germguardian Guardian Technologies GermGuardian Air Purifier Genuine Carbon Filter 4-Pack for use with FLT5000 Filter C for AC5000 Series Germ Guardian Air Purifiers, FLT28CB4

These are not genuine germ guardian filters. They came rolled up in and thin plastic bag with no box or true germ guardian markings. It looks like the label stuck to it was printed out on a printer.Seller refuses to issue an immediate refund and claims these are genuine but I have also contacted germ guardian technologies to report that I have not received a genuine product. I have looked at other reviews here and one actually shows the genuine product received and many have had the same issue with these cheap filters received and not matching up to genuine original products as well.I have gone directly to Amazon with this complaint/issue and I trust that they will rectify it. I have no problem returning this item but I need a refund to be able to purchase what I need and cannot wait any longer to have what I need for my germ guardian as my dog and I are dealing with toxic black mould in our home that I need my air purifier for.

I'm very disappointed with this item. Just by look and feel, these filters are obviously different than the original carbon filter that is included with the Germ Guardian AC5000E. These filters are approximately half the thickness of the original and visually, they look less porous. They also do not feature the velcro fastener strips of the original.Due to the lower quality appearance and missing features, it is very difficult to say if these carbon filters really are genuine.This is my first time changing the carbon filter so I am unsure as to how well these will work but I will update this review as needed.

The filters came in a bag and not a box as the seller advertised. They look like knock-off filters.The original Gern guardian filters appear to be thicker and these ones a thing and almost see-through.

Easy to install, velcro installation. Works ok, not sure if it is as thick and dense as the original filter that came with unit. The cutting doesn't seem to be as straight and clean as the old filter that I removed that came with the original machine. Won't know if it traps as much dust and lasts as long as original filter unless I am able to provide an update in 6 months. The original filter seems to be able to be washed and re-usable but I didn't try.

I have ordered these on more than one occasion. These ones are the genuine originals that came with the machine. When compared to a different brand of the same size, these original ones are much thinner than the other brand(Filter buy). The "off brand" that I just mentioned are twice as dense, ensuring that the super expensive HEPA filter doesn't get clogged up before its time. The "off brand" ones are not so thick that the machine's fan has to over work. Choose what you will.
