I absolutely love our filter,I can smell,and see the difference in the quality of clean air in our apt,when our filter has not been used in days. It helps my son sleep better due to allergies, and my apt does not smell like puppies even though we have 2 dogs.I own 3 filters one for each room and the bigger one for the living room. I purchased the filters 2 years ago and I am very pleased with my purchase.
Purchased unit for food odors. Left unit on automatic for two weeks and it didn't really seem to do that good of a job to get out food odors (placed unit in kitchen) . Also very noisy. Does benefit from dust removal.
Our home is over 100 yrs. old. I;m guessing that our duct work is at least 60-70 yrs old. We have lived here 35 yrs. and I know that the duct work has never been cleaned out any more than what I can reach with a vacuum hose. Although they are cleaned a few times a year our carpeting and drapes are over 25 yr. old. We have always had at least one resident cat and one dog and many children, our own, grand kids and I run a home daycare. Although I keep the house reasonably clean these are all cause for dust allergens a flow. We decided to purchase an air purifier because I have allergies that I have learned to ignore but one of our married daughters has developed terrible allergies the past few years. Her house is carpet, pet and air scent freshener free. No more real Christmas tree for her. .Problem was that every time that she came to visit our home she was miserable the entire stay with congestion, watery eyes and runny nose. I did a great deal of research on air purifiers. Some I found to be much cheaper, some more expensive, some not so great reviews and others sounded somewhat comparable in reviews but the one that always stood out as the best quality and value in all reviews was the Alen Breathe Smart Fit50 Air Purifier. We purchased it through Bed Bath and Beyond in a white finish. We set it up in about 5 min. on a side table in the living room a few days before my daughter and her family arrived for the Christmas holidays. It was set on the auto setting along with a fresh furnace filter as we have always done almost monthly for 36 yrs. The first few days the BreatheSmart ran on high speed continuously but even at that the noise was so minimal that no one noticed unless right next to it. It did not look obvious in the room. Eventually it automatically went to a lower speed. My daughter and her family spent a week with us. My daughter was so grateful. She felt so much better during her visit -allergy relief that she didn't even have to take her allergy pills except when she spend a day at another relatives home. Even her husband who is very particular commented that the air seemed noticible fresher (maybe no old house smell). It is now February, I feel that we have had this machine long enough to give it a fair evaluation. I have never turned the machine off. It is set on automatic and runs on low most of the time and we don't even notice it operating. Operating cost have not been noticible. The Alen Breathe Smart Fit50 Air Purifier has been a good purchase for us and I would recommend it to anyone
It's hard to tell if it's working because the light is red 95% of the time. But, it's beautiful, user friendly and in a smaller room, gives a sterile clean smell to the air. The noise isn't too loud, great background noise when sleeping. Glad I've got it.
This air purifier is simple to use and works within minutes. My allergies have improved since using this machine along with the sneezing I used to experience. After researching several different air purifies I'm glad I purchased the Fit 50. I would highly recommend this machine.
I have purchased a total of four of these units for my work environment. I also purchased one that is a little larger for a bigger space. The staff loves them. They really do filter the air and are very quiet. I use the Hepa silver filter because we have aquite a few people in small areas and we work with the public as well. Customer service with this company is awesome too, really.
