Can anyone comment on roughly how long a set of filters can be expected to last?

I just changed my carbon filter, it lasted 3 months. I use this air cleaner in a 1400 Square Foot retail store 5 days a week. so far I am satisfied with the functioning.

I've been changing the charcoal ones about three months(that's what they say to do),and that seems to be working out ok. You can take the cover off, and see how much stuff has accumulated on the filter, and I guess make your own determination. Have not changed the HEPA yet, I will probably go for the year, and see if it looks like it needs to be changed. It probably will. It's my feeling that most companies have spent lots of $$$$$ testing their products under varying conditions, and have set up the change intervals to optimize performance. 04/12/2014 Just changed the complete set of filters after about a year. The red HEPA light came on, and I ordered a complete set. I figure the cost is about a quarter a day. Not an issue for the increase in air quality. Hint: (1)Press and hold the reset button until it blinks, then it will go out.(2) Use a small hand vac with brush to clean the sensor area, it will pick up impurities quicker, hence, the fan speed increases quicker and doesn't have to run faster as long. After a year, we are completely satisfied with the EL500.

Yes, you get one set of filters with the housing. They should last up to 6 months depending on how much you use it.

I have had mine in them since March. Have not had to replace them yet. I attach it to a concrete grinder and it keeps up with the fine silica dust without losing suction. Filters are built to last. I also have the $150 hepa filters.

It depends on the quality of the water being filtered. If the water is murky, the filters will need to be cleaned more often and may last only one year. If the water is clear, the filters may last up to four years.

They also sell those filters right here on Amazon. Just look up filter H, i believe thats the code abbreviation for this particular model. Theyre around 8 bucks, but I hear they last long!

The unit figures that out for you depending upon how you use it and at what speed. My filters seem to last about 9 months or so.

They are the size of a large index card 5" by 9" and fit the unit perfectly. I suspect you will get at least 3 months out of a filter. I have even rinsed them off in a pinch and put back in.

Filters will last several years if they stay protected in the original packaging

The filter lasted approx. 6 months. It would all depend on the quality of your water. This one was used in an apt. setting with city water, so I thought is was well worth the money.

I'd say the two-month time on each filter applies if you're using it a lot, say 5 liters a day. Otherwise, you can keep it for 3-4 months.

It comes with the filters and they last 12 years! I hope I can remember to change them!

We easily get 3 months from each filter. If you use A/C 24/7 I'd say every 2 months.

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.

Of course it ultimately depends on the environment you're in I've read that they last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, so far I have yet to change mine. I open it periodically to look at it and it is still pretty clean, the black pre-filter catches more and needs replacing more in my opinion. With four dogs I'm thinking of replacing the black filter soon on mine but it does come with extras when you buy it. It does have a filter light that will come on when the main filter needs to be changed as well.

Yes, but only 1 if I recall correctly. A single filter should last about 3 months.

The pre-filters seem to last about 4-6 months. We have dogs and that may affect filter life, although they may be on an automatic countdown timer.

I have used these filters for the past 1 1/2 years without any problems. Sorry you encountered a problem.
