1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, November 4, 2006

The filter does not catch the majority of the dust, leaving the inner pocket filter to do the job. Both the inner and this electrostatic filter need cleaning after one day at the lathe. The inner filter takes a full day to dry, that means a down time ($$). The non-washable filter by JET is good. It just needed tapping to clean. After 4 or 5 cleanings the inner filter would also need to be cleaned. Soooooo disappointed with the washable filter. I now tape a furnace filter in front as a prefilter to the electrostatic filter. What a waste.

I ordered this and got the nice metal framed version, not sure what happened to the other guy. It works good, even has an X brace on the back to keep the filter material from sagging.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its a Washable Filter, May 16, 2008

I don't know where the others have issues or questions with this filter. I have used the same cleanable filter for 2 1/2 years. When it's dirty, spray it with a hose from the back to the front (so you don't imbed the dirt into the fibers, just like cleaning a car's air filter with compressed air). Then set it somewhere to drip dry. Best done at the end of the day because it takes a few hours to dry. That's all there is to it. I didn't give it the fifth star because there is no element support on the front, so when you spray it the element tends to lose its louvered shape a little. But the first time you turn the Air Filtration System back on, it sucks the element back into shape, and besides it doesn't reduce the filtering capacity.

And before running out to buy furnace filters, compare the micron filteration of the two. If you get a cheapo furnace filter you're just reducing the effectiveness of the Air Filtration System.
