What is the filter like? Is it washable? If not how long does it last?

It is replaceable, it is washable, instructions said to change it out every 6 months.

It's removable and washable. I don't know what it's made of, but it's not disposable.

You can wash the filter, but it takes awhile to dry. I bought two HEPA filters for it, so there's a dry one to put in when I (occasionally) wash the other one.

I've been using mine for 6 months and haven't washed the filter yet...oops. It hasn't seemed to need it though.

The hepa filter can be washed and re-used. I have used it for 6 months now without replacing it. I expect it to last another six at least.

No, the Hepa filter is NOT washable but the other one is. I take mine out and vacuum / shake it once in awhile.

Yes it is washable, but like stated takes a while to dry. I use this in our RV and it works great; but I keep an extra filter on hand.

I believe it's a washable filter but I would never recommend this product, it's vacuum is very weak and does not hold much - when I say weak, it does not work on even crumbs really - i should have returned it since I had to buy a replacement for it immediately.

Of course it ultimately depends on the environment you're in I've read that they last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, so far I have yet to change mine. I open it periodically to look at it and it is still pretty clean, the black pre-filter catches more and needs replacing more in my opinion. With four dogs I'm thinking of replacing the black filter soon on mine but it does come with extras when you buy it. It does have a filter light that will come on when the main filter needs to be changed as well.

I've had my purifier a few months now. I've vacuumed the pre filter off several times, and it my opinion, it could be gently washed if necessary and will last a long time. I love this purifier!

I haven't tried washing the filter yet, but I went on the companies website & this is the information the gave: WASHING YOUR FILTER Many of the filters that Crucial Vacuum manufactures are washable and reusable. Washing your filter is an important part of vacuum cleaner maintenance. If your filter is not clean, your vacuum will have a hard time absorbing and eliminating dirt. Improper cleaning of the filter reduces the suction capability of the vacuum over time. STEP 1: You should ideally clean your filter after every 3-4 uses. Before cleaning your filter you should refer to the vacuums manual. STEP 2: When removing dust from the filter, chances are it will spread around the air, it is best to take the filter outside. Tap the filter gently on the side of the garbage so that most of the dust falls out. STEP 3: If your filter is NOT washable, it will be adversely affected if you wash it. Rinse the outside surface of filter with cold-luke warm running water (do not use soap). STEP 4: If you washed the filter, air-dry 24-48 hours before you replace it in the vacuum. Once the filter is clean and dry, you can put it back into the vacuum. IMPORTANT: Do not brush your filter. Do not clean you filter with abrasive materials. Do not scrub your filter between the pleats. *Even with regular cleaning, most vacuum filters have a specific lifespan and must be replaced regularly. Replace your Crucial Vacuum filter every 3-6 months. Hope that's helpful.

It should have a washable filter if not you need to contact Amazon. You can order a pre filter separate.

No. You do have about 3 filters that get replaced at various times. They are not washable. A display screen on the top will indicate which filter needs to be replaced. We have had ours about 2.5 years and I have replaced one filter at about $50 and a second filter is needed at a cost of $150+

There are three filters One permanent, two replaceable. You should "clean" and re-use the initial filter monthly depending on the work load. I haven't had this unit very long so I just take the front cover off and visually check the filter. The cover is very easy to remove & replace. The other two filters are expected to last around 18 months. They have to be replaced, not cleaned. When the cover is off there are a series of led lights telling you the condition of the filters. By the way, removal and replacement of the filters is really easy.

Honestly it seems like every time you use it the filter gathers dust and you just wipe it off with your hand *Think lint brush here*.As soon as it's clean you're done. in terms of replacing it. Hmmm who knows...seems like it should hold up for quite a long time. If not you can replace it for like $5 on their website or make your own.

Abdul, the filter can be taken out and washed and reused. It is a reusable filter.

Hi Kkrome. I would say a long, long time. All you do is rinse it off when it gets too dirty. It is a fabric of some sort. Make sure you let it dry out thoroughly before you use it again. I have only had mine a couple months.
