After holding up my car last week I took a closer look at my 5 year old Original Miele Hepa filter. The side I could see looked good, but when I pulled it out, TERRIBLE😱. While I knew that replacing this filter would extend the life of this incredible purifier, I put this purchase on hold due to the high price. The Veva savings package is as high quality as Miele, but not at a high price. I'm glad I can change it more often.
