I bought mine 4-5 months ago and it came with 3 spare filters - not sure if that qualifies as recent

Yes it does. If it had not come with everything specified, I would have sent it back. It works great. I am not a company I am a guy that lives in Louisiana and if my unit hadn't worked perfectly so far I would tell you about it and I would have gotten a replacement or complained about it. It does what it says it does.

I just took delivery of one of these and the carbon filters were in the box. Apparently, they have started packing them with the unit.

hi Chester, it comes with 3 filters... you need all 3 to function. Filters last very long time and can be cleaned.

Mine came with a single filter. I did end up buying a couple more as spares though.

I got this a while ago. I believe it came with maybe a half dozen filters. You can buy a package of I believe one hundred filters in a supermarket for about 2 dollars. Make sure you get the #2 filters.

I now own 2. It has a carbon filter but the main filter unit is a great hepa filter. Removes smoke and hous hold odors great. Have had in in a sick room and it was great in there as well.

Barbara, there are no any additional accessories included. I have bought additional filters in a separate kit.Regards!

Yes, mine was. The box I received was a 4-pack. They were in one box, folded in half. The only notation on the box that indicated that more than one filter was included was a note on the back stating that this was an "annual usage pack". It went on to say, "It is recommended you replace the Activated Carbon Pre-filter every three months. Whirlpool brand offers pre-filters in this convenient annual pack to last an entire year and reduce your trips to the store." I hope this answers your question.

The carbon pre-filter and a Hepafilter come with the purifier. When I run the machine at high speed 24/7, I vacuum the carbon filter once a week, the hepa filter has stayed clean and I've never vacuumed or replaced it

Yes, It does come with a set of filters (3). They seem to last for quite a long time, so, while pricy you don't change them often.

I believe it came with one filter but I would order more filters as you will need to change them frequently at first

It comes with a pack of 4 carbon filters. You change the carbon filters every 3 months. The true HEPA filter lasts for a year (it has a filter light that comes on the unit and tells you when to replace.) Then you need to buy a new pack of filters which you get one true HEPA filter and 4 carbon filters (enough for another year). I paid about $60 on Amazon. I can't see how you could "wash" the HEPA filter without compromising the effectiveness. This is the best air purifier ever. I am going to purchase another. We leave it on the auto sensory all the time and it adjusts automatically. It is worth every penny and is quiet! It comes with a pack of 4 carbon filters.

It comes with one filter. Just received this unit about 6 weeks ago, so cannot tell how long it lasts.

It came with 1 filter, then you have to buy a new one when its time to replace it. However be sure you can still get this filter, the last order I placed they told me the company has gone out of business.

It comes with one filter, but then you need to purchase a new filter, maybe every few months or so.It comes with a schedule for when you should replace them. They are not expensive.
