Honeywell 24500 Replacement Air Cleaner HEPA Filter

I have severe allergies, so we run our air purifier all night, every night in the bedroom. It's a great deal for us to find this full size heppa filter for our machine. If we used the universal replacement filters, we'd need to use 3 of them. By the time we stack them, we get half rubber edging and half heppa filter. I much prefer the full size heppa filter. I think it does a more efficient job.

I received my New 24000/24500 Honeywell Air Cleaner Replacement Filter. First off you most likly should know that this is NOT a original Honeywell Filter. It is Made by another Company. That is Ok But That should be Noted as such.

So i put the replacement filter in my Honeywell Unit and turned it on
The filter Put out a real nasty Smell for the First day. It smelled like Melting Plastic and glue. I would guess this must be the smell from the bonding process they used
to put it together. Who knows.
I have had this filter for about a Month And the other day I turned my Machine on high for about a Hour while i was cleaning some rugs
And that strange Plastic smell returned.

Funny you would use a Filter to clear the room of dust Hoping you would get a nice clean room AND NOT MAKING THE ROOM SMELL BAD IN THE PROCESS!

The filter element was a direct replacement for the OEM part. Installation was not a problem. There was a short period of noticeable "new" but not objectionable odor after the element was installed.
