Holmes True HEPA Filter with Enhanced Mold Fighting Power, 2-Pack, White, 2 Count

Fits my Holmes air purifier exactly as it should. Does the job. Odor elimination is not an issue where the air filter is used, so can't comment on that. Very helpful in cutting down allergy symptoms at this time of year (spring, summer). I was confused about the meaning of all the numbers and letters in the model designation (HAPF600DM-U2) . Apparently the 600 is for the size of the filter (ie what air purifiers it will fit); the DM has to do with what it's particularly good for and the U-2 means there are two of the filters in the package.

I've been using Holmes products for decades and they work great. I replace the HEPA filters at least once per year and the carbon filters every three months or so. Another customer was frustrated because these are sold separately, not with the carbon filters, and was also annoyed that the HEPA filters were sold in a pair when they needed three. This customer doesn't realize perhaps that they sell smaller units that only use two HEPA filters. Some even use one. Also they are sold separately, not with the carbon filters, because the carbon filters need to be replaced much more often. Just make sure the seller is reputable. There are companies that make knock-offs and I don't recommend those. If you do get the knock-offs make sure they cost much less.

I have been using the Homes HEPA filter for my Home air cleaner for years and had no issues.

I own a Holmes air purifier that has run on high for 7 years, 24/7 in the bedroom. A microbiologist told me which one to get. I am so thankful for her choice. These filters are wonderful. They are supposed to last at least a year but I find that mine last about 10 months until the light comes on to buy new filters. Our house is 60 years and dusty. I also use the thin black filters that fit on top of these. I have never had a problem with the unit or these filters yet. That is because when one of the lights come on to change filters, I order them right then. You will be very happy and can be assured you are getting the best from Holmes.

Was looking for these forever at the local home improvement stores and department stores to replace the filter in a Holmes model that I've had for years now. Was sure I'd have to chuck the thing.Happened to check Amazon and—voila!These fit perfectly and all is well again—filter is running fresh once more, with clear airflow. Replacement carbon means you don't have to have that dusty yeech on the front of the unit either, you can replace all the consumables at once.Don't forget to reset the unit after inserting the new filter, so that the monitoring is reset and you have a filter indicator that works again!

These filters are oem and come in a pack of two. This was my first time changing the filters on the Holmes and man you can tell how dirty they get after a year. It makes me feel better as it shows they are working. I gave 4 stars because some of the adhesive at each end of the filter spilled over to the next pleat in the filter which I did not see on the old ones. Seems like a factory QC issue but should still get the job done.

I have 2 of these true HEPA filters in each of my big Holmes air cleaners. Holmes air cleaners are not expensive. 1 air cleaner on the ground floor, and 1 in the basement. I got almost 2 years out of my last batch. Completely eliminated my sinus pressure and headaches. I was taking ibuprofen (with calcium powder or milk to buffer the acidity) 5 or 6 times a day before my current air cleaner system. Smaller air cleaners by themselves in a few rooms do not do the job. Air cleaners have to cover the whole house so that there is no possibility of becoming sensitized. I also have a smaller true HEPA Holmes air cleaner in my bedroom. I have 4 MERV 13 filters from Zoro in my central heat and air. They are not enough by themselves to stop the sinus problems since the system fan is not on all the time. The only way to stop the nasal sensitivity is full 24/7 air cleaning of the whole house. I lived with sinus problems for decades. Once my nasal passages and sinuses are sensitized anything will set them off. Smells, mold, any dust, any pollen, etc.. I also have a dehumifier in the basement. It also is essential. If the humidity gets above 50% I am back to sinus problems due to the mold in the basement being spread around the house. MERV 13 filters aren't enough to stop all mold. Mold spores are tiny. The air cleaners take awhile to clear out the mold being spread from the vents. So I get sensitized. If you have allergies or sinus problems you probably know what I am talking about concerning being more easily set off at times.

These filters are high-quality OEM filters and Amazon sells them at a great price.
