AeraMax and Boneco Replacement Filters
Some stores pay me when you buy through a link here, and your price stays the same. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. How this works
The numbers
- AeraMax 90 / 100 / DX5: HEPA 9287001, carbon 9324001
- AeraMax 190 / 200 / DX55: HEPA 9287101, carbon 9324101
- AeraMax 290 / 300 / DX95: HEPA 9287201, carbon 9324201
- The 200, 300, DX55 and DX95 rows come from Fellowes describing its own filters as fitting those models. I have not held those manuals. Check the number on your old filter before ordering
- Intervals per the product manuals: HEPA every 12 months, carbon every 3 months
- The Boneco W200 has no filter. It uses an AW200 evaporator mat (24 months), an A7017 silver stick (every season, Boneco’s own wording) and A7417 descaler (every 2 to 3 weeks)
- The AW200 mat fits the W200, W300, W400, H300, H320 and H400
- Fellowes states only its own branded filters should be used, and that washing them stops them working
Every AeraMax uses two filters, and they wear out on different clocks. Most people replace the wrong one first. Get the part number right and the interval right and the unit keeps working. Get either wrong and you are either wasting money or breathing through a saturated carbon mat.
Here is the mapping, taken from the Fellowes manuals rather than from retailer listings.
AeraMax filter part numbers
| Your unit | True HEPA | Carbon | Where this comes from |
|---|---|---|---|
| AeraMax 90, 100, DX5 | 9287001 | 9324001 | Read from the 90, 100 and DX5 manuals |
| AeraMax 190, 200, DX55 | 9287101 | 9324101 | Read from the 190 manual. The 200 and DX55 come from Fellowes’ own “fits 190/200/DX55” product naming |
| AeraMax 290, 300, DX95 | 9287201 | 9324201 | Read from the 290 manual. The 300 and DX95 come from Fellowes’ “fits 290/300/DX95” naming |
Sources: the AeraMax 90, 100, 190, 290 and DX5 manuals, cross-checked against the Fellowes catalogue entries for 9287001 and 9287201.
I have not held a 200, 300, DX55 or DX95 manual. Those rows come from Fellowes describing its own filters as fitting those models, which is reliable but is not the same as reading it off the manual. Check the number on your old filter before ordering.
The three tiers use different sizes. A 9287001 will not fit a 190. Check the number on the old filter before you order.
How Often to Change an AeraMax Filter
The manuals for the 90, 100, 190, 290 and DX5 all say the same thing:
- True HEPA: approximately every 12 months under normal usage
- Carbon: approximately every 3 months under normal usage
Worth knowing that Fellowes contradicts itself here. The AeraMax FAQ page gives carbon at 6 months for the 3/8 inch filter and 1 year for all others. That table appears to lean toward the commercial AeraMax Pro line rather than the consumer units.
Go with the manual that came with your unit. If you no longer have it, the three-month carbon interval is the conservative choice, and carbon is the cheap one anyway.
What the AeraMax Filter Indicator Light Means
All three consumer tiers have one. Amber means change it soon, red means change it now.
The useful detail is how it decides. The Fellowes AeraMax FAQ says the indicators consider “the quality of the air they clean, as well as the period of time they are being used.” So a unit running in a dusty room calls for a filter earlier than one in a clean room, and that is correct behaviour rather than a fault.
To reset it, per the same Fellowes FAQ and the product manuals: press and hold the filter icon for three to five seconds until the unit beeps. The HEPA icon flashes amber. Press to toggle between HEPA and carbon, then hold the one you replaced until you get a short beep and the light goes out.
Generic vs Genuine AeraMax Filters
Fellowes is explicit, and it is in every manual: “Do not wash and reuse the True HEPA or Carbon Filters, they will not work effectively. Only use Fellowes brand AeraMax replacement filters.” That wording is from the AeraMax 290 manual and appears in the 100, 190 and DX5 manuals too.
For the commercial Pro line, the Fellowes FAQ goes further: damage or performance issues caused by non-Fellowes filters will void the warranty. Read your own warranty card for the consumer units rather than taking my word for what it covers.
Third-party AeraMax filters exist and sell in volume. The honest position is that Fellowes has stated a policy and voiding a warranty on a unit you have owned for four years may not worry you. Just know what the policy says before you decide.
AeraMax CADR and Room Coverage
These come off the individual product manuals, one per row:
| Model | CADR smoke / dust / pollen | Room coverage | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|
| AeraMax 100 | 68 / 65 / 75 | 100 sq ft | |
| AeraMax DX5 | 68 / 65 / 75 | 105 sq ft | |
| AeraMax 190 | 126 / 129 / 124 | 190 sq ft |
The 100 and the DX5 carry identical CADR figures but different stated coverage, 100 square feet against 105. Both numbers are Fellowes’ own. Read the five square feet as marketing rather than as a measurable difference. The units themselves each have their own page: the 90, the 190 and the 290.
AeraMax Replacement Filter Prices
Every one of the six genuine parts is stocked at Home Depot.
| If your machine says | True HEPA, yearly | Carbon, every 3 months, 4-pack | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| AeraMax 90, 100 or DX5 | 9287001, See price | 9324001, See price | See price |
| AeraMax 190, 200 or DX55 | 9287101, See price | 9324101, See price | See price |
| AeraMax 290, 300 or DX95 | 9287201, See price | 9324201, See price | See price |
A carbon pack holds four filters at a three-month interval, so one pack is a year of odour control. The HEPA element behind it runs twelve months on its own.

HEPA 9287001ViewWhere to Buy AeraMax Filters
Six part numbers. Each one turns up at a different mix of shops. Everything below was read on 6 August 2026, except the Home Depot, OfficeCrave, Sylvane and CompSource listings, which were re-read on 29 September 2026.
AeraMax 90, 100 and DX5 Filters
The easiest pair to find. Home Depot has the 9287001 HEPA and the 9324001 carbon four-pack.
CompSource has the HEPA and shows “Availability: 1827”, the deepest confirmed stock anywhere for this part. On the carbon side, Staples and OfficeCrave both carry the four-pack. Nordisco lists the HEPA as well.
Drawback, from stock and listing data rather than reviews
- WebstaurantStore has discontinued this filter and still displays a price on a page that reads “This product is no longer available. We’ve left this page up for reference only." Anyone comparing prices in a search results list will see that number and click into a dead end.
- OfficeSupply.com has the carbon four-pack marked sold out with no restock date.
- CFS and Air Filter Factory sell generic four-packs for this size. Neither is certified by Fellowes for fitment.
AeraMax 190, 200 and DX55 Filters
The awkward middle. Home Depot has the 9287101 HEPA and the 9324101 carbon four-pack. OfficeCrave has the same carbon pack.
Sylvane sold the HEPA in August, and it was the only listing for this part that committed to anything in writing. By 29 September 2026 that listing had gone.
Drawback, from availability rather than reviews
- Genuine supply for this size is thinner than for the other two. Walmart’s 9287101 listing now returns a 404, OnTimeSupplies marks the carbon pack discontinued, SuperWarehouse offers substitutes instead of the part, and Zoro’s own product page for the carbon four-pack 404s while Zoro simultaneously sells it as a marketplace seller on Newegg.
- In August, Staples showed the carbon four-pack out of stock.
AeraMax 290, 300 and DX95 Filters
Home Depot sells the 9287201 HEPA, and Sylvane lists it but showed it out of stock on 29 September 2026. OfficeCrave, BlueDogInk, Zoro, Quill and Staples carry it too, and Zoro has a second listing for the same part number.
The carbon four-pack has fewer sellers. Home Depot, OfficeCrave, OfficeSupply.com and Quill all carry the 9324201.
| 9287201 True HEPA, one filter | Price | What the page says |
|---|---|---|
| Sylvane | See price | Out of stock on 29 September 2026 |
| Home Depot | See price | Normally stocked |
| OfficeCrave | See price | In Stock |
| BlueDogInk | See price | Status: In Stock |
| Zoro | See price | No availability wording shown |
| Quill | See price | Delivery 10 to 11 August |
| Staples | See price | Delivery 7 August |
| Zoro, second listing | See price | No availability wording shown |
That second Zoro listing looks like an old one nobody took down.

Four Retailers Not to Buy AeraMax Filters From
WebstaurantStore has discontinued all three HEPA filters and all three carbon packs, and every one of those six pages still shows its old price sitting above the line "This product is no longer available."
Target and Wayfair do not sell the genuine Fellowes parts at all. Search either for a part number and you get Nispira or LifeSupplyUSA compatibles, which name the Fellowes number in the title. Wayfair does carry one Fellowes-branded listing, and its part number field says 9287001 on what it describes as a carbon filter, which cannot both be true.
Lowe’s lists the parts and prices none of them. Every page says the same thing: "Find My Store for pricing and availability."
Global Industrial lists the carbon packs as “Sold in packages of 4” on a part number that is itself a four-pack, so one order is either four filters or sixteen and the page does not resolve it. Its stock line, "Ships Same Day", is one of the better ones on this list, which makes the ambiguity more annoying.
Boneco W200 Filter and Consumables
This is the part people get wrong when they search for a “W200 filter.” There isn’t one.
The W200 is an evaporative air washer, so the air passes over a wet surface rather than through a filter medium. What it has instead is three consumables, and Boneco publishes an interval for each:
| Part | What it is | Replace |
|---|---|---|
| AW200 | Evaporator mat, the rotating wetted element | Every 24 months |
| A7017 | Ionic Silver Stick, antimicrobial silver | Every season |
| A7417 | CalcOff descaler | Descale every 2 to 3 weeks |
Boneco lists the AW200 as fitting the W200, W300 and W400 air washers plus the H300, H320 and H400 hybrids, so if you own more than one Boneco you can buy in quantity.
A note on the silver stick. Boneco’s own wording is replace every season, not once a year. For a humidifier used through one heating season those come to the same thing. If you run it year round they do not.
The A7417 instructions are specific: one packet in a litre of hot water, soak the base for sixty minutes. A three-pack is three descales, which at the stated interval is roughly two months of use.
Cleaning schedule, from the W200 manual: clean the water base, drum and evaporator mat every two weeks. Clean the fan and inner area yearly. After three days without operation, empty the base and refill with fresh water.
That last one catches people out after a holiday. Standing water in a switched-off humidifier is exactly the condition you are trying to avoid. More on why in air washer vs humidifier.
Components are dishwasher safe, which makes the two-week clean less of a chore than it sounds.
Boneco H680 Filters
The H680 is the hybrid, so it does have a real filter. Accessories listed on the Boneco H680 page are the A681 hybrid filter, the AH700 evaporator mat, AH705 silencing grease, the A7017 silver stick and A7417 CalcOff.
The A681 is a combined HEPA and activated carbon filter. Boneco describes the HEPA element as removing over 99% of PM2.5 and fine dust, with the carbon layer handling smoke, VOCs, formaldehyde and odours. It fits the H680 and H700.
Boneco does not publish a replacement interval for the A681. Its own product page for that part states compatibility and nothing about frequency.
The AH700 is in the same position. No US listing, no published interval that I could reach, and do not assume it matches the AW200’s 24 months, because it is a different part for a different machine.
If you have the H680 manual in front of you and it states an interval, that beats everything above, and I would like to know what it says.
Boneco Parts Availability in the US
Genuine Boneco consumables are effectively unavailable in the United States as of August 3, 2026.
Boneco’s own online store is Swiss and prices everything in Swiss francs. There is no US storefront at boneco.us. The official BONECO brand store on Amazon US lists eight genuine accessories, including the A681, and every single one shows as currently unavailable. The genuine AW200 and A7017 have no BONECO-branded US listing at all, only European ones on the German, Spanish and Belgian sites.
What is in stock domestically is third-party compatibles. There are plenty of them, they are well reviewed, and I am not linking them, because the manufacturer documentation for both brands on this page says to use branded parts and washing or substituting them voids the performance claim. Recommending a compatible while quoting that instruction would be arguing with myself.
If you need a genuine Boneco part in the US right now, the honest answer is to contact Boneco directly and ask about distribution, or to buy from Europe and pay the shipping. Neither is satisfying. If Boneco sorts out US distribution I will update this page the week it happens.
Replacement Filter Questions
Which filter fits my AeraMax 90?
HEPA part 9287001 and carbon part 9324001. Those same filters fit the AeraMax 100 and the DX5.
How often should I change an AeraMax carbon filter?
About every three months per the product manual. Fellowes’ website FAQ says six months to a year, but that table appears to cover the commercial Pro line. The manual that came with your unit is the one to follow.
Can I wash and reuse an AeraMax filter?
Fellowes says no, in every manual, and that washing them stops them working. Neither filter is designed to be cleaned. Fellowes also states that only its own branded filters should be used, and warns that non-Fellowes filters affect warranty coverage on the commercial Pro line.
Does the Boneco W200 have a filter?
No. It uses an evaporator mat (part AW200, every 24 months), an Ionic Silver Stick (A7017, every season per Boneco’s own wording) and a descaler (A7417, every two to three weeks). The water does the filtering.
Where can I buy genuine Boneco parts in the US?
As of August 3, 2026, effectively nowhere. The official BONECO Amazon store shows every accessory as unavailable, Boneco’s own store is Swiss, and what remains domestically is third-party compatibles that the manufacturer documentation argues against. Contact Boneco about distribution or buy from Europe.
Why does my AeraMax filter light come on early?
It is not a simple timer. Fellowes says the indicator factors in air quality as well as run time, so a dusty room calls for a change sooner.
How do I reset the AeraMax filter indicator?
Hold the filter icon for three to five seconds until it beeps, toggle to the filter you replaced, then hold that one until you hear a short beep and the light goes out. Fellowes publishes the procedure in its AeraMax FAQ and in each product manual.
Which machine to own in the first place, and what each one is actually rated for, is on the air care hub.
