This one actually works
After having tried other air purifier models I have finally found something that helps with our allergies. It's amazing to see how dirty the filter is when it is time to change the filters - kind of like when you empty a vacuum cleaner bag. It's hard to believe there is so much stuff in the air. I have found it much easier to replace the filter every 6 months than...

Power supply hums & watch out for refurbished units
Pros: Nice looking, easy to operate, filter replacements are not too costly ($39), compared to some other companies.
Cons: There is a low-pitch humming noise from the unit at the low fan speed that is a little annoying.
For $399, be sure you receive a brand new unit from Alen, not a refurbished one like I did.

This one actually works, August 23, 2006
This review is from: Alen A350 Air Purifier
After having tried other air purifier models I have finally found something that helps with our allergies. It's amazing to see how dirty the filter is when it is time to change the filters - kind of like when you empty a vacuum cleaner bag. It's hard to believe there is so much stuff in the air. I have found it much easier to replace the filter every 6 months than having to clean a filter weekly. The unit is a bit loud on the highest fan speed setting and found it works best to run it on speed 3 or 4 before I go to sleep and then lower it to speed 1 or 2. On the lower fan speed settings it sounds more like white noise and after a couple days of running the unit I forgot it was on.

Works well, September 26, 2005
This review is from: Alen A350 Air Purifier
The room with this product in it gets cleaned periodically, and we noticed a significant reduction in the amount of dust on the furniture, so I would say this filter is working well. Online sites rate this Air Purifier as removing over 95% of air borne particles in a controlled situation, making it comparable to $600+ models, and far superior to the products you see on those info-mercials.
I would say this product is great, but you should do your own research.

The A350 Is A Breath Of Fresh Air, December 26, 2007
I purchased the Alen A350 after a lot of research. Our bedroom is quite large but we keep the unit fairly close to the bed. We noticed the improvement immediately (we've had for approx 4 months now). The next to highest speed is what we prefer and it is not super quiet but, hey it's a fan - what do you expect? When we want, we drop the fan speed down a notch and it is quiet. Very simple to operate right out of the box, and is effective. I recommend.

Very pleased thus far., April 6, 2008
This review is from: Alen A350 Air Purifier
After spending some time researching the large number of air purifiers on the market, I decided this would be the best option in regard to price, efficiency and quality. The A350 had good reviews for the most part, so I went ahead and ordered it. The anticipation was high waiting for it to arrive and, since its arrival, it has not let us down. This seems like a well-built product and I anticipate many years of service out of it (it comes with a lifetime warantee). It's got four fan speeds, and we seem to use 2 the most, particularly when sleeping. Three and four are a bit too noisy, four being fairly aggressive. We like this though, particularly if we've been away from the house for a while and we want some quick air cleaning. The controls on the machine are simple yet very functional, and it seems to me that my sinuses are not as clogged since having this purifier. This review is fairly long, but the reviews were very helpful to me in choosing a product. This is the only air purifier I have ever owned, but am very happy with it this far. I hope this review has been helpful. I'd say get one if you're reading this and considering it. You've got nothing to lose but some air pollution.

effective and a good value, July 5, 2008
This review is from: Alen A350 Air Purifier
The only caveat is that I've had it for but a month. That said, it's still as quiet (low speed) as I need. Additional speeds are noisy. Keeping the filter clean is easy- after I figured out how to access it. Which brings me to one small issue. The instruction book is an after-thought at best. Good illustrations to accompany the too brief text would improve things. Perhaps their site could be more thorough in providing info. However, it is worth noting that the few questions I had, were answered quickly and completely. Time will tell, particularly regarding the quietness that it currently exhibits, but so far it's a very effective unit. It delivers as promised.

Very happy!, February 25, 2008
This review is from: Alen A350 Air Purifier
After doing a good deal of research, I purchased the A350 for our 1 bedroom apartment in NYC primarily for the dust. We've only had it for about a month, but I couldn't be happier. The setup it very easy, it runs very quiet (we keep it on speed 2 while we're in the room, and speed 3 while we're out and asleep), and it's worked wonders on our dusty apartment. If we have people over, we can put it down to level 1 and you can't even hear it on. Level 4 does sound like it's about to take off, but we've been fine leaving it on 3. Before we used it, I had to dust every single day...literally. We are in an older building, overlooking a construction site. Now, since we've started using it, I've only had to dust once, maybe twice a week. Of course it doesn't get rid of all of the dust, but it's been so amazing that I've already ordered the tabletop Alen T100 for the bedroom. And now they ship an all white model of the A350 (no more blue front!). Definitely recommend!

A good buy, August 13, 2008
This review is from: Alen A350 Air Purifier
It definitely removes odor from the air in my studio apartment, which is about 450 square feet. It is particularly effective with the "Ionizer" turned on. However, I only use this feature occasionally (e.g., right after cooking fish), as I worry about potential adverse health effects. I don't know whether such concern is truly warranted, but after the debacle with Sharper Image's purifiers, better safe than sorry.
The only drawback I can think of is the cost of replacement filters. That said, given that the machine is cleaning the air in your living space, something's got to handle the dirt/dust/germs, thus the price for a new filter is hardly a deal-breaker.

breath free, December 2, 2008
This review is from: Alen A350 Air Purifier
After much research and wasted money on air filters that simply did not work, I have found an air filter which I am satisfied with and could afford. Even the replacement filters were reasonably priced compaired to the others.
I was discouraged when most of the top rated air purifications systems I was looking at were priced out of my price range; $700 and above, then I happened upon the Aleon and was pleasantly surprised.It was reasonably priced and had an eviormentally friendly ionizer option,features I was looking for.
The Aleon filter when set on 2 creates white noise which even my noise sensative partner can tolerate. I wake up able to breath, feeling refreshed, a first for me. And my partner had to agree that even he was breathing easier in the morning.
I am very satisfied.

works well, July 9, 2008
This review is from: Alen A350 Air Purifier
Received the unit in 4 days in Hawaii(amazing)My only complaint is it was making a loud ticking noise at all speeds right out of the box. I contacted tech support. They responded in a few days by email. They told me how to open the unit and tighten a loose nut. It did fix the problem and works fine now. It helps with our vog on the Big Island.
