I just get whatever's cheapest from amazon or ebay. I think I paid 40 cents each for the last ones, in a pack of 20 or something.

All the filter is doing is blocking some of the bigger dust and such that's coming through, then there's the hypoallergenic filters, which block more.

I buy generic hypoallergenic filters. I change ours about every two months.

I don't think I bought hypoallergenic..... these seemed like a good price and are individually wrapped so dog fur doesn't get in. Crossing fingers I got the correct ones. I guess I will find out Tuesday.

About .60 cents each if I did the math right. :lol:

I buy from our host www.cpap.com and the RespLabs ones on Amazon. I've ordered others from Amazon and they were very thick and had a chemical order even after a few days.

I bought the care touch ones on Amazon and they are better, IMO, than the ones from my DME.

I don't notice a smell but I live with a smoker and am usually not sensitive to smells unless it is ovewhelmingly perfumey or a super strong chemical smell like from painting the house.
