GermGuardian 3-In-1 HEPA Air Purifier for Home, Large Rooms Up To 915 Sq. Ft. with HEPA Air Filter, UV-C Light & Odor Reduction, AC5000E, 28" Tower, Gray

I have bad allergies and needed something to help with mold, cedar and two dogs that shed a lot. After doing some online research I ordered this unit and I placed it in my bedroom. I then turned it on high and turned on the UV light, closed the bedroom door and let it run for about an hour while I did a couple things. When I opened the door it was a very noticible difference as it knocked out the bad pet smell and the air was much cleaner. That evening when I went to sleep, I put the unit on medium and left the UV light on and I made it through the night without sneezing and my eyes didn't itch nearly as bad. For two weeks now, I'm feeling much better. I ordered another one for my son and put it in his bedroom and it's working great. Then I bought two more so now I have 4 units. I didn't know what to expect upfront when the first one arrived, but I can honestly say it has made a difference and I am sold. During the day, I turn off the unit in the bedrooms and close the door, and turn on the one that is now in my family room. I have found if you turn it on HIGH for an hour with the UV light on it knocks out the allergens. Then right before I go to sleep, I'll turn off the UV light and leave the unit on medium for the rest of the night and it works great. The real test will come this January when Cedar hits as it gets really bad where I live, but I have no doubt I will see a big difference. If you buy this, you should definitely feel a difference. The other thing I like is the unit is not loud which makes it easy to fall asleep. When turned on the UV light that's located inside the unit is visible and not very bright, but it is also accompanied by a blue light on the top of the unit which at night is pretty bright for me. Keep this in mind when you decide where to place the unit as it can also double as a small night light. However, if it's a problem, without turning off the power button, you can just turn off the UV light which is separate. It appears the UV light really does it's job and I haven't had to keep it on all the time, but for the first 3 days I did just so it could knock everything out in the air. I don't usually write a product summary, but I feel this one is worth it.

A great product, does a good job cleaning the air.

We've owned 3 of these HEPA air cleaners for almost 10 years. They are very dependable, work well to clean the air, and just keep going. Just purchased a fourth as my oldest son took one to college. We have one in each bedroom. Having the fan on at night also provides nice white noise, not too loud, but just enough noise to isolate background noises. I would purchase again, and have.

I now have three of these units in my home. My wife is allergic to all kinds of "stuff". I am pleased with the performance of this unit and it has helped to reduce allergy issues in my house, BUT I have had one defect... The unit performs well. Sound levels are acceptable at higher speeds and very quiet at lower speeds. I have one unit in my family room, one in the upstairs loft, and one in the master bedroom. I used a Sharper Image Ionic Breeze for nearly twenty years (yes 20 YEARS). It had UV, but was not well shielded which ment I had to keep the unit away from the kids. The wife also had problems if the unit was producing too much ozone (..in the master bedroom). These towers do a good job of shielding the UV light with no ozone. The unit is well designed and quality built, but it is the UV light that I had the defect with. The very first unit burned out it's UV bulb in less than a week. I returned the unit without issues and got a replacement. I decided I would let it run for a bit to see if the second unit had similar problems, it did not. So now I have three... **UPDATE: 2-3 months in now and I have 2 more units with burnt out UV bulbs. These bulbs are $31 each. If these bulbs burn out at this rate there's no way I can afford to keep these units around. Also, forget the six month life cycle on the HEPA filter.. Mine got completely clogged in 2-3 months. Not huge because it shows how well the filters are working in my home, but these filters are starting to look like a very expensive maintenance item. So just be aware that long term, this units will cost you $$$. Dropped the rating due to these issues... ***LAST UPDATE: I finally figured out the UV bulb problem. Two of my units kept blowing UV bulbs constantly (I almost gave up on this thing), BUT 1 never blew its bulb. I started to wonder why and realized that this particular unit was plugged into a power block with a surge protector. I decided to add surge protectors to my other two units, so I purchased and installed a Minuteman MMS110 Surge Protector from Amazon on each unit. I haven't had any UV issues since, and it's been several months now. Sooo, it appears these units are very sensitive to power spikes. If you're having similar issues, try a surge protector! Going back to 4 stars!

Llego súper rápido, en perfecto estado y de inmediato lo conecte y empezó a funcionar perfecto. Súper silencioso.
