I'd like to know the answer to this also. Last time I was on Aerus' website I still didn't see the filters. Most motors have carbon dust in them anyway to a certain degree don't they? |

The electric motor's carbon brushes release a significant amount of carbon dust into the exhaust air, hence the reason for the after-motor filter. The tiny amount of carbon particles that might enter the motor fans will pass through and be caught on the post-motor filter - just as the carbon residue from the carbon brushes is caught now. No need to worry. Simplicity/Riccar/Maytag vacuums have carbon pre-motor filters and we never see problems from them.
