I was always looking for an air purifier but have never really found one that seemed worth the money for what they offered. I came across this product while browsing and was pretty skeptical at all the claims. For context I have owned Levoit products and while those are decent they can be either massive, loud, or very overpriced for the performance. In terms of pricing this product is around the same price range as Levoit stuff so I figured why not. The product has a lot of great features and has lived up to its cost. I had a recent sewage leak and the lingering smell was a lot to deal with while I was getting it fixed. This has really saved a lot of headache and ill feelings. Immediate impressions: Very compact and very well built VERY quiet and works insanely well Extremely light and has a quality build You can clean the filters and not have to worry about buying new ones Cons: Not a big fan of the wheels - personal preference Would be nice to see a swing function for the fan angle but does not take away from overall impression Right out the box there are clear instructions everywhere on the prodcut on how to operate it. In total there are 7 filters. 3 different types of filters for the inlet sides that leads to a massive barrel style filter. On start up it has various functions: "Eco" "Turbo" etc. I have it placed in my entry hallway and tested it on the lowest fan setting. Less than an hour you could tell it was working. In comparison, a lot of "purifiers" are just massive air intake units that pump out a ton of air and operate at loud dB. This product actually is more focused on the cleaning portion which cuts down on the overall fan dB. If you have ever fried food or know the smell of lingering food in the air, even sewage smell, the lowest setting on this unit handles those with ease. For context the unit is placed in an area with celings thats about 8-10 ft high (would say about average US room height). Biggest con would be I wish I found this thing sooner. Its really surprising how skeptical I was at how well this thing works when you're used to just hearing a blaringly loud fan run. Read more

The customer service is great!! I was considering the Air Dog Purifier. I called their customer service, and had to leave a message. As of this moment I never received a call back. So when I got down to deciding which purifier to invest in, I chose the one that has a real human being that answers the phone. I called Nuwave numerous time, and always spoke to a super nice, patient person. Now, to the unit. I set mine up in a flash last evening in my bedroom. I has worked flawlessly so far. Very happy with this purchase. I had been using a Rabbit Air Minus A2 for years, but the last batch of filters I purchased at $103.00, had a HEPA filter that smelled chemically. Why would I want to use a filter that is suppose to take away bad odors and purify the air, but adds to it. So I am thrilled to find Nuwave with its washable filters. NO more chemical manufacturing odors on my filters. Nuwave purifier air was clean and odor free right out of the box. YAY! Read more

We have a couple of these and have noticed an immediate difference in lingering smells. These include bacon, wet dog, other cooking smells, musty from an older portion of our house that is not well insulated, and the stagnant “unfinished basement smell.” We have one specifically in our basement (1000 sq. Ft.) and it has a spot that is open to our crawl space. This air purifier has managed the smell and air quality beyond what my expectations were. The filters are incredibly easy to clean, but they take a while to dry. I usually do a couple at a time so I can keep the purifier running. Noise level is heavily dependent on how high you have the unit set. I keep the fan low when we are in the main room it is in and turn it on Turbo mode when we are out of the house. Read more

I've used this air cleaner without breaks ever since it arrived two years ago. I've had it in the house while I put up drywall and even while sanding, which really helped keep the dust down, BUT it is abusive to the appliance and I worried it would ruin it. It was kinda a mess to clean after subjecting it to the drywall dust; Otherwise, cleaning it isn't difficult. I give the filters a good vacuuming and wipe it down every 6-8 weeks and wash them twice a year. It's still working without issues, luckily. I move it into the kitchen while frying and it does a phenomenal job keeping the grease from stinking up the house. I'll even move it next to the litter box to keep things smelling fresh, and when I need to clean the box, just to keep the dust from entering the rest of the house. You can imagine I appreciate the wheels as they help move it smoothly over hard floors. Mostly, I just let it run in the center room of my home. I love that the house stays dust-free for much longer than it would otherwise. Its near my bedroom and I don't like how bright the lights are. I don't think lights are necessary but a lot of things have LEDs these days. I would like to of had an option to shut them off. I also don't appreciate how much I paid for it. I had a big round air cleaner for years and other than keeping the greasy smell under control, it was just as good as a fraction of the price. Hopefully this one lasts as long. Read more
