Hi. Does anyone know if this uses the Gore Cleanstream filters like the other Dewalt HEPA vacs ? thanks

Sorry, I don't know of any "exact" replacement filters for the DWV012 vacuum.

No, the dirt is supposed to be tapped out of the filter into the garbage. To quote the owner's manual it states (in capital letters) "DO NOT RINSE OR WASH THE FILTER MADE WITH HEPA MEDIA".

yes, it's a HEPA, but doesn't have the Turbo Plus Power Nozzle. It has an attachment that is designed for low pile carpets or bare floors. If you have medium/high pile carpet, this won't really do the job. It will pick up surface dirt.

filter doesnt need a change for very long time, it needs cleaning/with vaccum cleaner only. thats whats HEPA FILTER, REPLACEMENT filters also available in Amazon.com

Yes - the HEPA filter comes with the vacuum. It is a very fine filter; one of my relatives vacuumed out a huge quantity of fireplace ashes with it, which clogged the filter. Rather than buying a new one, I used compressed air outside the house to blow out the extremely fine dust. It works like a dream again. It only clogged once in 2 years, so it doesn't need replacement very often.

Sorry for the belated response. Yes, the vacuum comes with a "HEPA Media Filter." The entire filter assembly replacement can be ordered from Bissell. Hope u bought one of these vacs. They're excellent for small jobs, or when u don't want to drag out something bigger. The cord is long enough for most jobs. Jan

have you noticed any difference after cleaning the filter since it is not replaceable? did it damage it? that is a concern because i am definitely looking for a hepa air purifier with a pre-filter..

The vac would work very well but keep in mind the hepa filter is expensive. Mine does a good job on floors but I,m using for lead renovation work. For other jobs I use a vaccum wih cheaper filters.

This particular machine requires two different filter sizes because there is a small filter in the wand and another larger one on the vac output, these work to block the shredded skin cells... my machine really works well so my filters are changed often.the only reason I can think of for the difference in filter size is the different sizes in the wands...mine also has two different sizes some for the face and larger ones for the elbows etc. I hope this helps answer your question Steve.

Will this filter fit the Model No. EP 187? I need a 1 tap clean hepa filter for my Shark hand vac.

It comes with a HEPA filter. This is the filter it uses: Bissell Pet & Hand Vac Multi-Level Filter, 97D5 So far, it's been very easy to just clean off. I suppose it will last a couple of years before I need to replace it.

Yes, to your first question. Outside the 'normal Shop Vac cartridge filter is a foam filter which just slips on. It is cleanable; thus reusable. This is a great vac and the only one we use.

I use a Festool CT 36. Works well. Broke the bank. Look for HEPA filtration.

Pure HEPA filters are the best for the money. This particular model is very good I have 2 I recommend it.

Just installed a Wynn Environmental 35A 0.5 micron canister filter on mine and very pleased with the results. That coupled with the ONEIDA Molded Super Dust Deputy Cyclone and a shop air filter, I am in dust collector heaven. And breathing much better also.

No real experience with this model. With other types it all depends on how long you run it and how dirty the air is. I have had hepa filters go from three months to a year. Vacuuming the hepa also helps.

This is a wonderful purifier...It is still whisper quiet after 18month...You will eventually need to buy the prefilter...I use cut to fit I purchased on this site...they work just as well...My hepa filter lasted almost a year before needing replacement...I vacuum it out once a week...You will love this unit...
