Found this 4 year old unit on Facebook marketplace. Gave $325 for it, they're averaging around $750 new now. Unit has 1600 hours on it which I believe the woman who had it ran it for a construction project all at once due to an auto immune issue. If you average 12 hours per day at 5 days per week, that's about 6 months of use. 24x7 would be about 2.5 months of use. Then it just sat.
Came also with a pack of 10 new pre-filters. Not certain how long the HEPA filter has been used but it looks good and this unit will flash a light when the filler is 75% used, and the light is not on so we're good. At least 26% of HEPA life is left.
From what I've read anecdotally, these units should easily go over 10,000 hours on the electric motor, so we're not even at 20% of that.
The new HEPA filter runs $130 so hopefully we get another 1000 hours out of it before that happens. I'm hoping to really clean up the air in my house and garage so who knows, we have a different environment and purpose than the previous owner had.
