Does this model require a filter?

No, the filter is optional. It does come with a foam wet/dry screen that is required and a dry dust filter for household dust. If you have finer dust (such as drywall) you will need a finer particulate filter.

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.

No. It does not come with filter. I clean mine out, let them thoroughly dry and reuse them. No problems.

No filters needed. But if you install it with a direct plumbing line you do need to install an ice machine/refrigerator filter indeed. You don't "have" to, BUT I highly recommend it.

yes, there is a filter but this is a unreliable kettle. I bought 5 months ago. when it worked it is okay, not the best. It started leaking and I have to ship it back for a refuns

Hi Peter, this machine does not need a paper filter, it already has a filter that you can wash every time you use it.

There are no filters necessary, but you will need to take it apart to clean it occasionally as you will get mineral build up around the heater and on the plastic.

No filters, but will require cleaning from time to time. I want to also stress that this a a small unit and is only good for one small room.

I don't know if that model needs one or not. If it does, there will be at least one in the package when you receive it. The filter is good for about three months on average so you'll have time to order more.

no....it did not have any filters except for the bottom under the power supply. So far it has done fine without any filters in the front two fans. A little build up in the screen but I just wipe it off.

No, it doesn't have any kind of filter that I have ever seen. it's a very simple design.

I haven't used that model. There is a tag on the machine at the base that will list the filter it uses. I hope that helps.

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

I don't believe their is a filter . only a water demineralization cartridge in that unit . if you go too the unit info from manufacturer it will say no filter to clean ..

No it does not have a filter, a huge plus the way I see it. :) I've had 2 of these for over 2 years and have been great considering it's kind of an unknown brand. Super quiet and no issues with proper cleaning. Lagged longer than the Homedics brand I had previously.

No. It has a filter basket. If I may add, I believe this to be one of the best perculators I ever used. Hope I helped you in any way. Aloha!
