65% discount on air purifiers

I replace the filter in my "home-made" purifier about every month in the wintertime. (That's about two boxes of cigars.)

However, there are sooooooo many variables that the above statement is pretty much meaningless .

I will say that if you want the odor-erasing, etc., benefits of the activated charcoal, then you'll have to replace the carbon filters more often then you'll want to.

A washable foam pre-filter is a really good idea, and greatly extends the life of the fine-particle filter in my experience. Actually, the purifier that you linked to looks big enough that you can use a cut-up furnace filter as a pre-filter.

Thanks for the info Craig. The owner's manual for this unit states that the HEPA filters, on average, need to be relplaced every 12 to 18 months. The carbon filters need to be replaced about every 6 months.

This thing takes 3 filters at $25 each. At least it comes with an extra set of carbon filters.

We're sorry, but code T9PEAAA is invalid, or you have not qualified for any discounts.

Guess I waited to long

Yeah, I had a Panasonic that gave similar numbers. I ran the unit 24/7 and there were two of us smoking cigarettes plus there was the incredible shedding dog. Substituting "weeks" for "months" was more like it.

It all depends on the size of the room, pets, number of cigars smoked, circulation, how long the unit is on, etc. Also, it isn't an on/off thing. The filter eventually clogs - but it still filters, just not as efficiently.
