Germ Guardian FLT5000 True HEPA Genuine Air Purifier Replacement Filter C for GermGuardian AC5000E, AC5250PT, AC5300B, AC5350B, CDAP5500, and More

For those of you who have been using Germ Guardian products for 5 years or more, you know that as soon as Lasko bought the company a few years back, the quality of these filters is nothing like they used to be. The quality is now actually horrible compared to what it used to be when it was produced by the original germ guardian owners. The picture I attached shows proof of that with the carbon filters. The one on the left was what we used to get with the original germ guardian filters. The one on the right is what you get now with Lasko (new owners of Germ Guardian). When I used to get the replacement germ guardian filters, almost immediately after putting the new filter in, I could tell the difference in the amazingly fresh and clean air coming out of the filter. Now, since using the Lasko filters (that they call germ guardian), I do not get that experience at all. In fact, I wake up every morning with a congested nose, which I never had with the real germ guardian filters. It’s such a shame that a company like Lasko would buy an amazing company like germ guardian, and change the product so dramatically that it’s nothing like it used to be. I’m not sharing this to do any damage to the Lasko name. Rather, just hoping that if somebody is considering buying this filter or air purifier, that this helps them in that decision making process. Unfortunately, the majority of the reviews on germguardianoutlet.com are from when it was the original germ guardian product prior to Lasko changing it. Those who review it now and give it give it good reviews don’t have the benefit of the original, real germ, guardian product, to know the difference. It was far superior to the Lasko product. I am now forced to try to find another manufacturer that creates better quality filters to use in my original germ guardian purifier. I will definitely not purchase any more Lasko products given what I saw and experienced them do to the far superior germ guardian product after buying the company. Best of luck with your search, and I hope this helps you in your decision making process.
