Accurate, Durable, Really Works
Works well for my purposes! I purchased this to filter cigarette smoke coming from the neighbors. The air usually smells fresh now! As you can see I have it stably secured to the wall. During measurements I accidentally dropped it from that height onto wood floor, and nothing broke, it just bounced! So it scores well on impact testing... It's held up now by its simple but surprisingly convenient leather strap. Up there it is out of sight, does not take up any space, and also circulates the room air much more than when regularly vertical. FYI the square footage reported by all brands of air purifiers (not just this one) is silly. You need to move your air to get it to the air purifier somehow... and no matter how strong a single fan is it won't be able to clear a whole 1000+ sqft place like advertised. But nonetheless I am pleased with the power it outputs vs noise generated (more on that later). The air quality readings are actually pretty accurate. I had doubts at first because in the house it always says 0 - 5 PPM even while smelling the smoke. So I put it out the window on a day where it was pretty smokey from wildfires and it actually did jump up to the 30 PPM or so that was in the outside air! I think it just does not take much cigarette smoke to be a disturbance to us, so even 5 PPM is too much. So I do not use the autofan setting, which depends on really high readings to kick on. I keep it on medium fan speed most of the time. The noise is light in the kitchen and it can't really be heard elsewhere. Low fan speed is a whisper though really weak airflow... while high fan speed is really strong but also loud. For reference, high fan is slightly quieter than a microwave vent on low setting. But the medium fan blows air very well without much noise at all, so I recommend to keep it in medium. The noise it does make is also a soft tone I will add, nothing harsh. Lastly right now filters aren't very expensive. You wont need to change it often though, and it will tell you when its time. I paid $10 for a spare filter with my purchase for when I need to change it in a year or so. Glad to breathe clean air! Also happy with the long length and small wire gauge of power cable, made it easy to feed through cabinets. Read more
