Filter Fit and Quality

Pros:

• "The filters last a while and you can see them working!!"
• "I simply snap out the dirty one, snap in the new clean one, reset the air purifier and forget about it until the next time."
• "Great filter. I took the old one out and I seen what it had collected and was shocked at how dirty it was from the smoke and cat fur."
• "The outer charcoal filter layer on this newer version of the original filter is actually a little thicker and stronger than the original one which makes it easier to occasionally vacuum and keep its shape."
• "They fit and last longer than the after market products out there, worth the expense."
• "Fits perfectly! Not the first I have bought this filter .. it works for 3 or 4 months then has to be replaced."
• "Both the carbon and hepa filters are super easy to install and do a great job."

Cons:

• "While I ensured this model would work with my purifier, the red light remains on."
• "But the filter is not working. The red light is still flashing needed to replace the filter."
• "This is the second filter we purchased. Both were faulty and caused our air purifier to say the filter was dirty After 1 day."
• "Very saddened at the decreased build quality of the upgraded HEPA filter and carbon pre-filter."
• "The filter i received doesn't fit."
• "Like other reviewers have said.... these are not the true Germ Guardian filters!"
• "This one is bit smaller than the original, it doesn't fit snug into the air purifier."

Filter Effectiveness and Maintenance

Pros:

• "Judging by how filthy they are when I change them, these filters are really pulling in dust and particles in from the air."
• "Replacement filter for air purifier. It does a great job, when the purifier tells me to change the filter it is always gross! So much dust and pet hair."
• "This refill is costly but, my stepdaughter has asthma attacks and since we purchased this and the filter the attacks went from 6 a month to zero."
• "Have been using these filters in the office for two years now, especially during this pandemic, it does give everyone a peace of mind."
• "I have not had ANY allergy issues at all."
• "Good filtration as well. When we change them they are 'clogged' with dust and lint."
• "Works as advertised and keeps our asthmatic son breathing scrubbed air."

Cons:

• "The carbon filter in front appears to be of significantly lower quality than the stock one."
• "I repeatedly buy this filter since they don't last long (about 3 months of daily use)."
• "The system just blows out lots of dry air and makes the room very stuffy."
• "The filter does a great job keeping our indoor air clean and fresh."
• "The original filter that came with the purifier lasted for years but the replacement filter lasted for a year and a half."
• "I don’t like the new replacements. They changed the design and it doesn’t last as long."
• "The filter actually does a great job of catching cat litter dust."

Customer Service and Value

Pros:

• "And the price was reasonable."
• "Little on the expensive side for a filter but it does last for awhile."
• "This is a great filter lasts a few months but does the job well - have pets and other allergens in the air we bought this for and it makes a difference."
• "Depending on how clean your house is and if you have pets these will last anywhere from 3-6 months."
• "EXCELLENT PRODUCTS FROM GERMGUARDIAN VIA AMZ."
• "The machine runs if I stuff a bit of paper on the lever and then force the filter into place."
• "I have all of the sizes on a six-month subscription so when the new one comes in I just change them."

Cons:

• "Also tried contacting their customer service per the comment they left on this review and received NO response."
• "It looks exactly the same but my purifier doesn't recognize it and continuously blinks a warning that it needs replacing."
• "I had to take a star off because $27 is a ridiculous price for what you're getting."
• "I would never purchase this again. This completely unacceptable."
• "They are too expensive to replace monthly."
• "The only thing that was disappointing was it’s almost $27 expensive for one filter not knowing how long it’s gonna last."
• "$30 for two months use is ridiculous and Amazon is not reachable."
