This Multipure Aquaversa MP750 is certified to reduce lead and chlorine too, according to NSF standards. This model is only 9.25 inches deep—the shallowest of the choices here—and is a little squatter than the others, so measure your under-counter space before you buy. It’ll cost you about $90 per year to replace the filter cartridges. Most models circulate air through a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, and often more than one.
They have the H13 HEPA main filter that may cost about $100 but needs to be changed only once per year. With other air purifiers, you’re looking at 3-5 filter replacements per year, and a total cost of about $300. On top of that, Alen is the first air purifier brand to introduce a lifetime warranty. By buying the Lasko Box Fan Classic, you’re playing it safe; the warranty covers all the problems you may have. The Classic is a very reliable model but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Sadly, the noise levels are also a bit of a con for the Classic model, paradoxically so I may add.
The Alen BreatheSmart 45i Quiet, Big Room Air Purifier, Plus Extra HEPA Filter is a great choice for bedrooms, living rooms, nursery rooms, home offices, dens, and more. HEPA filtration captures dust, dander, pollen, mold, and other allergens from the air leaving the air cleaner and fresher. The Alen BreatheSmart air purifier is an impressive combination of simple design and smart technology. Its large, plain exterior houses a specially designed fan and air chamber that allows the air purifier to clean a large amount of air while maintaining a peaceful environment. The BreatheSmart’s noise level is in the pink noise spectrum, which provides a more relaxing, low-frequency sound than white noise.
It will certainly be interesting to monitor the performance over the year to see how well the filter holds up. Under similar real-world tests, the HEPA filter continued to prove its worth. With the purifier set to auto, it was reassuring to see the turbo speed kick into action when needed, especially when I was aware pollutants were in the air. Paul is our go-to-guy for air purifier and dehumidifier reviews. His apartment has become a de facto HouseFresh test lab where he pits the latest clean air technology against the perils of city center life. When he’s not putting a purifier through its paces, Paul likes to endlessly dig through dusty record shops (making his dust-free apartment even more important).
The filters are all large and designed to tackle different ailments like allergens, germs, chemical odors, smoke, pet odor, dander, etc. This purifier has air quality detection which allows it to sense current air quality and adjust the fan speed accordingly. Thanks to its Energy Star-rated efficiency, running this purifier will cost less than you think.
If you wanted to run the unit on a timer, you have the option to run it either for either two, four, or twelve hours. Automatic mode is also an option where it will automatically optimize the purifier for you. BreateSmart 75i’s much improved, the better-looking control panel is on the top of the unit while there are intakes on both sides and the bottom of the system.
