Allergy Relief At Last
on February 8, 2016
Posted by: KDkids
Our home is over 100 yrs. old. I;m guessing that our duct work is at least 60-70 yrs old. We have lived here 35 yrs. and I know that the duct work has never been cleaned out any more than what I can reach with a vacuum hose. Although they are cleaned a few times a year our carpeting and drapes are over 25 yr. old. We have always had at least one resident cat and one dog and many children, our own, grand kids and I run a home daycare. Although I keep the house reasonably clean these are all cause for dust allergens a flow.
We decided to purchase an air purifier because I have allergies that I have learned to ignore but one of our married daughters has developed terrible allergies the past few years. Her house is carpet, pet and air scent freshener free. No more real Christmas tree for her. .Problem was that every time that she came to visit our home she was miserable the entire stay with congestion, watery eyes and runny nose.
I did a great deal of research on air purifiers. Some I found to be much cheaper, some more expensive, some not so great reviews and others sounded somewhat comparable in reviews but the one that always stood out as the best quality and value in all reviews was the Alen Breathe Smart Fit50 Air Purifier.
We purchased it through Bed Bath and Beyond in a white finish. We set it up in about 5 min. on a side table in the living room a few days before my daughter and her family arrived for the Christmas holidays. It was set on the auto setting along with a fresh furnace filter as we have always done almost monthly for 36 yrs. The first few days the BreatheSmart ran on high speed continuously but even at that the noise was so minimal that no one noticed unless right next to it. It did not look obvious in the room. Eventually it automatically went to a lower speed.
My daughter and her family spent a week with us. My daughter was so grateful. She felt so much better during her visit -allergy relief that she didn't even have to take her allergy pills except when she spend a day at another relatives home. Even her husband who is very particular commented that the air seemed noticible fresher (maybe no old house smell).
It is now February, I feel that we have had this machine long enough to give it a fair evaluation. I have never turned the machine off. It is set on automatic and runs on low most of the time and we don't even notice it operating. Operating cost have not been noticible. The Alen Breathe Smart Fit50 Air Purifier has been a good purchase for us and I would recommend it to anyone

One in each bedroom. They run quiet. Auto feature is perfect. I manually turn them on high when we leave home. Easy buttons/features. Nice, quiet, compact design.

FIT50 and FLEX
on December 27, 2017
Posted by: Herbert F.
Installed both FIT50 and FLEX same day. My wife has had severe headaches that Doctors were unable to pinpoint the reason for with their tests and scans. I installed these on the possibility that it might be air quality. Has only has one headache since, and that was when I had the FIT50 shut down for prefilter cleaning. It was not as severe as they normally have been. Also, my sinus problems are much better. Time will tell, but so far we are well impressed with the results.

Fit 50 is an efficient filter!
on February 25, 2017
Posted by: Anonymous
Just purchased two Fit 50s to complement my Breathe Smart which now nearly cover my two story home. Fit 50 is very compact and EXTREMELY QUIET compared with the larger unit. All of the units do a remarkable job removing dust, which was my main consideration. Upgraded one of the Fit 50 filters to the HEPA Odor Cell.....uncertain it removes odors at this point, but, worth a try in my estimation. Overall, I am very satisfied with Alen products and may add one more to finish the project. Also, I spoke with Stephen @ Alen Customer Service who was informative and able to tailor my needs better than ordering directly from the website.

Great air purifiers
on December 15, 2019

These are the best air purifiers I’ve found. It is easier to order what you need by telephone, as their website is a little confusing and hard to work.

Until I purchased the BreatheSmart
on July 25, 2015
Posted by: Kathi K.
Until I purchased the BreatheSmart Fit 50 (with VOC filter) I was noticing what seemed to be exhaust fumes in my home, at times so strong that my throat would burn. What a relief...after only a few days I no longer smell the exhaust fumes...my home smells fresh ! Thanks ALEN...for making this possible !

I have had my FIT50
on December 28, 2014
Posted by: Darren B.
I have had my FIT50 for about three weeks and I believe it is making a difference in my home. I have noticed fewer dust particules in the air and less cat hair when its time to dust. So far so good. It is a little noisy but not too bad.
