We have built a new home in the past 6 months and there is a lot of construction dust. The Alen Silver Air purifier has cut the dust by at least 50% and we are able to sleep at night with out snoring.

Very good air purifier

My overall impression is that BreatheSmart HEPA Air Purifier is a well-designed machine. The cabinetry and components appear sturdy and seem like they'll be able to take daily use. This is important because my wife and I set it on Auto and we basically intend to leave it on 24 hrs/day as my wife works from home. The indicator light's changes in color appear to coincide with the level of effort is making and the quality of the air it is purifying. We decided on the BreatheSmart after looking at a ton of air purifier reviews. We had to: The primary function we need is to purify air in our townhome that is being contaminated by unfiltered cigarette smoke from the unit next door, where all the adults (~3) are heavy smokers. We couldn't find the path that the smoke enters our unity but found it heaviest in the Study which is where we put the BreatheSmart. We rate it a 4, almost 4.5, because with the HEPA air filter, the machine does clear the air but is challenged by the job. I would guess it takes at least 4 hours to totally clear the Study (a 15'6" x 11'6" room) after closing the door when it's heavily infiltrated with cigarette smoke. The BreatheSmart is not able to clean the air during an ongoing infiltration so when I'm working in the Study, I get headaches and burning eyes. (The problem is really bad and my wife and I have complained to property management) I'm not sure any machine can meet this challenge. However, because the BreatheSmart is able to clear the air eventually, cycling through red and yellow light indicators, and actually cleaned the air through the entire 1,900 sq ft unit (once the smoking session stopped!), with a little help from the unit's HVAC (forced heat and AC). Therefore, we recommend the Alen BreatheSmart for thorough air cleaning and challenging environments, as long as your expectations tempered. It won't be like clearing out the air in your car as quickly as you would experience when, for example, the car window is opened to fresh air for 5 seconds then closed. Cleaning the air with this air purifier is achieved but takes time. I assume all the very good air purifiers could be similarly challenged by cigarette smoke. Thumbs up!

Seems to do the job

I had mycotoxins (toxic mold poisoning) it was recommended to get an air purifier. After some research this seemed to be the best one, it captures small enough particles to be effective against mold. Seems to work, haven't noticed a huge difference in air quality, but it does catch a lot of dog hair and dust.

These units are killer

We have had an issue with our Aspen ski home filling up with dust during the year. Our home has no forced air ventilation and we had assumed all was great because our temperatures inside were always comfortable. After having had the home for 20 years, our daughters came to us to say they could not breathe well. We purchased 7 of the BreatheSmart filters for our home. 4500 square feet, which we readily admit is overkill.
However, the home is on several levels and we were unsure as to air circulation. The results have been well beyond our most optimistic expectations. Our daughters and their families have no air quality issues and the dust in the house on the furniture has gone away.
These are a bit expensive, but what product that works and will last years is not?
Run, don't walk, to buy these if our situation sounds familiar.

I live in Georgia, in a city with a huge pollen problem, where each spring everything turns yellow and I have horrible allergy problems.Our Alen purifier has been the answer to my prayers. The air in my home is fresh and the amount of dust and pollen trapped in the filter is amazing.Not only is the Alen purifier effective but extremely quiet.It is super easy to clean the filter and care for.I don't feel comfortable sleeping now without my Alen purifier.

My BreatheSmart purifier is quiet and easy to use. 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. Just a great product!!
