whisper quiet & works . . .

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.

The BreatheSmart Jr. Air Purfier by Alen has literally changed my life.

I never thought that an air purifier could impact my health in so many positive ways.
My asthma and allergies have had a huge negative impact on my daily lifestyle for the past 15 years, but now my sleep and comfort level are much improved, since purchasing my new air purifier. I would like to express my thanks to Alen, for developing the BreatheSmart Jr. as it does an amazing job of removing the pollen and molds from my home. My immune system seems to be revived every night as I sleep. I wake up with a much improved nights rest. I no longer have the headaches and incessant sneezing, that have been a part of my life for years, and the medications to mitigate those problems.
I feel that the BreatheSmart Jr. is affordable, and it is truly a piece of art in any room, with its sleek design and inter-changeable fronts.
I can’t thank Alen enough for this well engineered and outstanding product!
Sincerely,
Mich

Breathesmart Fit50
on June 24, 2014
Posted by: AJ
Not too asthetically pleasing but that's probably not why one would get an air filter, and has a very strong output.
I used mainly the automatic setting. The owners manual says that the three colors are red, yellow, and blue. Mine are dark pink, light pink, and blue. That's a bit of a discrepancy. I also notice that it spends most of the time in the middle setting (moderate particles detected#. It takes a lot of time to actually stay in the blue setting #minimum particles detected). It fluctuates a lot between settings and sometimes it's hard to tell if it's sensor capabilities are always accurate, but I have no reason to believe that they're not working, it's just a new feature. It's hard to imagine that indoor air quality could be that bad.
It's simple to use and easy to understand. I have 3 Alen filters now and have never had any problems with them.

The Breathesmart Fit50 is the best!
on June 23, 2014
Posted by: KitKatZ
The Breathesmart Fit50 is the best! I suffer from allergies and asthma. The purifier significantly reduces the allergens in the air. I love how it automatically adjusts to the changes in air quality. The Fit50 has two air filters. The first one is the Pre-Filter which can be washed or vacuumed.
I believe this is a significant change which will help to maintain the purifier's performance. I keep mine in the bedroom. It's so quiet I can't even tell it's on, especially when I turn the lights of the unit off. The Breathesmart Fit50 does a great job and the air is so much cleaner!
I would highly recommend it to anyone who suffers from allergies, has pets or is concerned about mold in their home.
