We just got this unit a few days ago took me all of 2 minutes to read the instructions and crank it up. I placed it in our large bedroom (about 280sf) and hit the turbo button (great feature that in essence makes the unit run at a super high speed for 20 minutes to quickly process the room''s air) and left. My wife opened the door to the room about a half hour later and said "wow it feels so fresh in here". We both smelled the difference. it''s really what you don''t smell nothing seems to be in the air. No dust, odors, nothing.

It runs quite except on the high speed and turbo you can certainly here it running at these speeds but it''s a nice white noise. It''s solid and compact. I love that I will never have to buy a filter for this and it tells me when it needs cleaning.

I grabbed this during a lightning deal Black Friday week ''11. I had been looking into getting an air filter for years, reading reviews, checking prices, etc, but always heard that either they did not really work, or they were not worth the cost, plus additional costs over time. This popped up in a lightning deal, so figured why not just try one. I had it running in my large upstairs bedroom at night for most of December. I could smell a difference in the air nearby, but nothing major. A few weeks ago I finally got around to cleaning my pet room, and giving away my non-dog pets. All the animals were kept in cages, and never allowed to wander around, so no stains/accidents on the floor, or anything like that, but the room definitely had an animal smell. I cleared out everything and vacuumed about ten times, but still, could not get the smell to go away. I moved the air filter to this room, placed it in a corner and left it on the "Whisper" setting. It took a few days, but now the room has this nice pleasant clean smell. No indication it ever smelled differently or had animals in it. Also, have noticed the difference in the air, as have my guests, but have not had to clean the unit yet. It does have a slight build up on it, so it is grabbing something out of the air.

Pro''s

Quiet Even on high or turbo I cannot hear this unit over my PC or TV

Cold Air coming through is noticeably cooler than surrounding air

Compact Very small foot print, plus very light weight

Con''s

Static As in electricity. If you walk around this unit often, you will notice a build up of static electricity and might get a slight shock when touching metal. This could also be due to the overly dry air my part of Texas has been experiencing lately. This is nothing worse than dragging your feet across a carpeted floor or rubbing a balloon on your hair.

I plan on getting additional units for other rooms in my house.

The unit definitely gets the job done but there are some drawbacks. It seems to clean the air in a small room very well. However, it''s loud on the medium to turbo settings. This is due to the fact that it''s seemingly constructed with inexpensive fans made for computers. It sounds like a computer when the cooling fan(s) are in overdrive. Overall, the entire unit seems like it was designed and built as home hobby project.

Other Cons:

The power cord and adapter is odd and wimpy for an appliance like this

There are strange legs that fold out of the bottom

The temporary instruction decals on the top of the unit are very hard to remove and look bad

The plastic that is used to construct the machine seems thin and somewhat flimsy

Overall, I think this is a good unit for the price if you want the electrostatic feature. However, I would spend another $20 or more for something that is better constructed and quieter.

Quiet and efficient. (I this is actually my second one, for work.)

I''m very pleased with this air-filter. Very reliable too... I got my first one 2 years ago, and it''s been running nearly night and day the whole time. It still performs flawlessly.

It''s a little tough to clean the filter with that narrow brush, but it''s better than breathing that stuff in.

I bought this for my son''s room since he has some allergies and I thought it might reduce the pollen/dust. It seemed to be working fine and he kept it operating pretty regularly, but about 3-4 months after purchasing it, it started emitting a very strong burning smell, making it unusable. I don''t recommend this.
