I have owned 4 other purifiers and this is by far the best. Handles up to 3,000 Sq Ft. Quiet. Great price and value. I run it 24/7 and it keeps my air clean.Built well and its very easy to use. Also comes with a remote. It sits between my large open space kitchen and living room. Normally it reads between 4-6 but When I'm cooking it goes up to 12-15 Cleans the air quickly. No cons what so ever. So, yes I highly recommend. Good purchase. Read more
High Level Summary: Infrared-Laser Sensor, ACM (Air Cycles Per Minute), and Air Quality Results are on-point. Ad listing specs are, at best, a hot mess.... The Good: Within 5 minutes of arriving at my door, I unboxed, installed filter, plugged in, and powered up with little effort. I appreciate it's sleek design (All my appliances are white). The two air intakes support it's high ACM capacity - I placed my hand just above the output grill and felt the intense force of air rushing between my fingers. The smell of the purified air is refreshing. Watching the PM2.5 sensor reading is intriguing - seeing a measure of the air quality in my space and witnessing the downward trend of air contaminants removed over the next hour. I ran it on Turbo mode (cause, who wouldn't when getting a new toy?), in my 8,000 cubic foot living room - within the hour, the air felt and smelled cleaner. Switched to the auto mode - this little guy is intelligent! I can trust him adjusting the air flow based on the sensor's readings. The Bad: All the product ad listings for the Dayette brand Air Purifiers are at best, a hot mess... I reviewed over 50+ AP ads - learning about the specs and measured performance surrounding Air Purifiers. CADM has two values - CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute Airflow Rate) and M3/H (Cubic Meters of Air Filtering Rate). ACH (Air Cycle per Hour Rate). Max Square Footage Space (total SF that can cycle all the air in 1 hour). Understanding all these stats gave me data to compare like for like stats between different models and respective pricing. What does all this long-winded feedback have to do with this model? The Dayette Ads: All the ads are inconsistent, conflicting, and the company does not acknowledge the examples provided. This unit's model number is 'AP303' (and the unit I got does say model AP303 on the label)โฆ But AP303 is the name of an older model design with a much lower ACH rate with a round filter. Try searching for a replacement filter for this listingโs unit - you'll find the only ones listed with 'AP303' are round, when this model has a flat-rectangular design. I canโt get a replacement filter yetโฆ This unit advertises it can cycle an entire 3000 sf space in about an hour. That calculates to about a CADR CFM value of 400, which is high. Check out the other Dayette ads โ thereโs 2 other models that advertise 3000 sq ft capacityโฆ All three โ3000sf modelsโ are priced differently. This one is $149.00. *Another 3000sf is priced at $154.00 โ that one states the modelโs name is a AP401 and reads โcontinuous powerful purification for large rooms Up to 3000 Sq Ftโ. Why doesnโt it specify the per hour rate like this ad? To add confusion, a photo on the right states it has a max sf space capacity of 1720sf per hour. One unit that has a capacity for large rooms up to 3000sf, and a max capacity of 1720sf? Are they trying to sell a much lower end unit at a higher price? Does it have 3000, or 1720sf capacity? The detail is so smallโฆ but I caught it. My first purchase was this model, which seemed like a great deal, until I caught the 1720 referenceโฆ Even if the unit I got was 3000, how could that be validated? Dayette team didnโt address the concern, so I returned it. *The 3rd ad for a 3000sf model runs at $169.00. claims it purifies up to 3,000 sq ft per hour๏ผ500 sq ft per 10 min. A photo on that ad calls it the AP401 model (the same name as the 2nd listed one listing a 1720sf / hour cycle rate). Scroll further down to see the product details to read the model is an AP303 (the same as this listingโs model name). Is this model a AP401 and AP303 that offers 3000sf max capacity with a 1720 / hour cycle rate and a 3000sf / hour cycle rate? My point โ I invest in a brand โ and find it hard to trust any unitโs actual specs (which in my opinion is the entire point of choosing a product โ based on its advertised specs). All 5-6 listed ads contain conflicting info. Why did I keep this unit? It listed the most consistent data between all three, and Iโm impressed with its performance. And I am still waiting to see how Dayetteโs team addresses my concerns. I also own the AP403 model (4000sf capacity) due to its ad with more consistency, and that unit is a powerhouse. Butโฆ I still donโt know if I got whatโs advertised at the price it was listed for. I hope this review was helpful โ yup, super long-winded. But when you come across something that doesnโt seem right, then discover more and more somethings that support something isnโt right, I feel the โright thing to doโ is share that experience. Is their misinformation in ads intentional to confuse and charge more for lower quality product? With details this tiny, most wouldnโt catch them (unless youโre a dude like me that over-analyses antying that doesnโt make sense.) You are the consumer - compare the ads, challenge whatโs claimed, and good luck on your hunt. Donโt be a victim of false ads โ do you research. I believe Dayette has a great โproductโ, but the โbrand nameโ simply canโt be trusted until they get their inconsistent ad content mess cleaned up. Thanks for listening. ๐ Read more
First of all this is a small device and is most certainly not for 3000 sq/ft of space, I would use one in bedrooms at most, max 400 sq/ft being completely honest. If you wanted to clean 3k sq/ft of air you would need 4-5 of these.. Very high quality, small, quiet yet powerful enough for basic needs, I wouldn't use this in more than a 100-200 sq/ft bedroom I'd seek a larger unit unless you have very minimal dust/smoke/contamination in the air. The ease of cleaning is amazing and also filter changes, you can very easily pop the outside covers off and replace the filters, it is basically silent even on the highest setting and it certainly cleans the air as it should. The only downside for me was the carbon in it isn't very strong, I use this in a room of house plants and you can still smell anything in there, it doesn't change the smell at all but it does clean the air of any particulates which is the actual job of this unit. Product suggestion: When device loses power from outage or w/e have the unit come back on automatically. If the power goes out or someone bumps the plug the device shuts off and you have to physically power it back on before it works again. Same thing with if the power goes out. Annoying but not the end of the world and again, this isn't something that makes it worth less than it's advertised in my book. Read more
I truly like this air purifier. I run it all day long, sometimes moving from one room or floor to another and it purifies the air well. It has handles on both sides making it easy to carry. Itโs lights. I like the screen which shows the air quality in numbers and colors. Numbers go from 0 - the cleaning air to 200 and up - polluted air. As the air is purified, the numbers go down The colors go from blue - the cleanest air to green, yellow and the red - polluted air. The colors change as air is cleaned. Your room/ house will smell better. Itโs a must if you have animals! It cleans pet fur, dust, removed odors like cooking odors and even smoke. Itโs has one of the best. HEPA filters. Itโs double sided. Air sucks in from 2 sides and releases clean air from the top. The only reason I have it 4 stars is because couple times the numbers shoot up to 999 then go down and go back to 999. I opened the back and front; took out filters and made sure nothing was stuck or visibly wrong. But I couldnโt find anything. It would go back to normal after awhile. Iโm not sure if this is a glitch. I will reach out to the manufacturer to review this and maybe get a replacement but I do want to continue using this as it has made a huge difference in the air quality. You can set it on different speeds or auto. I use auto mostly I do recommend this product even with the glitch. Read more
