My check filter light came on 4 days ago on all 3 of my Winix purifiers. One 5500-2 and two AM80s.
Just put a generic set in the AM80s that cost $34.99 for both machines.
Happy with them so ordered another set of 2, and a set of 2 of a different brand to see if there is any difference at all between the multitude of brands with crazy names that Amazon sells.
I am happy with the ones I got so far. I vacuumed the charcoal thoroughly to remove any loose dust. The HEPA had a slight odor for 5 minutes, then it was gone. Quality of the appears good. Can't see paying more than double for these original ones.
Will see how the next 4 look. I'll use one, then have three ready for next year.
That's what's frustrating about these filters. Producing activated carbon and getting HEPA certification isn't cheap but it's not nearly enough added cost to justify $80 for a filter replacement. The margin on these replacement parts are too high for my taste. Unfortunately there is physics that makes HEPA filters capture PM 2.5 where other filters either can't or do so poorly and there is physics that makes activated carbon absorb odor. There's no way of knowing if a generic filter meets this standard.
That makes this a slick deal IMO.

You literally only have to replace them once a year, yet people are complaining about the price and throwing in cheapo filters that don't fit properly? Hilarious.
I have yet to find a third party that has identical dimensions to the original. You can always tell they're cheap copies with poor accuracy when copying.
