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...

Tough Rules Have Made Our Air Cleaner, But Challenges Remain
10.05.11 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

Since the passage of the Clean Air Act amendments in 1970, emissions of regulated air pollutants in the United States have dropped 63 percent while at the same time, the U.S. population has increased by 50 percent and the size of our economy has more than quadrupled.

These improvements in air quality are the direct result of mandated reductions in emissions from industrial, energy and transportation sources.

Although politics certainly influence legislative and regulatory decision-making, the motivation behind the Environmental Protection Agency’s air quality regulations is not ideological.

Instead, the EPA is required by law to dispassionately evaluate the best available scientific evidence and take steps to minimize environmental risks to human health. The achievements of the past 40 years are indeed laudable and have resulted in saved lives and improved health for all of us.

At the same time, a large body of scientific research clearly indicates that levels of air pollution still commonly found in many parts of the U.S. continue to have harmful effects on the health of both adults and children.
