PureIllusion Scientifically Tested Gas & Odor Filter for IQAir HealthPro Series Air Purifier - Ultra Premium Filter fits V5 Cell Module - Genuine Crystalline

Working wonderfully on my Iqair purifyer. I was apprehensive at first... but this will be the way to go for future replacements.

These are very nice filters ! Packaged very well in shipping and they work very well !!

It's an excellent filter and the alternative to the original IQ VOC filter! It's a game changer for those allergic to the original IQ VOC filters. I’m so glad I gave this off-brand filter a try! The original IQ VOC filter gave me an allergic reaction affecting my sinuses and throat.I had to remove the original VOC filter from my IQ Air after giving it a chance several times and performing several isolation tests. It sadly left me only with the particle filtration. Fortunately, this off-brand VOC filter was the solution to the problem! I have been running the off-brand filter for over a week, and it performs very well and also does not give me any allergic reactions. I will be buying it again when the time comes!

Excellent replacement and a fair price

This replacement filter does the job and fits perfectly. There were a couple of things that we noticed right away and swapped the old IQair filter back and forth to make sure. This filter is heavier, which is a potential bonus if there is more filter media or it could mean it is less porous and won’t be as efficient as the OEM. The other noticeable trait of this filter is that it must not flow as easily as the OEM because it makes the filter noisier at all settings. Ours is in the bedroom so we have to run the filter at a lower setting to sleep. If you have your filter somewhere else in your house then that’s probably not an issue. We applaud the fact there is a replacement out there but there are some trade-offs to be aware of. Not sure if we will buy another one when this one needs replacing but it certainly works.

Thank you for saving me those big bucks, Purellusion! I purchased the carbon odor filter to add as a third filter to my IQAir system, and it's been fantastic. It's as simple as drop and go. Instructions are clear and the price was fair. Will repurchase when the time comes. Love this!

This carbon filter makes a very noticeable improvement in filtering out my neighbor's smokes, including not only traditional types of tobacco, but also various kinds of E-cigarettes chemicals. The original V5-Cell from IQ Air, sadly, is unable to produce any noticeable improvement. I think it could be due to the fact that the IQ Air V5-Cell contains only 6 pounds of activated carbon, whereas this one contains 7.5 pounds. That extra one and a half pounds of carbon maybe is the determining factor of its effectiveness.The only thing this Pure Illusion carbon filter still needs to improve is the carton housing--it is not as solidly built as that of the original IQ Air. As a result, my first one had a problem of those carbon granules falling out because the five-stripe housing that contain the carbon granules were not securely glued to the carton frame. I had to spend quite a bit of time repair it to stop the leak.Update of my review (6/4/2022). I am adding one more star to my previous review, because I am quite blown away by the customer service of this company. Not only are their products as good as, or better (in the case of the stage 2 filter) than the IQ Air filter, their customer service is absolutely fantastic too. After learning from my review that my first filter was damaged during the shipping, they went through the trouble of redesign their packaging material, then sent me a new one free of charge. In addition, they are also in the process of improving the design of their carton housing after I made the suggestion of strengthen the attachment of the strips to the frame by adding staples, instead of using only glue. Highly recommend this company's products. Two thumbs up!

The carbon filter came in a well designed package with foam inserts to support the ridged design of the filter during shipping. The PreIllusion filter weighed roughly 8.5 lbs without its shipping materials, compared to the genuine IQAir V5-cell which weighed 6.5 lbs. Will update this review once I see how long the filter actually lasts in removing odors.
