We were given this as a gift, and within a month of use we were very much impressed. I have very bad allergies, especially to dust and pollen.Its a true Hepa air filter, so its almost upto hospital standards in terms of clearing dust (its only a HEPA14 as opposed to hospital HEPA15).Within a week of this being put on (low as high is alittle loud) during the height of spring (usually my worst time of the year) my allergies had almost completely gone. I only wish I could carry this around with me when I go outside.We have been following the manual in terms of cleaning the main filter, but have re-used the charcoal filter far more than they tell you too. If you do that the air coming out does have a slightly older smell to it,but it certainly clears 99% of odours even after 6 months of use (not sure about ciggerette smoke, but is seemed to do the job when our chain smoker friends came over). The carbon pre-filter is the only part of this that needs replacement (we reckon about 6 months per change).The main air filter just needs vacuming every 2 - 3 months, the manufacturer say that it should last as long as the machine is still going.When we first got this, we thought that we had a pretty dust free house... Nope, when we first cleaned the filter there was a HUGE amount of dust trapped in there, plus the main filter had turned from a lovely white colour to a dark brown, this has since gone black. There has been no notable change in how well it clears the air, it will easily clear the air in a large room.It is very loud when you first turn it on, and this might put alot of people off buying it, but if you just use it twice a day for about an hour it does a very good job. We have it on all the time, and do have to turn it off when watching a movie. However, we live next to a busy road, and the sound of the fan kinda blocks out the sound of the traffic (sad but we actually prefer the sound of the fan). It acts almost like a white noise generator for loud traffic :)After nearly two years of use, we cant recommend this product enough if you have a smoker in the house, someone with allergies, or a dusty house or all of the above. if you dont like noise but still need an air filter then just use it when you go out on high, or for around 2 hours twice daily and it will make a noticable difference. Do change the pre-filter as this is what gets rid of most of the smells. If you have pets this is a must, although you will need to clean it every 2 months due to crazy hair buildup.When you do clean it, make sure your using one with its own HEPA filter otherwise all those particles just get scooped up into the air again (we did this the first time we cleaned it and I nearly collapsed with allergy overdose).In short:Pros:It does exactly what it says it does, cleans the air of 99.97% (or HEPA 14) of polutants.Cons:It is noisy.However in our opinion, its worth the noise. all of the filters that we used before that were quieter just didnt do what they said they would. I would say that the noise is just something that comes with the territory.

Purchased mainly to capture cooking smells from the kitchen it seems to do this as much as I expected. As I have little dust in this house (no pets) it will probable be a long time before I see much dust on the filter but looking at the design it must filter the air of most particles.It's not quiet but the quiet ones are not very efficient. Not five stars for two reasons: 1. The prefilter is not cut to the correct length you have to do that your self (but you do get a nice extra length of filter which can be used in other air moving devices, dehumidifiers etc.) 2. No indication of how long the main filter lasts (they state X months, whatever that might mean)

This was my second air filter i bought to help with my dust and cat allergies which were affecting my sleep, I also tried it to help my mums dog allergies.It is basically a centrifugal fan that sucks air through two round filters, one genuinely washable pre-filter and a replaceable HEPA that should last a while, the HEPA also has a good seal. It and blows it the air out the top/rear section. It is fairly loud because it moves loads of air, even on slow. You wont want it on next to you while you watch tv or sleep.It works well but I have to leave it on overnight/when I'm at work as its so loud. Really annoyingly there is no timer fitted to it and if you turn the power on at the switch it doesn't

I have used the air purifier for about 3 months now and despite keeping the bedroom vacuumed and wet mopping surfaces constantly (I have dust mite allergy) I cannot believe what this machine collects. I do tend to keep it running every night, all night and during most of the day but I am still astounded at the particles it picks up from what essentially is an ultra clean bedroom. The machine is really effective, simple to operate and it is so easy to change the pre-filters. As for the noise whilst it is running, the choice of high/medium/low gives people with even the most sensitive hearing three options if you have to sleep through it. I keep the machine on high fan, and sleep happily through the noise.

I've had this Air Filter for at least 5 years now, It's always been working great. Parents use it all the time in their room to help them sleep through the night. Most purifiers like this one are always great for white noise, which probably helps them as well. Ever since the use of it, they have had less sinus problems and overall better health due to the cleaner air in the room. ]The only thing is that the filter should be replaced, but having a fresh air filter is definitely worth it, after all these years the unit itself works great.

This is a somewhat noisy unit but bear in mind the benefits, I am happy with the dull hum white noise that this emits, I have noticed an improvement in my breathing at night, (using it only in the bedroom) and a marked reduction in dust within the room.Dont be scared to have the window open when using this, I made that mistake and the room got very stuffy within the 2 days.Good unit, marked improvement in air quality, which you can notice as you walking into the room.

Bought this product after we got 2kittens and my son started to show signs of allergy such as itchy throat, sniffles, wheezy chest etc. As they are his cats, and like most teenagers he spends most of his time in his room with the cats as his companions, I placed the machine in there and run it when he is at home. My son felt immediate benefit but as this is a large machine it is too noisy to leave running overnight.

I have 3 of these love them! Yes they are NOT quiet, if you are looking for a silent or quiet air purifier look elsewhere. This thing moves a huge amount of air and makes noise doing it :}. However we no longer have to dust our house for the most part! This thing really helps keep the house clean and we like the white noise in the background when we sleep so the noise is not an issue but actually a plus.

This made living with my girlfriend possible! She has 2 cats and I am allergic so would often be wheezy after a while. This helped clean to air up and collected cat hair meaning that I was not as bad.It is noisy though so I would recommend that this is used in a living room etc and not the bedroom if you are trying to sleep!

This is an excellent air purifier. I used to wake up with wheezing and puffy eyes. Now I feel much better.Some people complain about the noise, but to be honest, I am a light sleeper and the 'white noise' it produces blocks any other street noise and noise from nearby residences, so I actually sleep better when it is on.

On high: loud. But completely effective. It really does deliver. I've run it more or less constantly for a year, and the filter isn't showing any signs of clogging - prefilter gets hoovered once in a while, and it just works.

Within 3 days of running this unit my wife's nose is clear in the morning and I have stopped coughing. Remarkable!!! Worth 10x its cost. Tip. Run it all day and don't put it to close to a corner.
