Product Description

This ozone-free filter with an attactive gray casing combines the top five technologies into one unit: air ionizer for particles, HEPA air filter for dust and allergens, germicidal UV light for micro-organisms, activated carbon filter for chemicals, smoke and odors, and an anti-bacterial pre-filter for larger particles. Tests show that true HEPA filters (recommended by the Dept. of Homeland Security) are more effective than any other type of air filter at capturing dust, pollen, ragweed, dust mites, mold spores and other allergens. Germicidal UV light air purification, which destroys micro-ogranisms, is recommended by the U.S. Centers of Disease Control (CDC). Furthermore, according to Penn State Dept. of Aerobiological researchers, carbon filters serve to remove odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemicals that other filters cannot. The Multi-Tech has multiple technologies to remove cigarette smoke and other odors, including the activated carbon filter and ionizer. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found negative ion air purification (ionizers) to be 99% effective at removing airborne dust & particles. Under normal circumstances, Multi-Tech replacement costs will run just $25 to $50 per year (for replacement filters and UV lamp each year). The Multi-Tech will only add a few dollars or so per month to your power bill. Its powerful fan increases air-cleaning efficiency by effectively moving the air. Even with the fan setting on high, the Multi-Tech is very quiet. The Multi-Tech air purifier has been awarded ETL safety certification and is maitenance free.

5.0 out of 5 stars I adore my air purifier -- most sensible thing I've ever bought!, February 11, 2009

I started to run this air purifier exactly 52 hours ago, and it has already changed my quality of life.

I have never owned an air purifier before. I have been literally choking on the air in my own apartment during the several months that I have been living here, and I had extremely unrealistic expectations about an air purifier: I imagined posting something like, "Wow! I could feel the difference after two hours!" Well, OK, it took more than two hours! But it happened.

I started it on low fan with the sanitizer disabled. Then I went to medium fan, then I added the sanitizer on low, then I put the fan on high and the sanitizer on medium. I awoke this morning no longer choking on the air and no longer confronted with the aggressive dusty odor with which I had come to associate my apartment. I left it today with the fan on high and the sanitizer on medium and returned tonight to a completely different atmosphere.

I am not afraid of the ozone produced by the sanitizer but if you are you can choose to run it only once in a while or never.

My only concern is that, unlike some other air purifiers, this one does not have a display light that indicates when the HEPA filter is dirty (and this HEPA filter is permanent if you have a hand vac although you can also choose to buy a replacement filter [also readily available through amazon]). Since this is my first air purifier, a dummy light would have been great. But I went for the price. I guess I'll know when the filter needs vacuuming or changing when I sense that the air is once again heavy with particles.

But no negatives. I love this thing. I want to hug it.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 Years and still working GREAT!, November 15, 2009

This review is from: Surround Air Multi-Tech XJ-3000D Air Purifier (Health and Beauty)

I bought my first XJ-3000 Surround air purifier in 2005. It's been in the bedroom ever since. The air always smells fresh and clean not musty. I bought two others for my boys. One was too loud. Sent it back and was replaced right away. Excellent service. That one review where the woman thought they weren't working...she forgot to remove the wrapping from the filter. I did that when I got a replacement filter. These work EXCELLENT! The ionization makes the air so fresh. I have run the one I bought in 2005 twenty four (24) hours a day seven (7) days a week and it still performs like it did when I bought it. Only issue is I replace the main filter every two years...here's a hint...take it out and vacuum it every three months or so. It will last a lot longer.

I have had several other purifiers and this is the best one I have owned. I have allergies and it helps with that. It is fairly quiet and removes alot of dust from the air.
