There is no filter to replace, you use a q-tip in Alcohol and insert it into the hole in the bottom. It will clean it out. I still love and use my GT50 daily in my car and bathroom.

You really need to replace it. It will turn grey/black with dirt. As a maintenance factor you can rinse the removable filter that covers it but when it significantly changes color, you need a new one.

It has a small filter that comes with it. I replace it every so often. I use it just because it has it. I guess you wouldn't have to.

I am not sure there is any way to really clean it. I think you may need to but replacement filters. I don't think that they were meant to be washed.

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 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.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

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.

I seem to recall that the filter might need to be cleaned. I don't handle this, my roommate does, But I do notice it it smells from time to time. Run it for a while and check it later.

I have washed the filter and follow the instructions, it works well. Considering I only did it once and you have done "Several Times", I guess you know the operation process very well and it should be the problem of the Machine. I will take care of it too. Thank you.

The replacement filters are tied on. With regular cleaning I've been using the same cloth filter for three months and going strong.

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 clean mine out as per instructions. Once a month, especially the bottom tank. Doesn't hurt to give those black filters a light scrub every so often.

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

They offer replacement filters for it however I have washed and reused mine numerous times. It's just a hard piece of wirish like filter. It's very easy to clean and reuse. I have never replaced mine yet.

I clean off as much lint as possible and then wash it in the laundry tub (with a lint protector in the drain). I washed the original filter for almost 4 years and finally purchased the washable version. The original is still intact and can be used.
