Well, back to your question, with both of the filters on high and the Germgardian bulb on, you could barely till that there was this bad smoke issue, unless you stepped out side. Luckily my condo sets in the belly of the valley so I did not have to leave but the air quality was so bad we had to wear masks at all times.

The air quality was offal and a lot of the people were evacuated. Shortly after his death there was a really BAD FIRE in Napa Valley were I live and it spread quickly and hot and did a lot of damage. They were heaven sent keep the air clean so my husband could breath better in his last days at home.

I originally bought two of these units one for upstairs and one for down. I compared both filters side by side and to me, they looked identical, except this compatible would not depress the metal clip. Aside from putting on this tape on the metal thing to ac tivate the unit, the filter appears to be working just fine. I put some tape on this metal part and made it depress, replaced the filter, and the unit turned on. There is this metal part at the bottom of the unit that depresses when the filter is replaced, but it wasn't doing it with the compatible. But when I put in this compatible, I wasn't hearing the clicking. Ok what is going on? I heard this clicking when I removed the filter and then put it back in. I put back the old filter and the unit turned on. I thought that maybe I needed to hit the reset, so I did that with a paper clip. The fit was perfect, snapped on the back cover and pushed the on button and nothing, no power. I made sure that before I ordered this product the dimensions were consistent with the original.
