Keeps the air clean and odor free
I bought this primarily to reduce pollen in the air to keep my allergies under control. It seems to have helped, and I've found it is also great at eliminating pet odors (if I don't run it, the room starts to smell like our dog).
The filter replacement indicator is helpful, and the filters last a reasonable length of time.
I run it on low most of the time, which seems to be enough for it to do its job. It's not whisper quiet on low, but I find the noise level acceptable and I sleep with it running right next to my bed. Medium and high speeds are quite noisy and therefore I use them only to try to clear an odor in a hurry.
An item no household should be without
I bought the Hunter Quietflo Air purifier, to place in a room in my house so I could smoke and not worry about bothering anyone else. It has more than met it's original purpose. I can smoke in a room and within minutes the smoke is cleared. I also use it my bedroom when not in the smoke room. Since using it in my bedroom I have slept much better( except in turbo mode-it is a little loud, it's only drawback, but who needs to sleep with it on turbo when any of the other 2 settings work fine). It clears the air of all the things i didn't think affected me, but obviously did. This item was definitely money well spent. i would recommend it for anyone
Would not recommend
The reason I would not recommend purchasing this item (Hunter 30730 Tower Air Purifier) is that the price of the filter seem way too high priced for what the replacement hepa filters cost. At almost $30-40 a pop, depending on where you buy them, plus the carbon filter that has to be replaced as well, you can almost buy a brand new purifier. At some warehouse stores, you can buy TWO brand new purifiers for about $125.
The Purifier works fine and seems to do the job it says it will do but until they lower the price of the hepa filters, I'll continue to regret ever buying two of the purifiers.
