3.0 out of 5 stars Fresh air...., July 25, 2005

This review is from: Bionaire BAP1500-U Tower Air Purifier (Kitchen)

The unit produces fresh, buoyant air with a minimum of noise on the low setting. Noisy to very noisy on the medium to high settings, but then you would only need to use those settings when called for, such as when I cook. The oscillation option is unnecessary for this unit and it has an annoying click when it snaps back in the other direction. Also, the back panel covering the filters seems flimsy. Still, this unit seems more functional (and less expensive) than many other filters I examined.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does What It's Supposed To Do, April 4, 2006

I'm giving the Bionaire four stars because it does what it's advertised to do. If you suffer from severe alergies or asthma, this probably will not help you.

The Bionaire BAP1500 has given me a large degree of relief during allergy seasons. My allergies aren't acute but I usually go through several uncomfortable weeks each fall and spring. If I run the Bionaire at night in my bedroom (10x15), I sleep just fine. On the other hand, you would need at least two of these for a large living room or dining room.

Other features:

Three separate speeds, plus ionic air filtering as well.

Easy to clean.

Gets noisy if using the high air flow setting.

3.0 out of 5 stars BAP 1500 U, December 11, 2005

A good air cleaner but noisy even on low. Also they have an oscillating feature that mokes a click on the one side. Both that I have make the same click.
Filter cleaning is easy but the stage one filter gets dirty very quickly. I vacuum it regularly and rinse and clean the stage one about every 10 days. Both the ion feature and the replaceable filters make this an easy choice for the money, but, do not discount the noise factor and the click in oscillation.
I also would not use in a construction area to keep down the dust. The outside of the tower acts like a magnet in heavt dust.
