Allen BreatheSmart improved my wife's health
on August 17, 2014
Posted by: Grandpa
Prior to purchasing the Breathe Smart, my wife has a constant severe cough. The cough was constantly for 24 hrs and it started 2 months prior. At times she would wake up because she could not breathe. The heavy coughing would last up to 5 minutes. She had gone to her personal physician which prescribed a cough medicine. The medicine did not help and then she went to another physician that ordered and EKG and chest X-Rays. He prescribed an antibiotic. This did not work either.
I ordered the Breathe Smart and turned it on. She immediately started to breathe better and the coughing begin to be less constant. She also went to an allergist who after studies declared she was allergic to trees, mold ,grass dogs and begin allergic shots. The allergist stated that this has been the worst year for allergy due to the weather. With the medication and Breathe Smart the cough has practically gone away.

This Air Purifier has been life changing.

The Alen BreatheSmart has definitely been life altering for my wife and I. My wife suffers from severe allergy/asthma respiratory issues and the purifier has turned our house into an environment of safety. During ragweed season, she gets sick just walking from my car to our home; after getting our purifier, this has been her best allergy season in years. We even took our BreatheSmart on vacation with us to use in our hotel room. Friends and family can tell a difference in our house too...my Father-in-law said it smelled "like a clean hospital room," walking in our door. A truly wonderful product, worth every penny!

OUTSTANDING PURCHASE
on September 18, 2013
Posted by: Jody
At 85, my mother has terrible allergy, asthma and sleeping problems related to medical issues. I bought the Breathe Smart system in hopes of giving her some relief. It has done so much more than that!! She no longer sleeps with 3 pillows and is overwhelmed with emotion to tell you that she slept an entire night without waking. The difference in air quality is amazing. There just are no words to tell you what a difference this made in her life as well as in mine as her primary care-giver. This product I feel, has also given me MY life back. Thank You

Love love love my Breathesmart!!!
on August 17, 2014
Posted by: Thanx
Let me preface by saying, I think I've researched (and tried some) virtually every brand of air purifiers out there...AND I'm hypersensitive to allergens as well as just being picky.
I LOVE our Breathesmart!!! It works flawlessly and definitely cleans the air. He (I named him Alen ;) is constantly working. Even when I think the air is clean and nothing is moving around, he'll kick in and clean the air more. I have it set on Auto during the day, and on lowest setting when we sleep.
This unit is QUIET!!! No hums, rattles, swishes, uneven sounds, etc. it is almost salient, if not completely silent on Low. On the second setting, you can hear it slightly- but even with my radar ears, it's no bother. The third and turbo setting you can hear, but definitely can carry on a conversation, watch tv, talk on the phone, even sleep if you're a normal sound sleeper.
This was my biggest concern in purchasing a purifier. So many brands claim silent or ultra quiet, and I would not be able to sleep with that type. Alen is ACTUALLY quiet. The decibels are in the product description.
When I take a shower, it'll turn from blue to red, and kick in to clean the air! We have the purifier (Alen;) about 25 feet away from the shower and it's that sensitive. We have a townhome and on our second floor, which is approx 1000 sq ft., the air is clean with just the one unit!
Unit arrived in about 4 days and I was kept up to date with tracking info. The packaging was great too, easy open box, protected unit, and easy to pull unit out of box! The silver filter we ordered came inside the box, so just one package.
Alen corp. offered us a military discount, which we greatly appreciated. Also, about three days after we had been using the unit, it started making an odd knocking/rattling sound so I had to shut it off completely.
When I contacted the company, the first two reps were sort of confusing, but professional and helpful. I was transferred to a supervisor who quickly clarified what needed to be done for the exchange and I was sent a replacement immediately. Easy! I was told this was not normal, and the new unit we have, works perfectly!! It's been about three weeks and not a peep, except for when it's on a high setting, but even then "I" can tolerate the sound.
If you are contemplating purchasing this, it is worth every penny!!!! We also have two BlueAir purifiers which are on different floors of the house, and love those too- in case you are researching both top of the line brands. Neither one would be a bad choice- both are SUPERIOR!!! In fact, BlueAir is known for it's silence, and it is! but on high I think Alen is slightly quieter. Another difference is BlueAir gets down to .1 micron and Alen is .3. Again, even with my hypersensitivity, I cannot tell a diff and love our Breathesmart!
Thank you Alen Corp for our 'Alen', we love it and am very happy with our investment! BTW, because if my allergen sensitivity, we have a silver filter and it's perfect. We also don't have pets nor smoke.
Note: to turn off the bright lights on the unit, just press the on/off switch once. The purifier still runs on teh setting you put it on, but you can sleep in the dark. No bright illumination! We learned that the hard way :).
The unit is lightweight for an average person and easily carried by the handle built in on teh top of unit. I hope I covered enough to help you in your search. I read tons of reviews and called Alen before we purchased, and it helped us decide.
Sorry so long.
Stay healthy! Breathesmart :)

Tremendous product that has already delivered results. We live in a high humid, high mold region so we're putting this machine to work. This is our second Alen product and we recommend them highly.

Needed assurance
on September 30, 2017
Posted by: Tammy L.
I recently moved into a house that had to be cleaned top to bottom as there was lots of dust and some surface mold from the fridge. The house had been shut up for 6 months without air. I feel so much better knowing the Alen is running. I only wish I had bought years ago at our previous home!
