After getting thru pg. #20 of the online reviews, I am very pleased to hear that it cuts down on dust which is why I purchased an air cleaner. I'm so tired of dusting only to have all surfaces covered with dust again in a week. I'm also happy to hear that the unit isn't a big energy hog. I thought about purchasing a cheaper unit, but upon further consideration, I figured if I purchase a cheaper unit I might make up the cost difference in energy consumption because of a less energy-efficient motor. I also like the ease with which I can open the compartment door to get the filter out, so I can clean the pre-filter. The big filter surface is nice, because it processes more air. I also like the filter replacement indicator. One review I read stated that the customer wished that the unit contained a large UV bulb for sanitation and removal of bacteria and viruses. The fact that this unit doesn't have this feature is also a reason I bought it. Unless one has a comprised immune system, I can't justify this feature - not for my own living space. For hospitals and clinics, it's an absolute must. I also think that are large UV bulb would take more electricity which is what I don't want. However, the review I am referring to is right about the ionizer. An ionizer is supposed to give off a fresh after-a-thunderstorm scent, and I haven't noticed that with the Fit50, which is the only downside of the unit.
We were very grateful that Alen was able to ship the unit overnight because our son was experiencing poor air quality from the California fires. Expecially since our purchase was pretty late in the day. The unit has been working well and we also know from our son that a friend of his had a very positive experience with Alen.
I love my new breatheSmart Fit50 Hepa Air Purifier! I previously owned another high end Hepa Air Purifier but I was still sneezing and feeling my nose and lungs sting because of the Vog (we have volcanic ash in the air in Hawaii). Since I've been using this Air Purifier my lungs and nose have stopped bothering me. I also noticed the room doesn't accumulate the amount of dust that used to be a problem for me. I also sent one to my daughter since she lives in San Francisco and the smoke from the fires in the Sonoma County have been drifting to where she lives and was making it hard for her lungs, now she's breathing so well and she loves her new Air Purifier. The company even sent her a free filter for smoke. I have recommended this Purifier to all my fiends and family, I tell them it's worth every penny!
I've been skeptical about functionality of air purifier in general, but I've changed my mind. It really purifies the air; I and my bf has significantly less allergic reaction and it does remove odor. I clean the filter once in a while using vacuum thinking it might prolongs its life.
I was stuck with fires for two weeks around where I live and it was hard to breath even after they were under control. Got my Alen BreatheSart FIT50 HEPA Air Purifier and within hours the air in my place was breathable again. I love the auto feature so I can simply leave it on and trust that I'm not overdoing (or undergoing) it and at night I just touch the Start button and all the lights go out for a peaceful sleep! The unit is quiet and I am happy!

Cleared the air and stopped the sneezing and morning phlegm

For years my wife had been sneezing every day ten times without stopping and coughing up phlegm when awakening. I purchased Three Alen T500’s and one Breathsmart FIT 50 and installed them eleven days ago running 24/7. The FIT 50 is in the living room/dining/kitchen area and the T500’s in the two bedrooms and office. Result after eleven days:wonderful clear household air and my wife no longer awakens with phlegm and has only made a single sneeze on two of those days.

We're so happy your units are helping! We love hearing success stories :)
We recently moved into our new home and even after hiring a professional to clean our house twice post construction, we'd still smell the dust around the home. After purchasing this air purifier, the air quality in our home improved a lot!
My wife has an extremely keen sense of smell and always complained about the garbage smelling or the smell of smoke from our neighboring apartment. I purchased an Alen as we are expecting our first child. It has done wonders on the air quality of our apartment and truly eliminated any odors.
