The year's supply of filters costs much more than the unit. Note, however, that you can get them from the holmes site for cheaper if you buy a larger pack - four filters cost around $50.

The filters are standard so the only difference between places that carry them is cost. Amazon was $7 cheaper and by ordering two sets I got free shipping. You can't beat that!

This little air filter does make a big difference
I have been using it for over 3 years ever since i got stationed near Tokyo Japan and believe me, nothing has more polluted air then japan. It made a big difference there and now im san diego and it makes the night sleep go a lot smoother.

As a smoker, I thought I woud try and clean the air in my livng room so I bought 2 of these because I liked the easy removal of the filters. Was I in for a shock when I went to buy the replacement filters. Who would beleive a years worth of filters costs as much as the air cleaner. I would like to see the price of these come down about 50%. It would almost be worth buying a new air cleaner so you don't have to clean the inside of the machine.

there are 2 major things wrong with this (and every?) holmes product i have been 'duped' into using. it is much like when you buy a printer, the initial unit is a mere downpayment for all the cartridges you'll need if u use it 'normally.' the holmes air purifiers i have been intermittently stuck with do help clean the air and thanks to the standardization of the hepa filter (and no thanks to holmes), work fairly well. the downside is they are extremely difficult to clean (i think i used an entire package of qtips) and you have to take the damned thing apart yourself to do so (hence i cleaned mine once and dumped it) if you like cleanliness, once you look inside the thing you'll be prompted to do likewise. the reason why it's popular seems attributable to one factor: it is cheap. seems like a good idea at the time. then u start buying the filters and attempting to maintain it and realize what a poorly thought out piece o' junk the actual unit really is. be smart, spend more and get an air cleaner from a company that cares whether or not the unit can be cleaned after you buy (slantfin, bionaire, honeywell). hope this helps save others from a dirty business.

These filters fit the Holmes mini-tower and actually look different from the product photo. I wasn't sure when I ordered them that they would fit, as not all the models were listed. I was quite pleased to find it available directly from Amazon, as the two-pack (along with the free shipping) make it a more affordable option as the filters are small.

What can you say about the only filter that works with the unit?
I tried putting in an old banana and it did not work at all.
This filter is the best choice by far.

This is advertised as a HEPA filter however what is sent it a replacement HEPA-Type Filter! The true HEPA filters for the Holmes tower unit which is shown in the picture has a white filter section not gray and filters down to .03 microns of particulate filtering 99.7% of dirt and dust. HEPA type only filter out 99%. Not a big deal you say? Well if you are an allergy prone person or have an asthmatic in your family this can be the difference between living with pets or no pets at all! I hope AMAZON fixes this advertising flaw ASAP and actually starts selling the real HEPA filters!

Nothing much to say except that these are nice filters. They are the only ones that will fit the holmes air filter systems and they are a bit pricey, but there's really no other choice.

Works as advertised, and as your original filter did on the Holmes. It's the same filter. Much better deal here than in the store, if you can even find it in a store.
