    I bought the Insignia air purifier two years ago. This is the only filter that works for it. I like having the product and the filter is easy to replace, which is nice. No struggling to figure out how it fits. It is simple. Good quality and sturdy.

    I've been using these Insignia Air Purifier filters for a couple of years now, and I've been very happy with the quality of these filters. The filters are easy to change, and have done a great job of eliminating household odors, and decreasing dust. I just had some extensive plumbing work done, and unfortunately they had to cut through the shower tile and drywall, which resulted in quite a bit of dust. I had the purifier on high all week, and the filter did a great job of keeping the air clean and dust-free.

    I chose the Insignia brand because I trusted it for this application. The filter cost is slightly below other brands. The installation was simple and the replacement has performed with the machine as if it were brand new.

    Have had this purifier for 3+ years and even bought a second one for another room. The air quality feels better, and there is less “dirt” in our ceiling air filters because of them. Used mainly for animals, elderly and asthma. Would recommend using level 3 setting for sound and efficiency. Great investment and usually have to replace every 3-4 months.

    I like using the air purifier, but the cost of the filter is so expensive. I used to pay $40 for it and now it's over $60. I understand it's due to inflation, but come on! Besides the high cost of the filter, it does definitely help clear out the air. I can see the dust buildup when I remove the filter and try to clean it. Highly recommend it, but wish the price was a bit lower. THe filter lasted me for over 6 months. It depends on the air quality inside your home and how dusty it can be.

    Honestly this filter lasts a quite a while. I have the air purifier downstairs by a cat litter box, and it is running constantly on 4. I can even "knock off" the dust on outside to get a little more out of it, but again, the filter does well. It cuts down on smell and does a great job handling dust and other odors.

    This filter works great! The air quality is noticeably better using these filters with the insignia purifier. Even the amount of dust that settles on furniture seems to have decreased by a bunch. My guess may complaint is the cost- these filters are supposed to be changed every 3 months. 4 filters a year can get very expensive. That being said, they do work well though. Guessing you could run them longer if the air quality isn’t as bad in your home.

    This filter works well in my Insignia air purifier machine. I have had my purifier for over a year now and this filter, while to me is a little pricey, it is well worth it. I have asthma and suffer from allergies and this removes my allergens time and time again. It is "blue" in color as a new filter but when I remove the filter, it's easy to see how much work it's done during its time between changes. I am content.

    Easy to setup/install, just insert and you're ready to use your air purifier again. I use it in my small office and all of my employes agree that the air purifier/filter combo do an EXCELLENT job of improving the air quailty in the office. Easy to use and order becuase the machine and filters are exclusively sold at Best Buy instead of searching for filters through other providers/vendors. Great product!

    I have tried 3 other brands to help with indoor air quality over the past 3 years. I live in Colorado where wildfire smoke can effect not only outdoor activities but indoor air quality more than I could have imagined. I purchased this one 6 months ago and am impressed! The read out indicating my home's air quality let's me know it is working even with the recent wildfire smoke from Canada - outside air quality was over 125 AQI while my home stayed lower than 15 AQI. Highly recommend this Insignia air purifier.

    I have two of these filters in my house. I appreciate the large room capacity if these air filters but wish they lasted longer than the 2000 hours or so. The filter itself is very quiet - so quiet I never notice it. Wish they were less expensive.
