I spent a great deal of time comparing different purifiers: cost, performance, ease of use, noise, filter replacement, etc. This unit is superb in every respect. The unit is large but is very handsome and blends in well with the room. It has a very smooth fan that is not too loud but but you can really feel it move the air. There is one filter to replace and they are not terribly expensive and easy to find. In short, I think this unit really meets my needs while being fairly inexpensive and, over the past 6 months, 100% reliable.

this works really well compared to the smaller air purifer I usually use. The filters also cost much less to replace(make sure you buy a 4pack when you buy the purifier). It's quite large, and it is quiet, unless it's put on it's highest setting. Im going to take some pictures and upload them so others can see exactly how big it is.

I previously purchased TWO different air purifiers trying to find the best one (in the $75-$200 price range). One purifier was on the edge of the effective sq ft range for my bedroom, the other would have cost TONS in HEPA and pre-filters.

So...I decided to return those two and go with this one. The filters are going to be cheaper, it has better pollen filtration capacity then a lot of other purifiers and hey, this one just looks tons better! The unit does not produce a large amount of noise on low or medium. When you turn it on high the noise resembles that from an in window air conditioner. Also, this purifier is one of the only ones that covers such a large area (350 sq ft).

Like the other review states, it is pretty big but at least it is not a total eyesore!
