Rating: - Works great, but loud and bright
After reading reviews on Amazon, I bought mine at home depot, where it cost a few dollars more, but knowing in advance from other reviews that I might not be able to tolerate the noise, I opted for a local store where return would be easier. I'm considering buying a few more for other rooms now, and would go with Amazon for lower price and free shipping.
The hepa filter works great. I use it in my bedroom, usually running it only on the lowest speed and only at night, but it works well enough even at that use level to ensure I have no allergy, dust, or pollen problems while sleeping. ... Read More
Rating: - Is this the N version?
Can anyone tell me if they are receiving the N version of this air purifier? The one with the permanent air filter?
Rating: - Performs as advertised
It does a great job of cleaning the air of cooking smells, smoke, dust, et cetera. We keep in the living area of our apartment, and have noticed a marked improvement in the air quality.
It does make noise, but it's at about the level of a window air conditioner fan on the 'regular' cleaning. Turbo's louder, but we don't need it that often.
Rating: - I'm happy with it but.........
I use this Air Purifier in my bedroom and am very happy with the results. But if you're going to use it in a similar application then there are a few things you should know.

Secondly there is a blue ring of light surrounding the selector switch on the top of the unit. Very bright will light up the room at night (my solution was to tape a piece of paper over light and switch to reduce the glow). So to recap if a constant fan noise ... Read More
Rating: - Works Great, Powerful, LOUD
I recently picked this up to add to my collection of HEPA filters and was not disappointed. Buyer beware, this unit is LOUD. It moves more air than most house fans. It has 3 speed settings, and the lowest is still a bit too loud for bedroom or family room use. Make no mistake though, this unit has a huge filter and moves more air than any purifier I've ever used.
If you want something a little quieter for bedroom use, I'd recommend the Honeywell 18500 series. Same filtration, same principles, moves half the air at probably a quarter of the noise.
