Expensive, but worth it!

Review Date: March 23, 2010

My husband and I were waking up feeling stuffed up and decided to purchase an air purifier. We did our research and decided on this unit. We absolutely love it and will be buying another one for our childs bedroom. It's amazing when you change the carbon filter every 3 months the amount of yucky stuff it has trapped on it.

Fabulous air filter, great price

I purchased this for my allergies and I am so happy with it. I need to get another one for the upstairs. I have cats and I put it in the guest room to reduce allergens when I have company. Even guests have commented that they notice a difference in the air quality. I will definetly purchase another of the same.

It Buzzes!

Reviewer: A. Aguilar, NYC

I read the previous review that it buzzed, but i figured he got a bad one. So I bought it, and sure enough after a few days of continus operation, it buzzes. Thank goodness this is in my living room, so the buzzing sound is not easily heard unless you get about 2 feet from it. But if this was in my bedroom, I'd have concerns.

The setup is easy enough right out of the box. I put it on auto, and it adjusts the speed acording to dust levels and oder levels. In my opinion, the auto works well in detecting and cleaning oders, but as far as dust, either my house is super dust free, which I doubt as I have carpet, or the dust senor is not sensitive enough. It almost alwasys stays on low no matter if the doors are open of if the kids are playing in front of it.

With that said, there is no way to know if it's actually taking dust out of my living room just yet. I'd like to think it is, and I'm sure it is, but to what levels is unknown to me. I bought a big round air cleaner years ago by another company, and it's round shape made it too big to put anywhere usefull, so it ended up cleaning up my basement, using a timer, I am able to keep the basement clean.

As far as this air cleaner, it's better than nothing, it's better than buying the next model up at twice the price, it buzzes lowely, so bedroom placement is questionable, but it's cleaning the air. So it gets 3 stars for cleaning the air, but loses 2 stars for buzzing and having a poor auto dust sensor.

annoying buzzing sound

Reviewer: Viktoria Wang,

Extremely quiet and effective at first. After about a week's worth of use, the plasmacluster unit in the back started buzzing loudly. There is no way to turn off the plasmacluster ionizer and I'm not sure if the hydroxyls emitted are harmful.
