Hi Janet. This unit does not have filters that need to be replaced. Thanks.

I had purchased the Black and Decker dustbuster from Amazon and they have the filters. Look for the model number and serial number on the dustbuster and I am sure they have replacements.

Hello- I haven't had to replace anything yet. I use this at our place at the beach. The only thing I've had to do so far is vacuum the filter. That says a lot considering our place is beachfront and the wind is constantly blowing dust and sand into any possible opening it can find.

The set contains two filters and both are used for approximately 6 months or less. Then they need to be replaced.

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.

Sorry, I don't see a filter listed for this model; are you sure that it has one to replace?

There is no filter that needs replacing. The Optimus comes with a "permanent" filter. They're like little marble balls in a cone with slots in it. It just needs to be rinsed when you clean the unit.

You clean it with a damp sponge. If that doesn't clean it completely, you can wash it with soapy water. You have to make sure it is completely dry before putting it back in. You never need a replacement filter.

There are no filters to replace.. But I believe you can still get one just to improve the quality of the vapor and make it cleaner.

No. There are no filters to replace. You simply wash the filters every month or two (what ever dyson recommends) and let them dry over night.

Yes, the filter does need to be replaced, however, not often.Order filters through DeLonghi. I have not need to replace mine yet and I've used the machine approximately 10 times.

You can buy replacements. The filter is cloth and mounted inside a plastic frame. I have washed it by hand twice, and it is holding up so far.

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.

When the filter needs changing....yes!!! It's gross. And, the filters don't last long!

Most units are self install. Just remove 1-2 screws and replace the old filter. Depends on the location of your existing filter.

I haven't replaced the filter in either one (I have two). I have had them more than a year.

You replace the whole unit. No filter here! After using this for 6 months, I switched to the Aquasana AQ-4105 which filters more stuff out and does have replaceable filters (but they cost about $20 more than the unit listed here every six months)
