No problems here either! I will admit that it is a PITA to service the filter but well worth the effort for the performance I get over any of the conventional cai's!

every time I clean the filter I have such a hard time getting it to go back together that I want to stop it into the ground an throw it into the street. there has to be a better way.

 I have only needed to pull my Vararam once to clean the filter and I must admit it was a wrestling match to get it back on. Thought it was just me in an "all thumbs" moment. I'll tolerate the situation as I like it other than that. I'm hoping practice makes perfect for the next time.
