Alen BreatheSmart FIT50 Air Purifier
on July 30, 2018
Posted by: William O.
We bought two of the FIT50 air purifiers with HEPA smoke filters to deal with smoke from the outdoors coming into our house. For a period of time every summer, wildfire smoke settles in our area. I used to wake up with a headache every morning. Not anymore - not one headache since we started using the FIT50s a couple of weeks ago, despite the smoke. What a relief! We have them in our bedrooms, and we are sleeping better, too. Thanks so much!

Excellent, efficient, and high quality air cleaner,

My wife and I purchased the Allen BreatheSmart HEPA Air Purifier in January of 2014 and the results were amazing. We noticed there was no dust on our TV stand or on the top of our appliances. We both suffer from allergies and within two weeks our allergies significantly decreased. We were able to breathe easier and with less red puffy eyes. We placed the air cleaner near the intake of our air conditioner and when I went to replace the filter 60 days later, it had very little dust on it. We liked the Breathesmart so much that we just purchased the Alen BreatheSmart FIT50 HEPA Air Purifier as well. The Air cleaners are both quit when on high and I did notice any change in my electric bill.

Love the smart fan speed feature! Great balance of performance, features, and low noise levels. Works well against mold and pollen allergies.

I have very strong mold and moderate pollen allergies. I ran this filter in my bedroom so I can have an allergy free place to sleep and I was impressed by its performance. I didn't have any issues in doors with pollen or mold allergies even during the ragweed or heavy rain season where the counts are high outside. My favorite feature about this air filter compared to others is the smart sensor where it automatically adjusts the fan speed based on particles its sensing in the air. I noticed it kicking up into high speed when I ended up stirring up dust from folding laundry, vacuuming, or even light smoke from cooking. This takes the guess work out of knowing when to turn up the fan speed and saves power. I also like how the filter is quiet enough to easily sleep while running, the ionizer doesnt make a buzzing sound like some other brands, has a slim compact footprint, and the clean air diffuses well across the room in the form of a gentle flow. A potential negative may be odor control. I didn’t test the version with carbon filter, but it may be hard to see how much carbon can fit into the slot for the air filter to reside compared against the bulkier brands out there. In terms of air filter longevity and pricing, I haven’t owned it long enough to speak to this yet. In terms of aesthetics, this has the best looking control interface I’ve used. In summary, I’ve used brands from BlueAir, IQ Air, Air Pura, and Sharp and this has been my favorite one so far in terms of balancing noise, performance, and features.

Quiet, adjusts speeds automatically, pre filter extends filter life

Bought the BreatheSmart Fit50 to use in the hall between two bedrooms. Last spring I ordered the bigger breatheSmart to use in the livingroom and kitchen area. Both units work great. I have an asthma like condition which seems to be improving since installing these units. I have three dogs so there is always a lot of pet hair and dander around, especially with the hot weather we have had lately.

whisper quiet & works . . .
on June 30, 2014
Posted by: Valerie in California
We hate the name but LOVE the product. We've used it now for about a month and the consensus in our house is that it's a keeper.
The conditions this unit was used under were as follows. We live in Los Angeles, near a very busy freeway, with a lot of industrial truck traffic. We don't have central air so the windows have to be kept open for some air circulation. We also do animal rescues so we always have lots of critters in the house, which translates to lots of pet hair. And given our 3 mile proximity to the beach there are always plenty of mold spores in the air. Needless to say, our environment is less than ideal for those with breathing issues, which means the Fit 50 definitely had it work cut out for it.
I can't believe how quite this unit is. It's even quieter than our BreatheSmart units which are already amazingly quite. The first week I kept checking it to make sure the lights are still on to confirm it's still running, since it's so quite. Since it's installation, I've noticed far less dust on hard surfaces and particles in the air in the room it's used in. No, it's not going to dust your room for you but it does cut down significantly on the number of airborne particles which does result in seeing less dust build up, even with the windows open.
Love the compact size, it fits in more tight places than it's larger partner the BreatheSmart, which was great for giving us lots of placement options. This unit would even fit comfortably in a small college dorm room.
The lock button feature is great for those with small children who like to push buttons, or those like us, who have cats that like to walk across the top of the unit.
We especially love the the fact that it restarts itself after a power outage (something all of our past air purifiers couldn't do), That's a definite plus, especially since unlike most noisy air purifiers, the Fit 50 is so quite, that the fact that you're not hearing any noise from it won't immediately alert you that it's off.
Love the great warranty that the Fit 50 comes with too.
I'd definitely recommend it (and do) to friends, co-workers, etc. and wouldn't hesitate to buy another if needed.
In summary: These little units are a lot of clean air bang for the buck in a small, sleek, quiet package, with lots of room placement and filter options. Alen has definitely come up with another winner!! Just change the name.

BreatheSmart Fit50 is Great!
on August 21, 2014
Posted by: DaveL
I've had the Fit50 for about 3 weeks and it has been a great so far. We use it in the bedroom and the fan is so quiet! I really appreciate the Auto feature which adjusts the fan speed based on the air quality conditions. It definitely works as we have a down comforter and when we get into bed or make the bed in the morning you hear the fan speed up as it detects the additional down/dust that moving the comforter creates. After a few minutes it lowers back down and is whisper quiet for sleeping.
I work from home in a basement office so I brought the unit down stairs to test the quality of the air and it was on Turbo for a while before slowing down. I have just ordered and received a second unit for the office!
Look forward to many years of reliable air purification from both units and based on what I've read on the website about the Alen Lifetime Warranty...I've got nothing to worry about if either malfunction.
One suggestion for improvement is how the "Lock" and "Panel Lights Off" feature work together. Once you've locked the panel you can't turn off the lights and once you've turned off the lights, you can lock it. It would be a nice enhancement that once the panel lights off off, you can still hold the Lock button down to lock it. Just a thought!
