridge which can be purchased at the HoMedics webpage or Amazon. After the cartridge that came with the unit was used up, I didn't bother buying any. I don't notice any difference. I hope you like your HoMedics Cool Mist, I do! Another tip - every 7-10 days you'll want to clean the unit to get rid of the mold that builds up. I use a paint brush, an antibacterial spray cleaner and hot water.

No humidifier function at all. There may be a fan-only function if you turn the thermostat all the way down, but you would be much better off with a "real" fan or a large air purifier.

No, it has an adapter. I love this humidifier. It works well and is easy to clean

No this does not require a filter. Humidifiers without filters have an option for a filter (ball) in the reservoir/tank, but it's definitely not required for normal operation
