Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for large rooms up to 19 by 21 feet, this air purifier changes the air up to six times per hour and provides a CADR of 260 for smoke, 260 for dust, and 260 for pollen. Its effective three-speed whisper-quiet fan draws air into the unit without excessive noise, and exhausts clean, purified air back into the room from the top of the unit to avoid stirring up settled particles. The purifier also comes equipped with a permanently charged HEPAtech filter that effectively captures 99.97-percent of all airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns in size that pass through the filter. An ionizer with a separate on/off switch distributes negative ions throughout the room to enhance the cleaning process.

For 30-percent better odor reduction, the unit's separate carbon prefilter reduces cooking, tobacco, and pet odors while also capturing larger dust particles, lint, and pet hair from dirty air. Other details include easy-to-use programmable digital LCD controls, and digital LCD filter-change indicators. Even more, the unit's space-saving slim-line styling fits flush against the wall, so it won't encroach on living areas or interfere with household activities. Replacement filters (the 30901 prefilter and 30931 filter) are sold separately. The air purifier measures approximately 17 by 10 by 21 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.

This review is from: Hunter 30378 19-Feet by 21-Feet Hepa Tech Room Air Purifier for Large Rooms (Kitchen)

I've been running the older version of this air purifier 24 X 7 for over 10 years...maybe 12. It is backed up against a wall in a vaulted-ceiling room between a piano and organ where cats like to play. It takes up very little space and consumes a great deal of dust and hair. The exhaust blows straight up the wall which is perfect for this location. Recently, it began emitting a high-pitch, undulating squeal. I assumed that the sealed bearing on the motor shaft was wearing out. So, I ordered this new Hunter Air Purifier. In the mean time, I placed the old squeaky cleaner on its back and soaked the motor shaft with CRC Heavy Duty silicone spray while turning the shaft with my hand for 5 minutes. That was a month ago and it is still running as smoothly and quietly as new. The new cleaner is still in the box, however, I did test it to make certain that it was in good working order.

How would you like to save a ton of money?

Just like printer companies sell their printers at a bargain and then charge a fortune for the ink cartridges, air-cleaner manufacturers employ the same tactics with their disposable filters. Check their prices. OUCH! $30.00 to $60.00. For years I've been using the same pleated, high-efficiency filters that I use in our central heat and air system. I buy them by the case lot(12), online from ACE Hardware for $4.00 each (free shipping to store) and cut them to fit the Hunter Air Purifier. ACE runs frequent sales.

UPDATE 11-4-11 SAVE EVEN MORE MONEY

At Amazon.Com's current price of $9.92 for a carbon pre filter, that's $119.16 per year for each air cleaner if you change prefilters once a month. What if you run multiple units? Two units will cost you $238.43 just for carbon prefilters for one year. 5StarFilter offers a 100' X 24.5" roll for $293.00 which will make 154 filters. That price includes FedEx home delivery. That's enough prefilters for a 6-year supply for 2 units and you pay only $1.90 for each carbon prefilter. Buying 154 prefilters one at a time will cost you $1,529.00. That's a savings of $1,236 over 6 years.

All you have to do is cut off a 15 1/2 inch section. Cut that section in half lengthwise and you have 2 filters. The only downside is that some carbon particles will crumble off when cutting. Cut over newspaper or either outside. It's worth it for me.

Giving out other links in reviews is often cause for rejection, so...

Search: Carbon Roll Media at 5 Star Filters

Of all the air cleaners running in our home, this Hunter is the least expensive to run 24 X 7 because I can make alternative filters. This is not the case with the large barrel-shaped cleaners that circulate air 360 degrees. When the barrel-shaped air cleaners die, I replace them with these Hunter wall-huggers.

When my back is against the wall, I don't go to the mall. I look for a bargain. That usually begins with Amazon.Com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Air Purifier, October 4, 2007

This review is from: Hunter 30378 19-Feet by 21-Feet Hepa Tech Room Air Purifier for Large Rooms (Kitchen)

I cannot believe what a great job this air purifier does. It is so quite that you forget that it is there. I have asthma and purchased this hoping it would help. At first I thought that it was not working but gradually I started feeling better and the dust (I live in a leaky old house)has gradually dissapeared from the living area. The only drawback is having to clean the filters often but that is easier than dusting ceilings!

5.0 out of 5 stars best air purifier ever, June 9, 2010

This review is from: Hunter Fans HEPAtech Programmable Floor Air Purifier For Rooms Up To 19' x 21'

I have tried many different types of air purifiers until I got one from Hunter. Initially I got one for the basement so it would not get the musty odor. I liked it so much that I got one for each room in the house. If anyone is allergic to cats, I run the purifier for an hour or two before they come over and they don't react to my cats. Smoke, cooked fish odor, burnt toast etc. These purifiers are awesome. Just be sure to vacuum the outer charcoal filter so the inner filter lasts longer. You will be amazed. I recommend the one with an ionizer-you get the fresh air after a rain smell. 5 stars for sure....
