does a hepa filter come with the vacuum when you buy one? and if not and you need to order one or more, can you order them from Bisell.ca? can you let me know the exact name and type of filter for future filter changes. Thanks so much for your help!

Sorry for the belated response. Yes, the vacuum comes with a "HEPA Media Filter." The entire filter assembly replacement can be ordered from Bissell. Hope u bought one of these vacs. They're excellent for small jobs, or when u don't want to drag out something bigger. The cord is long enough for most jobs. Jan

As i am interested in this product and would hate to buy something that i can't get replacements for. I do notice that hoover has them listed on their website and doesn't show on back order or out of stock:http://hoover.com/parts/details/ah60010/air-purifier-filters-hepa-pre-filter/

Thank you S.A. Friedman, Nicole and E. Bates. I appreciate learning from owners' experience. I live in a remote outpost, a northern fishing village, and the availability of bags mail-order affects my choice of vacuum. The permanent cloth bag sounds good for big jobs (I have two dogs). I'd like to order everything at once, and your information is extremely helpful. Kind regards, tkf

According to the information on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Miele-S7210-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner/dp/B003YIXK2A?ref_=pe_527950_33920250) a HEPA filter is optional. So I'm assuming that means you can add one. I have allergies, and my old vacuum really stirred up the dust. The Twist not only does a great job of vacuuming, it does not leave dust behind. So I have not bothered to add a HEPA filter.

It comes with a HEPA filter. This is the filter it uses: http://www.amazon.com/BISSELL-Hand-Media-Filter-97D5/dp/B004152MH4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378149811&sr=8-1&keywords=bissell+pet+eraser+filter. So far, it's been very easy to just clean off. I suppose it will last a couple of years before I need to replace it.

I went to Honeywell, WalMart and Amazon and searched all of them. I have a small one and wanted another like it for another room, but they no longer made it, so I opt for a little bigger one which I am glad I did. Watch they are on sale quite frequently. I think I paid $129.00 or so for the bigger one and it is wonderful. Depends what you want it for. They both have changeable filters on them and a 5 year HEPA filter.

I think that is referring to filters for the vacuum cleaner. I have the model that doesn't come with a vac (use my own), there is no filter (but my vac has one).

The filter requirements is a bit confusing. Three HEPA filters and three carbon filters are required for the larger room model # HAP756-U which I recently purchased and currently using. (Two of both the HEPA and carbon filters are required for the smaller room unit HAP726) Three true HEPA filters were included with the my unit and already installed (there are no discernible marking on the installed filters I can detect indicating a filter model number). However, there were no carbon filters installed or included with my purchased unit but I did purchase a pack of 4 which I installed when I set up my unit. I purchased a package of 2 Holmes make HEPA replacement filters (HAPF600D - B Filters) at the same time. Had I researched this better, I would have purchased the same box of 2 filters, plus 1 lone filter (same model #) since the unit requires that all three filter be changed when the red light indicates the filters be replaced. I am not aware of any distinction between an HAPF600 and an HAPF600D filter and I couldn't find this out on the Holmes website, either. Perhaps (but not sure) the "D" version removes either different allergens or more allergens from the air. As far as the "B" designation, I believe this identifies these as HEPA filters versus the "C" designation applied to the carbon filters.

The Hepa filter is a separate part from the dust bag. The link below will show you what one looks like. This may or may not be the correct Hepa filter for your model vacuum cleaner. There are two filters that come in the box with the dust bags. One is a motor filter to keep dust from getting into the motor and damaging it. The other filter is a clean air filter that goes in the same compartment as a Hepa filter. You use either the thin clean air filter or the Hepa filter, but not both at the same time. It's one or the other. The clean air filter comes free with the dust bags. If you want a Hepa filter you have to purchase it separately and put it in the compartment that you will remove the thin clean air filter from. I believe you have to remove the plastic grill that holds the clean air filter in place before you snap in a Hepa filter which doesn't need anything to hold it in place because it is substantially thicker than a clean air filter. http://www.amazon.com/MIELE-4854915-Replacement-HEPA-Filter/dp/B0007UPZZ8/ref=sr_1_3?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1388168102&sr=1-3&keywords=miele+hepa+filter

The vacuum, by default, comes with the nano cartridges. You can replace them with the optional HEPA filters. Filter bags are recommended if you're dealing with dusty stuff and to save on the lifetime of the filters. The HEPA filters are >$100; so something to think about.

No, it has a synthetic fiber pad that sits underneath the bag chamber and that's it, if you want hepa filtering, look for a vacuum that states it clearly in the description, also I found the bags do not seal adequately and as such a lot of dust goes past the bag opening and gets sort of trapped in the synthetic mesh pad I described earlier.

I've had my vacuum for a number of years. I think it came with an extra filter. With all the dirt and dog hair that I pick up, it just kind of got clogged, even after I washed it. But I did use my filters for a pretty long time. So, I thought it was time to replace them with clean filters, but...well, you read my review, right? You should be able to use yours for quite a while.

I haven't had to get a new filter but if you go online to Hamilton Beach True Air you might find a replacement filter there.Mine has a permanent filter. I wipe the filter down each week with a dust collector wipe or you can use the brush attachment on your vacuum.I highly recommend this filter. I have 2 and plan on ordering a 3rd one later this week.

There are replacement filters available. I purchased through Amazon. The filter may also be rinsed , you need to allow it to dry before use. I love this vacuum, my only complaint is that the dirt cup is small, but overall I love this vacuum.
