All this did was make continuous noise in the bathroom. The plug-in from the grocery store was far superior.

I'm adding a point for superior service from Best Point Sales; otherwise, I would have given this a three.

Best Point Sales got this item to me faster than I expected, and they threw in two extra filters for free. The item was in perfect condition and even included the registration paper. I would most definitely buy from this vendor again.

However, I would not buy another TrueAir odor remover. The appliance does remove odors, don't get me wrong. And it is compact, though it's only slightly smaller than its nearest competitor, the Febreze Odor Eliminator. The thing that puts the Febreze ahead of this model, though, is the fan. The TrueAir's fan is really loud. Distractingly so.

If you're going to be plugging this into a room where noise is not an issue, like for instance a busy garage, then this is a good buy. You also might want to consider it if the white noise is a bonus, like in a dorm room with thin walls. However, if you're plugging this into a room where you need quiet, I would recommend the Febreze model over this one.

Works great at eliminating both odors and dust, but changing the carbon filters is a pain. Especially since they don't sell them in stores.

i'm not sure if it makes a difference or not...i have mine near the door where my cats litter box room is, as there is no plug outlet inside the room for some reason. well, i opened up the machine to see how the filter looked as i haven't replaced it since i got it, and its pretty dirty. so, thinking logically, it does make a difference, albeit small because of its small size. best in a small room though, thats for sure! don't expect it to be ultra powerful, its pretty small, duh.

I've owned this model for 7 years I'm guessing, and continually clean the filter with my home air compressor. I have purchased filters for it over the years on line, so I do from time to time change the filters out without using my air compressor, saves some money if you clean the filters yourself . However, my True Air is "dead silent". So have no idea why these other reviews say it's loud unless they have the hearing of my Vizsla. Great product and have bought another one as well and it too is very quiet. The True Air does a wonderful job of removing "those" unpleasent odors.
