Does this one require a filter? If yes, is the filter washable/cleanable or must it be replaced once dirty?

No this humidifier does not require a filter. It should be cleaned once a week .

No, it doesn't require a filter, just need to use distilled water and let it dry out after use.

I've had this item for several years. About once a month I wash the filter with dishwashing detergent & warm water. It's still like brand new.

I just take out the little filter bag and shake it over the trash or use a whisk broom to get it cleaner. I've had mine for over a year, and I haven't needed a new filter yet.

I assume your asking if the filter needed to be replaced and the answer is no. That said, after several weeks of continuous operation there was more dust on the outside of the unit than the filter. I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

Sorry to be so late ... but no the filter is stainless steel so all you need to do is to wash regularly..

It's bagless vacuum and there is a thick foam-type filter that is washable. It does not need to be changed each time.

just filter changes..I'm sure you'd want to wipe it down etc just as a matter of normal cleaning though

Yes, the fact that the filter is entirely washable is why I bought it. This way I have it in service 7 days a week, 365 days a year. No waiting to find a replacement filter like other air cleaners. Wash with dish soap or any cleaner, rinse, dry and go.

The filter will accumulate dirt just like a normal filter. Each month I check it and clean it, wash it off with a garden hose. Actually whether it needs it or not but it is usually dirty and it cost me nothing. Bye.

It is a plastic and mess type filter that you use over and over again, i.e. permanent filter. It's very easy to clean also. I hoped that helped!

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.)

It comes with two washable cloth filters. I soak them in water after use and in PuroCaff once in a while to get cleaner. You can buy replacement filters, but I'm a year in and still using the first one...

I am not sure there is any way to really clean it. I think you may need to but replacement filters. I don't think that they were meant to be washed.

There are two filter in this unit. The one at the top of the canister you water every 3months but the one (HEPA) I have yet to replace it. though it is a replaceable filter it doesn't seem to be dirty yet and I have I'm since last May. I love everything about this machine!

It comes with a filter. But it's the kind that you wash. You shouldn't need to replace the filter unless it breaks for some reason.
