The check filter light is flashing, but the filter appears to be in decent condition. Not sure how to turn off this flashing light as I do not have the remote control. Otherwise this works great and comes from a smoke and pet free home. It appears that the filter has plenty of life left on it. What you see is exactly what you will receive. I will be sure to package it very carefully for a safe delivery. Lower 48 states shipping only. These are very expensive. High-quality filtration air purifiers. This one belong to my grandmother and she has gone into assisted-living so we no longer have a reason to keep it.
