whisper quiet & works . . .

We hate the name but LOVE the product. We've used it now for about a month and the consensus in our house is that it's a keeper.
The conditions this unit was used under were as follows. We live in Los Angeles, near a very busy freeway, with a lot of industrial truck traffic. We don't have central air so the windows have to be kept open for some air circulation. We also do animal rescues so we always have lots of critters in the house, which translates to lots of pet hair. And given our 3 mile proximity to the beach there are always plenty of mold spores in the air. Needless to say, our environment is less than ideal for those with breathing issues, which means the Fit 50 definitely had it work cut out for it.
I can't believe how quite this unit is. It's even quieter than our BreatheSmart units which are already amazingly quite. The first week I kept checking it to make sure the lights are still on to confirm it's still running, since it's so quite. Since it's installation, I've noticed far less dust on hard surfaces and particles in the air in the room it's used in. No, it's not going to dust your room for you but it does cut down significantly on the number of airborne particles which does result in seeing less dust build up, even with the windows open.
Love the compact size, it fits in more tight places than it's larger partner the BreatheSmart, which was great for giving us lots of placement options. This unit would even fit comfortably in a small college dorm room.
The lock button feature is great for those with small children who like to push buttons, or those like us, who have cats that like to walk across the top of the unit.
We especially love the the fact that it restarts itself after a power outage (something all of our past air purifiers couldn't do), That's a definite plus, especially since unlike most noisy air purifiers, the Fit 50 is so quite, that the fact that you're not hearing any noise from it won't immediately alert you that it's off.
Love the great warranty that the Fit 50 comes with too.
I'd definitely recommend it (and do) to friends, co-workers, etc. and wouldn't hesitate to buy another if needed.
In summary: These little units are a lot of clean air bang for the buck in a small, sleek, quiet package, with lots of room placement and filter options. Alen has definitely come up with another winner!! Just change the name.

Really too early to grade

Really too early to grade except for the ease of setup. Starting to notice some improvement in dust control in our bedroom but not ready to rate quite yet.

My boyfriend and I are sleeping like babies. We love how quiet the motor is as well. We are considering buying another one next year.

Alen BreatheSmart FIT50 is great for bedroom

I bought this air filter because the smoke from nearby wildfires really bothered me. It's been very effective. I have it at the lowest setting and can hardly hear it. Once the "smoky" season is over (even the smoke from heating systems and fireplaces sometimes bothers me), I will change the filter to one that removes mold. This choice of filters is one reason I chose this model.

I have two FIT50s (one at home, one in my office) and I love them. They really do a great job.

We used our Alen Air Purifier to clean the air in our house after mold was found. It works great! Got great service when I called in to figure out exactly which unit would work for our situation. Thank you!

Good machine. Couldn't say how long they will last as I've only had mine about a month.

We got the silver filter for mold and bacteria--Love the peace of mind knowing the air is clear of mold, especially living in Florida after Irma!
