What does it comes with? Does all the filters come with it? Is it ready to use out of the box?

Comes with all of the filters. Just need to click everything in place and plug into the wall!

Yes it comes with everything, just remember to take off the plastic on all of the filters. I honestly LOVE the heck out of this thing, I keep it on every night and breathe great in the morning. Remember to clean the pre-filter every few weeks since it's simple and increases the life of the HEPA filters. Also, the black filter seems to leave residue on the HEPA filter, I recommend taking it off (unless you are using this for filtering smells, since that's what the black filter is for).

Yes. All filters come with it and are good for months before replacement is needed.

Yes, it comes with all the filters and is ready to use out of the box. It's easy to operate and maintain.

Mine came with a filter. I didn't install, but the person who did seemed to have everything he needed (i.e. he didn't tell me we needed other parts/equipment). Filters lasts about 6 mos.

This is the second unit I have purchased so I wanted extra filters. It comes with one of each of the two filters it uses.

I believe it comes with enough to get started. So if its a dual filter system, it should come with two filters. Buying the filters on amazon is really cheap so I would buy extra, so you don't have to worry when your ready to do a water change.

Yes it comes with the required filter...so it's ready to use. Some would recommend buying a 2nd filter at a pool supply so while one is being soaked and cleaned in detergent, you have a second filter to keep the pump running. It's nice to have a back up.

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 comes with one filter. If you are going to use a lot it would be wise to get a backup. I hope this helps.

Yeah it does come ready to use, carbon and media are included, my only issue is the tubes clogged with some white stuff pretty quickly and the tubes are a friggin pain to detach, that being said i dont think this filter is enough for a 55gal which is what i have but if its a bit smaller this thing should do ok.

Yes. A complete set of filters is included in the box. Pre-filter is good for 3 months and the main filters last 1 year.

When I bought this late last year, I had the same question. The unit did not come with the filter - which seemed odd. I bought the filter later on. Hope that helps.

Filters came with mine although I know that at least one reviewer said theirs came without. Maybe it depends on which seller you buy from?

It comes with everything purchased new. You can order back up filter media or retro fit your own. It comes with charcoal and sponges to get it going. You will be able to during the first change keep a sponge or two and replace the others to keep a bacteria colony. Its really convenient.

no, it comes with a permanent, reusable filter. it's worked fine for me, and saves me the trouble of fooling with paper filters!

It is a complete setup. Some will say to add more filter media. But, out of the box, it is ready to go.I added some Purigen Packs in the top tier. Some I know will add some Bio Media every so often to keep building growth.the good thing is you can mix and match or add things and adjust. Also, please note it comes with Charcoal Packs for the top, I believe I heard after about a month's usage charcoal is basically finished.Hope that helps out.

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. You will have to replace it after a long period of use, but the cost is minimal.
