Do the filters wear out/ever need to be replaced?

Not that I've experienced. I had my last bodum for 5 years. I dropped it and it broke. You can bu replacement parts but I wanted a bigger one.

Nope, Ive now had mine for quite a while and everything is working just fine. No filters needed.

Mine is still new but I have smaller french presses and they have been in use for several years and I don't see a need to ever replace them.

I bought this as a gift for my sister but I have owned one for many years. I have never had to replace the mesh part of the press. I have had to replace the glass part but that was my own fault (dropped it in the sink). I love these. The coffee comes out great consistently. Just make sure to clean it gently and it should last years.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

I assume your asking if the filter needed to be replaced and the answer is no. That said, after several weeks of continuous operation there was more dust on the outside of the unit than the filter. I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.

The filter is on the bottom of the unit and can be replaced with just your hands. The filter is a simple pinch and pull it out of the bottom and to replace push in the new one. I don't know how often the filter needs replaced but I use it monthly minimum since Aug 2013 and the filter is still fine.

Clean the filter after each use, or when the Neato tells you to. As for replacing the filter, I purchased a set of spares and rotate the use of them, allowing me to always have a clean, dry filter in case my little "dumbot" fills up before finishing the job.

We have two of the units and find that the filters cannot be cleaned and reused; instead, they must be replaced. It would be nice if re-usable/cleanable replacement filters were available.

It depends on your use but I try to change once a year. I have gone much longer though and have not noticed any degradation in the taste of the water. The filters really make a difference.

I've found that vacuuming the filter and cleaning extends the life of the filter, buy you'll eventually have to replace the filter

Sorry, I cannot help you. I have never had to replace a filter at all. I wash mine, let them dry and then put them back in the unit and turn it on.

I change mine every 6 to 9 months. It greatly depends on how wet the conditions are, and how good the inside filter does. All depends on how bad the system enviroment is.

The filters will last for many years. Scrub them clean with the scrubby side of a sponge on a regular basis is all you need to do. I would NOT suggest using chemical cleaners on the filters.

The heating & air conditioning system I have recommends every 6 months. I know if you don't change them when the filter is dirty it will shorten the life of some components, particularly the fan motor due to the additional load caused by restricted air flow through the filter.

I am not sure. I washed mine and air dryed the filters until they needed replacing. The filters are hard to find because the model of my vacuum is not made anymore. My vacuum is still going strong though.

Hello- I haven't had to replace anything yet. I use this at our place at the beach. The only thing I've had to do so far is vacuum the filter. That says a lot considering our place is beachfront and the wind is constantly blowing dust and sand into any possible opening it can find.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. As long as you take care of it it last a long time.

Really clean the filter or replace it. We need to clean the filter at least every two weeks of use.

I have heard that if the filters aren't replaced regularly the water flow is affected. Not sure if this will help your problem but it's something to consider.
