how long do the filters last and can you buy them at a local store?

So far they have lasted about 6 months. As to buying locally, I haven't found any store that sells them.

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

I have read on a reliable site, that the black filters will last indefinitely. However, they said if the filters are going to be stored for long periods of time, put them in a re-sealable plastic bag, so that the filters do not absorb any air born contaminates. Jim Imel

Don't know how long they can be washed and reused. Just bought mine. But for the price if they last four times you're way ahead of the Eureka throw away filters.

Mine last about 3 months even though I used it a little longer until I ended up ordering a 3 pack. There's also a sensor that tells you when the filter is done.

According to the instructions, they will last 30-40 fillings of the tank. In my case it is about every 3 months which is similar to the older filters.

When I bought the system it said on the box that for a family of 4 the filter should last about 1 year or something like that - now depending also of usage. I would at least change it once a year even twice in fact as I got more filters with my last order.

That's about it... The one that came with the cleaner lasted about that long as well.. After average use of once a week and occasional cleaning of the filter, I replace them in 10-12 months. If you have pets, more often probably!!

The filter lasted approx. 6 months. It would all depend on the quality of your water. This one was used in an apt. setting with city water, so I thought is was well worth the money.

I have had mine for a little over a year with no wear and tear. I wouldn't be surprised if the filter lasts for another 2 years. I put it through its paces, using it every other day for a few mins and for extended periods while cleaning once a month.

You would have to ask the manufacturer of the filters for that info.....I'm just a consumer :)

I have the older model of Oreck Air Puriifer, my store in RI sold the replacement filters for $50. (that is when I gave up on my air purifier) They used to see the filters at a reasonable price, but claimed the $50 filter would last longer. I no longer use it.

These filters last practicly forever, if you keep them clean they don't realy wear out, if you are filtering tap water you will need to clean them once or twice a year, more often if the water is more contaminated. They do filter very slowly so you might consider adding extra filters to speed up the process, I have 3 in mine and I'm adding a fouth. Otherwise these filters work fantastik!

We've used Pur filters for quite awhile and they always lasted me months. But this last batch of filters have had the same problem as everyone else here. The filters are lasting about two weeks. They never used to do that! I'm angry, too. These things are expensive and to replace them is going to be expensive.

The little black discs are the filters they are about 5 millimeters in size. You are supposed to replace them after each use. You can buy an extra bag of them for $25.

We have to replace our filters about every 4-6 months! We clean the filters using a vacuum which ours has a hose so I use that to get as much dirt, animal hair and the dust out as possible at least once a week! This will help make the filters last a lot longer!! We love them since we're out in the country by big oil wells we get a whole lot of dust so these work great!
