There are funnel type filters that say they don't need changed like the other machines you change after 4 sessions. There is a cup that collects debris and can come off. I don't use the filter because the power of suction gets diminished w it in. I will just remove entire cup when full.

When I washed mine, it kinda fell apart. Now I am trying to figure out how to find new filters. Otherwise, the machine is WONDERFUL. I keep it going non stop in my office area. It's been two years, with no problems except my throwing the filter in the washing machine! Don't do that! Wash by hand.

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 clean the HEPA filter. This is what the Shark website states "There is a post-motor HEPA filter located on the bottom of the unit which should be cleaned approximately every 12 months. To remove this, you will need to fully recline the vacuum body to access the HEPA cartridge. You can also remove the floor nozzle by pressing the orange nozzle release button on the side of the unit. Next, turn the latch to the unlock symbol, remove the bottom cover and press the button to release the filter frame. To wash, put under tap water until the water runs clean, then let air dry completely for at least 24 hours. Once dry, replace the HEPA filter back into your vacuum and secure the cover on the bottom of the vacuum."

The vacuum comes with its own permanent filter. Dyson suggests that you clean the filter regularly for optimal service. For reference I have attached a youtube clip from their official channel describing how you clean it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJlBad_JWv0 I hope this helps, if you have any questions or need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Easy washable filter, - I wash it once a month. Had my machine for over a year

I have had my machine 4 years. I take the filter (located in lower left of water bin-in the hole that takes in water) out on a regular basis and clean it. If I forget about it the machine will show ADD WATER LIGHT when there is plenty of water in the bin and the filter is too clogged to suck in water. I take a butter knife and pop it out of the center of the hole. I do not know where or if you can buy replacements but I still use the original that came with my machine.

There's a video on YouTube from Pioneer showing you how to take apart the pump to clean it. I haven't tried this yet but it looks pretty do-able. Before finding this video today, I've always just rinsed the pump and cleaned the exterior with a brush every time I changed the filter (once a month). Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYyTFv_u3Sw

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

Hi. I had the same issue with smell. I did not run the machine right away. I took it out and cleaned the filter in Lysol and let it sit for about 30 mins. Then rinsed really well and put it back after it dried completely. There was a slight smell for a few days, but it has gone away. You may want to put it outside or wipe down with baking soda and water just to help get rid of the smell.

I have washed the filter and follow the instructions, it works well. Considering I only did it once and you have done "Several Times", I guess you know the operation process very well and it should be the problem of the Machine. I will take care of it too. Thank you.

Not quite sure what the problem is: Yes, there are three parts to the "filter" which disassemble for cleaning purposes, but should be rethreaded together before using. I'm not aware of any plastic inside the unit.

Yes, it is cleanable. Simply open canister and remove ceramic filter. Scrub with brilo pad till white again and reinstall. I generally clean mine about once per year. You will notice a drop in water flow when the filter is dirty and needs to be cleaned.

Sorry, I don't know. I have not cleaned the filter yet, I didn't fell it needed it. If the instructions aren't clear I would call the company.

I have had this coffeemaker for a year now. I regularly wash the removable basket that holds the filter. I occasionally run a vinegar wash through the whole machine, as recommended. I have not washed the hinged non-detachable part of the swinging basket. I believe it could be wiped down with a wet paper towel or clean cloth, though. I don't see the need unless your coffee has become consistently bitter. What I do is remove the used, wet filter and basket almost immediately after brewing, and leave the whole swinging part (as well as the lid where water is poured in) open to air out. Hope this helps.

I have not cleaned it yet. However the entire top (with all the sides) lift right off. The filter unit comes out and that is basically the entire inside. The motor is up in the cover. The only problem I had was the little door leaked water when filling. I put a little calking around the emblem (on the inside of the door) and it solved the problem (it only took a couple minutes). It also runs so quietly, you barely know it's running. I love it!
