Quality control issues. Some are 95% filters instead of 99%.

The real world performance difference is minimal though.

The lowest price for these official filters on record is $60 for a 2 pack at costco. I'd honestly rather buy from costco, since amazon and fakes and such.
Both filters should be replaced. I've heard you can reactivate the carbon filter by throwing it in the oven, but all that does is release the gasses that it absorbed.

The hepa filter will eventually become too clogged to vacuum and will start to smell

Do not recommend using forever.

Lowest on record per CCC $36.41 on 5/31/23. This seems reasonably within range of that. In for two. Thanks!

Why not just get a third party filter? Aren't they basically exactly the same?

95% is good enough. You get 2 years of filters for the price of one.

What do you do to reactivate or whatever the charcoal filter?

Look, we don't live in sterile lab environments. You could have had more dust because the air quality was worse that week. These things are good at helping keeping things clean, not keeping them clean forever.

There's always going to be dust in the air as long as there's any kind of movement or people/animals. Unless of course you live in a box with no doors and windows.

Filter brand is one of many variables that can have an influence on "saw more dust in the room".
