Good Air Quality
on August 21, 2019
Posted by: Elliott
from Florida
I liked the unit. It was sleek, well built and the quality of air coming out of the unit is quite good.
Problems -
1 - The unit does not move enough air - it seems to be focused on being quiet
2 - In the Florida heat the unit will sometimes not start when the car is first started. The unit will have to completely cool and then it will start much...later. Disappointing for a unit of this price point.

Hi Elliott,
Thank you very for much for leaving your review!
We’re happy to hear that you’re satisfied with the overall quality and performance of your Atem Car.
Please see our responses to your issues below:
--The Atem Car has a customizable airflow range of 2 to 37 cubic feet per minute (cfm). With your vehicle’s windows sealed and the HVAC system set to recirculate the air, the Atem is designed to clean your interior air up to 20 times per hour, or approximately every 3 minutes. While the Atem operates quietly to provide a serene user experience, it’s ultimately engineered to filter your interior air as effectively and efficiently as possible. The quickest way to enjoy crisp, clean air is to have your Atem running on the highest fan speed during your drives.
--Regarding the issue you’re experiencing with the Atem failing to start until it cools down completely, we’d love to look into this further. At your convenience, please contact our Indoor Air Quality Experts at (888) 560-1020.
Thank you again for leaving your feedback. We look forward to connecting with you, Elliott.

Nice form factor/design. very easy to set up. Not too noisy. Works well. Keeps PM 2.5 levels zero in my car. Down sides: 1-no pm 2.5 monitor on the device 2-No way to turn off the Bluetooth. 3- power cord is a little short for for 3 row SUV (barely makes it). Despite working engine, magnetic fields and electric fields are not significantly increased for the nearby passengers. This was a big concern for me but turned out to be ok. I did the testing when outside pm2.5 concentration was just moderate and car air flow was in re-circulation mode. I don't know if the device will be able to keep internal PM 2.5 concentration low when outside PM 2.5 is high or air circulation is open to outside. Given it size it is unlikely that it will be able to keep PM 2.5 low if the air circulation is open to outside. When I keep air flow in re circulation CO2 gets very high (more than 10 times baseline) above 4000 ppm even in half an hour so it is something to think about. If you want to keep the PM 2.5 low then CO2 will rise unless outside pm 2.5 is already low then you can circulate outside air and still have low internal pm 2.5.

So Quiet, So Effective
on May 17, 2019
Posted by: feistyone
from Los Angeles, CA
I bought this because I spend a good amount of time on the road commuting to work. I've always been concerned about the vehicle exhaust I'm probably breathing. With my windows up, car climate controls set to recycle, and this car air purifier running, I actually feel much better when I get to work. It turns on and off with when I start and stop the engine. I've heard people say it's large, but people that ride in the back seat of my car barely noticed it. Granted I drive an SUV.
My husband I recently took a road trip to Northern California. I have bad seasonal allergies and I was expecting to have an allergy attack as we drove through the agricultural areas on our trip. I can say, I didn't have one issue. I love this thing!

excellent product
on March 18, 2019

I have Atem purifiers in two of my vehicles - a Chevy Volt and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. My wife and I both have allergy problems and asthma, and purchased the Atems to clean up the allergens (pollen) and particulates (diesel emissions, dust and wildfire smoke) that get past the cabin air filters in our vehicles. The Atems do a great job on both issues in each vehicle, even when run at a low fan speed (20%), which has a completely unobtrusive noise level. The Atems attached easily to the back of the front passenger headrest, and do not rattle while the vehicle is moving. The Bluetooth iphone app works well, but after some initial configuration I just have the Atems run at 20% of max fan speed when the car starts. The Atems extend our allergy-free comfort zone from the house, where we have Health Pro Plus filters, to our vehicles. Great product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’m THE most discerning, picky human being I know so I was looking for the absolute best car air purifier that actually works like super-fast magic, making my car smell like fresh clean perfection to my bloodhound nose right away. Well this is it. I am SO relieved, relaxed and delighted with my purchase!

Wonderful purifier, wish the power supply was.
on July 23, 2019

from Sitka, Alaska
This air purifier opened up the ability for me to travel again since my carbon monoxide poisoning and newly developed sensitivity to all fuel cars. The power source is lacking though. There is only a cigarette charger sent with unit, which I do not have in my truck. So I bought a battery backup power supply. That backup supply did not include a wall plug in and my other wall chargers would not work with it. The only thing I was able to charge it with was my computer, so I was forced to bring my computer to Norway to charge it. I finally found a wall unit that worked but it was an extreme hassle and expensive. Wonderful purifier though. I wish it had a higher power setting to cycle air quicker but all in all, I love it.

Best purifier I have found to help with my illness
on October 2, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
I take it with me everywhere I go because I ordered the additional stand to set it on a surface. Illness keeps me isolated from people due to smells, scents, perfume,etc. This gives me some freedom back.

Love how it's portable and sleek. It's nice to have the option to tie to back of car seat to save space or to put it on a stand to use in the room.
