5.0 out of 5 stars Great Air Cleaner, April 15, 2007

By	Dr. Randall Watson (McPherson, KS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought one of these at Wal-Mart to replace an expensive Honeywell that I had in my house for many years. It finally died and I went to buy another one just like it, but it was no longer available. I decided to try to this one and have been very impressed.

The unit is quiet, not like the other review. The auto setting automatically adjusts when the air is dirty. In the morning after my wife sprays her hairspray, the unit in our bedroom kicks up to high for a few minutes to clear the air!

I am so impressed by this unit, that I have purchased six more, for a total of seven. We have a large house and I want two in my living area, two in my family room, one in my bedroom and one in each kid bedroom.

The unit is much quieter than the Honeywell and I like the fact that I do not have to replace the filter.

Only time will tell if it is a good product for several years, but right now this is a GREAT PRODUCT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great purifier!, February 25, 2007

By	A. Rigby "sickofreality" (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was really hesitant at buying this product as it is much cheaper compared to other ionic/hepa filter purifiers..but this is really a great product and was very surprised at just how well it works. It has multiple settings, an auto sensor that will allow it to adjust itself, the filter never needs to be changed..only cleaned 3-6 months.

It has improved our air quality so much at home. We have 2 dogs and 2 kids running around this home, pet dandor and dust galore! You could normally see it in the air at times it was so much (through the sun rays coming in the windows) and now we don't see it nearly as much if hardly at all. This is a great buy for the price, I highly recommend it. We haven't had one problem with it since we bought it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as quiet as I would have liked., February 8, 2008

By	L. Curtin "flutelaura" (Palm Bay, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I did a LOT of research on air cleaners before I decided to purchase this model. My order was canceled twice without explanation before I actually had an order ship. That isn't even the reason I give this a four (4). It's not very quiet at all. It's about the sound of a window air conditioner, which wouldn't be bad, but I do not like when they advertise it as "whisper" quiet. It's louder than a whisper!

It is easily picked up and is very portable. I do notice a significant difference in the dust in my bedroom where I have the unit. It has not helped my allergies at all; I didn't purchase this actually for my allergies as they aren't all that bad, but I did expect it to help with the cat hair and dust - that it has done.

So if you do not have allergies and want a unit that's priced about $100.00 and only want it to help with pet hair, dander and dust, this is the unit for you. If you have allergies, do not purchase this unit. I believe you need to research a model that is much more expensive. This unit is NOT a true HEPA!

It is easy to assemble and clean and I do like the fact that I do not have to purchase new filters; an average cost of $125.00 a year for most units. So for $100.00 - a one time expenditure - this isn't a bad unit.
