Do I have to change the filter after so much area is covered?

It depends on how much of the filter is covered. I change the filter before each time I use it.

I actually copied the way the filter was in the Hamilton Beach to begin with and then placed the filter. I did notice the replacement filter was a bit larger, however does not seem to impede the process of the fan. I do hope this helps.

I check the filter after the winter heating season and at the end of summer. Depending on use, I change filters once or twice a year.

If I understand the question, the answer is no. The filter goes into the red center piece, replacing only the used filter currently in this center piece.

Very good question - there is no way to change the filter so no way to know. We've just kept ours on for years and hope it's still doing the job.

Mine did this too. I bought a whole new one instead of filters. It's only a few bucks more and you dont have to mess with the filter even if its a little wasteful.

Also depends on how often you are running your system. In the mild Pacific Northwest, I probably use it 20% of the time I did in NC. Annually or more frequent if the filters look dirty.

I didn't use mine long enough to need a filter change. But from experience with other humidifiers, you should change the filter when it becomes discolored. The filter is you wick for moving the water to the top. When you notice a change in the amount of steam, the wick is no longer effective.

It will cover a pretty good sized area, provided that you keep the filters clean. I have mine in a room that is about 15' x 20', and it works great.

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.

It's been a while since I've changed mine but it just takes some effort to work the new filter over the original basket.you have to remove old filter first being careful not to break it or damage the original basket.then you have to work the rubber opening of the move filter over the basket and making sure it is completely sealed around the basket securely.that's the best way I know how to describe it.o piece you've done it once you'll catch on quickly of how to do it next time

Next time improvise a filter in front of it, like a cloth or some screen on it so it won't get dirt, and you just need to clean the filter you had place. :)

What I did was vacuum the actual blue filter thoroughly as it really didn't look very dirty even though I got a "change filter" message. Then I washed the plastic grid piece it fits into thoroughly and let it dry. I reassembled it and still got a change filter message. However, I discovered there is a tiny "reset filter" hole near the top of the inside of the unit where you place the filter. I stuck a paperclip in the hole and pushed, and now it's behaving as if it has a brand new filter! I think maybe if this is done on a regular basis that you can get a lot more use out of this unit, even though the filters are "no longer available."

of course filters need to be replaced. try reading the description of item before asking such rediculous questions.

I would think changing it would not be an issue for quite a while. I only use it once per month. The current filter should stay good for a long time at that usage rate. When the time comes, I will rinse the filter and put back in for as long as I can.

You do have to buy filters and cut them to fit your last filter-no big deal to change it, and they are pretty inexpensive. It will work in a large living room although you may have to change the filter more often. I change mine about every nine months for a medium size bedroom.

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.
