For this particular model, you should never need to replace the filter. However, you will need to clean the filter (either by vacuuming or washing with water) once every 4-6 months. In other words, 2 or 3 times a year.It will certainly NOT work for 220/240V.

This model is only UL marked (no CE) and only shows a 120VAC rating. So I doubt that it would handle 220VAC.

On our Maytag, there is a "Replace Filter" light that changes from Green to red. The packaging says says change every 6 months, but ours usually lasts a year on average before it turns red. I believe it is calculated on the number of gallons that passes through the filter. We are a house hold of 2 people and 2 dogs. It has average a year of usage consistently for 7 years. Now if you had a house hold of 4-5 people, it may last a shorter period. But I do believe it is based on the number of gallons that passes through the filter that triggers the change filter indicator.

I've been testing my new Botvac80 the past couple days. On the first few cleaning runs the dust bin fills up and I have to take it out and clean it (very quick and easy) plus clean the filter and possibly the brush (takes 5min or less) Shouldn't be expensive to maintain if the filter lasts several months with regular cleaning, but only time will tell. Right now extra filters are not in stock and it might be quite sometime before the price comes down on them too. Hopefully the brush and battery will last a long time too and not need expensive replacement, but that too only time will tell.

I returned my alen A350 after about a week of use because of the high noise level. I recall reading that filter change varies according to use and conditions. Every 6 to 12 months is the norm.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

hey sherry how are you I'm glad I can help you I have had this product for almost a year and it is so great for the value you will need to replace filters 1 is the HEPA filter that's a yearly replacement the carbon filter once every 3 months or depending on how much you use it but I have to say it's quiet and very effective at cleaning the air. I'm just confused on what the V means I'll have to read other posts but again for the value this was a very good one

Daniel. weve got 3 of them in our house and I can honestly say our electric bill hasnt changed significantly. What doesnt seem right is the filters are so darn expensive than if your house has allot floating in the air the filters dont last 3 months.

My home is 42 years old. I live in a warm climate year round, so twice a year is all I need to keep the filter clean. I only use my A/C when the indoor temp is above 80, and the heater when the indoor temp is below 60, so my HVAC system does not get a lot of use.

The big question is: Now that we have burnt out something inside the main unit, can we replace this unit with one that has been made for 240V? If anyone knows where we can source the main body of the machine with a 240V rating, please let me know. Thanks

unit runs on 110v. but my filter had a std plug for the receptacle. Code in Mass. has a twist and lock single plug so i had to use my old elec. whip to plug in. If your receptacle is a std GFI ...... you'll be go to go. Pump is very strong with only 1 speed. My old pump had 2 speeds , low-high, which was great to keep it clean using lower energy.

I have a slightly different model that uses the same filter. This filter is nearly the size of the unit, so you only use one. I replace mine every few years. There is also 1" outer filter that wraps around this inner filter that is made of a soft mesh-like fabric material.

I've owned a unit about two years. I replaced the filter after year 1 and just replaced it the second time. The unit seemed to work OK, but the filter does get a little "grungy". I'd say replace at least once a year (I only run the unit during the winter and early Spring months-November to April)

Mine works fine! I probably will buy another one soon. I Think you have to use this filter in order to work properly.

I have had this particular unit since this summer. It has been consistent and reliable in keeping a constant humidity. However, periodically the "dirty filter" light will come on, so I will then clean it. I am not sure if the filter is not cleaned for an extended time, if it will shut=off?

This filter is intended to be changed every 12 to 24 months. It is recommended that the average household change it every 12 months for optimal performance and 18 months for optimal value.
