What type of filters does this vacuum have? Is it washable or does it need a new one each time ?

It has one filter, it's round and on top of the dirt canister, it's easy to get to and comes out easily. It's machine washable, every piece is total quality, I doubt that you will ever have to replace the filter as long as you clean it monthly. I'm so impressed with this vacuum, best purchase I've made at Amazon, I love it, it's totally unbelievable how well it cleans my carpets. Hope this helped you, you got a great vacuum.

It's removable and washable, I have washed several times already works great!

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

There is a filter in the back...use your vacuum to clean it off. There is a filter in the front...take it out and rinse it...let it dry and return it.. That easy.

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.

We have owned this vacuum for about 1 year and I inspect the HEPA every 3 months. It has not needed replacement. It is a paper style filter, unlike our Dyson which can be washed. I do take the entire canister for both machines and totally wash them in a garage sink. The Dyson does require more dismantling. When the entire canister and cyclone elements are free of most fine dust I allow them to dry overnight before re-assembling them. The Dyson is 5 years old and I believe this complete washing has kept it operating properly. Check Consumer Reports, they recently reviewed uprights.

The filter is two part--cloth inside with a plastic and mesh cover over that. You can wash the cloth filter and replace it. I purchased a couple replacements from Amazon so that I always have one to put on while the other is drying. They will get to a point where they have to be replaced but I have had my vacuum two years and only replaced the cloth filter once but that may be because I wash them often, hence the beauty of having a couple of extra filters hanging around.

Sorry, we have not put this vacuum in service yet. Don't know what filter you will need.

When I'm done vacuuming, I always put the filter under the hose and wash it out. I just let it dry out in the sun. So far in the 8 months I've used this (probably 12 plus uses), the filter shows no wear or tear. Just make sure it is dry before using it next time. Also on the Amazon comparison section, it says the filter is washable.

According to kaz.com which is the manufacturer the filter should be vacuumed not washed."The permanent HEPA filters are easy to clean - simply vacuum and replace back into the unit. "http://www.kaz.com/kaz/air-purifiers/products/honeywell-tower-air-purifier-hht-090/

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 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.

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.

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

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+

It's washable and I have yet to wash it (probably should soon). They come with a few replacement filters as well. I can't recall exactly the specifics, but I want to say when I took it out of the box and read instructions that I figured I had three years with what they gave me.

Are you saying you are buying the cleaning solution, or the machine itself? If you are talking about the machine, it comes with one. After you used it for awhile, dirt will get trapped in the filter and you can't wash it out anymore, then you do have to replace the filter. I hope I answered your question!

I looked at the warranty booklet and it only says to shake and brush dust and dirt from filter. Their is no mention of being able to wash filter. I had a eurkea vacuum before and these filters last a long time but I am a single guy in a 1 bedroom apartment.

I didn't keep the vacuum long, but the bags don't have very good filtration, so I'd say every 3-6 bags it would need a new filter. If you want a great bagged vacuum that doesn't require filter changes, get a Hoover Windtunnel Max and be sure to use their HEPA bags in it. I've had one for several years, and have only changed the filter once.
