Customer Reviews
By Ms. Mica (CA - San Francisco & Goleta)
This air purifier is advertised as having a charcoal filter, which is needed to remove smells from the air. It has only a 'dusting' of charcoal on the prefilter, which doesn't remove odors for long enough to be useful. The design is also bad: the air intake and outlet aren't well separated, so after a little use, it is putting out dusty air into the room. It might be good for those who need only a HEPA filter, but they're not likely to want to breathe dusty air!
The online description of my model was inaccurate, too. As I understood it, I needed to get this model to get the charcoal filter; but actually, this model had a remote and was programmable, which I didn't want, and all [both?] the models with this round shape have the same poor charcoal filter.

This filter is, as others have noted, not as quiet as I thought it would be. On the lowest setting there is a considerable amount of noise, enough so that when the filter first automatically shut off under its programmed setting, I noticed the eery silence and got creeped out by how quiet my apartment was. I live in a 500 square feet, 1 bedroom apartment in NYC. I got this purifier from J & R a week ago and because of the good job it does in cleaning the air, I got used to the noise in exchange for not having itchy eyes and strained breathing from allergies. My allergy symptoms were so bad I was lethargic at home and felt immobilized for fear making my allergic attacks worse. I live with two cats and the difference this purifier makes in quality of life is significant.
