We live in a seasonal wildfire location and bought the 45i last year to combat the smoke. My wife has RA and I have migraines. Wildfire smoke is typically present for months in the summer. This purifier has made a HUGE difference in how we feel and function day to day.
I bought the Alen BreatheSmart 45i and the biggest impact this has had is that I no longer wake up with itchy eyes. It's quiet and the ability to turn off any lights on the machine means the room stays dark. I keep it on auto and sometimes when it gets signaled to increase it's purifying power, I'm at a loss as to why. But other times it's pretty consistent- When the dogs shake themselves near it, the speed picks up and more so when they're dirty than when they're clean. I have it along a wall in the bedroom outside along the wall where the bathroom is. When I dry my hair, the purifier really goes into overdrive. I guess hair dryers have unpure air??? When we cook smelly foods, we bring it into the kitchen and it helps clear away the smells a lot faster than just letting them dissipate on their own. I don't have any other air purifier to compare this to but I can say I'm very happy with the performance of this one having lived with it for a few months now.
i’ll only had the system operating for about 1 week and so far it has been an excellent choice...the unit is much quieter than i expected and since it runs all the time that is a real plus for the product...i especially like the light design that lets you know what the condition of the air in your home is, and what might be a goal for cleaner air. i was also pleasantly surprised when i discovered that the unit also has an negative ion generator, which affects the air much like sitting by a waterfall.
I was shocked to see that this machine is actually louder than the 75 I did I had Purchased. I bought it for my bedroom but it's so loud it shouldn't be in a bedroom. I don't know what to do I guess I have to return it. Very frustrating
