Yes this is a true HEPA filter it is not a Honeywell it was made for Honeywell and it's great no problems with it and a great price

It may be, but the one I ordered came with a plastic netting around it, which had a terrible odor that I couldn't get rid of. That was my issue with it. tried twice but both of the filters had that black plastic netting, so I returned them both.

What is a true hepa filter? This filter I bought says it is a HEPA FILTER and seems to clean the air in my house, to what degree I have no idea as far as the partial size, but I am happy with my purchase.

I'm not a scientist of the subject but to the best of my know it is as advertised. I do know that my allergies at night decreased markedly after I began using the product in the bedroom a night. Been using it several years now.

It does have a hepa filter. Hose and head is all you need. Power head is recommended.

Yes they are HEPA filters. However, I've had allergic reactions using the 3M mask with these filters, and I don't think I would if the mask were truly removing 99.97% of the allergen. Some allergens leak through, somehow. These filters are the best I know of to filter out allergens, but I've had many allergic reactions to animal dander right through the filter. And to some kinds of mold. Either the filter itself isn't very good at filtering out some allergens, or other parts of the mask leak somewhat.

The Hepa filters are able to be rinsed out and dried. Just remember, not to submerge your dust bin into water as there are sensitive electronic sensors in there. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean that unit. last make sure filters are dry before reassembly.

they are all the same, there is no permament HEPA FILTER, its just the brand name for marketing reasons, N HD S version are the same, and use the same filter, they are just version for diferent vendor, like home depot or amazon, so not even the N version is permament , the illusion of a permanent filter is good for sales, but amazon decided to changed that brand name for "long lasting vacunable filter"

Well it's more like you can blow the filter out with compressed air or vaccum them out. There is two of them. As far as that non removable Hepa filter, there is a Hepa button, but I havent taken it apart to check it out . Hope this helps

No. A new HEPA filter should be purchased when old one needs to be replaced.

The pre filter... yes its like a sponge.... the HEPA paper filter I would just gently vacuum it to extend the life of the filter

Yes, it comes with a foam-like pre-filter and a permanent hepa filter in it. Just vacuum the dust out to keep it fresh!

No,it isn't a HEPA filter & uses no activated charcoal.It is a finely constructed filter & is also electrostatic in operation.I'm not sure a HEPA filter is much more effective.

I've had this filter for a few years and I just vacuum it out with my Miele hepa vacuum. No problems so far.

No. It has 3 large hepa filters that last longer than other units I've used. I like the size and price of this unit. It moves a lot of air and is a bit loud. Not a drawback for me. I need background noise to distract me from my tinnitus.

This is the pre-filter replacement, not the hepa. This filter (the pre-filter) wraps around the actual hepa filter.

I've only used it a few times, but I know it has a Hepa filter that can be replaced when needed. The other filter can be cleaned. Hope this is helpful.

Prefilters help filter out large particles whereas the HEPA filter is meant for the smaller particles. You could run the unit without a prefilter, but the HEPA filter would get clogged more quickly and need replacement earlier. HEPA filters also cost a *lot* more than prefilters, so...
