How long does this filter last? Is it washable? Does it have an FPR rating?

I'm in south Texas it last a month in the heat of summer but I can get several filter cuts from this box. It's not washable. Irk on filter rating but I can tell you it's amazing what it picks up next to this, the factory filter isn't even a filter more like a joke.

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

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.

It is not washable. I change when they get dirty, about 3-4 months. I put them in front of the HEPA filter so the HEPA lasts much longer. as they are much more expensive.

It is not washable, don't know about FPR rating. In NYC where I live, it lasts about 2-3 weeks before it starts to turn a dark gray color, and I am sure it will last longer if you don't live in an urban area. It comes with 2 filters that can be cut to size so I can get 3 filters out of one box. I have a large Friedrick a/c unit so you might do better. These are very good- they have helped my allergies. I use off season just to clean the air in my apt and I can feel a difference.

I've been running it on low for the last 6 weeks. I have had no problems with it. Only time I turn if off is to clean it once a week. I let the filter dry for about an hour. No issues.

You can buy replacements. The filter is cloth and mounted inside a plastic frame. I have washed it by hand twice, and it is holding up so far.

It lasted me about 6 months. It is really handy to be able to switch back and forth for filtered/non-filtered water. I only used the filtered for drinking.

I haven't had any problems with mine since I put it in. Mine been in for at least four months now, my old filter in had to clean it every month and half.

if you keep the filters cleaned on a regular schedule they should last for many years. check your cleaning requirements (very simple and easy to do)

Yes it does come with a washable filter. I believe they state it's good for 100k miles but I'm not sure I would trust it that long. The more you wash and clean, the more porous it tends to get therefore loosing the filtering capacity.

This is a one time use filter. I wouldn't recommend washing it or getting one that is washable. I have 2 dogs that shed & a smoker in my house and these filters last quite a long time before they need to be replaced - Approx. 6 months.

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.

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+

I've had this item for several years. About once a month I wash the filter with dishwashing detergent & warm water. It's still like brand new.

I have only washed and reused this particular filter twice. However, the filter was not in "poor condition" when I threw it out. You could potentially get more than 2 uses out of it.

So far our filter has been holding up pretty good. I haven't had the chance to change it yet. Sorry.

Yes, the filter is washable. That makes it fantastic. I bought an extra one, so I just alternate them. When I am washing/drying one, I insert the other one.

Yes it is washable, but like stated takes a while to dry. I use this in our RV and it works great; but I keep an extra filter on hand.

Honeywell tells me it will last from one to three years depending on how much you run machine. You should be able to tell because eventually the outside of the filter will turn sort of pale beige/yellow compared to the inside, which will still be white. You can also vacuum it to prolong life. Just use a soft brush and don't damage the paper folds.
