The pre-filter foam can be cleaned. The paper main filter element must be replaced.

You can wash the outer foam, but not the paper inner. They always recommend against it but you can use an air compressor to blow out the dust on it and get some extra time.

The foam over cover can be washed and reused but The actual filter can only be blown out with compressed air a few (3-4) times then it should be replaced. I usually get about one to two cutting season from one of these depending on how dusty and dry it is and I cut 2 acres. If you cut less then you should get maybe two to three seasons if it's not to dusty/dry.

I would go with the first answer. I check mine after every cutting and blow it out when it needs it. I wash the foam cover about every 4 or 5 times mowing. I haven't found a better filter yet.

This unit comes with a permanent filter that can be washed and reused. There is also a light on the unit that tells when the filter needs to be cleaned.

You can wash the filter, but it takes awhile to dry. I bought two HEPA filters for it, so there's a dry one to put in when I (occasionally) wash the other one.

Well, I would say no, you cannot wash it. It is of paper, and looks like a car air filter, but much smaller, naturally. My last filter lasted for years, and I would tap it on the side of a trash can, to get all the dust out. It was made of pretty darn strong paper. The new one, like the old design, has a plastic filter covering the paper filter, and it has pretty small holes, so only fine dust actually gathers of the (paper) filter. I think you can purchase new paper filters if you need to. Hope this helps.

I would think you could wash it. There was enough pre-filter to make two anyways. So could just the other one while letting one dry. I usually just blow off the filter with an air hose so if you have access to that it works great. I do that to all my filters, like the vacuum, dust buster, window units, and then this air purifier. The deal is keeping the prefilter clean to help preserve the life of the main filter.

Good news I tried something I took mine and rinsed it a few times under warm water then washed the whole thing in warm soapy water now it's nice and clean and good to go, it's all dry now so washing didn't ruin it. I couldn't get the filter out of mine either my friend has one same thing

I wouldn't try it. The filter is a metal mesh with a metal frame. It is cleaned by washing with soap and water. I would be afraid it would fall apart.

You can used it over and over. Remove the filter from the vacuum and clean any loose dust from the filter, wash the filter in warm water soapy water. Let it dry before you used again. Do not use a washer machine or you will destroy it.

as long as you don't have ick or veil fungus, yes you can rinse off and reuse...I like to make sure that it rinsed clear before I put the filter back in.

No, the Hepa filter is NOT washable but the other one is. I take mine out and vacuum / shake it once in awhile.

You can clean the filter yourself and use it over and over again. I can't foresee ever buying another filter for it.

No. You do have about 3 filters that get replaced at various times. They are not washable. A display screen on the top will indicate which filter needs to be replaced. We have had ours about 2.5 years and I have replaced one filter at about $50 and a second filter is needed at a cost of $150+

Yep, it appears so. I do not think washing the filter is an option. I tried doing this once with another Hoover model, and the filter fell apart.

Yes, this is the white disposable filter only. The black foam is a washable, reusable filter and can be purchased separately. It can be washed a reused. I keep just 2 black foam filters, and alternate them. You don't want to put a wet black filter back into the unit until it is dry.

Not sure, but since the filter is ceramic and they give you some sand paper to clean it. I would say you could use it for a very long time without needing to change it.

Yes, it is my understanding that this filter is cleanable. I've had it less than 6 months, so haven't had to do it yet.
