Can the filter be removed to be cleaned (as on some air conditioners). If not, how often does a filter need to be changed and where do you buy it?

Yes the air filter is removable. I remove mine then run water over it to get it damp then gently wipe it clean with a damp rag. The filter seems rather flimsy so I`m careful with it but ......

Yes the filter comes out but it is very tight to take the front off to get to the filter. I clean it about every 2 weeks. Just don't bread the front. I rinse the filter out with warm water under the sink. Real easy part. BTW love our airconditioner !!!

I have gotten away with not changing it for about two months. BUT that required me to keep the unit dust - free and clean on the inside as well s the outside. It also depends on how often you' re using it. If you use it constantly. then you will have to plan on changing the filter every month for sure.

The filter is on the bottom of the unit and can be replaced with just your hands. The filter is a simple pinch and pull it out of the bottom and to replace push in the new one. I don't know how often the filter needs replaced but I use it monthly minimum since Aug 2013 and the filter is still fine.

You replace the whole unit. No filter here! After using this for 6 months, I switched to the Aquasana AQ-4105 which filters more stuff out and does have replaceable filters (but they cost about $20 more than the unit listed here every six months)

Printed on the edge of the filter: "Change every 6 to 12 months - more often if the filter appears dirty." My HVAC person recommended every 6 months.

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.

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.

They recommend changing the filter every 6 months. I believe the warranty if for the entire unit. There is a filter inside that has to be changed.

There is a permanent filter that can just be rinsed and an additional optional replaceable filter that can be used in front of the perma-filter. Not sure of the cost but replaceable filters need to be changed every 3-4 months....additional notes, this unit has a pretty loud fan if used on medium or high speed.

They offer replacement filters for it however I have washed and reused mine numerous times. It's just a hard piece of wirish like filter. It's very easy to clean and reuse. I have never replaced mine yet.

I am sure at some point the filter will need to be replaced, I have had my dust collector for about 18 months and it still works great. I clean the filter nearly every day (crank the handle that is attached to the top of the unit). I have been a little afraid to look at the replacement cost (putting my head in the sand so to speak). I looked before I bought the unit and I remember it was expensive but now after 18 months I am not sure I would want to live without the unit so the price of the filter has become a necessary expense when the time comes. PS; as well as the dust collector works you will also need an air filtration unit to clean up the dust you breathe. My shop is much cleaner since I added the air filtration machine (I used to have a fine layer of dust on everything) and I am sure my lungs are happier. I would like to tell you that the dust collector is more important than the air filtration unit but to be honest the need is to have both machines is equal. Sorry to attack your pocket book but you really do need both units.

According to the owner's manual, the filter does not need to be replaced; it is reusable. The filter can be cleaned with warm water, but if it has a thick layer of lint/dust/whatever, I would suggest gently scraping that off with a toothbrush or something similar before cleaning it with water.

I replace the filter about every 9-10 months. It runs 24/7 on fan speed -2 except for those weeks when the weather is nice and we open the house. I wash the foam pre- filter every month

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

No, you don't technically have to wash the filter, but when I unscrew it every day to rinse and fill up the humidifier tank, I rinse off the filter. You should carefully read the instructions on the box as to the lifespan of the filter, though. I change my filters out every month. (I can't recall how often they say to change them, but I think it's about 1 month.)

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.
