Air Purifiers Reviews

This purifier combines several (i.e. 5) techonologies in one inexpensive unit. There are purifiers which employ only one technology and yet cost about twice as much, such as the Ionic Breeze Quandra. It does make a difference in the air, and the filter seems cheaper and needs replacement less often than with other purifiers.

It also has a "sanitizer" option, which is basically an ozone generator. Note: do not exagerate with ozone, it's not safe in high quantities - if you smell "funny", then ventilate the room, you have too much ozone.

You even have a timer to turn off the unit - I use it to have my room's clean when I get back from work, yet without having it run needlessly. What I wished is different is to have the option to turn off the sanitizer only with a timer, not necessarily the whole unit. It is safe to leave the unit running 24x7, but not true for ozone, so I see a value in having that feature.

Overall, worth every penny.

At low speed you won't even know it's on and it's still quiet at med. and high speed too. We normally run it on medium or high speed when the weather is 35 or colder here in New England and turn it down to low if the temperature outside goes up or it's raining out. Doing this keeps the humidity in the house a pretty constant 40-45 per cent. We have a Colonial house and keep the upstairs bedrooms closed so the unit is just taking care of aboout 1100 ft. downstairs. I fill it in the morning and just before bedtime. They only hold a few gallons of water, but what a difference they make. We have had hardly any colds since we bought ours a couple of years ago, and we're not constantly having to put on lip balm or hand lotions like we used to. Your skin will thank you for it. But wait...there's more...hehe...Wait til you empty and clean it like I do every 2 weeks. The water you dump in the sink...unbelieveable what this unit takes out of the air. Remember, it's an air purifier too. It's amazing to see the junk that's in the dirty water. Stuff you would normally be breathing in.

It's light weight and small enough to be unobtrusive. I had a problem with mine the second year...called the company and within 3 days had a replacement part that was a snap to install, free of charge of course. Fantastic 10 year warranty.

Proof of how much we love this unit...the day it broke was a Sunday and dry as a bone...temp in the teens. Within an hour I was home from Bed and Bath with a new unit. Didn't even want to go 3 days without one running. Now we run them both on low speed most of the winter.
Check out their website...commercial buildings all over Europe use them as well as musicians with expensive wooden instruments to protect. Little known product just introduced to the US a couple of years ago. Highly recommended.

YOU ARE BETTER ROLLING YOUR WINDOWS DOWN! THIS THING DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE A SHARPER IMAGE ONE THAT IS ALOT BETTER. THIS ONE IS A GENERIC IMITATION THAT DOES NOT CLEAN THE AIR. CRAP!!!!!!
