I have allergies and asthma and have needed an air purifier for some time. I was forced into getting one because an air duct cleaning service improperly sprayed Microban (antimicrobial) in my home. The whole household got sick (including the dog!). I have been trying for two months to do damage control. After much research, I decided on the only unit I could find - the 50150.

It is portable, but large. They don’t warn you that you are supposed to have 3 feet of clearance all around the unit. I’m sorry, but I don’t find it convenient to put it in the center of the room!

I liked that it had a carbon pre-filter as well as a HEPA filter. It also has filter warning lights to let you know the status.

But then there’s the noise….

It has 3 speed settings. On low, it is very loud. On medium, I could barely hear my phone conversation. The dog is afraid to be in the room with it!

While I did notice some improvement in my breathing, I would recommend another model that is quieter. I called and they suggested the 17000 series. I just can’t find any units in town.

Also, for those who are at all chemically sensitive, there is the plastic outgassing issue which is a problem with most affordable store-bought units.

If you’re deaf, it’s a good deal. I spent $113.49 (with tax) at Target in Phoenix (on sale).

I am taking both units back today.

I also wanted to add that, in my shopping, I called a local company (Asthma %26 Allergy Store, Scottsdale, AZ: http://www.ecoclean-az.com) and got some useful information. Gerard suggested that was his first choice as the best brand on the market. However, he asked if I was chemically sensitive. In that case, his first choice is Austin (which I was not familiar with). It is stainless steel and there is no outgassing. Unfortunately, these units are expensive. Austin 200 sq ft model ~$269 and 600 sqft model ~$415; $595-799.

He also said that heat will accelerate outgassing.

Anyway, the hunt continues. If anyone knows of a good place to buy these things in the Phoenix Metro area….

And, to the person who said that units “gently” move air…. Have you checked the 50150? That creates a huge room currents on high and noticeably moves air on low. (A possibly unwelcomed cool breeze effect in winter)
