Before ordering a replacement HEPA filter for your Honeywell (or other brand) Air Cleaner, be sure to check the model number on the unit. This filter is for four Enviracare Models (51500, 61500, 11520, and 17200). I replace my HEPA filter every year because I am very allergic to cigarette smoke, pollens, dust, molds, and other allergens and irritants. Honeywell suggests that you replace your HEPA filter every 1-3 years. Also, this HEPA filter has pre-filters which wrap around it, so you may want to order a box of those, too. Honeywell recommends that the pre-filters be changed every 3 months, but I've found if I vacuum them at least once a month, I can keep them longer. I really like my HEPA filters because they remove so much dust and pet hair from the air.

I have a 50150 model and it says right on the label attached to the bottom of it to buy replacement filter 21500.

On the the box that this came in it says it will fit 50150 but this filter was not tall enough for my unit.

It was too much trouble to send it back so I ripped the rubber off the top of the old filter and attached it with silicone to this new one. That was enough to get it to fit but I should not have to do that for a 50+ dollar filter.

I don't know if this is a one-off problem but I do see I'm the only one with this problem to post a review.

I use this filter in an air purifier that runs in my room 24/7 primarily because of nasty little dust mites. It really does help.

I have had the machine for several years and it was time for a new filter. It works for me.

Local stores told me that the filter for my air machine was no longer being made, and sold me an alternative filter. On a whim, I typed in the identifying numbers on the internet and discovered that the filter was available and would cost less than the alternative (which didn't last as long)had. I'm very pleased!

This filter will also fit model 50150. I searched for a while before I found this filter with the same dimensions as the 50100, 50150, 50250, 50300 series filters. No need to buy two of the smaller filters and stack them if this one is available.

It arrived within a couple days of ordering. Fits & works great! Thanks.

I find the greatest thing about running this filter is that we need to dust the house significantly less often.

Another reviewer here recomended vacuming your prefilter. Unless you are doing that outside or you have a true HEPA filtered vacuum, I would suggest you don't do this. You risk making airbourne again many of the things you bought the filter to trap in the first place. As a pre-filter gets dirty it actually filters more stuff (the filter itself though runs less efficiently because less air cycles through it.)

I ordered two from Amazon, and received them in apparently good condition from another vendor. They look like the picture on line and fit the machine. But the box said nothing about Honeywell, and there was no packing slip. The product says nothing on it about Honeywell and has no part number or other identifier on it. In the past I have ordered Honeywell pre-filters on Amazon, and been sent generics. The pre-filters were clearly different products and lots of people were complaining in Amazon reviews. These filters I just received could be Hepa filters, or folded coffee filters in frames. Honeywell -- and Amazon -- should be after these guys.
