these air purifier companies go to great lenghts to make sure that you cant buy a filter this size anywhere but online...if you order the pre-filter-pre-screen and this filter....it's like 50 bucks all-together and during the hot dusty season they need replaced monthly...sorry Hunter...too rich for my blood...the most expensive hepa-filter at walmart is 5 bucks....I'd be willing to spend two maybe three times that but not 10 times...Solution: Wash out the two pre-filters....then go to walmart and buy a high quality hepa-filter (for your home air)...then cut it to fit...I have done it a dozen times and it cleans the air just as good...and I can actually afford to replace it, as often as it needs to be.....shame on Hunter for ripping us off so bad...we bought the unit...why should we be punished by the filter cost?

Shop around.... that's what I did and found them for 50% less than the one listed on Amazon's site. I also recommend getting the HUNTER PRE-FILTER (IF YOUR UNIT ACCEPTS THEM) along with the additional Hunter CARBON FILTER. This is the only CUT TO FIT charcole filter that's proper to use in the Hunter. They run anywhere from 8.99 to 12.99 and are large enough for 2 applications. Helps remove odors from the house where the PRE FILTER...Read more
