I have the 2000 and the replaceable filters are so expensive. There are 2 parts that needs replacing every now and then.
I am trying to find a filter without replaceable parts. Maybe there are some that filter through water like carpet wet vacuums?..
You want to throw the machine out once the filters are blocked?
I have updated the post. It needs to sift air through water. Or maybe have washable filters. I do not throw my Bissell carpet wet vacuum away every time I clean a carpet, and it does not have any replaceable filters there.
But the bissell isn't doing any filtering of the water/liquids.
An air filter using water for filtration sounds like a mould/pathogen nightmare to me.
A washable filter makes more sense, but I'm sure the effectiveness of the filtration would be hindered over time.
You can wash them, but it's not a good idea. The better ones will tend to have an outer layer that traps larger particles that can be separately cleaned. HEPA traps a lot of the target particulates by electrostatic means, which are quite difficult to dislodge once locked in. The carbon filter section in VOC filters is kinda similar - if these were easily dislodged particles under home conditions, it wouldn't work very well as something you could just run at room temperature with a fan blowing on it.
If the stuff that was meant to get trapped in these filters was efficient to trap by hydrophilic/hydrophobic action like an aquarium skimmer, it would be what we use for this problem, but they often aren't, so we don't.

Thanks. Got the 1000 last time and is great but takes too long to clear the living room. Getting the 2000 and moving the 1000 to smaller room.
Really good price. Got one for my bedroom a few years ago and it hasn’t missed a beat. Tempted for a second now but think it’s just a touch too small for the living room.
