Works great!
I bought this product for my son. He's eight years old and suffers from allergies. He woke up every morning sneezing, and with a stuffy nose. I was looking for an alternative to giving him allergy medication every day. We keep it on the desk, right next to his bed. It's incredibly quiet and it has helped his allergies a lot. After about a month of constant use on the medium setting, I vacuumed the filter. It was filty. I was very impressed with how much dust it pulled from the air.

The best one we've tried
Our daughter has allergies and we've tried several different air purifiers. This is by far the best we've tried. It is much quieter than others, compact size, the filter is permanent, and it works great. We are getting another one for another room.

So far, so good!
I received my item (though late, Thanks Amazon), and apparently all my research into an air cleaner has paid off. This little guy does exactly what it says and works like a charm. Here's why I bought it. I wanted an air cleaner for a medium to small sized room where I keep my cat's litter box. Normally, it doesn't smell, but about the day it's time to change it, I can smell it. Now, I don't want to smell it ever, though I keep my kitty box schedule in tact. Anyway, this air cleaner is so quiet on Whisper Mode that I literally cannot hear it. I even put it in my roommate's bedroom, just to see if she realized it was in there, before moving it to its final destination. She had no clue. The model has 3 speeds, but the Whisper Mode is fine for continuous daily use. Sure, you can turn it up, and you'll hear it's low whirrrrrr, but that's to be expected. Another reason I bought it is that it IS a HEPA quality cleaner. But I don't have to buy...

Lyn Dowling's Help!: Cats Present Air-quality Challenges
14.05.11 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

Dear Help! : I'm looking for an air cleaner that not only cleans the air but also draws all the cat dander and hair out of the room. I've found a few air cleaners at the local Home Depot and Lowe's, but they just did not perform up to my expectations. Can anyone out there help me find what I'm looking for? -- Name Withheld

The first people who required consulting in this case are cat lovers, not least of whom is Melinda Buschor of the Suntree-Viera Pet Rescue, who has had "lots of kitties," she says. Step one is taking care of matters in advance of buying that air purifier.

"If you have problems with allergies, turn off the ceiling fans, if you have them. Ceiling fans spread fur and dander . . . The next thing you should do is cover your mattress and pillow with plastic covers to keep the allergens out," she says.

"We know how cats hate baths, but it is important to keep pets clean if you have allergies. If you have a longhaired cat, you also can give it a 'lion cut' to keep its hair shorter. But the most important thing to remember is that you have got to be a clean freak if you have cats."
