The filter is the real necessity -after you use the Flip-it you can rinse out the filter and set it out to dry. Put the second (dry) filter in the unit so you're ready to go next time. Then, just keep alternating.
Granted, if you only have one filter you can let it dry and then put it back in. But, I tend to forget to do that, so having 2 filters makes it more convenient.
The cloths last a long time -wish Bissell provided 2 filters and one cloth in the kit. But, fair price for what you get.

I own the Bissell Flip-It wet/dry vacuum cleaner. I have had occasional problems with the vacuums filter getting wet and or clogged with debris thus reducing its ability to vacuum up the dirty water from the floor. Aggravating! The extra filter would significantly reduce this aggravation. Extra cleaning pads are good to have available for replacement of the primary pad if it becomes extremely dirty. Pads then can be machine washed for future use.Pro: With this kind of cleaning equipment, a back-up filter and cleaning pads are a necessity.
Con: Would have also like to get an additional filter and one brush with this accessory kit (priced accordingly with regard to a kit purchase).
Recommendation: Purchase on sale and definitely with free shipping to justify cost. I have found these items packaged separately at higher price at other stores. Con would not exist if Bissell had included brush and additional brush. Purchase would have earned 5 stars if the items in the Con area had been included.
Tip: Be sure to always dry vac. hard floor before using wet vac. Yes it sounds obvious, but having once forgot to dry vac. floor before washing, the amount of time to wet vac. floor was ridiculous. Brush and pad needed constant cleaning. Filter was worse, greatly reduced vacuum draw of dirty water due to blockage by debris, especially pet hair. Almost considered using garden hose to wet down floor and then squeegee the mess out the kitchen door. Not a good thing!
