How often do you need to replace the filter?

Unless you are vacuuming anything really moldy/sticky, you can just shake the filter out into the trash can and/or tap it to clear most of the dust out. With normal household use, unless it develops an odor, you could use the filter for years. It's not a HEPA filter, so it's sole function is simply to keep large particles from being vented while the vacuum is in use. If you use it to vacuum up litter or moist foods, I would change it 2-3 times a year to keep any mold and strong odors from developing.

Depends on how dusty the conditions are.It's best to clean them after each use.Order washable filters from Amazon and be done with it.

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've had mine for two years & haven't replaced the filter yet. So, I don't know. It depends on how much you use it I guess.

I don't use mine all that much, but I haven't had to replace the filter yet. I do clean it after each use, but that's easy enough to do.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

Depending on the amount of use, your filters should last 3-6 months easily. You can greatly extend the life of the filter by using a small hand vacuum or dust blower to clean the filter regularly.

They recommend changing the filter every 6 months. I believe the warranty if for the entire unit. There is a filter inside that has to be changed.

The instructions say change the filter every two months. I fill it with water every day generally.

The best practice is to change it every 8 to 12 months. Even flowing strongly after that time filter could have lost part of its filtering properties.

I have had mine for a little over a year with no wear and tear. I wouldn't be surprised if the filter lasts for another 2 years. I put it through its paces, using it every other day for a few mins and for extended periods while cleaning once a month.

We use this for a number of months. I would say 6 months. You could see on ours the filter looked dirty. We have real hard water. This is a factor. Just a guess once or twice a year.

Personally I havnt had to change the filters as of yet and my machines run 24/7. I'm figuring every few months or so. The machines do come with replacement filters:)

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

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.

The directions for the platinum model say the filter should be changed every two to four weeks. It also says you can thoroughly rinse the filter and put it back in. I've had no problems with doing that.

We change ours every 3 months (90 days) - We have a thing set up with Amazon to send us a filter quarterly, we have an extra on hand so after I use the one I have a new one waiting. Ours has a dial on top to tell me when to change (in case I forget)

I change mine every 6 months but it depends on the hardness of your water. The filter can not be serviced. I usually recycle it with my plastics.

The filter is good for up to 200 gallons. The frequency in which you change your filter depends on your water usage. We change ours every 2 to 3 months.

According to their website, filters should be replaced every 6 months. We've been using ours since 9/2012 and haven't replaced the filter yet. The water is still tasting good. Your water usage would effect how often the filter needs replacing.

It depends on how often you use the Floormate. The more you use it the sooner you will need to change it. Once a week or so and it should last 3 or 4 months. I just kind of look at it, and when the filter looks pretty dirty, I toss it and replace. Hope this helps.

I would say it depends on the conditions at your home. We live up in the mountains where it is very dusty, so we check it at least once a month. We'll change it based on the amount of dust on the filter paper. We can generally go a couple of months before having to change it out.
