Love it!
on July 6, 2014
Posted by: JL
I have four dogs and this works wonderfully in purifying the air and eliminating pet odor. I love it that it isnt bulky. It's a classy white color, slim and compact. It was super easy to put together and very user friendly. It's loud on the higher settings, but the noise doesnt bother me since i leave it in the living room and only use it in the day time.
I got it primarily for pet odor, but i noticed that when we had our cook-out inside the house over the 4th of july weekend (it was too hot outside), it actually helped with all the cooking odors as well. Well worth the money. i am a super happy user! Highly recommend!

BreatheSmart Fit50 is Great!
on August 21, 2014
Posted by: DaveL
I've had the Fit50 for about 3 weeks and it has been a great so far. We use it in the bedroom and the fan is so quiet! I really appreciate the Auto feature which adjusts the fan speed based on the air quality conditions. It definitely works as we have a down comforter and when we get into bed or make the bed in the morning you hear the fan speed up as it detects the additional down/dust that moving the comforter creates. After a few minutes it lowers back down and is whisper quiet for sleeping.
I work from home in a basement office so I brought the unit down stairs to test the quality of the air and it was on Turbo for a while before slowing down. I have just ordered and received a second unit for the office!
Look forward to many years of reliable air purification from both units and based on what I've read on the website about the Alen Lifetime Warranty...I've got nothing to worry about if either malfunction.
One suggestion for improvement is how the "Lock" and "Panel Lights Off" feature work together. Once you've locked the panel you can't turn off the lights and once you've turned off the lights, you can lock it. It would be a nice enhancement that once the panel lights off off, you can still hold the Lock button down to lock it. Just a thought!

BreathSmart FIT50
on July 27, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
Having purchased a high quality room air purifier in the past, I was confident that a HEPA based system from a respected manufacturer would positively impact on the indoor air quality in our home. A lifelong allergy sufferer, I am hypersensitive to keeping up with clean pillow cases and creating a low dust environment - but those efforts yield minimal benefits.
No matter what we try, every night we hear our eight-year-old daughter over the baby monitor struggling mightily with the allergy laden air of South Texas… snorting, snoring, tossing and turning.
After only a few nights with the BreathSmart Fit 50 we have seen a dramatic reduction in sleep time allergy symptoms from our daughter. The downstream affect of sleeping more soundly will SURELY have a positive impact on her days as well. I was nervous about introducing ambient light and noise into my daughter’s sleep environment. After testing in our bedroom, we realized that the Fit 50 purrs like a kitten and the lights turn off completely if you choose.
Lastly, the product is well engineered and intuitive. Top tier fit and finish. Kudos to the designers.

Great features and QUIET!
on June 30, 2014
Posted by: Zoey12
I love the Fit50! The air in my house is so much cleaner since I got it and I can't believe how quietly it runs. My favorite feature is auto. I never realized how much dust could be kicked up just by someone walking around. I have to admit it gives me a little thrill whenever my dogs or family members start moving around and I hear the Fit50 shift to a higher speed because it sensed the change in the number of particulates in the air. For someone that suffers from allergy/sinus issues like me, this is a wonderful machine.

The BreatheSmart Jr. Air Purfier by Alen has literally changed my life.
on June 28, 2014
Posted by: Mich
I never thought that an air purifier could impact my health in so many positive ways.
My asthma and allergies have had a huge negative impact on my daily lifestyle for the past 15 years, but now my sleep and comfort level are much improved, since purchasing my new air purifier. I would like to express my thanks to Alen, for developing the BreatheSmart Jr. as it does an amazing job of removing the pollen and molds from my home. My immune system seems to be revived every night as I sleep. I wake up with a much improved nights rest. I no longer have the headaches and incessant sneezing, that have been a part of my life for years, and the medications to mitigate those problems.
I feel that the BreatheSmart Jr. is affordable, and it is truly a piece of art in any room, with its sleek design and inter-changeable fronts.
I can’t thank Alen enough for this well engineered and outstanding product!
Sincerely,
Mich

whisper quiet & works . . .
on June 30, 2014
Posted by: Valerie in California
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.

Excellent, efficient, and high quality air cleaner,
on September 2, 2014
Posted by: Mark
My wife and I purchased the Allen BreatheSmart HEPA Air Purifier in January of 2014 and the results were amazing. We noticed there was no dust on our TV stand or on the top of our appliances. We both suffer from allergies and within two weeks our allergies significantly decreased. We were able to breathe easier and with less red puffy eyes. We placed the air cleaner near the intake of our air conditioner and when I went to replace the filter 60 days later, it had very little dust on it. We liked the Breathesmart so much that we just purchased the Alen BreatheSmart FIT50 HEPA Air Purifier as well. The Air cleaners are both quit when on high and I did notice any change in my electric bill.

Nice looking unit
on July 14, 2014
Posted by: Suzie
This unit has a sleek, very modern look to it and looks great in any room I put it in. I liked the way you can tell how bad the "particles" are in the room and when they are good again. I have never had an air purifier before this one and was surprised to hear how quiet it actually was. It was light weight and actually really easy to move around from room to room. I would definently recommend this product and have enjoyed the one I have.
