Buying Advice

Vacuum filters come in two types: washable (foam, felt) and disposable (HEPA paper). Washable filters should be rinsed monthly under cold water and air-dried completely for 24+ hours before reinstalling — a damp filter will damage the motor. Disposable HEPA filters cannot be washed and should be replaced every 6-12 months. For pet households, cut these intervals in half.
