I bought a FIT50 shortly before buying a regular BreatheSmart. I have found that I prefer the FIT50 for these reasons: 1. The unit does not automatically come back on following a power outage. It just so happens that we have had two power outages since I received it. The FIT50 came back on right away, the BreatheSmart had to be turned on. Not a huge deal if I am here, but what if I was out of town? 2. The unit does not have a Lock button like the FIT50 does to prevent accidental button pushes say by a child. 3. The body of the unit is white, but the power cord is black. Tacky! On the FIT50, both are white.
The air purifiication seems fine, but I am disppointed that the more expensive unit actually has less features.
After the office flooded, there was a strange smell in the office. I bought Alen BreatheSmart HEPA Air Purifier with silver filter last Tuesday and received on Friday. I could not feel any strange smell this morning after turn on the purifier!! Awesome product, fast shipping, no delivery fee, nice customer service. I strongly recommend this product!
This is my first year to experience seasonal allergies. I understand that once an allergic condition develops, it stays with you for life. Wow. It is miserable. Sneezing, runny nose, crying eyes, aloe tissues. I made an appointment with an allergist and ordered a BreatheSmart for the living room. We think this machine is AWESOME. If I just stay in the house, I am 90% problem-solved. After using the BreatheSmart for three days we were so impressed, we ordered the smaller unit BreatheSmart FIT50 for the bedroom.
I bought my air filter for severe allergy symptoms and am not disappointed. The unit is nice looking, quiet, and my allergy symptoms are gone. My only regret is not buying it sooner.
We bought the Alen BreatheSmart HEPA Air Purifier to alleviate some of the toxic burden on our Autistic daughter. We haven't had it long, but so far so good.
