It filters better than a K&N;, but I still bought one of the AFE filter wraps so I don't have to clean it as often, live on a gravel road, lots of dust in summer.

I ordered this for my son's truck. We live in the country on gravel roads, which are dusty. He has had zero issues with it, so far, due to being in the dust, dirt and gravel. As for the fillers, I do not know that answer. Hope this helps.

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.

The manual doesn't show different type of filters, just the supplied one. Replacement filters are available. Cleaning the filter is easy. I don't have that type of dust.

It comes with only one filter, but I have to say it does a super job of picking up fine particles like sand and fine dirt. The filter fabric is like heavy cotton that you will need to clean with a hose to get all the dirt out of it.....

I've been testing my new Botvac80 the past couple days. On the first few cleaning runs the dust bin fills up and I have to take it out and clean it (very quick and easy) plus clean the filter and possibly the brush (takes 5min or less) Shouldn't be expensive to maintain if the filter lasts several months with regular cleaning, but only time will tell. Right now extra filters are not in stock and it might be quite sometime before the price comes down on them too. Hopefully the brush and battery will last a long time too and not need expensive replacement, but that too only time will tell.

I am not sure why, but this filter is a lower grade than the original that comes with a new unit. This filter is thinner, therefore it does not pick up dust very well. It is hard to find a good replacement. I found one at Home Depot.

No dust problems either after years of use. I've had a protection filter in place from day one though.

It includes a bag which you might want to use for small particle dust, but it also has the filter which works fine for larger particle dust without the bag.

I haven't used it for that purpose, but I have used these filters in very dusty conditions while blowing out the interior of my garage and blowing leaves from my property. I've been using these filters since July and they have yet to show signs of needing replaced. They may not filter odors as well as they do particulates. The respirator they are attached to must also seal itself to your face without leaks for the filters to be effective.

In my opinion the filter does get dirty fairly quickly...I try to use a brush and get most of the stuff off of it myself rather than replacing every couple months.

I vacuum the pre filter when I see a lot of dust and hair on mine. It makes it last much longer. Not sure how well it would hold up to washing.

yes it does pick up dust pretty good but they sell others that has a brush like a vacuum cleaner besides the two round ones in the front that I assume will pick up really good so if you do some more research you'll see those I wish I could have bought one of those instead I really think that would have been a better buy

It is subjective. If you use it in an enclose area definately the grey sponge filter at the bottom will be very dirty. To clean the filter you just need to wash it with water and hang dry. Unless the filter is damage else you should be able to use the duster for a few years or until the sponge material wear and tear.

I have been using these filters for some time now and never any issues, these filters seem to do a very good job at catching fine dust and dog dander. I do change mine more often than the manufacturer recommendation, I do so every 2-3 weeks just to make sure that my system is not working harder to keep up.

I had bought a used one and returned it. My aunt had Ecoquest and it did and excellent job on odors and dust. We have a FilterQueen, Defender for about one year. It does a good job with odors and dust. I usually have several sinus infections during the winter months. This year I had no trips to the doctors and zero sinus infections. We have a ranch home and it doesn't keep the dust down as good at the end of the house. They had recommended we get 2 units, we only bought one.

It certainly should have a removable filter. It fits tightly against the inner end of the dust collection bin. If it was missing the bin wouldn't be sealed against the body of the vacuum and the vacuum wouldn't work well if at all. The filter can be removed for cleaning and it will last for some time, but it is a good idea to have a second filter.

The "Cyclonic" filter seems to work just fine - it is aided by a reusable foam filter (that can be washed out) and a final HEPA filter that is replaceable (annually, they say) for about $12. There is no residual dust etc coming from this machine whatsoever.
