What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives a nominal size of 20 x 25 x 4 inches but lists actual dimensions as 4"L x 25.63"W x 20.6"Th. Confirm that the actual dimensions and compatible model match your unit before buying. The claimed filter life of up to 6 months is not a universal guarantee and depends on use. The listing also names UV12 and UV22 in one compatible-devices field, while the detailed model list names different units, so confirm compatibility for those models.
