Seems to work great
5 out of 5 stars
Seems to work great
I’ve been “cheating” to extend the life of my filter by regularly vacuuming it out. On the lower settings, 3 and lower, it is very, very quiet. It’s not “loud” per se on 4 and 5 but certainly noticeable, ppl that would like white noise to sleep by I think would like it. At first I thought my breathing was easier, but that may be a placebo effect, but I’m not discounting it at all.. I’m hoping the UV lamp and filter are removing “gak” from the air. I got this filter to help preserve my mini-split AC unit from getting so dirty from my German Shepherd’s dander and dirt he brings in as the squirrel cage fan gets really dirty since they run 24/7 on the AC settings. I think this unit is worth the price.

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2016
Size: 1 PackColor: Black OnyxVerified Purchase
I bought this air purifier to replace a cheaply made, loud Holmes model that I bought from Walmart. To be fair, it did a decent job, but I wasn't impressed at all. So I ordered the Guardian because, I won't lie, I loved how it looked in the pictures and, more importantly, it had received universally great reviews. After using the Guardian for the past three days straight I can personally attest to the great reviews. This machine is quiet, works wonderfully, and is by far the most aesthetically pleasing air purifier I've ever seen.

The only unfortunate thing I can say about it, and others have touched on this issue as well, is that there is a burning plastic smell that I noticed for the first several hours upon turning on the power. My room is medium sized, roughly 75-80 sq. feet (if I had to guess), and the smell was quite potent, especially for the first hour. I remember wondering if the thing would be kind enough to suck up its own smell, but the answer of course was no. Luckily, the smell soon faded and this purifier has been great ever since. I've read other complaints about the glowing blue light keeping people awake at night. I'm glad I'm stubborn and ignored these reviews, because those complaints almost kept me from buying the damn thing. I wouldn't say the light is exactly bright, more of a soft glow, but if you're sensitive to that sort of thing (as I very much am) you can simply turn off the U.V. while you sleep. It will continue to work amazingly without this feature running, although I do leave it on during the day while I'm at work. Does it actually do anything? I have no idea.

Finally, I want to add that in NJ, where I live, this is currently prime allergy season, but when I wake up I feel completely neutral, as if the air outside weren't saturated with pollen (and God knows what else--it's NJ!). It's actually quite amazing.

Pros: great for allergies, strong quiet suction, aesthetically pleasing beyond belief, will keep your space smelling nice, virtually no dust anywhere

Cons: that damn smell for the first several hours

Be back in a few months with an update!!

I’ve been “cheating” to extend the life of my filter by regularly vacuuming it out. On the lower settings, 3 and lower, it is very, very quiet. It’s not “loud” per se on 4 and 5 but certainly noticeable, ppl that would like white noise to sleep by I think would like it. At first I thought my breathing was easier, but that may be a placebo effect, but I’m not discounting it at all.. I’m hoping the UV lamp and filter are removing “gak” from the air. I got this filter to help preserve my mini-split AC unit from getting so dirty from my German Shepherd’s dander and dirt he brings in as the squirrel cage fan gets really dirty since they run 24/7 on the AC settings. I think this unit is worth the price.

We have one of these in every room in our home, and it's keeps our air fresh, clean and healthy for us. When going to any medical office, I can't help but notice one in every room, also, especially since Covid became an issue around the world. The filters are easy and quick to change once you've done one or two. I like that now they're available in white. They last a long time--for years, even--we've had several of our for YEARS without any problem--just make sure you chanage the filter when it indicates as needed.

A solid purchase and purifier. It is nice and quiet which is a big plus. Easy to clean. Easy to move around. Controls are simple but honestly this thing just stays on all the time ( so I didn’t rate the timer function, I’m sure it’s just fine though).
No regrets getting this one.

I purchased this air purifier as it is a Consumer Reports “best buy” and has high ratings here. I work in an office setting and was sneezing multiple times every day. Others sneeze to so it’s obvious the air needs this. I have only had it on for a few days but my sneezing has completely stopped. It is a bit loud on the highest setting but that functions as a white noise machine. Can already see all the dust/etc it’s removing from the air. Highly recommend if you have an individual office. Not sure it’s big enough for large open spaces.

So, After 7 years, I am finally writing a review. This air filter has been great and is STILL WORKING like it was the first day. We still get filters for it to replace when needed. I’m very happy with this purchase and will definitely buy another whenever this one decides to go out!

The puppy smell we had in the house is gone, Liked it so much, we bought a second one. the multi-speed fan makes it quiet enough to have close and not be excessive noisy. Pull out of box and start using, instructions on how to use are easy to understand and replacement filters when needed are available on Amazon.

We have two dogs that tend to have a fair amount of hair come off of them and enter the air, fortunately I came across this purifier and the price was fantastic I couldn’t pass it. The look is great, it’s not too big or small, it’s quiet on the highest setting and in the course of a few hours we immediately notice a better quality of air in the room we keep it in! Wether you have pets or not, maybe you just like a fan blowing clean air while you sleep this purifier is great. Keeps air clean, cools you off while you’re sleeping or awake, doesn’t bother you by sound, the size is perfect and the price is right. Nothing to not like!!!
