I thought I'd add that the filter has a pre-filter on it, I've been told that the filter shown in the video is supposed to be vacuumed when the pre-filter gets gunked up. I think the filter timer is basically telling you how gummed up the prefilter is. I've had this purifier for about 3 or years in my home office and run it constantly. The only issue I've run into is the fan gets noisy when the filter is blocked with dust. It has noticeably reduced the smell of smoke during the days we get forest fire smoke in the air and smoking from vaping indoors is also noticeably reduced. That filter gets packed with stuff so I'm very sure it's working great.
That's a Chrome/Brave extension called Keepa. Super handy. And actually now that I'm revisiting their website, looks like they support most browsers. keepa.com/#!addon chromewebstore.google.com/detail/keepa-amazon-price-tracke/neebplgakaahbhdphmkckjjcegoiijjo?hl=en
Have you looked into other manufacturers replacement filters that would fit the Membrane Solutions unit? $160 a year seems a bit steep for filters. Do you know if the unit has air flow monitoring to give an accurate reading of how clogged the filter is?
I'm sure knock-offs can be found, but they're unlikely to be 'True HEPA' (at least, that's what I've found with my Coway). And it does not -- based on the manual, it says it's timer based. So there's probably some clock in there counting backwards from 1700 hours every time the unit is on.
Sounds like the front panel came off a little. The manual says this: For your safety, the air purifier is equipped with a safety switch. If you open the panel when the purifier is running, the fan will stop running and sound two beeps. The panel must be in place for the purifier to operate (see page 10). So try pressing the front panel snugly back into place on the bottom, sides, and top.
This unit is plagued with issues. The first one being the tabs holding the face plate are fragile and prone to breaking and after replacing the filter it is hit or miss on the unit starting again. I made the mistake of buying two. Live and learn, I guess.

I just got mine today the fters are 29.99 I was thinking how about I vaccuum the filter out once a week think that will make it last longer
You're a really good teacher; thank you!
How are you able to view price history on Amazon?

On my second brand of knock offs. So far only the manufacturer's expensive brand works in the unit.
