We are loving our Alen BreatheSmart so much that we are considering purchasing another one for our second floor (which says a lot - these things aren't cheap!)

Happy Then/Happy Now - 2 years follow-up review on my 4 BreatheSmart units.
on August 4, 2015
Posted by: Valerie M.
When our BreatheSmart units arrived on 7/25/13 they were a major game changer in the overall health of my family. We have 2 units in my 4 room office which is a closed environment with central A/C & heat, and windows that don't open. The other 2 units in our home which has no A/C which, in So. Cal. means that at least 8 months of the year all the windows and skylights have to be open. All 4 units have been running continuously now for 700+ days. Since their arrival we've noticed no spike in our electric bills from either location by running our units on the Auto setting 24/7. We loved the units when they first arrived and after 2 years of continuous use, I'm happy to report that they're still kickin' and doing the same great job in both locations that they did from the first day they arrived. The 2 units at home have to work a little harder because our home is located downwind of 4 refineries and just 3 blocks from a major L.A. freeway. Since this freeway is the main corridor for transporting goods from the ports of Long Beach & Los Angeles it gets an excessive amount of traffic 24/7/365 with a disproportionately large volume of 18 wheeler/diesel rigs. So even though the air quality in my neighborhood isn't the cleanest, the windows still have to be left open or we'll roast. That said, the 2 units at home have to work a little harder than the 2 units in the closed environment of the office, and I wasn't sure if they'd last and continue to do the amazing job of cleaning the air at home like they did when they were new. However, now that we have had all 4 units going non-stop in both locations I'm happy to report that all 4 units have been 100% trouble free and are cleaning the air as well as they did day they were first plugged in. And most surprising to us, we found we've saved approx. $2,300 on co-pays for prescription Asthma medicines, etc. that we’ve no longer needed since the arrival our BreatheSmart units. So at this point the units have actually paid for themselves. That's a smart buy on breathing clean air in anyone's book. Thanks Alen, for bringing such a wonderful product to the marketplace.

seems to be doing what the air purifier should be doing, but think it should not be just white.

We have built a new home in the past 6 months and there is a lot of construction dust. The Alen Silver Air purifier has cut the dust by at least 50% and we are able to sleep at night with out snoring.

Very good air purifier

My overall impression is that BreatheSmart HEPA Air Purifier is a well-designed machine. The cabinetry and components appear sturdy and seem like they'll be able to take daily use. This is important because my wife and I set it on Auto and we basically intend to leave it on 24 hrs/day as my wife works from home. The indicator light's changes in color appear to coincide with the level of effort is making and the quality of the air it is purifying. We decided on the BreatheSmart after looking at a ton of air purifier reviews. We had to: The primary function we need is to purify air in our townhome that is being contaminated by unfiltered cigarette smoke from the unit next door, where all the adults (~3) are heavy smokers. We couldn't find the path that the smoke enters our unity but found it heaviest in the Study which is where we put the BreatheSmart. We rate it a 4, almost 4.5, because with the HEPA air filter, the machine does clear the air but is challenged by the job. I would guess it takes at least 4 hours to totally clear the Study (a 15'6" x 11'6" room) after closing the door when it's heavily infiltrated with cigarette smoke. The BreatheSmart is not able to clean the air during an ongoing infiltration so when I'm working in the Study, I get headaches and burning eyes. (The problem is really bad and my wife and I have complained to property management) I'm not sure any machine can meet this challenge. However, because the BreatheSmart is able to clear the air eventually, cycling through red and yellow light indicators, and actually cleaned the air through the entire 1,900 sq ft unit (once the smoking session stopped!), with a little help from the unit's HVAC (forced heat and AC). Therefore, we recommend the Alen BreatheSmart for thorough air cleaning and challenging environments, as long as your expectations tempered. It won't be like clearing out the air in your car as quickly as you would experience when, for example, the car window is opened to fresh air for 5 seconds then closed. Cleaning the air with this air purifier is achieved but takes time. I assume all the very good air purifiers could be similarly challenged by cigarette smoke. Thumbs up!
