Product Description
Our designers crammed a HEPA filter, ultraviolet lights (to kill those nasty airborne bacteria), and an activated carbon filter into the picture perfect tower of power! The HEPA filter weeds out those pesky allergens like pollen and dander while the UV rays kill off any rogue bacteria and viruses that managed to sneak inside your home. Combine these two powerful purifiers with an odor-killing activated carbon filter and you've got the T300! You may have seen advertisements for tower air cleaners that use ionizers to charge particles and collect them on metal plates. The T300 takes that same sleek design but, instead of using powerful ionizers that could potentially expose you and your family to harmful ozone, Alen uses EPA recommended filters and purifiers. That's right! You get the style with even BETTER function! Not to mention HEPA filters are far safer to replace and clean than your usual metal plates.

It's worth every penny
 
Review Date: November 8, 2006
Reviewer: Elizabeth V.,
Though beautiful, after moving to Austin I experienced what a lot of people experience once they move here...ALLERGIES!! Medications would alleviate the headaches and sinus pressures but the sneezing and the watery eyes were, seemingly, incurable, until I came across the Alen T300. I was skeptical because I had tried many others before and none succeeded but I was willing to try anything. I plugged in the T300 (Very quiet) and left it running over night and the next morning noticed a significant difference in the air. NO SNEEZING or watery eyes!! It's worth every penny!!

Thanks!
Elizabeth
Can't live without it

After living constantly with waking up to allergy symptoms and all kinds of medicines to address the symptoms, I finally saw an info-commercial for air purifiers and the light bulb went off. I did the research and found that the Alen and IQAir products were the best and cleaned over 95% of contaminants in the air where the info-commercial product only cleaned about 35% of the contaminants. The Alen was best price for feature for my budget with a lifetime warranty so I purchased it. Now my son and I wake up mostly free of any allergy symptoms and the feeling is wonderful!
Great little air filter

I did a lot of research, reading and talking to people before finally deciding on the Alen T300. I was worried about a few things: 1.Noise 2.Filter price, 3.Ozone generation, and 4.power consumption. Im happy that this air filter really met all the criteria I was after.
1. Noise. Really what good is an air purifier if you cant sleep with the thing on? Or hear the TV for that matter? This air purifer is really quiet. The white noise it provides at night when all is silent is equivalent to the sound of a hotel air conditioner running. My wife and I find it quite relaxing and its nice to sleep along to.
2. Filter. The filter has a foam pre-filter that is easily removable and washable so the filters should last a long time, when they need to be replaced they cost $49. a pair (it uses two at a time) Not bad seeing that most people can get two years out of the filters running about 2200 hours a year. The UV bulb that can be turned on and off to kill Virus and bacteria in the air can be easily replaced.
3.Ozone- Read the EPA report people, Ozone is bad for your lungs!!! Many ionizing air purifiers produce Ozone (not good) the Inizer with the T300 is a negative ionizer (negative ions = good for humans, Positive Ions = bad for humans) so it doesnt produce ozone and its not harmful to humans. If you dont like the idea of an ionizer at all you can simply turn it off.
4.Power consumption- The power consumption over the past three months with two of these running on the #2 fan speed (low is 1, high is 4) for approx. 9 hours a day hasnt added much to our bill at all, actually its hardly noticeable that there even was a change in consumption of electricity.
Fit and finish is top notch, and the controls are clear and easy to use. All settings are clearly laid out for you when the unit is running so you know with a glance at the LCD screen whats on.
If your considering an air purifier, this should be at the top of your list. I purchased my units brand new for a cost of $270. each and best of all Alen offers a lifetime warranty on their products, because as they state "We dont want our products to wind up taking up space in a landfill somewhere". Sounds pretty environmentally responsible to me.
Go ahead, try one. I dont think you'll be disappointed with this unit.
Does the job

We've had this in our bedroom for about a year, with no problems. We run it 24 hours a day on the lowest setting, and the noise is not noticeable across the room when we're sleeping. Anything higher than LOW, however, is quite noisy, despite the claims. Operation is fairly easy, and maintenance is simple. Taking off the back cover reveals the two HEPA filters, which fit into two close fitting spaces. These are easily removed. The HEPA filters have a foam back pre-filter attached by Velcro-type tape. We vacuum these covers or wash them if they are particularly dirty, about twice a month. I have not had any problem replacing the back cover. If you line up the proper tab with the appropriate hole, and snap the top in, there is a beep which indicates the back is properly closed. There is an LED readout on the unit which purports to let you know when you need to replace the HEPA filters. The colors of the lights change from green to yellow to red. Supposedly when all the LED indicators turn red you need to replace the filters. I have no idea whether this is true. After twelve months the air is still noticeably cleaner in our room, and my wife's allergies are much better. I would buy this again.
Is greate for bedroom

I originally bought Alen T300 for my living room. It has sleek design made from high quality dark grey plastic with dark silver insert. It looks cool in living room side by side with black frame LCD HDTV and matching TV stand and electronics. At lowest speed it is whisper quiet. In living room you can hardly hear it running. It cleans living room okay but as I discovered it is perfect for room size about 200 sf or less. Eventually I moved it to bedroom because it matches my 168 sf bedroom perfectly and it is very quiet at night. All noise (36 db at low speed) it generates is a slight hiss which rather helps to sleep than get distracted. It cleans air so well that in the morning the air in bedroom feels fresher than air outside, so I hesitate to open window in the morning to let in contaminated air from street.

It is affordable high quality product and I highly recommend it for use in bedroom. In living room which is connected to kitchen T300 may struggle to keep 400 sf space clean. Of course you can buy two of them and put in living room and kitchen respectively. Other option is to buy Alen A350 which is good for 400 sf or less. I may try this path also but I did not decided yet.

Air Purifiers Against Asthma Attacks

Monday, December 7th, 2009 at 1:08 pm  
Comments (3)

air-purifiers2According to recent researches, people should really be worried because of the fact that indoor air is more polluted then the air outdoors. This causes them a lot of respiratory problems such as asthma. Hopefully, all asthmatics can relax, as the solutions to this problem exist. Well, asthma is a respiratory condition which characterizes the narrowing of a person’s airway (bronchioles and bronchi) that causes them difficulties with breathing. As statistics show, 3 to 5 percent of all people will suffer from its effects at some moment in their life, some more severely than others.

Two most recognized symptoms of an asthma attack are a wheezing cough and hard breathing. During some severe attacks breathing rate starts to increase, a heart rate rises, making asthma sufferers unable to speak because of the lack of breath. Besides, lack of oxygen may cause cyanosis resulting in the patients’ skin turn blue.
