I have been running it now about 6 months in a home with open floor plan. It detects cooking fumes easily. At baseline it is running very quietly. When it is dirty and needs cleaning it will start making crackling noise. This is roughly monthly in my home, it will depend of course on the environment. The collecting plate will have dark dust on it that rinses of well in hot water. The wire frame picks up lot of dust as well. The wire frame is a more fragile part of the airdog and only needs to be wiped down. There are a couple of pre-filters on each side that need vacuumed every once in a while. The only true negative is that the collecting plate has to dry for 24hrs after washing during which the unit is out of commission.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have several airdog's in our house (3 of the X5's and 1 of the X8's) and they have been flawless for years now. The air in the rooms is noticeable, especially with the smoke in the air during fire season or with dogs sleeping in our rooms. The X8 is an amazing piece of engineering and does a great job in larger rooms. We love how easy it is to maintain and appreciate not having to buy filters all the time like other brands. In summary, we love the airdogs and highly recommend it to anyone who wants cleaner air!
What difference the air dog has made. Such a difference in such little time. Have pets and it has really freshened up the air inside my home without toxic chemicals
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought mine in December 2021. Airdog has been easy to work with even outside of the warranty period. I used my FSA to purchase the unit. I have asthma and sinus problems. Back in 2023, it was highly effective and reduced the smoke from Canadian wildfires. Even in downstate Illinois, you see the haze in the air. The only thing I would change I would have bought two smaller units one for the living room and one for the master bedroom. When the neighbors burn stuff and the wind is out of the southeast I can smell it even with windows closed. I have to leave my bedroom door open to have filtered the air. If they made a whole house HVAC filter unit I would consider that.
Well, this is not a commercial product, I used this in a commercial setting for the last five years. The power and simplicity of the system, and the ease of cleaning it, made this a no-brainer. I must say this is a really well built machine. While its exterior has shown the wear from being in my warehouse, it has run essentially nonstop since I bought it. Here’s to Airdog and the engineering of a fine product!
Amazing product!! I can not live in my home without this air purifier. As someone who has asthma and suffers during fire season, this is a must have. It makes my house smell cleaner and overall improved the air quality immensely. The air dog company is amazing too, always willing to help out with any product issues too. Highly recommend this product or any products in their product line.
