Yes, they are washable and very easy to remove. Add water to them at the sink and rinse them clean, wring out and you are good to go.

Yes the post-motor filter (the black one) is washable, the pre-motor filter (its white and pleated) IS somewhat washable but the pleats might wear a bit. Might be best just to wipe it down with a damp cloth vs. submerging it in water. Make sure when you wash the filters to let them dry at least 24 hours before using the vacuum again, you will want them to be completely dry or sometimes you get a musty smell.

You can wash the filter, but it takes awhile to dry. I bought two HEPA filters for it, so there's a dry one to put in when I (occasionally) wash the other one.

The first filter is washable but it can turn yellow or brown over time. I tend to replace these every year or two. The second filter is a carbon filter. Carbon filters are not usually washable and thus should be replaced as needed. The third is a metal screen and just needs washing. The next filter is a UV light and will need replaced in time. The final is your ozone plates.

Yeah I have washed it. the filter just fits across the opening so you could probably use any filter that isn't too long in it.

Yes. Clean and clear as can be. The only negative I have found is that they collect water in the inverted bottom of the glasses/mugs - the first time I put them through the dishwasher I got water everywhere taking them out - now that I know, it's no big deal.

Hi Margaret, I've never tried washing them in the dishwasher. I think they may just be glued and the hot and cold changes may damage the filters (and they cost too much for me to even try it).

YES FOLKS.... IT IS absolutely WASHABLE. It states so on the description page. Also states it on the filter page. Just because it is paper, does noty mean you can't wash it. I have a corded mini (floor) vac that has this kind of filter, it is washable.

This filter is washable. Because I have a Labrador inside I wash mine about once a month. Vacuuming at least once a week usually twice. I have a spare set of this filter to put use while the one I wash is drying.

Yes! Super easy to clean. filters rinse, dry, and you're ready to go. It's amazing the amount of stuff it picks up. Highly recommended!

They are washable. I put them in the washer on hot with my other cleaning cloths then hang them up to dry.

Yes it is easy to clean, but be careful around the inside base when you are changing the filter, as ours snapped off after we had it for about 6 months. KJ

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.

The filters will last for many years. Scrub them clean with the scrubby side of a sponge on a regular basis is all you need to do. I would NOT suggest using chemical cleaners on the filters.

No, they are not washable. Would shred up in a machine. You can wipe them with a damp cloth and vacuum, which is what we do. They are in okay but not great shape after two years.

Yes, they are lint free and very clean. No particles come off from these high quality filters

The filter basket & bucket are removable. I'm not sure if they're dishwasher safe, either, but they can be washed with plain soap & water. You have to be really careful with the opening at the bottom where the coffee is dispensed because it's not made well, & will break easily. The rest of the machine is easy to wipe down. I usually spray warm water in the back to rinse it out, but be careful not to get it on the electronic parts. I also run vinegar or CLR through the machine every once in awhile to clear out any deposits.
