Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This compact and ultra-quiet air cleaner filters dust, pollen, tobacco smoke, pet dander, and mold spores out of your home environment for fresher, cleaner air. The unit has a five-stage filtration system along with an ionizer for further particle removal before cleaned air is released back into the room. Additionally, it has a HEPA filter, which removes 99.97 percent of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. A monitor on the HEPA filter detects when it needs to be replaced and indicates so via a light on the display panel. Three fan speeds let you adjust air to your comfort level. This air cleaner works best in a room sized at 154 square feet or less and is covered by a 2-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Purrs along perfectly,

This review is from: Bionaire LC1060 HEPA Air Cleaner (Kitchen)
The reviews here sealed the deal for me, though I'd been considering an air filter for some time. At last I have one. I don't have any regrets about this Bionaire unit. Not only is the sound of the internal cylindrical fan very quiet, it even becomes rather soothing after awhile. Is there any downside to this very inexpensive unit? Only one: the unit has no timer (though even some more expensive units lack a timer), so if you'd like to cycle it on and off through the day (to conserve electricity, for example) then you may want to pick up one of those inexpensive electrical outlet timers to cycle the unit off and on. But the manual says you can leave the unit on its lowest setting forever if you'd like. I have this Bionaire air filter running in a small room in which I share my bed with my computer and various stereo componants (actually, they're not in the bed with me, but nearby). With the use of the Bionaire, I've seen a reduction in the amount of dust these electronics tended to attract, though it has not - as one review implied it might - entirely alleviated the need to vacuum...but that was more of a dream than a real expectation anyhow. I am very pleased with this unit and have suggested it to friends. I also want to mention the aesthetics of the unit: It has nice pillow-like curves, a soft appearance that suits a bedroom just fine. It is a neutral color that further helps it vanish from your attention.

Pretty good buy,

This review is from: Bionaire LC1060 HEPA Air Cleaner (Kitchen)
Having read the reviews carefully, I ordered the Bionaire LC1060 and find that it does indeed do a good, quick job of making the air in my office much more pleasant to breathe. But it's not quiet: it's not bad when the fan is turned low, but it's not particularly quiet.Caveat emptor: The Bionaire was shipped in its thin cardboard, store-shelf box -- label stuck on the outside. The box arrived broken, but the machine itself was fine. It carries a warning label -- !Call this 800 number before using! It appeared to be a safety warning, so I called before plugging the Bionaire in, and got a computer which asked me to state which model number I'd bought. LC 1060, I said carefully. Sorry, please repeat. LC 1060, I said again -- several more times until I slammed down the phone. I found a customer service number in the manual, and after 8 or 10 minutes on hold, was greeted by a live voice. It turns out the purpose of the warning label is simply to allow them to try to sell you other Bionaire products. Ignore the red-yellow warning label! At Amazon's price, this is a pretty good buy. But there is an element of sleaze in the shipping and labelling. Some day there will be a medium size air cleaner at a good price which is also truly quiet!

All in all, a pretty good product.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bionaire LC1060 HEPA Air Cleaner (Kitchen)
I enjoy the occasional cigar and, as my wife will tell you, cigars are best appreciated outdoors (especially the golf course!). However as a Chicagoland resident this is only an option about 7 months out of the year. Since the Bionaire LC1060 was rated to remove air pollutants such as dust, pet dander (we have a dog), pollen (wife has allegies) and smoke, I thought I would give it a try. Here's how it went. The unit arrived as scheduled. It came in its own box, which was fairly beaten up. The plastic case was cracked about 2" near one of the intake grill release buttons. A little super glue easily fixed it. Since the ionization feature was important to me, I paid particular attention to the instruction manual section on ion emmitter pin maintenance. Maintenance is simple, but I had a lot of trouble locating the pins within the unit. The instructions are not very clear and there is no diagram. Maybe it was just me, but it took a couple of calls to customer service (who were very easy to reach and helpful) to determine their location. If your interested, they look like the tip of a sewing needle and stick straight up about 1/4" out of two small holes in the top of the gray plastic box located between the fan cylinders as you look down through the top of the air exhaust grill. The unit functions as advertised quite well. Access to both the HEPA and carbon filters is easy. The fan noise is acceptable - low speed is hardly heard and high is loud but not annoying. The unit imparts a clean, fresh smell to the room air with the ion emmiters on and it even captured about 99% of the cigar smoke I generated watching Monday Night Football. There was a slight stale smell in the room Tuesday morning, but that might be my fault for not running the unit long enough to completely clean the air. I am operating the unit at the limit of the recommended room size. All in all, a pretty good product.
