Does this help with pet dander and does it have a light that indicates when the filter should be cleaned?

It is worthless. I have a Honeywell that really works. This is junk. Don't know why it's rated so good.

It does help with pet dander! I found a lot of my dogs black hair in it! And no there is no light that indicates the filter needs to be cleaner.

It does not have a light to indicate when it needs to be cleaned, but it's really easy to open and get the filter out. It does help with pet dander...we have a Bulldog and she sheds like crazy...this machine picks up the smallest of junk in the air. We live in Texas and it's naturally dusty &lt;I have to dust at least 3 times a week because of my husband's allergies - but with this on - I'm down to once a week YAY!&gt;. My husband had severe allergies and was sneezing at least 25 times a day....I haven't heard him in over a week&lt;the last time I cleaned the filter&gt;. I know when it's time to clean the filter because his eyes water and he sneezes a lot. This has 3 speeds. quick clean, reguar, and whisper clean. I use quick clean after I change the filter and let it run for 30-45 minutes, then I change it to regular for 2-3 days, and then I run it on whisper clean the rest of the time. If it gets really dusty, like when we do yard work &lt;the dust always gets in the house&gt;, or we cook fish or something that really stinks - I change it to quick clean. You'll be able to figure out a routine that works best for you. I hope his helps!

There is no light for the filter. I had it a month and my husband vacuumed it out. We have four dogs and this cleaner sits in the master bedroom on low all day long. It's helped me not to sneeze as much but the dust will still pile up! I was going to buy a few of these to put around the house but after a month with this one, I'm going to explore other options.

No, it's the most basic filter you can imagine. Very low power and will only help with small spaces with large dust particles. Don't waste your money.

To me, the smell was very faint. I turned mine on high for the first 3 days. I don't smell anything anymore. Great unit, we have lots of cats and clean the prefilter every week. Unit works very well removing cat dander.

I have a couple of pets, and yes it does reduce dander and most smells from pets.

I don't know. When the light went out I simply marked the calendar as to when to change the filter.

It has the light indicating when it's clean. I have never heard of an audio version.

When the light comes on it needs to be cleaned. Refer to your instruction included with your unit, it tells you how to clean it.

Sounds like a build up of gunk. I bought the cleaning brushes to clean the motor every other time I change the filter. Also try using vinegar, pour some in the bowl with the water and let it run for an hour or so. It should clear it up. But if it stopped working than you might have to buy another one. But it's very important to keep the motor clean and change the filters every 30-45 days depending on how many animals you have. I always take the water bowl apart and wash it because it gets hard water and gunk build up in it. Hope that helps.

Not sure. Don't think it is really intended to replace. Just clean it. I want to stress that if you have pet fur that it does tend to collect quickly on the filter, long before the cup is full. You have to empty/scrape filter with some frequency.

Yes, it does. I've found I have to run it on high all the time. Make to get the pet odor filters. It uses two filters. It comes with 1 set.

This one has a carbon filter that sits in front of the HEPA filter to catch pet dander. It catches a lot but doesn't last long

Use the tip of a ballpoint pen in the hole next to the red light indicating clean the filter. Takes a few seconds and the red light goes off. I haven't had a problem with this. Janice

there is the dirty / clean light sensor but I have never heard a sound out of the vacuum cleaner such as you're asking.

Depends on the environment you live in. e.g my new apartment floor is on concrete, no padding in the rugs, so I check it weekly. Mine runs 24/7 too, and I wash the other filter often. I have no pets.

It works great. I have 2 dogs and so far it has worked wonderfully. If it seems to not be working well, there is a small foam filter between the tank and regular filter. Just clean it out and it will work fine again. Hope this helps. Happy Thanksgiving.

Right below the red light is a recessed reset button for the light. Once you clean the filter stick a pencil or an object that can fit into the recessed button below the red light to reset the cleaning indicator. Took me an hour of fustration to figure that out >.<

there is a light to indicate that the "bag" is full, and lights to show what cleaning mode you are in - this is dependent on your selection when first turning on the machine. All in all - I love this thing. Hands down it beats the water powered cleaners. It is reliable and does an excellent job.
