How often do the filters and the brushes need replacement?

The other posters must have spotless floors. We run our roomba 3x a week. Three people and a cat reside here. I change the filters about every 2 months, and bang the dust out of them before every use. You should not wash them-the water and dust you can't get out will dry into a hard film inside the filter making it very hard for air to pass through. This can burn up your vac motor. We bought our roomba in the spring 2014. Have changed the brushes out once due to wear. Another one has broken. How often you have to replace depends on how often you run your vac, what the flooring is like, and how much dirt it encounters. The other posters must have spotless floors.

Not sure how effective the filters remain if you are cleaning them under a sink like me, but I alternate them. One set always sits in the utensil drying section of my drying rack. After a few cleanings, I clean and switch. They've lasted a few years like this. However, aftermarket replacements are cheap enough that going crazy with this might be crazy. Keyboard duster cleans them perfectly (outside). The brush has lasted me a few years, but I notice it is getting pretty beat up and have just bought this to replace it. The beater brush got cut by some of my kid's doll hair. But that replacement is a bit junkier than the authentic.

Our Roomba runs every day, in a 2400 square foot house with pets and three long-haired humans. The filters we tap out every couple of days, the brushes need hair cut off them every couple of weeks. Every now and then the side brushes get washed in hot soapy water. So far the brushes are in good shape, after what? Four months? They show no sign of needing to be replaced yet.

Have had my Roomba for several months and use it 2 or 3 times per week (3,000+ square feet). I religiously clean the brushes & shake out (tap) the filters. Have not needed the extra brush & filter set that I bought "just in case". Greatest household purchase I have made in a long time!

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.

It depends on how much stuff you have in the air (I have a lot!) but the recommendation is to replace the black filter every 3 months and the big white one annually.

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

I am not sure how long I have had mine, but never replaced filters in the past. I wash them after each use. I purchased this one because I changed coffee makers.

It depends on how often you run the unit and how much dust/allergens it's filtering out of the air. If it is always running then generally the filter should be replaced every 6-8 months.

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 cleaned first filter out with small scrub type brush and used it at least four months. Neato's replacement filters were too expensive so I went online and got a replica off of eBay at fraction of cost. Got a set of four and figure it will last at minimum a year. Fit perfectly too.

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.

Really clean the filter or replace it. We need to clean the filter at least every two weeks of use.

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.

Most of the filters say replace annually, bit it really depends upon your usage. I usually replace every other year and I haven't had issues with water quality...

amazon sells replacement brushes. I find however, i prefer to just replace the whole system for the price.

One year on parts and labor from the manufacturer. I have had the pool cleaner, scooba and roomba and all have lasted well over 5 years. Need to change brushes and filters on roomba on regular basis

yes, most defiantly. I have to clean mine about every 6 months. Us a soft abrasive bush and water you should see a improvement right away. the filters are good for about 6 years.

I've only had mine for 2months..I'm not sure,but other reviewers have said they have vacuumed or lightly brushed the filter to clean.

That's about it... The one that came with the cleaner lasted about that long as well.. After average use of once a week and occasional cleaning of the filter, I replace them in 10-12 months. If you have pets, more often probably!!
