Hi guys! Today we'll compare tree cabin air filters from Mann. The basic one vs the advanced one vs the premium FreciousPlus.
Let's see if there's any difference between them and which should we buy. This video was not sponsored by Mann or anyone else.
❗ Note: In this video I stated that the odor absorbing performance of the activated carbon filters is a certain percentage. However, this is wrong because I calculated this percentage based on the control value which was maxed out at 2mg due to equipment limitations. The control value could have been 2.1mg or 100mg, therefore we can't calculate the exact value for this parameter. But, nevertheless, we can see a reduction, which is a good thing.

More information about the tests:
After a lot of failed attempts at measuring and calculating the filtration performance of these filters, I ended up following this procedure.
Each test was repeated 3 times. The control was performed 3 times, the dust test, the smoke test, the VOC test, the gas exhaust test and the diesel exhaust test.
Only the maximum recorded value was taken into account, so I ended up having 3 values for each test.
The average between these 3 values was reported as the final value mentioned in the video.
The dust test: 2.2g of cement powder was used. For this test the powder was distributed evenly across the filter surface by the fan suspended above the filter. The fan below the filter provided additional suction that ensured adequate filtration absorption.
The smoke test: 50 square mm of paper was used to create smoke for this test. The paper was placed on the bulb which burned the paper. The smoke was trapped in the box above the filter and after exactly 50sec, the fan was switched on the pull the smoke through the filter.
The VOC test: 4 drops of acetone placed on a pad was used for this test. The pad was positioned 2.5cm from the filter surface.
The gas exhaust test: my motorcicle was used for this test. Suzuki V-Strom 1000 from 2002. The engine was turned on for 10 sec and the exhaust was positioned 1.5m from the filter housing.
The diesel exhaust test: the car used for this test was a Skoda Roomster with a 1.4 TDI Euro 4 engine. The engine was turned on for 10 sec and the exhaust was positioned 1.5m from the filter housing.
Please take into consideration, that the measuring equipment used is not calibrated by any means. It is used only for determining if there are any differences between products.

Awesome test Sergiu! Two years ago I went from a basic filter to the very same Mann premium one that you have tested and I noticed a reduction in odors, specially when driving behind a diesel car. However, if I’m driving behind an old truck or some vehicle that generates a lot of smoke I can still smell it moderately. Pollen filtration is very good as well but the basic filter was decent in that aspect too.

After 2 month of use i can say it's definitely a very marginal difference. Maybe be more prominent for other people that haven't lost their nose because of covid. But i still think it's somewhat more fresh air. I feel better after i been in my car...
@3mariusx
@3mariusx 3 года назад
Carl Strandberg the difference from original to polyphenol one is very big but the main problem is the severe air obstruction. I will soon try the simple carbon one for my new car because i suspect there isn’t much difference comparing to poly ones but the air is not so obstructed on the simple carbon one
@Xfacehack
@Xfacehack 3 года назад
@@3mariusx So the cabin fan has to work more and you get less air into the car? I haven't noticed that to be honest. I been running my fan on all speeds, full speed for a long time etc. Also both my dad and my younger brother has borrowed my car plus a couple of friends. They all been super happy with the a/c (nothing to do with this) and the smell/wind speed from the vents. Now when i think about it. I haven't noticed smells from farmers lands at all. I seems to filter out those strong odors very well.

Very nice comparison test but one important thing you forgot to emphasize is that the manufacturer suggests the premium filter's polyphenol coating will prevent bacterial and mold growth which leads to odors coming from the filter itself and not from the outside. Good luck!

Hey man! Was waiting for your video and wasn't disappointed. I have the Frecious filter installed in a Passat B8 and I could see the difference in particle - smoke and odours - filtration from the basic filter from before. The difference really is noticeable, especially in traffic. What I don't like, and it might be the filter's fault, the windshield is very , very foggy in the morning with this filter. Didn't had any problems with the basic one from before...

Check the drains under your window behind the engine, might be clogged. Of so you will get severe water problems innside 😳 Also you can have one window down 3 cm and have a heater fan in the car over night to dry it out, since many times there is just a little moist in the fabric, roof and floor

Great video test Sergiu! For my car not only MANN, but Purflux and Mahle do produce the 3 types as well and I haven't check for others. I was wondering if I should buy the most expensive one (new), where I have been always putting the carbon(advanced type) for smell control and smog, which have served me well as your test have shown in comparison to the Basic filter to my personal experience? The price for the most expensive one is x2 to the Advanced filter, so I am wondering if it's worth it to replace it as twice as often or just keep going the same way as I am pleased with the Advanced? A degradation test could be something you can do in another video, as some filters tend to get clogged way before usual replacement period that the manufacturer recommends. Thumbs up!

At work I've changed thousands of filters and the basic one many times you can almost drop a pen through and you certainly CAN read small letters and see straight through it 😂 and it barely have any surface area. On Toyota they are so cheap that they moves when the fan is on and big leafs even go past it.... For approximately 20% higher price for the carbon one you many times get 3 times the surface area and just the feel of it is many times better. And the premium that have surfaced after the pandemic at least the brand we use a lot (Corteco and Purflux use bosh also but less of them since they cost more for less) have a HEPA rated filter with really large surface area (it contains less activated charcoal to get more pleats in it gor better airflow and performance on pollen and dust) and it is from 10 to 40% increase in price from the basic useless one. We never go for the basic since it is many times totally garbage and doesn't actually fit tight or is floppy and falls apart. Only European Ford i demand that it does NOT contain charcoal as they have it mounted all the way into the AC coil and it soaks in water, every time after one year they have severe ammount of mould on the INNSIDE part of the filter!!!!! And it smells mouldy in the car. Owners should file a lawsuit against Ford for that design since it is a serious health issue and it's been like that from 2006 models and even brand new ones... Every time mouldy. So i disinfect the shit out of the coil every service

I think it's fair to note that there are no cabin air filters that claim they can take out the smell of rotten eggs. And this is a good thing. Because if you have a rotten anything under your hood, you should probably be able to smell it so you can remove it. Common sense. I think it's great to test out products in a way everyone can understand. Although in this particular video, some basic science was ignored. Like the weight of cement dust in comparison to the weight of pollen and other regular dust particles that you may find in a real-life scenario. Also, smoke rises. And we are generally talking about cigarette smoke and perhaps smoke from a nearby forest fire. But burning paper being pulled downwards is not the same thing. So, if you had used the correct materials and the correct way of collecting the info, it would have been more accurate. The think I learned is that for gases and exhaust, the premium filter didn't do as well as the advanced one. So wouldn't waste my money on premium.
