Does anyone still have the packaging this purifier came in? I need to contact the manufacturer. My machine seems to be working less efficiently .

The metal bar of the ionizer can get gunk on it causing it to be less effective. You should be able to put your ear up to the ionizer hole on the bottom front and here a sizzling/whooshing sound.The qtip method will basically accomplish this, although it won't touch most of the metal; you have to take it apart, which is easy if you have a thin shaft philips screw driver. You'll see the metal around the whole and the bar on the backside, just clean it with the qtip method. Don't touch any of the other circuitry or the board. You can also clean the fan but be gentle - it's cheap and pushing on the blades might cause it to get noisy. The metal bar of the ionizer can get gunk on it causing it to be less effective.

original PUR packaging. sounds strange, isn't it? I wouldn't be so surprised if it's hassle-free package.

Sorry I just took out filter and wiped it. Did you call company. I was surprised it wasn't dirtier because I think that the dog hair around room is so much better since I got purifier.

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.

There was a 3M reusable wipe that was enclosed with the filter... If it was not in your package contact 3M, they will usually ship a replacement out to you.

Sharon,I've had this Sharp air purifier since the beginning of the year. Once a month, I remove both filters (charcoal and paper) and I vacuum the dust from the filters. Therefore, I have not had the need to buy a replacement. But I would think that replacement filters can be purchased from Sharp.

There are two filters in the machine when you purchase it: one is a charcoal filter (pre-filter) and the other is a hepa filter. I purchased a box of the charcoal filters when I ordered the purifier and had to change one filter after running the purifier almost non-stop for 6 months. The charcoal filter is very easy to change.

I've been using PUR filters for a long time. I don't have any problem with it. After installation, please don't forget to let the water run for the recommended time.May be you have a different issue. Sorry, I don't have a definite answer for youGood luckN.T

I am sorry but I do not know, mine has the water chamber in the back of the machine; I did look on the box the filters are packaged in but it doesn't list the machines the filters fit in. I looked in the book that came with my machine, found what filters and cleaner I needed there. Sorry I couldn't help more.

In the booklet I received with the vacuum "For Authentic Monster Replacement Parts, Call 888-896-8786. I called this number because the first machine I got did not have a filter. I as told to call the company I bought it from which I did to no avail. I finally got refunded for the first order but the company never did send me a return label, so I still have the first machine. I got the second one from the Vermont Country Store and it had the filter.When I call that number about the filter I was told that each filter cost about 16.99. I found this kind of hard to believe. So I'll just wash mine and see how long it lasts. The little machine is not really a very good product. It heats up too fast.

I have purchased one in the past of my grandmother and she is a heavy smoker. This purifier has allowed me and my grandson to be able to visit and sit with her compared to the other purifiers I have purchased before. We clean her filter often (every couple of months) so to keep her apartment fresh. I also purchased one for the womens bathroom at work and there has been no more complaints of the sent in the hallway. I have not had to replace the filter or clean it yet. I hope this helps.

Yes, we have that Whirlpool air purifier & we just got a replacement filter a few weeks ago. The Hepa filter that came with it had been in it a year. We change the pre-filter every couple of months. I hope I have been of some help in answering your question.

Dear Sharon, When I did locate the filters last year, I found that they cost almost as much as a new unit, so I bought a new one. Really hard to throw away something that works; built in obsolescence to the max. And I suppose I will do it again next year.

i use filter water from my fridge. and that helps. so right now I don't use the cleaning cartridge and clean the machine once a week.

I only got to use mine 3 times before it went in the shop but I dont recall a sound like that. I did find out my noise is from a bad hepa filter and roller brush...neither of which were replaced before I got it or are covered under the warranty. I am really wondering now what gets replaced on these "reconditioned" units. Knowing that, you may want to have it checked out. Good luck :-D
