Q: Brand new - It smells when running, like a plastic conceal type smell been in Automatic for 24 hrs and it smells? Can you explain this and will it go away. It should be removing these type of smells not causing them.

submitted by chen - 1 year ago
  • A: Congrats on your new Air Purifier! A slight plastic-like smell is normal during the initial break-in period and should fade with regular use. The odor is non-toxic, but if it lingers after a few days, try running the unit in a closed room with a cracked window to help clear it faster.

    Noticeably cleaner air, quiet operation, and easy to use every day.

    I've been using this air purifier for a few weeks, and I've been happy with the results so far. After a few days of use, the air in my bedroom felt fresher, and I noticed less dust settling on surfaces. It's fairly quiet, even when running overnight, and the air quality indicator is a nice feature because it adjusts automatically when needed. The unit is easy to set up and doesn't take up much space. Overall, it seems well made and does exactly what I expected.

    It’s perfect!

    So far I have absolutely been loving this! We have two cats and though they don’t smell they do shed a lot. In addition there was old mold in the AC vents. I was waking up every single morning with a stuffy nose then later runny. I knew something in the air wasn’t good. This little beauty is perfect. It’s small enough that it doesn’t take a lot of room , it’s also a great price! It works like a dream. With several settings you can have it practically silent or put the fan up to 4 and get a nice breeze that doesn’t knock your head off. It’s super lightweight with a convenient handle to lift it and move it around as well. I could go on and on but if you’re on the fence- just get it!

    Great air purifier

    Works great and simple to use. All you have to do is plug it in and it starts purifying right away. It has an auto feature and 3 speed options. It’s powerful and cleans the air pretty fast. It’s easy to read and simple to understand. I love that it shows the number of the air quality and the green light. It has a sleep mode where it keeps quiet all night. Since using this for my bedroom, my room feels better, smells cleaner and I get better sleep. The filter is easy to change but I do wish it came with at least one replacement filter.

    The best!

    I absolutely love this air purifier. It is super easy to use, and it works great. I've noticed less odor and the air just feels clearer. I love the auto setting, and there's also a sleep mode. It monitors the air quality, so it will change to green, yellow, or red depending on the air quality. It also lets you know when it's time to replace the filter, which is super easy to do. It's the perfect size, too, and super quiet. I highly recommend this air purifer!

    Clean Air with Easy Set Up

    I am genuinely impressed with this air purifier. I love that it has intelligent features, a HEPA Pure Filter, and UV C. The unboxing and setup process was super easy and very straightforward which I really appreciate since I always love appliances that can just be plugged in and you can start using right away. The set up literally took less than a minute and it was up and running and already making my air fresher. One of my favorite features is the UVC technology, which has extra germ fighting support for air filtration. This is especially great during the allergy season and when I want my home to feel cleaner overall. I also love that it has three different fan modes, depending on what I need throughout the day. The sleep mode has also been a huge place because it runs quietly and gives me a peace of mind, knowing the air is still being cleaned, even when I am not home or when I am sleeping. Finally, the design looks sleek and modern without taking up too much space. The air quality monitor is such a nice touch and very easy to read as well overall, this feels like a really great air purifier that is easy to use, and I can feel it making a difference in my home air quality. I am really happy with it so far.

    Works well for my stuffy room

    Honestly I didnt realize how much I needed this product until I used it. It has a nice fan thay keeps the room cool, works to purify the air which helps a lot since my room is very stuffy and has poor air circulation, and has an auto setting that helps when the air quality in my room is bad without me having to switch it everytime! It really works well and ive noticed a big difference in my bedroom. 10/10 for me

    Small but mighty

    Honestly, I’m surprised by this thing haha. I have 4 cats and I keep a very clean home because I never want my house to smell. With having 4 cats, I have 5 litter boxes in a litter closet. I put this air purifier in the room with the litter boxes and it’s honestly made a big difference and you can’t even smell the litter boxes when you walk into that room. I was also cooking the other day on high heat in the kitchen and I heard the air purifier turn on high mode because it detected the smoke in the air! I’m excited to keep using it! It’s also very lightweight so if I wanted to move it, it’s super easy to move it around to wherever you want it!

    It really works!

    Amazing air purifier that really works! It’s portable and easy to use. It’s really smart too! The fan speed picks up when I’m dusting or using an aerosol spray in another room - crazy! Love that it uses an easily replaceable HEPA filter and removes the particles in the air that I can’t see. Also, love that the light on the unit changes color when the air quality is not great. When I placed the purifier in a recently painted room the light turned red and fan speed increased until the air quality improved (which didn’t take too long). The air purifier also has a UVc light that I will turn on if someone in my house is sick. There’s also a night mode, which turns off all of the illuminated air purifier lights. Love this The Germ Guardian!
