Before you make a decision maybe you should contact Healthmate to find out the differences between the two.

I contacted Austin directly about this. It's purely an aesthetic issue: If you have a lighter colored Healthmate (sandstone, white, etc.) you will need the white filter so as not to have black showing through the perforations around the unit; if your unit is a darker color, then you will need the black filter for a comparable reason. The filters themselves are 100% completely identical as far as composition and performance are concerned.

I've had several healthmate units for many years and have only used black filters--just now finding out about a white filter. I always thought the black filter was infused with carbon and maybe the white filter doesn't have carbon.

We have both kinds. The white one can see collected dust better, when you clean it. The black works just as good, but you don't see that much dust on filter.collected

The white one is simply the newest model. They clean and last the same amount. The white one has a timer built into it to let you know when to replace.

i do not know what the difference is between the 2 cleaners. i would assume that they filters would probably be the same. you might try looking on their website (and then order from amazon) or call the company.

I have never received anything but "New" items from Amazon. B+W is a quality company that makes high quality products. If your filter looks ok, no distortions, blemishes or scratches...I would use it. I would still contact Amazon Customer Service if you are not comfortable or happy. They are responsive and should address your concerns. At least that has been my experience.Good Luck.

My original filter was the B and the A works exactly the same. I bought the A, after checking with the manufacturer's website, when I couldn't find the B. Hope this helps, Bambi.

I have the older model of Oreck Air Puriifer, my store in RI sold the replacement filters for $50. (that is when I gave up on my air purifier) They used to see the filters at a reasonable price, but claimed the $50 filter would last longer. I no longer use it.

The less expensive one is just a paper filter. I've noticed that some of the more expensive ones contain carbon to filter out odors. Wasn't really a deal breaker for me. I just wanted to minimize construction dust.

If you are referring to Vitamix, you can Google Vitamix VS Health Master Elite and get lots of info. All I know is that the Vitamix is much more expensive and I can't imagine it can be any better than the Health Master Elite - I use mine every day and love it. Make sure you get the Elite and not the original version.

It comes with the white (regular) filter. I also purchased the fine filter and change them when the flow gets below 30%.

I got the black one. in this case you should contact the seller for clarification.

I love my Floormate! I bought an extra filter for future use rather than try and finding one later. Unless you are cleaning VERY dirty floors, I don't think they need to be changed too often.

There's no difference in quality -- the prices just seem to fluctuate for no reason. $17.99 is a great deal for the black, though -- thanks for the head's up! I just ordered three of them!

It comes in Black or White and should give you the option. I bought the black one and it fits and looks fine.

You would need to contact the seller to confirm that you receive the model in black. There was a time that it was only the white model that was available. I actually purchased mine from a store while I was overseas. The store had stock of both models.

What is difference between the Black Berkey Element and the White Ceremaic filters?

I guess the black ones are supposed to filter out more stuff but I've tried the black ones and don't like them as they seem to plug up much sooner and are harder to clean than the white ones. The white ones are great and I've been using them for about sixteen years, not the same set but the white filters.
