Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 30730 Quietflo HEPA Small-Tower, Three-Speed Air Purifier with Ionizer

Customer Review: Great Air Purifier
Summary: 4 Stars

We bought this for our daughter's bedroom after we found out that she is allergic to our cats. The three speed are great. We put it on the daytime setting during the day and it does make a good bit of noise on this setting. During the night we put it in night mode and it is very very quiet. I highly reccommend it!

Customer Review: Hunter Air Purifier
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this product solely for providing "white noise" in my twins' nursery. During the day, when there is minimal noise in the house, I put it on the lowest or medium speed. In the evening, when the other kids are home (and bathing in the adjacent room,) I put it on the highest setting.
The highest setting I'd say is like sitting next to a running vacuum cleaner. The lowest setting would be tolerable for me if I had to have an air purifier in the room all the time.
Overall, they sleep much sounder since it has been in their room.... great for my intended purpose.

Customer Review: Keeps the air clean and odor free
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this primarily to reduce pollen in the air to keep my allergies under control. It seems to have helped, and I've found it is also great at eliminating pet odors (if I don't run it, the room starts to smell like our dog).

The filter replacement indicator is helpful, and the filters last a reasonable length of time.

I run it on low most of the time, which seems to be enough for it to do its job. It's not whisper quiet on low, but I find the noise level acceptable and I sleep with it running right next to my bed. Medium and high speeds are quite noisy and therefore I use them only to try to clear an odor in a hurry.

Customer Review: Seems to do no good - more plastic junk!
Summary: 1 Stars

I was given this purifier (actually the similar 30748) after my landlord ordered to help with a neighbor's smoke. I had ordered a Surround Air 3000 for myself. I plugged this in and noticed how loud it was. The filter is like an accordion folded sheet of vinyl fabric single thickness. The unit emits air that smells like burning plastic for lack of better term - very strange but the unit is working fine or at least blows air. It actually makes the air smell worse that the smoke almost.

The Surround Air machine has a very thick paperlike hepa filter and various odor filters. The air coming out of it is sweet and fresh, but still too small to handle my living room. Compared to the Hunter though, it is much much better. It would be my advice to spend a little more on a better product that something you will toss in a year or so when you need to buy a new filter and realize it was not that good to begin with. We do not need more plastic junk clogging up the landfill.
