You remove the filter, run a vacuum cleaner brush over it, and reinsert it. You can also buy a replacement if it wears out or becomes damaged.

The filter is washable and reusable, if you need to replace the filter (which you shouldn't have to for at least a year), you can buy them off of the dirt devil website for a decent price.

Hi! The filter is removable plus a little black basket under that. I do clean those and the to clean the machine I run a cycle of diluted white vinegar and then clean water through two more times to keep it all nice and new. I also keep the water basin lid open if its empty and let it dry

It's washable and I have yet to wash it (probably should soon). They come with a few replacement filters as well. I can't recall exactly the specifics, but I want to say when I took it out of the box and read instructions that I figured I had three years with what they gave me.

Dear anakinheineken,Thanks for your question, it does nor include a replaced filter, and for this item, no need to replace thye filter, the most important is you can not add essential oil into it.have a nice day.RegardsMorcolor

yes the unit has 2 plates and a back filter that needs to be cleaned depending on usage

Yes, it is my understanding that this filter is cleanable. I've had it less than 6 months, so haven't had to do it yet.

Comes with cleanable filter.... IMO a new one cost 50-75$...Buy a new one unless you have a tried and true cleaning method.

It comes with a filter. But it's the kind that you wash. You shouldn't need to replace the filter unless it breaks for some reason.

No there is no filter. I did not find it necessary in my old one since we clean it every day.

Cleaning isn't required or possible, since the unit burns mold particles rather than filters air. Ours seemed very effective. We use it to reduce molds that come in from the open window. Our first unit lasted 2.5 years before burning out this past weekend. We'd already bought a second unit for a different location. I'll be buying a replacement for the one that just died.

The filters can initially be vacuumed, but at some point they do need to be replaced. We have been quite satisfied with the performance of our units. When one (we have five units) failed, the unit was replaced without a problem.

Is this the first time you've used the unit? If so, I wonder if you didn't install it correctly...? On the other hand, if you've been using the filter for some time, it probably needs to be cleaned. Remove the filter, let it dry, then scrub with sandpaper, rinse in plain water, then re-install. At least, that's what I do when the filter stops working. Eventually, I need to buy a new filter.

Clean the filter after each use, or when the Neato tells you to. As for replacing the filter, I purchased a set of spares and rotate the use of them, allowing me to always have a clean, dry filter in case my little "dumbot" fills up before finishing the job.

The filter that comes with the unit is cleanable and reusable. Just clean the filter with a spray nozzle on a garden hose. Bon chance.

You really need to replace it. It will turn grey/black with dirt. As a maintenance factor you can rinse the removable filter that covers it but when it significantly changes color, you need a new one.
