Since this is a bagless vacuum, how often would I need to change the filter if at all? If I do need to change filters which one should I purchase?

There are no bags to change. A red light on top lights up when the canister eeds to be emptied

There is no filter to wash. Just pull the filter conpartment off the vacuum, press a button and empty. Vacuum has great suction and picks up everyday dirt. Use in any room of the house - hardwood or carpet.

That would depend on the frequency of use ... and what you are picking up. As far as the filter replacement, I would stick with the Red Devil authorized for this machine. It really is an awesome vacuum.

Not sure of the correct answer to your question but I wash the one that I can and the other one i clean it by high-pressure air I replaced it because the one that I keep blowing out with air was to the point where it could not be cleaned any further so I replaced all four filters and hopes to keep my vacuum in better shape I have had the vacuum cleaner for over three years and this is the first time I replace the filters

The prefilter gets pretty dusty - in a pinch you can vacuum it, but it generally needs to be swapped out about 3 or 4 times a year. I've replaced the HEPA filter after about 2 yrs .

Replacement filters may be purchased direct from the manufacturer. Honestly we only need to replace them once a year as I clean the machine once a month with a vacuum/ brush and microfiber cloth. We've all had our filters (2-3 in each housed) for 4-5 years. I just bought a new one for another bedroom. Excellent air purifiers.

Yes and no. The vacuum has two filters. One filter sits behind the vacuum bag and you see it every time that you change the bag. This filter is not a HEPA filter and the MC-V194H filter does not fit. However, the second filter fits in a panel on the top of the vacuum and the MC-V194H filter does fit there. My understanding is that the second filter is considered optional and is there to reduce emissions. The first filter has a warning saying do not run the vacuum without the filter. I have had no success in finding a replacement for the first filter.

I love my Floormate! I bought an extra filter for future use rather than try and finding one later. Unless you are cleaning VERY dirty floors, I don't think they need to be changed too often.

Around 3 months ... depending on the level of dirt. When I first got Neato, I had to change filters about every week or so, but now that it's keeping carpets much cleaner for me, it's about every 3 months.

The filter can be changed either 6 months or a year, but you must remove the front panel and vacuum off any debris about every 2 months, depending on how dirty it gets will determine how often you have to do this.

So far I have not had to buy a filter for it. The filter is very easy to clean. When the filter/vacuum is too full of dust it won't suck up very much. SO make sure to wash it out regularly

There are replacement filters available. I purchased through Amazon. The filter may also be rinsed , you need to allow it to dry before use. I love this vacuum, my only complaint is that the dirt cup is small, but overall I love this vacuum.

We vacuum about once a week on average (2000 sqft). The bag-change indicator never seems to indicate that a bag change is needed, so we just change the bag every couple months or so.

I love this vacuum! After a while the filter will get clogged with dust and dirt. I have tried washing it but I don't feel it works as well as having a new filter.

Well that's up to you, regardless of what vacuum you buy you will have to clean filters if you want to work like its brand new. cleaning consists running them under water and letting them dry. Im not the Bissell sales person but I like this vacuum and I looked around a lot. Hope it helps-End feed.

I don't think you need to buy a replacement filter. I keep vacuuming mine and it does great.

and usage...if you run it 24/7. I would change every three or four months. Some folks just vacuum the filters. I'm goona try it.)

I bought replacements w the vacuum but I haven't had to use them yet. Instead when I go to empty the vacuum, I also clean out the filter (I use gloves and a face mask, I def wouldn't do it without those things).Otherwise, I'd probably switch it out every month or so (I use it to vacuum my studio).

I've been testing my new Botvac80 the past couple days. On the first few cleaning runs the dust bin fills up and I have to take it out and clean it (very quick and easy) plus clean the filter and possibly the brush (takes 5min or less) Shouldn't be expensive to maintain if the filter lasts several months with regular cleaning, but only time will tell. Right now extra filters are not in stock and it might be quite sometime before the price comes down on them too. Hopefully the brush and battery will last a long time too and not need expensive replacement, but that too only time will tell.
