I love it! No more stuffy noses!!
on May 24, 2013
Posted by: Gunnar's Mom
My husband and I finally decided to try a purifier for our home. Both of us have sinus issues and we wanted cleaner air. We certainly did our research and chose the Alen BreatheSmart. I cannot tell you how happy we are with this product. No more stuffy noses during the night or in the morning! Definitely a wise investment.

powerful air purifier with many great features!

3rd air purifier purchase for me. I have 2 Alen 350's, one I use for allergies and another my mom uses for a pulmonary condition. This new breathe smart purifier compares well to them. It is larger in size than the 350 but it covers a much greater room area. The purifier is very quiet on the first 2 settings, perfect for sleeping, settings 3 and turbo are louder but still not nearly as loud as the highest setting on the 350. I utilize the auto smart sensor as this purifier is in my family room. The only time I really notice the purifier running is when it is on turbo. The purifier is simple to set up and use for the first time. I would highly recommend this purifier.

Great Product

The BreatheSmart purifier is quiet and super easy to use. The air feels cleaner and we sneezing much less than before. I've slept much more comfortably due to the clean air and to not having to get up through the night to clear my nasal passages. Only thing is I wished it came in different colors to match environment surroundings.

Wow!`

Have only had these running for a couple hours and I can already breathe easier. I bought 3 breathe smart purifiers to cover my 2200 sf house (I have asthma) and I can already tell a difference in the air. All were red when we turned them on (!) and are slowly moving to better air. But, I can breathe better already. Can't believe it!

6 Months Use Update Review
on February 5, 2014
Posted by: Valerie in California
In my original customer review of my BreatheSmart air purifiers I said I would post an update review after we had lived with our purifiers for a while and would share our experiences (good or bad). We've had our BreatheSmarts with the Silver filter (2 at home and 2 in the office) in use for 6 months now. Although I am still taking all of my other allergy and asthma medicines. I have only had to use a rescue inhaler twice since their arrival. On both occasions the electricity had gone out while I was on a trip and even though it had come back on while I was gone, certain appliances and electronics didn't turn themselves back on one of which was my BreatheSmarts. It happened once with the two units at my home and once with the two units at my office, both around the holidays. According to my neighbor the electricity at home had gone out briefly about 7 days before my return. Of course when I got home i couldn't understand why my breathing was so bad to the point of needing a rescue inhaler. After using my inhaler, I checked the BreatheSmart units only to find that both of them were completely off. Once the units were back on I've not needed to use my inhaler at all at home. In mid-January I left for a trade show and everyone was out of the office for about 5 days. When I got back to the office I had my first asthma attack in office since the BreatheSmarts arrived. The day I left for the show, the electric company was working on something behind our building. As I was leaving for the show they informed everyone in our building that the power was going to be down for about 20 mins. I didn't give it a thought since we were all going to be at the trade show anyway. What I forgot was that the BreatheSmarts would be off the full 5 days until we came back from the trade show. Once we came back from the trade show the office didn't smell as fresh as usual and I immediately had an asthma attack which surprised me since I've not needed my inhaler since the BreatheSmart units came into the office 6 months ago. Then I remembered since the electricity was turned off briefly that the BreatheSmart units were still off. I immediately turned them back on and have not had required a rescue inhaler even once since they've been back on. This confirmed the results I had when they first arrived. They are definitely making a big difference in our air quality both at home and in the office. By the way, I've attached a picture of what we vacuum off of our pre-filters every other week. And this is just the big gunk we can see. I can only imagine what the inside of the main filter looks like with all of the smaller stuff we can't see.
P.S. - The units that are in my home work and make a difference even though we have the windows and skylights open on warm days since we don't have air conditioning. This January we had wild fires in the Los Angeles metro area which put a lot of ash in the air to the point it rains down like little tiny snow flakes covering cars and coming in open windows, etc. In the past when this has occurred, the ash residue inside the house would be so thick on our counters and other hard surfaces that you could write your name in it. This January we had the first wild fire in the Los Angeles metro area since we've had our BreatheSmart purifiers in place. And as usual once again ash was in the air and for a couple of days gently raining down on everything like usual. And since the weather in L.A. for those days was in the mid 80's of course we had to leave the windows and skylights open. This year however, each day when we'd return home from work we didn't find the usual ash build up on the counters and hard surfaces like in the past. And this time even though ash was in the air and the windows where open I didn't suffer my usual asthma attacks. Don't get me wrong, these machines aren't "vacuum cleaners" that are going to clean all the dust off of the surfaces in your house, but they will clean the gunk out of your air to help you breathe better.

We love our BreatheSmart!
on July 9, 2014
Posted by: andy113
This product is like the air purifier for lazy people (read, me). I love it. I can always look over at the sensor and tell what the air quality in the room is and hear the unit working harder when the sensor isn't blue. We have 2 actually. One is in our son's playroom and one is in his bedroom. I know that I can just turn it on auto, walk away and not ever have to wonder if it's working because I can see and hear that it is. Amazing product!

I'm chemical sensitive, & it works for me!
on February 16, 2014
Posted by: Katherine
I bought this purifier after returning a purifier from different company,because I am chemically sensitive and the off gassing bothered me. So, My husband called Arlen and questioned them extensively about this purifier. They customer service rep knew his stuff, and knew about chemical sensitivity. He suggested this purifier without a carbon filter. He told my husband that the material is high grade plastic and does not off gas. Well, we bought it. And it is awesome. There was a very faint smell for about one week. (My husband didnt smell a thing, but I have a super sensitive nose and smell everything) Now, it smells like perfect pure air, and I love it. I am thrilled. I am the pickiest and fussiest consumer, and I give it an A+!
