Accumulair Carbon Odor Block Filter Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I really want to love these filters. We have two cats. Two cases of severe seasonal allergies. And an aversion to anything that doesn't smell like Roses. We have five filters installed at once. Can we tell the difference...don't know. Our noses get used to smells quickly. There is no denying they filter well, but I can't tell you they will completely freshen up your home. We are going back to a similar filter without activated-charcoal. If we can then tell the difference, then I will update this post with a higher rating. If we can't...the review will remain the same.

A side note...Customer Service from FiltersNow through Amazon was spectacular!

UPDATE: Over the last few months we have really begun to notice the difference these filters make. Our first example is a visit from a severe, cat-allergy sufferer. A cousin of ours spent nearly an entire week with us and found that his usual cat allergies did not act up at all. Recently, the true test has come. I replaced every carbon filter with a high end 3M filter (no activated charcoal). Within days, we began to feel a general discomfort at constant subtle smells throughout our home. We allowed the 3M filters to do their job for 6 weeks, then went back to the Accumulair Carbon. By the end of the day of re-installation, the house was fresh and comfortable again. We had such a great night's rest that very same night that we ordered a supply of Accumulair to last us the rest of the year.

I am no recommending these strongly to anyone that will listen.

Bought this filter to stop the smell of grass from my lawn mower seeping up from the basement. Does the job as advertised. Definitely recommend and definitely will buy more when needed.

Stinky fumes. Not only do they singe your nose hairs, but chances are they're toxic! Chemicals, cigarette smoke... we know the aren't good for us.

I've always wondered why a charcoal-activated/carbon air filter was never available for whole-house HVAC systems. The makers of Accumulair must have pondered the same thing because here, after all these years, is an odor absorbing air filter for the house!

OK, I'll cut to the chase. This filter does a great job of absorbing household odors. It works like a regular particle filter and is just as easy to install. It's available in every size imaginable (be sure to double-check you're ordering the right one since that dropdown-menu size selector has enough sizes to make your eyes cross).

Four, not five, stars because it's not a super effective particle filter compared to a "regular" non odor-absorbing filter. The filter is more like a sponge material rather than cross-woven fibers or microfibers so there are bigger pores for some dust/allergens to penetrate. Allergy sufferers might fare better enduring the smell of last night's fish dinner instead of circulating bigger particles than a standard filter would catch. But it does exactly as claimed... it clears the funk from the air. (Well, maybe they didn't use the word "funk"...)

Honest reviews on Accumulair Carbon Odor Block Filter

These seem to work pretty well. I rent and am worried about smoke and cooking fumes accumulating. I have a 1 BR apartment with the return duct in an AC/Heater closet located near the kitchen. I would suggest stocking up on these and replace them once every 1-3 months. I suppose it's not going to trap all the smoke and cooking fumes, but it's better than the cheap cotton candy filter material that was in my apartment's heater/ac.

Edit: The new shipment of 6 filters showed more light showing thru the filters, which means they used less charcoal. I was kind of disappointed.

I've since decided these are inferior to Nordic Pure MERV 7 Plus Carbon Air Filters 1 inch. Accumulair reduced the amount of charcoal in their line of filters. You can see right thru them now!

I believe that these filters work, but if you order them in quantity then they get shipped in packs of two within the same bag and I feel like the quality of my filters was degraded by having to expose 2 to air to install 1. I tried to keep the 2nd filter in the bag as isolated from air as possible until we needed it, but it still seems like we had odor issues using the second filter. To clarify, if you order more than one filter, then 2 come in each bag and you have to expose two to air to get access to one. I will probably look for an alternative that will ship these expensive filters in independent packaging.
