GermGuardian Air Purifier for Home with HEPA Pure Filter UV-C Light Sanitizer Eliminates Germs Filters Allergens Pollen Smoke

So, this unit is pretty great. We have had moisture / humidity issues in our house, and have experience with using the large air scrubbers with hepa and uv-c filtration. Now we have dry lok'd (waterproofing paint) the entire basement, and run dehumidifiers all the time in the basement. Helps. Short of going that route upstairs where it is cleaner and drier, this unit is fantastic for a medium sized area. Large master bedroom, living room, etc. Moves a lot of air for it's size. Bulbs last a long time and are cheap and easy to replace, filters are affordable. Immediate difference in air quality, and better sleep. Vacuum the front of the filter (the "pre-filter") when you vacuum the room it runs in, and the unit will operate most efficiently. Filters may last longer too, not tested theory. Recently we tried to save $ and bought another brand, thinking it'd have to be similar. No man. Not close. We have two of these, and plan on getting another, and so far out of many years or trying various units (Oreck, other big honking round units, electrostatic air cleaners in our hvac etc), this one works the best for us. So short of a big industrial air scrubber, this unit actually DOES SOMETHING. It IS an air scrubber, just moves less air than a commercial unit, but enough for a medium sized area. Also looks sharp, and modern, and because it's black, kinda disappears when set in the corner of the room. Love it. Read more

We live in California and with all the recent fires, this was an essential purchase to help clean the air in our home. My husband was recently in the hospital for blood clots in his lungs so good air quality was essential to his recovery. While he was in the hospital, most of California was on fire. It was so bad that there were days I would drive to the hospital and the sky was orange or gray. Them smell of smoke was very strong and we had poor/unhealthy air quality. I knew I needed an air purifier at home to help improve the air quality and began to shop around. Germ Guardian was familiar because I had seen it in my chiropractor's office and also my dentist office once they were able to reopen after the COVID shut down. I knew that if they trusted it, so could I. I bought as soon as I knew my husband was going to be released from the hospital. It did a fabulous job improving the air quality in the house. It not only got the smell of smoke out, but I feel safer knowing it's getting any germs too. I bought it for my husband but we are all benefiting from how much cleaner the air is. Read more

Cleans air in a bedroom quickly, and quietly I might add. I like the fact I can replace hepa filter. Previous type I could never find the hepa purifier filter only could replace the first layer. This product cleans very effectively I also have one in my open living room. Read more

Great filter for the price. Between my roommate and I, we have two large dogs and three cats, and I can surprisingly say that I do notice less dust in my bedroom overall. I clean it out every other week or so, and it’s impressive what comes out of it. Granted the animals are not continuously in my bedroom, but it still helps. I usually keep it running on either low or medium. Noise level is comfortable, except when it’s on full blast (but like any fan of course). My only annoyance with it is that the air outflow blows out the sides and sort of towards the back…also where the intake is. So I do notice (when in the right sunlight) a lot of particles getting blow away from the intake, making it not AS effective as other purifiers, where the intake and outflow are opposite directions.

This Germ Guardian True HEPA Filter Air Purifier is an upgrade to the more expensive but less reliable oval shaped Germ Guardian that has been available for several years. While I was having to buy warranties and replacing both of the two original Germ Guardians, I have yet to have to replace this upgrade edition. In fact, it's been so reliable, I bought another one to use in my living room. It cleaned up all the dust that had settled because my older Germ Guardian (the more expensive and unreliable one) had fizzled out. I had purchased the replacement lights and filters to use whenever the older model called for replacing those particular parts. The consistently rotten thing with the older version is that the machine would NEVER recognize replacement of the light or hepa filter, and therefore wouldn't operate. Then the insurance/warranty I purchased was rejected. Bummer! The upgraded model has been zero problem in any way. I bought the HEPA filter that goes with it, but I haven't purchased the smaller light. I am waiting to see how long the Germ Guardian lasts before requiring replacement of parts. Although I like polishing wood furniture, I hate dusting and vacuuming. This Germ Guardian keeps the air clean, fresh, and healthy, and attends to the dusting for us. I have a Germ Guardian in the living room (which includes an open dining room), and in each of the bedrooms. We only vacuum to collect the dirt that gets tracked in. This particular model of Germ Guardian is well worth the $100.00 for each of them. Try it. I believe you will like it. Read more
