does this model have the carbon or charcoal side included in the filter?

I am fairly certain that it does. My service technician told me which filter to buy for my unit and that is the one I purchased and it was installed.

I got a new 403 6 months ago and it had charcoal. I didn't open it up to see, but you could smell it when first starting with the new filter. The smell went away in a few hours as the instructions said it would.

Hi there! It comes with a small carbon filter but I don't recall if it gives you re-ordering info.I personally threw it out. Dogs drink water out of the toilet, puddles, etc...so I didn't see a need for a filter.

There is a rubber seal that is on the filter itself, which may be a good thing as it is replaced with each filter (once a year). In addition, it is an excellent basic unit that removes a great deal of particles, especially dust. I take the charcoal pre-filter out every two weeks to vacuum it as if picks up a great deal of dust from the air. We dust much less since we purchased this unit.

Carbon filters. You don't need it since it only removes a rubbery-like taste / smell from the stainless steel boiler lid gasket.

There is not a lot of carbon in the filter cartridge but it is very fine. I rinsed mine only because I always have done it, buy it is better to rinse away the carbon dust. In other words, it takes seconds, yes.

It comes with 2 filters, one is paper hepa. The other is charcoal. Life of filters, should be 3 months for charcoal, 1 year for paper. I have owned unit about 2 months. There are filter lights to indicate when filters need to be changed. I am happy with the unit so far.

Yes, it has a charcoal filter, and it is easy to remove and replace. It requires removing two #2 Phillips head screws and a plastic cover.

It comes with 2 filters. One activated charcoal filter and a hepa filter. Replacement filters are expensive. About $80 for both filters. However, the filters last two years. It is very easy to add a third cut to fit charcoal mat pre-filter in front of the activated charcoal filter. I do this and replace it every four months to preserve the original filters. It's a very nice air filter. Quiet and energy efficient.

Yes it does come with one filter. Yes I would go ahead and keep an extra filter or two on hand. They do work nice and collect. I rinse mine off, but will need changed soon. Not sure why, but my filter's charcoal was pieces, my son opened the filter, removed the charcoal, and now I just have a filter to catch hair and dirt. We use a water filter on our faucet, so do not need the charcoal.

Filter has carbon to help reduce odors. Works very well and removes the strongest cooking odors with ease.

It's a small mesh covered charcoal filter that fits very easily at the bottom of the water reservoir. You're supposed to change it every 2-3 mos. We haven't done done so yet because it's brand new.

It is a filter similar to your air filter. It fits right into the existing frame. Just take the old filter out and slide the new one in the frame. Works great and is a LOT cheaper than having someone professionally do it. No activated charcoal, not needed.

Picture is wrong. Actual filter is a set of 2 rectangular ones. Cannot confirm for 2011 model but it worked for the 2010 C300. Note that original MB filter looked to have activated carbon while the one I got was was paper. Works fine however.CORRECTION: The activated carbon filters are separate from these filters. The carbon filters have a special slot just above these filters so you should be fine ordering this set assuming the 2011 C300 is the same as the 2010 C300 (mine). All the web videos I've seen don't show the carbon filters so I'm not sure if it's necessary to keep (I left mine in there) and I can't seem to find a part # for them either. Picture is wrong.

The charcoal filter is separate from the mesh filter. However, the charcoal filter is designed to (and does) fit very nicely within an indentation engineered into the back of the mesh filter frame and is attached with 2 push on metal clips. No tools necessary. Very simple.

It does come with the reusable filters if you are going to vent it, but not with the charcoal filters if used not vented

I have a DCC-1200 series and the charcoal filters work well. Prior to purchasing from Amazon I bought them at Bed-Bath-Beyond. Hope this was some help.
