Quality is not so good for the cost$$

I got these filters as replacements to put in my ‘GermGuardian RAC5350B’ air sanitizer.Surprisingly easy to install. You just slide them right into the machine with the black carbon filter facing towards the back.I have two cats who love to spread their fur and odors (especially now that they’re shedding their winter coats), pollen and other air particulate concerns (yay, Spring season), and now (of course) Covid-19 concerns, so I thought it about time to restart my Hepa+UV light anti-microbial air filters/sanitizers.No doubt, the air felt way fresher and it smelled better in my apartment after starting up my two towers again with new filters.I do wish the carbon filter was thicker though, it seems thin and isn’t really well attached to the plastic surrounding the filter. — There is a photo showing this, and also you can see how black (and clean) the filter used to be by looking at the side that faces the rest of the air filter compared to the side I had just cleaned off that faces the intake of the machine. There’s noticeable reduction in the amount of fur floating around, and odors are also reduced (not completely erased, but the closer the filter is to the source of the odor, like the litter box, the more effective it is).Whatever was in the air that would make my nose itch and trigger allergies (I’m guessing pollen) is reduced to the point that I am no longer bothered by symptoms. I feel this is likely attributable to the air filter, because if I go outside for a jog I’ll wind up coming home with a runny nose and the allergy symptoms that I used to have occurring at home.It’s not like I can say my family hasn’t gotten sick because of the filters, since its the UV element of the machine that degrades microbes. But hey, it is overall another element that adds peace of mind at home.It’s a bit strange to me that it is recommended to physically clean off the filter once a month to keep it working most effectively, and then replace completely every few months, but it isn’t too big a deal. Actually, because of how my tower works, larger particles can get stuck to the intake of the filter (see photo) which I can wipe off with a duster and that reminds me to clean off the filter itself as well (also shown in photos). I just use a Swiffer duster to wipe the machine and the actual filter.Overall, I’m very happy with the filters and the machine that they are placed within. I feel they work well and are worth the price.

So I live in California. The recently fires caused the air quality to go to hazardous levels. I was waking up with bloody nose and all the pets had respiratory issues. It burned and really hurt to breathe. The filters arrived in the middle of the fires. It helped within 30 minutes. Our stress levels went down as well because you go into flight or fight mode when the air quality is horrible. I will be repurchasing. I vacuum the filters ever 3 months and noticed that it prolongs their life span. These are new and improved so I cant speak to the longevity of them at this time. My only complaint is the price. I have 2 machines and $71.00 (including tax) every 6 months is a bit much. I may try the generic brand next.

They work good. Still not a fun thing to spend money on. Way to expensive when you take into account the product is paper not gold. Essentially paying for the design. If they lowered the price of the filters we would buy a machine for every room. Too costly. Please lower the price. Please.

I sew a lot. And with sewing, cutting and serging fabric, there is a lot of airborne fine fibers. Before using these filters in my air cleaner, I would cough a lot. Not anymore.We use one for the bedroom. It is especially great during pollen season. We sleep better.

My wife suffers with allergy's of all kind, this Guardian clean air machine is fantastic, so good, I bought another one.

The charcoal part of product was a bit more flimsy than original. But maybe that's intentional so air can flow more easily. All in all, I'm happy.

Living in Victoria, forest fire smoke covers the city in August, and the HEPA filter help to clean the air.

Good product. No problem with installation.

Very easy to install.
