Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Lots of air purifiers come with filters that must be replaced, with the price being nearly that of the whole unit. Here's a way to get around spendy replacement filters. Designed to filter air in large rooms up to 510 square feet, the PermaLife air purifier from Hunter comes with a reusable HEPA filter that cleans easily with any household vacuum. That's right; the filter cleans easily for reuse and still captures 99.5 percent of particles down to 0.5 microns in size, eliminating pet hair, dust, lint, tobacco smoke smells, and more! And, by filtering room air six times over in one hour, prolonged cooking aromas and nasty pet odors are history. A separate ionizer enhances air cleaning and gives the room a fresh smell. Programmable, digital controls make it easy to adjust between setting options. An easy-to-read, LCD screen indicates which setting is active and how much life the filter has left in it. The PermaLife also comes with a remote control for easy operation from across the room. The unit's pre-filter protects the HEPA filter from larger particles for longer HEPA filtering. The carbon pre-filter also helps eliminate odors from smoking, cooking and other household odors, reducing common household odors 30 percent more efficiently than other leading brands.

Hunter 30546 PermaLife Three-Speed, Large-Room Air Purifier,
By Dana (Elon, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hunter 30546 PermaLife Three-Speed, Large-Room Air Purifier (Kitchen)
I purchased the Hunter 30546 Large-Room Air Purifier a little over a week ago and I am very satisfied with its performance. I have moderate to severe allergies and I use it primarily in my bedroom. A few days ago, we cooked fried chicken and of course, the house got a bit smokey. I moved the Hunter 30546 into the kitchen/living room area and turned it on. Within 30 minutes..the smell was gone and the air was nice and fresh! To give you some perspective as to my room sizes I'm using the unit to clean: My living room is about 20 x 25 feet (500 sq. ft.). My bedroom is about 15 by 15 feet (225 sq. ft.).
I'm not going to go into the features, as Amazon has already done a great job of describing them. I'm also not going into the specifications as the unit is CADR rated to make it easy to compare the performance and the rating system is effective in certifying the capabilities of the unit and in comparison with similar units. That said, I used to wake up sneezing most every morning with itchy, swollen and watery eyes. It is a miserable way to wake up. Every since I got this thing, I have not had ANY breathing related issues upon waking. My breathing is clear and quite frankly I am amazed. I went into this purchase thinking, well, maybe it will help a bit; any bit will help! In fact, I should have bought this years ago. When it quits. I'll buy another one! As far as sound levels: On low, it sounds about like a computer. On medium, it is about as loud as a bathroom fan. On high, you can tell it is moving quite a large volume of air; you can feel it and hear its "blower sound". The type of fan employed in the unit is a centrifugal type (think HVAC blower, NOT table fan (most table fans use the familiar "airplane propeller" type axial fan). The axial fan is quieter, but moves less air. The centrifugal blower-fan used in this unit moves more air, but is a bit noiser. I like to sleep with a fan on anyway, so the white noise generated by this unit is actually relaxing and it helps me to get to sleep. I am unable to comment on long term reliability or costs to operate as I've only had the unit for a short time. I will update the review as I live with this purifier longer! Would I purchase this unit again? Certainly.

Great Product, but...,

This review is from: Hunter 30546 PermaLife Three-Speed, Large-Room Air Purifier (Kitchen)
I own a related model of Hunter PermaLife air filtration system, the 30755. These are really great machines, and they do a truly good job of cleaning the air. The pre-filters aren't costly either.
The problem is with the "permanent filters". While you CAN vacuum a bit of the particulate off of the main filter, most of it stays inside. As a result, after 1-2 years, the main filter is filthy and can no longer clean the air adequately. There is a lot of cigarette smoking in my house - I noticed near the end of the filter's life span that the air it was shooting out the top stank like cigarette tar. Now, the machine actually does come with a disclaimer that you need to change the "perma-filter" when it finally wears out, but here is the real issue... Hunter no longer supports PermaLife machines. They don't sell the machines, and they do not sell replacement permanent filters. This is why I'm on Amazon looking for a new filtration system. Do yourself a favor - get a purifier that has replaceable filters.

5.0 out of 5 stars
best air purifier,
By Nancy Smythe (Cheektowaga, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hunter 30546 PermaLife Three-Speed, Large-Room Air Purifier (Kitchen)
Hunter 30546 PermaLife Three-Speed, Large-Room Air Purifier
I never smoked in my life and was recently diagnosed with COPD. I have really had problems with breathing etc. and have had an ionic purifier that did nothing to help my problem. I had a different hepa pufifier that made so much noise, even though it was suppose to be quiet, that I couldn't use it when anything else like the tv or radio was on or had company.We couldn't hear each other talking or have a conversation without shouting at each other. I purchased the hunter permalife filter and am grateful I did. It really is very quiet. It has three speeds and even the highest speed is quiet. (the equivelant of a fan on high.) The first two speeds are so quiet you really don't even notice it. I can play music quietly, watch tv at normal volume settings and have a quiet conversation. It also does a wonderful job cleaning the air. It improved my ability to breath at lease 90%. It is worth every penny and more. It is a 150% better than the ionic purifier that cost me a fortune and didn't work nearly as well and the hepa that made so much noise you couldn't hear anything else and did not come close to purifying the air as well as the permalife from Hunter. One more thing that made this so good is that the clean air is release from the top of the unit upward so it does not blow directly at you. The best purchase I have made would buy another without any hesitation. Nancy
