My son has major skin and allergy problems, so this has been on in his room 24 hrs per day for the 15 months. The light just went on to replace the HEPA filter and the pre-filter is about every 3 months. If you saw the crude on the pre-filter you would understand how well it works. The pre-filter is about 5 minutes to change and as is the HEPA. I am looking at the cleanable HEPA but do I want to vacuum up the crude or just throw it out every year?

Being a Graduate Student on a budget, I wanted the most for my money. After reading up on air purifiers, there just wasn't enough hard scientific data to back up the ionizer feature which seemed to cost a little more.

Since I have a HEPA vaccum and use it a few times a week, I figured I could do without an ionizer. I chose this product because of the permenant True Hepa filter, cost of the pre-filter and permenant filter replacement (if needed), and the 200sq ft capacity.

The "IFD" and "Hepa-type" products do not filter at the same percentages as the "True Hepa" standard. Thse were roughly in the same price level so I went with the True Hepa.

A permenant filter saves money, and if I did want to buy a new one, the cost was affordable. Same with the prefilters, and they use charcoal, so if I wash them before they get too dirty, I won't have to buy any.

As for noise: HIGH it's like "white noise" and sounds like my car AC. MED is not bad, less noise and I can study with it on. LOW is fine for sleeping.

Great buy for my apartment!

This is a very nice machine. Both son and spouse have allergies and asthma and symptoms have improved since we bought one. Buying another one tonight for front room.

My husband and I used to have 3 of the old honeywell purifiers--the ones about 2x this size and 5x as loud. This works just as well, if not better. Plus, the HEPA filter does not have to be replaced often (if at all), saving a lot of maintenance costs over the old purifiers. We keep this in the bedroom and it has helped both of our allergies.

There are 2 filters for this item--the HEPA is "permanent" but the pre-filter you have to buy approximately every 3 months. Also, should you need to relace the permanent HEPA filter you have to buy 2 filters. I though that the maintenance was too expensive so I returned it--I AM UNSURE ABOUT HOW WELL THE PRODUCT WORKS MY RATING IS BASED ON THE MAINTENANCE COST.

This is a replacement for my other unit I bought 8 years ago. I ran the other one almost every day. I am hoping this gives me another 8 years. Also the vacuumable filter is a great touch with only having to spend bucks every 6 months for the pre filter (pre-filter package has enough for 2 replacements). s Other units cost as much as $60 a year for filters.

They call this quiet care, it is not quiet. I bought two of them, one for the living room and the other for the bedroom. We set up the one in the living room and it is so loud that we will not be able to put the other in the bedroom. The other thing they advertised is that the filter is permanent and that is true, but they never mention that there is a pre-filter that has to be replace every four month at a cost [...]. The unit does clean the air.

I bought three of them to control the pet dander in my house. The machine is very quiet and is built very well.
