Are the air filters washable?

Yes, I've taken the filter in the upright section out several times and washed it. It's a spongey foam material that takes a bit of time to dry fully, but it can be washed. Leave it out for a solid 24 hrs to dry after washing, though, because even the slightest moisture will gunk up the filter with dirt.

yes, they are washable, but don't put in dryer....they will shrink and not fit. I have has poor experience with this product.

No the HEPA filters are made to be replaced. HEPA filters are the best designed filters to clean even microscopic particles out of the air but are not made to be washed.

Don't know how long they can be washed and reused. Just bought mine. But for the price if they last four times you're way ahead of the Eureka throw away filters.

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.

According to kaz.com which is the manufacturer the filter should be vacuumed not washed."The permanent HEPA filters are easy to clean - simply vacuum and replace back into the unit. "http://www.kaz.com/kaz/air-purifiers/products/honeywell-tower-air-purifier-hht-090/

No, this is not washable material. Nor can you vacuum it.If you want to be able to wash the filter use a nylon weave type

No, there are two cone-shaped filters that can be washed inside the dust collector. I really recommend this product. It is great for quick daily pickups.

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.

I am not sure there is any way to really clean it. I think you may need to but replacement filters. I don't think that they were meant to be washed.

Sorry to be so late ... but no the filter is stainless steel so all you need to do is to wash regularly..

I'm almost certain that they can be washed. Also there's a year warranty on them so try to contact the seller in you want them replaced.

It is not washable. I change when they get dirty, about 3-4 months. I put them in front of the HEPA filter so the HEPA lasts much longer. as they are much more expensive.

Yes. They don't take very long to dry. We have two and I rinse them and then let them air dry for 10 minutes or more. I may towel dry them if they are still damp. We love these filters. Worth every penny. Hope this helps.

No, they are not. Though you could wash them on some surfaces. See my review here for more details http://www.amazon.com/review/R304IL90M10VM7/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B000F5SF52

Yes! They wash up perfect! I just rinse in hot water until all the dirt is gone and then let dry for a couple of days. I wash filters several times before I have to change them out - it makes them last longer and the vacuum runs better because of it, too.
