Quick answer

Replacing the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser 2087 hepa filter is a DIY job of about 10 minutes. Replace it Every 12 months under normal use. Full step-by-step below.

The 2087 post-motor filter sits downstream of the motor and clogs slowly, so it's easy to forget. Replace it when it stays grey after rinsing or the media is damaged; a spent post filter restricts airflow and leaks fine dust.
