Where is the filter? The top of my unit touches the ceiling, so the filter can't be located at the top. Thanks

It is right behind the grates where the air comes out. You drop down the grate. The filter is right there. You wash it and put it back, or you can vacuum it from the front without removing the grate.

It's at the front underneath the controls and vents. You need to pull up and out.

Yes there is a very large filter in the center of the unit. It needs to be changed periodically. The filter will turn brown and get stiff. There's an indicator light when the filter needs to be changed. I had unit a humidifier without a unit and it left a white film over my furniture and floor. I got rid of that one!

Mount it above head height if possible. It is best to mount it 8 to 9 feet above the floor. I mounted mine where I generally generate the most dust. The outlet air blows across this area. The back must be accessible to change the filter.

I actually returned this one and got the other one. I didnt like it but it is complete. Clean the filter out weekly. Hope this helps.

There is no filter. It is an atomizer which sprays fine vapor mist upward into the air which evaporates quickly. Actually has no actual user-accessible moving parts. Ideal for a room or small apartment, not for a home (1,250 square feet or more).

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

1. You can set the filter on the floor and set the fan on top of the filter. Since the fan is sucking through the filter it will stay securely in place.2. Use 3-4 self drilling screws and attach the fan to the filter through the flange. This was the method I used and it worked great.

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

It moves! I'm using the tower in the living room of a 1-bedroom apt. It circulates throughout on med speed. The filter is HEPA-TYPE, not strict HEPA. This basically means it filters @ 3 microns rather than the smaller @ 1 micron that a HEPA will catch (or some filtering sizes like that).

Remove the clear cylinder from the vacuum /once removed it is very clear where this filter goes, it set right on a pedestal the size of the larger end of the new filter.

Open the top, remove the motor/fan unit and water containers. You now have an empty box. On the inside back of this box is a ridge on which you hang the filter. The filter also has a ridge to attach to the back so there is only one way to put it in. Replace the internal parts and you are good to go.

There is a fan in the unit. If you want to use a filter, it would have to be custom made, and attached to the backside of the unit.

Yes, the filter goes under the sink. The only thing visible on your counter top/sink is what you see in the picture.

There is a cover that slides over the filter and holds it in place. It is part of the vacuum (does not come with the filter). Is your cover missing?

The air filter is on the top. If you are getting a clean the filter error code and the filter looks clean then yo might have the same problem I and many other owners of this product have had.

No, the unit doesn't have a filter. I have been thinking of getting some hepa filter paper and putting it on the fan outlet for better cleaning actually.
