Editorial Review:
2-stage HEPA air purifier for rooms 230 square feet or less.
By continuously circulating a room's air through two filters, this portable air cleaner removes smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, molds, bacteria, viruses, and odors. Invaluable for those who suffer from allergies or asthma, the cleaner contains a true HEPA filter that is at least 99.9 percent effective at trapping extremely tiny particles--and actually gets better with use, as captured particles catch other particles. A prefilter reduces odors. The cleaner measures 14-3/4 by 13-3/4 by 10 inches and, because the air exits upward, can be placed behind furniture. Recommended for rooms up to 233 square feet, the cleaner has three speeds for different-size rooms. The HEPA filter lasts two to four years, the prefilter three months. (Two extra prefilters are included.) Filter replacement is simple: Lift off the front, unhook the elastic straps, remove the prefilter and/or HEPA filter, position the new filter(s), and hook up the straps. --Fred Brack

Inhale, exhale, ahhhh.:
I agree with the other reviewer that there's not much noise difference between low and high, and it's not really silent... but I've concluded that this is NOT a bad thing. If you want clean air, it has to move. The noise this thing makes is not from the motor at all - it's the moving air. It's changed the whole environment of our bedroom. And it really circulates the whole room. I had a small Hunter air filter, and on low you could hear the fan wheel wobbling - very annoying; also only mediocre on... more info
good filter but noisy:
For a basic filter this one's pretty good. I used it during a construction project in my home. There was a lot of drywall dust and it did a good job of filtering the air. However the filters did get dirty and I had to replace them after just a few days of the work. I can't listen to the radio or tv with it on though. If you need a product that you need to run frequently you may want to look for a quiter one.
Very effective - I have two of them:
My son always woke up stuffy in the morning and - not knowing anything about air cleaners - began looking at their stats. This unit seemed to be the best in terms of circulating air and cleaning the air. Its not a flashy looking unit but it worked so well I bought a second unit for downstairs... I have had the first one for over 6 months and even with almost constant use it works as well as it did the first day. The second one is everal months newer and that one has been problem free as well. I... more info
I love Vornado products....:
I use the Vornado AQS35 filter systems and they are fabulous. We have two filter systems, one in the "bird" room where I keep my Cockatiels (and my computer), and the other upstairs near our bedrooms. The bird room is clean as can be and at the end of the day when I clean cages I only sweep up spilled pellets and seeds. I have never been bothered by Cockatiel or any other bird dander since I got the Vornado filter systems, and I have allergies. My office supplied a less effective filtration system, so I... more info
