Does it use filters?

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.

see my comments on this product HOW NOT HAVE TO BUY PAPER FILTERS -unit has two 'filters' one fine metal mesh and other is a paper have to replace filter -----you can avoid replacing paper filters if just punch out original paper filter - replace with cut to fit piece of linen and then place back bracket with fine wire mesh filter - for me it works great , when linen dirty wash dry and place back in machine - NO MORE PAPER FILTERS TO PURCHASE ( if you do replace filters you are basically paying for a new unit with filters every year).

Yes. It comes with a filter that is cleanable. I use it daily to remove the dog hair off of the blanket on my bed. Easy to take apart and wipe off any hair on the screen cover then just hit the filter off the trash can. Gets most of the dirt and hair out. Swear it said the filter was washable but haven't needed too. Had it for months still works great! Much better and faster than using lint rollers. One lint roller would last a few days. This is much better!

Yes, it has a filter that gets taken out to clean. Problem is though, the filter has a nylon type covering on the part inside closest to the debris. The pet hairs then get trapped inside the mesh and then are unable to come out. At that point you have to buy new filter. I used it twice only in my car for the pet hair and the filter is almost totally full. I refuse to buy a filter after only 2 uses. The filter design is the only fault I have with this vacuum. I specifically bought it to vacuum my car out after my dogs are in it. Had I know it would be this way, I would not have bought it. Yes, it has a filter that gets taken out to clean.

Yes - it has it's own filter system and everything it cleans up stays inside the unit. When it is done you open it up, dump out debris and hose off the filters.

Yes, it does use. The booklet says it's an F2 filter. It's the small, pleated type and it rinses clean very easily so I expect it to last a considerable amount of time. Amazon sellsgeneric F2 filters - 3 for $4.50.

It does not really have a filter. It sits underwater in my pond & pumps water/debris to an external above ground filter system. It works great!

It does. Mine had a bad filter so we had to go out and buy another one. Product overall is great!

Yes it does..... pretty good setup.... just doesn't come with extra filters :-)

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.

No filters needed. But if you install it with a direct plumbing line you do need to install an ice machine/refrigerator filter indeed. You don't "have" to, BUT I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your question! A filter is not required for this system to operate properly.

Yes. It filters very slowly. if you have not watched the videos I recommend you do it.

No not that I know of. I had it installed by a professional but I didn't see any filter.

No filters needed, but the battery goes down quickly. There is no alarm to let you know, you just have to check it from time to time to see if it's working. Think my battery is down now. It's okay, but I'm not 100% sold on it's effectiveness.

It doesn't need a filter. The way it's made is a filter in itself. Hope that help!

I would say it filters some. I bought it for dog hair, and it didn't filter that too well.
