Philips Air Mask replaceable filter FY0086/00
A must have when using…

Each box of replacement Philips Air Mask filters comes with 5 individually wrapped filters. The current retail price is at $7.80 per piece.
The simple take-home message is that:
if you want to use the Philips Fresh Air Mask ACM066/01, you will need to replace the disposable inner filter sooner or later.
How long you choose to keep using each filter for depends on how oily your face is, how much you perspire and your personal level of comfort and hygiene.
If one were to benchmark the frequency of changing the replaceable filter with how often one changes their surgical masks, it would never make economic sense. A box of 50 pieces high quality BFE 95% mask would cost approximately $12-15 on the open market in 2021. On average, a person would be likely to dispose of a used surgical mask after 10-12 hours of continuous use or if it is soiled/ moist etc.
However, the Philips Air Mask Replaceable filter is supposed to last up to 122 hours. Even if you were to take 50% of that, it would mean that each filter will last at most 6-7 days of wearing for 10 hours a day. This would work out to a cost of $32 a month for replacement filters alone.
Personally, I have found that after wearing the filter for cumulative 10-15 hours, it gets soiled, moist and I feel uncomfortable wearing it. For others, it may be different, depending on your comfort and activity level (perspiration from exercise/ heat etc).
