Filter question: Has anybody had to replace the filter yet?

You can clean the filter yourself and use it over and over again. I can't foresee ever buying another filter for it.

sadly the answer is no. I think I will know when that strong chlorine smell returns that it is time to replace the filter.

Randy, the same thing happened to me last year. It ended up being that the little nipple which the filter depresses against when screwed on had somehow chipped off. I ended up having to replace the entire filter assembly (which was quite easy to do).

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.

Nope. You have to establish a replacement plan. http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/565212O/3m-adflo-cartridge-filter-optimization-and-filter-replacement.pdf?fn=Cartridge&F;ilterReplaceProgram_7

I've only had mine for 2months..I'm not sure,but other reviewers have said they have vacuumed or lightly brushed the filter to clean.

I don't use mine all that much, but I haven't had to replace the filter yet. I do clean it after each use, but that's easy enough to do.

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.

Not yet....I needs to call Dyson for the THIRD time! They have told me to soak the filter for an hour (that maybe it hadn't really got clean), and to ensure the filter door is in place properly. I am still having issues! It seems to happen after the motor has warmed up, then it is every few seconds. Will let you know if I find out anything that actually works!

I replaced the filter with no problem. When I did so there was an audible "click". The only suggestion I would make is check the filter to make sure it's the right one.

I haven't had that issue - I can usually twist it out with my fingers and place the new filter in in no time. Maybe the filter housing (the thing that the filter sits in) needs to be changed or is defective.

Did filter quit working or light or both? If it light you can easily replace the light. If it filter i would call manufacturer. See about getting replacement

Jeff, Does your filtration system have a light (red/yellow/green) that indicates when the filter needs to be changed? Let me know if you do, as I may have your solution! kkt

Ok, I THINK mine is finally fixed. I had to send it in for repairs (thank goodness they have a 5 year warranty!) The tech comments are: Found motor malfunctioning. Replaced motor. Test operation. Found problem with air flow and filters/repair/replace filter.Test and verify good air flow and suction OK. Bad motor causing damage to filter.I just got it back last night and have only used it once but the filter didn't pop off!

No! The filters are easy to replace. The unit even comes with a "count down filter replacement timer" so you know when it's time. When we get within 7 days, I just reorder from Amazon:)

No filter that needs to be replaced. Press the button on the bottom to let the water out, and that's it. It works great!
