Besides buying a hose & accessory kit, is there anything else I need to buy with this canister to run the unit? Does it come with the hepa filter?

Will this unit fit duckwork that was installed for an evenflo unit? In other words does it fit standard duckwork?

This unit is designed to work with pre-installed piping that runs through the home. The wall outlets must match the accessory tools. There is no hepa filter, but one is not necessary as the unit exhausts outside. This is much cleaner than a filtered vacuum.

This was a replacement for us. We had everything already. But I would recommend the vac. Head with a beater bar, as I do not have . We do not have a filter. But this should be vented outside. You never get any type of dust or odor coming back into the house. That's one of the great pluses of a central vac

It does have a hepa filter. Hose and head is all you need. Power head is recommended.

This is a bagless unit. The filter comea with the unit. If you already had a central vac installed and you are replacing the power unit, you shouldn't need anything else.

it only comes with the connecting hose for the equipment , one filter and a dust bag, wonderful piece of equipment. very silent ,

The bag serves as the filter. Another thing to consider. The part of the canister that holds the bag is attached by a twisting motion on the vac. I have had a lot of problems with the canister simply popping open while using the vac. It is a real annoyance. The vac has plenty of power, but with the canister constantly popping apart while in use, I find it practically useless.

I bought the unit, and the install kit, and the filter, all sold separately. We've had everything for a year now, working well. Just remember to keep the filter changed on a regular basis, and keep the unit clean.

It is really worth it to spend the extra $50 and get the Active AirClean 30 filter which is the best Hepa miele has and the exact same one Miele uses in the higher level models. It fits really tightly and it seals into place with a rubbery thread around the bottom, unlike the one that comes with it. (Although that one is very very good as well.)

No, it has a synthetic fiber pad that sits underneath the bag chamber and that's it, if you want hepa filtering, look for a vacuum that states it clearly in the description, also I found the bags do not seal adequately and as such a lot of dust goes past the bag opening and gets sort of trapped in the synthetic mesh pad I described earlier.

Yes, it comes with a foam-like pre-filter and a permanent hepa filter in it. Just vacuum the dust out to keep it fresh!

The particular model I purchased came with the hose sections ( you have to assemble them, real easy) and everything else I needed. The vacuum works great as long as you go by the step by step directions.

Yes; a wrapped new HEPA-type filter is included. The one thing I jave learned with air filtration systems is that you can get all qualities of filters, from activated charcoal, to Hepa-type, to true Hepa. This is my second identical unit (for another room) and it works very well. What I have done is use the filter that comes with the unit, and when it is time, I replace it with a true Hepa, which is only a few bucks more.

Mine came with hose & regulator assembly. Did not have to purchase anything, just mount it & connect it.

no, you have to hook the hose up to your filter and the filter acts as the vaccum.

The machine comes with one dust and one hepa filter. I bought the machine a year ago and have replaced the dust filters twice (800 square foot apartment). I would recommend purchasing additional dust filters when you get this machine. At the current rate, the hepa filter that came with my machine should last another three years before I would need to replace it.

The hose comes with it but you will need more hose, abs pipe and attachments to make a decent system. As noted by Mr. Roushdi buy quality hose designed for vacuum. My collector's housing came somewhat damaged and took some re-bending of the assembly but it seems to be working fine. For the cost, I got what I paid for.

I think the physical vacuums are the same but the HEPA or $495 vacuum comes with the HEPA bag/filter/screw kit. I bought the the HEPA version just about 6 months ago and it was $368, so it was definitely cheaper to buy the HEPA version outright instead of the HEPA accessory package and the vacuum separarely. Now it seems it's $100 cheaper to to buy the vacuum and HEPA kit separately. Don't forget you also need to buy the foam filter to use this as a wet vac, it is not included and don't think of using this to vacuum joint compound dust without the HEPA kit or you'll kill it. It is an amazing quiet powerful vacuum, just irritating you have to buy everything separately.

Contact John Chen at, sales@ispringfilters.com. He can give you exact items needed. They also sell filter supplies for this unit and can answer any tech questions you may have. I rate them 5 stars, higher if there was such a thing I've been their customer for 3 years and have had this system and have had excellent service from them.

it's a good idea to buy the HEPA filter regardless of how you plan to use the vac. the upgraded filters are very easy to wash off so they last a long time.

Actually, it does not come with the HEPA Air Clean filter. It comes with some sort of HEPA filter, but if you really have allergy problems, you will want the HEPA Air Clean filter, which is $50. Other models do come with it. Check the chart on this site provided by Miele for comparison.
