Customer Review: FORGET THE NOISE, IT WORKS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I AM A SKEPTIC, BUT AFTER SLEEPING GREAT ON THE FIRST NIGHT AFTER PLUGGING IT IN I WAS SOLD, SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE. THE AIR QUALITY IS 100% BETTER. NO MORE SNEEZING, COUGHING.I ALSO HAVE REDUCED SNORING DUE TO THE CLEAN AIR.
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
Customer Review: Fantastic Air Purifier
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this air purifier for almost a year now. I'm a college student, and there is a ton of disgusting black dust in the apartment dorm that I'm living in. This cleaner does an amazing job picking up great amounts of dust, hair, and other particles which you can see on the black pre-filter. While it is loud on the "high" setting, it works just fine on the "low" setting. A good idea is to put it on "high" when you are out of the room, and when you come back, set it on "low".
For almost a year of using it without ever shutting it off, I've never had a problem with it. The air smells clean and the filter does its job. What more could you ask for? If you're looking for an air filter for a bedroom or office, this is the perfect choice.
Customer Review: Functionality Versus Quiet
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this unit to try and assist the whole house aircleaner that we have on our central air system. I was amazed at how much dirt that this unit removed from our bedroom. While it does the job it is supposed to do, it is still a bit on the loud side even when placed on the lowest setting. I am not sure that there is any way around this noise as it is caused by the amount of air that the unit moves through the filter.
In many respects, getting used to the noise level of this unit is like getting used to the sound of a Grandfather clock. At first it is extremely iritating, but with time it becomes less noticable. The important part is that it functions as advertised and it does remove a lot of material from the air. Since this is the function that I was after, it does what it was supposed to do. I can sleep again without all of the iritation that my allergies cause.
The secondary filter (carbon filter) really does need to be changed or vacuumed off every couple of months. This filter acts as a pre-filter for the main filter and will quickly fill with dust. As a suggestion, use a good vacuum with a hepa filter to clean it with or you will just be sending dust back into your room. The carbon filter pack that Amazon sells works well and each filter will actually give you two filters since you need to cut each one in half to fit this unit (there are perforations in the filter to allow you to do this easily).
I am happy enough with this unit that I have just ordered another one to place in my home office. Remember, that this filter will only do a medium size room and will not be effective for a large room or for a whole house application!
The reason that I gave this a 4 out of 5 rating is that while the unit claims to be very quiet, that would be a matter of opinion and I think it is a bit on the loud side. However, I can live with it and you become used to it after a bit of time.
Customer Review: GOOD!
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good product for the people who have allergy to mites.
My running nose symptom was greatly alleviated in two days.
the only defect is that this purifier is a little bit noisy.
Customer Review: Gets It Done
Summary: 4 Stars
Powerful air purifier, but a fairly quiet motor, especially on low. Cleans the air well, but it can take time to clear the air of cigarette smoke. Replacement pre-filters are a tad pricey, but over-all, if you want an effective and powerful air cleaner, this is your baby.
