New filters giving off horrible smell
This is the second time I've bought replacement filters for my coway. The first time was fine, but this batch has a strong odor that's making me feel ill. First of all, the Hepa had visible spots of glue on it at the edges that still felt tacky to the touch. Next off, the carbon filter was too big to fit in the frame. It was too big in both width and height I needed to trim it.
I'm going to let the purifier run for a few more hours, but if the smell is still there, i'm sending them back. Not sure what I will use instead!
I'm so upset that coway's quality has clearly gone down hill.
