(1) is this the Aerovac filter? (2) Do the bristle brushes come with the removable yellow disk, and do the disks hold the bristle brush well? Thanks!

This product is not what advertised for what I purchased. The brushes do not fit the 600 series. The brushes are too long and the end do not come off. The filters and wisper cleaners fit fine. Hope this help you

No. U just spin the handle at the top of the filter a few times and it turns flappers inside the filter that clean it out. It's a great dust collector. Btw buy the jet remote switch for it also. It makes it so much more convenient.

Brushes are included. I can't remember about the pads as I ordered some extras with my order. Machine works well - I would recommend it.

Have never had any mildew problems we had Braun Sonicares in the past, have only had this a couple of months, it has faster brush action. Don't really like the UV compartment, it is hard to put brushes in compartment. Overall I would recommend it.

virtually nothing other than color. The only exceptions: the XV-21 model comes with the "pet" brush and filter. However, many of the retailers (like Costco, that sells the XV-14) also now include the pet brush, but not filter. I am not sure there is any difference in cleaning with the pet filter or brush, having both. These units are being constantly upgraded, as I have seen having returned 2 and having the new models with slightly different improvements in design. The only other difference I would include here is that the XV-11 model (the first one available) may be older, and thus have a lot of the problems you will likely read about (old bad software, cheap parts, etc.)

It comes with 5 high filtration dust bags...I additionally purchased 2 of the Opticlean Dust Bag Accessory Pack for this 42Q8 series, includes 5 bags and the other 2 filters that needed replacing after every 5 bags.. Sorry to say, it doesn't say any where on the box specific item numbers..This pack is the way to go...If you go on the Bissell website I image the filter numbers are there.

Yes, it has s longer bristle brush with a long handle and a smaller upholstery kind of brush which are stored on the machine when not in use, and the design was faulty, as they fall off the machine when using it. I do use them all the time for dusting and sweeping the furniture.

I actually returned this one and got the other one. I didnt like it but it is complete. Clean the filter out weekly. Hope this helps.

The unit has 2 brush rollers [ forward and back] The filter bag is accessible from the bottom. Using it now on my second season, and it's an excellent product.

Patricia,Thank you for the inquiry. If you still have your cap and wing nut, this is the correct filter for your vac.Have a great day,

You can buy either. Synthethic came with the vacuum and didn't last. I paid more and bought a natural bristle brush recently. Miele's attachments are a joke!

We bought the brushes separately as part of a "packaging". Didn't realize how much they would be needed. This machine is good but it has to be cleaned about every 10-14 days. We are amazed at the hair and algae that accumulates in the filter. If you have a bottle brush, it is all you need but you need something to clean this with! I would buy this again but definitely get the extra filters. We don't change them every time we clean but over time you will need. If you have a large dog, it will need to be filled often. We have two cats but visiting dogs empty it rather quickly. Hope this helps. We bought the brushes separately as part of a "packaging". Didn't realize how much they would be needed.

Because the filter is such an important part and the top was really scuffed up, I decided to get a replacement from Amazon. For future reference, the replacement had no scratches of any kind, but I do smell a little grease. So I am guessing the latter is normal. Now that I think about it, the first one was probably new, but like I said not worth taking a chance for me. Thanks for all of the answers, they were helpful.

It comes with everything purchased new. You can order back up filter media or retro fit your own. It comes with charcoal and sponges to get it going. You will be able to during the first change keep a sponge or two and replace the others to keep a bacteria colony. Its really convenient.

Yes-brush is complete with bearings and caps. Google your vac model num to find parts list and see if the part numbers match up. I don't know if this will fit your particular model.

Hi.The one I got had a filter and was on sale for about 18.00. Works great, so I got 3 others for my family. I should be on their payroll. LOL

Yes it does. It uses two types of filter, one which is meant to be permanent, and one which is meant to be replaced periodically. It comes ready to go with both. In the past I simply vacuumed the replaceable filter between replacing it and that seemed to work pretty well also.
