If you have a large space and need serious performance, this machine is up for the task. If you have a smaller space or are on a budget, other models will likely be better suited. All in all, the Alen delivers and we find it’s worth the price. The amount of electricity the device uses and how often you have to replace filters.
In this setting, it omits a pleasant low hum that our testers found to be noninvasive white noise. When running on medium, it was even quieter, and it was all but unnoticeable when set to low. Estimated filter life is 6-12 months with high use, months for normal use and only months for light use. The air in our home is one of the most important factors when it comes to our health. If the air quality is bad, that will impact your health adversely.
The machine automatically notifies you with a red light on the top control panel when filters need to be replaced. Based on your specific environment, there are different filters available for different needs. The filters are all large and designed to tackle different ailments like allergens, germs, chemical odors, smoke, pet odor, dander, etc. The ability to move air throughout 1100 sf within 30 minutes is a good sign of solid performance.
The long-lasting filters for BreatheSmart 75i provide clean air protection on average for months. If you have pets, you need the Hathaspace Smart Air Purifier 2.0. The lasko pedestal fans Classic air purifier is a large purifier designed for XL spaces, cleaning up to 1,100 sf.
Personally, with the light weight and a handy handle, I prefer the more. Alen is, of course, a fan of experimenting with colors and so the Alen BreatheSmart Classic is available with no less than 14 options of hues. My review unit has a normal white body that not only looks great, but is also the most affordable to purchase. John has been researching and reviewing home security and smart home products for Top Ten Reviews since 2013. As well as covering smart home and home security and safety, he also covers other home technology products such as HVAC, garage door openers and more. Many air purifiers are just functional and a bit ugly, but the great design of the BreatheSmart means it won’t look like an eyesore in your home.
They praise its accurate Smart Sensor and reporting, saying they can see the air quality light change based on their activities. During the day, with the purifier set to auto, it occasionally ramped up the fan speed to higher levels. This does create quite a lot of noise and can be distracting, especially if working or even watching TV or listening to music.
