I bought the GermGuardian Air Purifier in anticipation of adopting a cat. I have it running on low all day, every day – so I’ve had to change the filter sooner than the estimated 6 months. In my case, I usually have to change it after 4 or 5 months and I’ve been using the GermGuardian for 2 years now. My husband and I have allergies to dust and dander, so this filter has helped tremendously in keeping that under control. I also love to cook, so when I’m making a particularly aromatic dish, I turn my air purifier on the highest setting while cracking the window open slightly. Yes, the replacement filters are expensive, but it’s a small price to pay for cleaner, fresher smelling air. The difference in air quality is noticeable when you contrast the moment the ‘change the filter’ indicator comes on, to the hour after replacing it with a new one. To put it into perspective as to how many impurities have been captured by the filter, have a look at the comparison photo of an old vs new filter (the old, dirty filter is bagged in plastic as to not allow the dust to escape). It’s alarming to know what we would be breathing in without the use of this air purifier filter.
