How many filters (exhaust, hepa) does this have, are they washable?

I believe its got 3, the black AMD white checkered cover you see is a filter(washable), there is a small ehuast one (non washable) and the filter bag(non washable). I know the bag is a micron filter HEPA rated, don't know about the other two, it has been a long time since I looked that info up.

I concur with Julio. The outer shell filter is washable. The bag and the exhaust filter are disposable.

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.

The machine comes with one dust and one hepa filter. I bought the machine a year ago and have replaced the dust filters twice (800 square foot apartment). I would recommend purchasing additional dust filters when you get this machine. At the current rate, the hepa filter that came with my machine should last another three years before I would need to replace it.

I've only used it a few times, but I know it has a Hepa filter that can be replaced when needed. The other filter can be cleaned. Hope this is helpful.

You can wash the filters. I wash them in warm water and let them dry for a couple days. Buy the hepa Filter.

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+

Ryan, I don't recall the package saying anything about it being washable, and judging by the material, I'd say it isn't. Each filter lasts me about 3-4 weeks. I use it only for about 8-9 hours per day and change it before it gets horribly filled with dust, etc. I don't know if it has an FPR rating either. I suggest you contact Filtrete about that question (I doubt they'd tell you it's washable though, as they probably want you to buy a new one as often as possible.) Anyway, even though they don't last long, I feel they do a really good job.

I'm not sure of the exact number of filters, but it comes with a big stack. I rinse out the filters and use the same one for 4-5 days. It does also include the tote bag.

it's non washable,it should be replaced every two months, or sooner depending on conditions, such as smoke, pets, ect. the rating is a one, which is the best in catgory/ 3m's rating on this filter is 1000

You can't wash it but you can "dust bust" it or vaccuum it; eventually you will need a new one, but not each time it says "clean filter." The filters last a long time.

Yes they do (there are 2). One of the filters (which is a black plastic mesh material) is reusable in my opinion too fyi. I just suck all of the dust out of it with a vacuum hose and reuse it (or it could be washed and dried).

It comes with an extra pair of filters and they are washable and reusable. The unit plugs in to standard outside electric receptacle. It does an awesome job, we love ours!

on the manufacturer's website, you should not have to replace the filters. They are washable as far as I have found.

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.

To the best of my knowledge, they cannot be washed. We've had ours for about 6 mos., and are about to consider changing. If your don't have a real serious dust problem, I'd say 6-7 months would be about the life of this filter.

Yes the filters is washable but as I understand it's only good for about 2 washes

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.
