Hunter 30090 QuietFlo HEPA Air Purifier with 3-Speed Fan

Summary: So impressed I bought another!
Comment: You can see the results! Bright sunshine coming through the window showed air was not clear, haze and particles in it. Couple of hours on medium and it was crystal clear! Can't see any reason to run on high which is slightly loud unless something on the stove burned. Seems well made. Will probably change charcoal filter rather than washing since it has a finite adsorptive capacity which washing won't remedy. Half list price was deciding factor in purchase.

Summary: Great Air Purifier
Comment: I purchased this air filter for my bedroom because I have a slight allergy to dust, and I like "white" noise. I generally keep it on the "low" speed so that I can sleep. And even on the "low" speed I notice less dust in my room. When I clean in the room, I turn it on "high" for about an hour just to catch any particles that might be floating around. I have had this for about six months, and it still is on the first filter. I am very happy with this machine.

Summary: Hello fresh-smelling house!!!
Comment: I have never used an air-purifier,but the minute the windows had to be shut for winter,I knew something non-toxic had to be used to fight "doggy winter-odor" from taking over the house. So,not knowing anything whatsoever about air-purifiers,I did some research and ended up with the Hunter. I chose this model because it wasn't very expensive.Also,I knew it wouldn't harm my 4 parrots in any way. That was the number one factor in choosing an air-purifier.
It works.I use it in the living room and have asked my friends to come over to walk in the front door to see if the stale dog odor was still overpowering.They all took deep breaths and pronounced the air fit to breathe.It collects a lot of dander and hair and such.
With 4 dogs,2 cats and 4 parrots,it is hard to keep the dander down to a tolerable level.Maybe I will do an update in the future,but for now,I'm completely satisfied.Oh,one more thing:it is fairly quiet and even on the highest level,the noise is minimal.Plus,the filters are easy to get at.
Maybe I can finally have people over who don't instantly make a "ewww...dogs!" face when they walk in the door.I made it every time I came back from shopping or whatever,but the few days I've used this product,the air seems fresher now.

Summary: bad motor
Comment: The motor gets noisy after a couple of weeks. Also, there is no way to tell which way the hepa filter goes in. So, when diagnosing the motor problem I apparently put the hepa filter in the other way and the machine blew all the trapped particles back into the air and I had a massive allergy attack. This product is inexpensive for a reason.

Summary: Good and Quiet
Comment: I chose this purifier because it was inexpensive and got a decent review on Consumer Reports. I am very happy with it because its quiet on the low setting so I can leave it on overnight. My husband didn't even notice it was on. (We had to turn off our old purifier but it was meant for a larger room). Only minus-- don't count on being able to use the replacement timer because I found one of the knobs impossibly hard to turn. I guess a little post-it note will do.
