The air purifier arrived in a timely fashion. So far so good.

I have been using this unit for over a year. My daughter has cystic fibrosis which causes significant lung issues.
It says the filter never has to be replaced, just vacuumed. I have been doing that, but only the pre filter was clogged with dust, and allot of it.
The large barrel hepa filter on the top was always white and never dusty. I decided to unscrew some screws on the bottom under the rubber feet to investigate. The instructions are sparse and do not tell you how to get the unit apart for easy cleaning.
I found a large ring of packing styrofoam blocking any air from getting to the hepa filter, so the small carbon pre filter was the only one doing the job.
The unit comes pre-assembled, so you would not know this unless you took it apart. It is not hard to take apart, BUT THIS HAS TO BE DONE OR IT WONT FILTER PROPERLY! THE STYROFOAM HAS TO BE BROKEN INTO PIECES AND YOU WILL SCRAPE YOUR HAND UP GETTING IT OUT IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL.
I have not turned it back on yet, but will update my progress as I find out.

I returned this item. There is no barrier between the part of the machine which pulls in air and the part which pushes it out again. I believe it picks up dust, and then just blows it out again without ever going through the filter. If you put a ribbon above it there is no air movement at all. So I don’t believe that it is changing the air in the room. Also, it blew carbon, from the filter into the air, which got in my eye. I do not recommend this product.

After much research, I puchased this filter for my bedroom to help control dust allergens. After several months of running the unit nearly non-stop, there has been absolutely no reduction in dust. I vaccuum every week and still have to hand-dust, and my bedroom is not that large.
What I do like about the unit is that it is portable, so I will sometimes move it to the kitchen or basement to help control odors.

It seems to work well but there has been no significant changes in our bedroom area, maybe over time we’ll see a greater change.
