I have a popular brand room air cleaner. It works very well and I have no complaints EXCEPT the cost of replacement hepa and charcoal filters.
The best price I can find for a replacement hepa and charcoal filter is $65.99 for the hepa and a charcoal filter for $18.48.
That would be $102.95 for each year for JUST one hepa filter and 2 charcoal replacements.
Seems like a LOT of money for a paper filter. The very same thing that made me HAPPY to sell my one of my high end canister vacuums. The cost of the bags, hepa filters was very high and as we know the cost would NOT be going down as the years pass.
I have noticed the air cleaner filters lasted 2 times as long after I got my Rainbow. Enough proof that it WAS either removing more dirt or leaking much less dust back into the room. I just resent paying for the replacement filters over and over again.
