Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This filter gives off toxic levels of chemicals and the photos above show that. I don’t know whether it’s glue or the whole filter was dipped in some type of organic chemical but the VOCs coming off of it register as “unsafe” on an air quality monitor that I own. See the photos above. I put the new filter in, noticed the horrible smell that others mentioned and so I tested the air coming out of the filter with my air quality monitor (bought to monitor California’s smoky air from annual fall forest fires). Just to make sure it wasn’t something else in the room setting off the monitor, I reinstalled the old (dirty) HEPA filter that shipped with the device and the VOC measurements went way down, back to a safe level (see photo). It’s ironic that people seeking to clean their air would receive a filter made by the device manufacturer that actually makes the air toxic and unsafe to breath. Amazon should stop selling this product immediately and find a filter that isn’t toxic.
