Love the smart fan speed feature! Great balance of performance, features, and low noise levels. Works well against mold and pollen allergies.

I have very strong mold and moderate pollen allergies. I ran this filter in my bedroom so I can have an allergy free place to sleep and I was impressed by its performance. I didn't have any issues in doors with pollen or mold allergies even during the ragweed or heavy rain season where the counts are high outside. My favorite feature about this air filter compared to others is the smart sensor where it automatically adjusts the fan speed based on particles its sensing in the air. I noticed it kicking up into high speed when I ended up stirring up dust from folding laundry, vacuuming, or even light smoke from cooking. This takes the guess work out of knowing when to turn up the fan speed and saves power. I also like how the filter is quiet enough to easily sleep while running, the ionizer doesnt make a buzzing sound like some other brands, has a slim compact footprint, and the clean air diffuses well across the room in the form of a gentle flow. A potential negative may be odor control. I didn’t test the version with carbon filter, but it may be hard to see how much carbon can fit into the slot for the air filter to reside compared against the bulkier brands out there. In terms of air filter longevity and pricing, I haven’t owned it long enough to speak to this yet. In terms of aesthetics, this has the best looking control interface I’ve used. In summary, I’ve used brands from BlueAir, IQ Air, Air Pura, and Sharp and this has been my favorite one so far in terms of balancing noise, performance, and features.

I’ve had this air purifier
on June 28, 2015
Posted by: Colleen H.
I’ve had this air purifier for 4 months and am very happy with it. I got it to help control my allergic asthma. I live in the pacific northwest. I love that I have options on the filter function so I got the silver one to help manage airborne bacteria and viruses. I love the auto feature so I can turn it on and forget about it. I love that I can turn the LED indications off at night and that it is so quiet in all the speeds but especially in the lower two. I like the filer replacement indicator and the adjustable sensitivity of the particle indicator. I love that I can see what the current state of the air particle density is with the three indicator colors. I like that it is relatively small for its area rating and has a colored panel to match my floors. I like that I can take off the cover and clean the pre-filter. So far I can’t think of anything about this that I don’t like.

We now have 3 Alen units and could not be more pleased. My wife is very ill and air quality is essential. The performance of the three units has been excellent. We can feel the difference.

satisfied customer except for the ionizer
on November 5, 2017

After getting thru pg. #20 of the online reviews, I am very pleased to hear that it cuts down on dust which is why I purchased an air cleaner. I'm so tired of dusting only to have all surfaces covered with dust again in a week. I'm also happy to hear that the unit isn't a big energy hog. I thought about purchasing a cheaper unit, but upon further consideration, I figured if I purchase a cheaper unit I might make up the cost difference in energy consumption because of a less energy-efficient motor. I also like the ease with which I can open the compartment door to get the filter out, so I can clean the pre-filter. The big filter surface is nice, because it processes more air. I also like the filter replacement indicator.
One review I read stated that the customer wished that the unit contained a large UV bulb for sanitation and removal of bacteria and viruses. The fact that this unit doesn't have this feature is also a reason I bought it. Unless one has a comprised immune system, I can't justify this feature - not for my own living space. For hospitals and clinics, it's an absolute must. I also think that are large UV bulb would take more electricity which is what I don't want. However, the review I am referring to is right about the ionizer. An ionizer is supposed to give off a fresh after-a-thunderstorm scent, and I haven't noticed that with the Fit50, which is the only downside of the unit.

Six weeks later, I still love it
on November 27, 2017

I purchased the FIT 50 unit in the aftermath of the Napa wildfires which made the air smokey and gross all over Northern California. I live in a fairly modern and well insulated downtown apartment and keeping the windows closed should make a big difference to the air quality. But I am also pretty close to a freeway and have a dog who sheds. I used to wake up with watering eyes and sneezing. The FIT50 has really cut down on the eye burning and watering symptoms. Also helps greatly with smokey or other smells. Its very intuitive to use and was very well packaged and easy to set up. Though expensive, its worth every penny.

Now awaiting the results. Very easy to purchase, finance, set up, runs very quietly, and the auto adjustment seems to function well. Too early to tell the results as it has only been a few days.

Great Product

My husband and I have experienced upper respiratory problems due to our three cats. This fall our breathing issues became very serious so I purchased the Alen BreatheSmart FIT50 air purifier. Within 24 hours of using the new purifier, we both experienced amazing relief. We have been using the unit for two weeks now and have had no breathing problems at all. I plan to purchase another unit for my office very soon. This is a Great Product!
