The filter should work fine for you for at least 6 months to a year so long as you clean it after every use depending on how heavy the vacuuming job is. You can find the needed filter at Wal-Mart I believe, it'll probably be about 20 bucks or so.

They take the filter Eureka DCF-4/DCF-18. The manual in mine said not to wash the filters, and you can get them here on Amazon for about $8, non-brand name.

I think that is referring to filters for the vacuum cleaner. I have the model that doesn't come with a vac (use my own), there is no filter (but my vac has one).

The regular filter only has to be vacuumed, not replaced. They do recommend replacing the thin charcoal filter periodically. However, since we do not have a smoker of pet in our house, I have not plans to replace it. will just vacuum dust from it every month or so.

I bought replacements w the vacuum but I haven't had to use them yet. Instead when I go to empty the vacuum, I also clean out the filter (I use gloves and a face mask, I def wouldn't do it without those things).Otherwise, I'd probably switch it out every month or so (I use it to vacuum my studio).

I just keep an eye on mine every time I clean the machine. I did not replace it for 10 years, but it got pretty dirty. I don't use my machine any more than 2-3 times a month...until I need a good cleaning. I've been told that the dirtier it gets the better it works as a filter, but I'm old school: I won't let it get that dirty again. I suggest, if you use the machine often, replace it at least once a year. Of course, you can always go to the Hoover website and investigate their FloorMate instructions. Happy cleaning!

For years I went with the official replacement. The benefit of that was that it had a replacement filter too.Now, I am trying the CreatorUV compatable replacement. Works fine, but have only had for a month, so I don't know life.

D, the VF110 filters are the fabric filters that should periodically be taken out and cleaned when the vacuum is full. It wouldn't hurt to have some extras on hand when you take the old one out to clean and wash it, you can put a new one right back in. Also, these may tear over time. The Pre-filter is the hard plastic filter that sets next to the VF110 filter. I wouldn't think this one would have to be replaced nearly as often. Just keep it clean.

Yes, the filter does need to be replaced, however, not often.Order filters through DeLonghi. I have not need to replace mine yet and I've used the machine approximately 10 times.

According to the owners manual, both filters need to be replaced after approximately 20 dust bags have been used. The manual also says that the micro-hygiene filter can be changed when it becomes extremely dirty or clogged. I've only had my vacuum a few months and haven't had to replace a bag yet.

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, I don't know of any "exact" replacement filters for the DWV012 vacuum.

I have always had, used the filters as shown, white, for my Hoover FloorMate. They're pliable, meant to bend some, but hardly flimsy or of poor quality for normal use in the device. I am unaware of any change in replacement filter, wondering if they have so made a change or if you got a filter for a different model accidentally. I do know from your comment, I will avoid the black rimmed filter, direct purchase or if it comes in lieu of an ordered white one. I doubt I helped you as much as you me, so thanks.

Well I order the filter on line......and the company gave me a call....to validate what I was purchasing indeed matched up to the make and model of my machine on hand. If and when I order filters again, the company has a record. The filter I purchased fits and works as designed. I guess make sure you phone number etc are on point. Mr. Matt

Take the bottom plate off with a quarter and look at the belt. If it is broke save it and go to a vacuum repair center with the belt, or call dyson and they will ship you a new one. I just did this as mine just broke 2 weeks ago. Easy fix DIY save $$$

I'm wondering the same thing. I cannot find any replacement filters that specifically state they are for this model. It's discouraging that the Fabreze website does not even show that they carry these little filter machines anymore. I would suggest you do not buy the unit until you get an answer. I'm going to be contacting the Fabreze company about this matter. Maybe you should do the same. Hopefully, they'll respond.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.
