Review: Excellent Value, but do not underestimate the noise - By no means am I an expert at the exact cleaning abilities of this air purifier or the exact terms used when comparing the specifications of it to other models. Thankfully, you can find those in other reviews. I will describe my impressions and what I have found to be true with this air purifier, both negative and positive. First, some have commented on the smell the unit emits. The manual itself describes that you might notice a smell in the first few hours of usage, but it is nothing horrible. It says it comes from the carbon prefilter and the odor did disappear after the first night of usage. That was not a huge deal to me and it likely occurs in many air purifiers. Second, I have noticed a difference in the air. Some noticeable smells have been dramatically reduced and it certainly helped with allergies. While we were looking to improve the air condition for allergies, we also wanted an air purifier to help with odor (specifically from a wood burning fireplace). This purifier helped in both areas. Third, do not underestimated the noise this unit generates. I noticed a few people commenting on it, but I thought that surely it couldn't be that loud. I was wrong. There is no way you could leave it on its highest setting (unless you were not at home). We leave the unit on the lowest speed at all times and admittedly the noise it produces is within reason. We do turn it off at times (while watching a movie, etc). The noise produced on the lowest speed is okay and I did not see a reason for returning it based on sound alone. However, I think they could have lowered the noise by dissipating the air flow a little bit more. It's not really the machine making so much noise as much as it is the air flow being generated. Speaking of airflow, this unit is very powerful! I was impressed by its power. I use it in a fairly large space and it handles it just fine. I was also impressed by the easy access to filters. Most units do not make it that easy to access the filter for cleaning/replacement, but it is super simple on the 50250. Overall, I really like this unit. It does make some noise, but it also gets the job done and that's what is most important. For the price to quality ratio, this unit would be hard to beat!
Review: Not as loud as I thought it would be - The two things I was worried about when I bought this was the noise level and the bright blue light. I guess I read a few too many reviews and watched too many YouTube "hear how loud this is" type videos and I made myself rethink my purchase while waiting for it to be delivered. (sounds louder in the videos than in does in my house) It arrived late at night, Fedex brought this at about 9:45 P.M. I guess the size of the box made it necessary, it was probably the bottom box in the truck and the drivers last delivery for the day/night. It was in the original packaging then put inside a larger plain box stuff with crumpled paper,....packaged very well. I love it when a company makes sure your larger, heavy, and expensive item gets to your door in great shape! :) I also have a Kenmore Hepa 130 air cleaner that I thought was pretty big, but that is actually tiny compared to this one! I now have to rethink where this will be now that I have it home. It's as big as my husbands garage shop vac minus the hose and wheels! It seems very solid to me also. Wrapping and attaching the pre filter is simple. The knob on the bottom to remove the filter is very easy to open and close, like my other model maintenance will be quick and easy. The cord could be a tiny bit longer, especially if you need to keep it 3 feet from walls and furniture, a longer cord (like my smaller Kenmore cleaner has) would help to get it past and around furniture without having to use an extension cord. The highest setting (cleaning) is a bit loud, but isn't that bad. To me its like the highest setting on my window A/C unit,...can still hear TV but is noticeable when sitting right next to it. The 2nd setting (day time) isn't bad at all and no trouble hearing the TV,...more like a gentle hum. The lowest setting (sleep setting) I can barely hear it, it's very low. The blue light is bright enough to notice. But personally I don't like bright blue electronics lights. Everything in my house that has one of those bright blue lights has a knickknack of some kind sitting in front of the light so I don't have to see it. I don't even like cars that have the super bright blue dashboard lights. They are just too distracting to me.(the lighter green is better) I will probably tape a piece of paper or something over the light. But really, it's not a big deal. It's how this works that is important. I kept this on high for the initial set up for about 30 minutes before turning it down to the 2nd setting. I can tell the difference in the air quality already. Yesterday was the 4th of July, so the air quality today wasn't the best. Add in the indoor pets too and you get a dusty, stuffy house. Since I have had this on I noticed the air smells better and cleaner. No stuffy nose either. I'm sure that this will work perfect for our house. Will update my review if anything changes. I'm hoping we have many years of trouble free use with this machine.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is energy consumption on this?**
A: ¡Low = 50 Watts ¡Medium = 120 Watts ¡High = 170 Watts Leaving this purifier on the high rating 24 hours a day will cost the same as leaving on two non-energy saving light bulbsThere was no noticable increase in my electric bill over a month of usage.

**Q: Does this have the Permanent air filter? One reviewer mentioned having to replace the 3 stack of hepa filterv in addition to the carbon pre-filter.**
A: There are two filters, the HEPA filter, and the charcoal pre-filter. The HEPA filter is rated for 3-5 years, but it depends on the dirt load. If you are using it in a fairly clean area, it  might last 10 years, but if you are using it in a dusty environment, or where there are smokers, it might barely make 3 years. The air will start "puffing" when the filter is plugged. There is also an indicator light, which is probably just based on a timer. The pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months or so, or alternately you can vacuum it periodically with a HEPA vacuum. If you vacuum it and re-use it, the carbon filter will no longer remove solvents and odors from the air, and will only serve to collect larger particles, protecting the life of the HEPA filter. I'm not concerned with removing solvents or odors, so I vacuum and re-use mine.

**Q: can I vacuum the filter?**
A: That is a good question. While you can vacuum the filter to increase the life, you will need to change the HEPA filter eventually as it will get full. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

**Q: Hi. Its my first time using an air purifier. Are we suppose to leave it on all day and night? Thanks.**
A: It can run 24-7 if you want it to. However, when you open the doors or windows you should turn it off since bigger particles will enter from outside. I run mine 24-7 but it is not a requirement. Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Are you attempting to alleviate allergies or asthma? Then run 24-7. Are you trying to just breath cleaner air? I think it would be okay just to run it while you are home.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After Day One.. After 2 years!
*by C***L on October 21, 2015*

*** Update! *** We've now had this air purifier for more than 2 years and it's still going strong. It's on a timer to run from midnight to 7am every day. We run it at night because it does get a bit loud in the living room while watching TV now that we don't have ceiling fans and the air conditioner running (winter time!). Most importantly... The purifier still doesn't make any weird noises, no wobbling, no vibration. I vacuum the outer filter (the black carbon filter) probably once a month now and it is still perfectly fine and in good shape. The inner HEPA filter is still perfect! Maintaining the outer filter keeps anything from really getting to the inner filter which is great. ***UPDATE*** So we've had this air purifier for about 2 weeks now. Still loving it! The amount of dust in our house has been greatly reduced. Still no wobbling, buzzing, or irritating noises. The suction is still going strong. I have noticed that with the air purifier on, I don't need to turn on the ceiling fan; the purifier moves the air enough that the ceiling fan just isn't needed. I love this unit so much that I recently purchased one for my mom! I'll update again with her opinion of the purifier after she's had it for a while. I did notice that a couple days after buying my mom's, the price jumped up to $187. For whatever reason, the price on this air purifier changes from $127 to $187 then back to $127 frequently. If it's $187 when you're looking at it, give it a week and the price will probably drop again. Thanks! ***Original post: We've only had this purifier for one day so far but here are my observations thus far: Super easy to set up. Remove the unit from the box, unscrew the bottom handle, lift the cover from the unit, wrap pre-filter around HEPA filter, replace cover, put screw back on. Plug in unit, turn on. Done. Yes, this unit is loud, but not intolerable. With it on low, I can hear the TV just fine without having to turn up the volume. However, on high, the sound is fairly close to that of a hair dryer. I'm usually very sensitive to noises, but this sounds like a fan (which... it basically is, the vents blow air straight up from the top of the unit). I'm one of those people who simply cannot sleep without a fan on so, this fits right into my comfort zone as far as noises go. There are no odd whirring, buzzing, rattling or humming sounds. As an added bonus, with the unit on low, the white noise effect blocks out a lot of our random outside noises (vehicles, neighborhood pets) that usually drive my Shih Tzus crazy. Their random barking has decreased significantly! The suction is great. If I place a piece of paper near the side of the unit while it's on high, it'll suck the paper right to it. With the unit on low, it doesn't pull the paper to it, but will hold the paper in place if the paper is touched to the side. I read reviews where people complained about the blue light. It's no brighter than an average alarm clock or the time display on a microwave. This is a non-issue for me personally. I also read that people had issues with the purifier wobbling or being unsteady. I have mine sitting on top of a side table that sits on top of carpet. Zero wobbling, no vibrations. It is also worth noting that my house is very open planned; the main living areas (living room, dining room, kitchen and utility room are together/separated by arches) and the area the purifier is working in right now is well over the 350 sq. ft recommended for this unit. After 24 hours, the air in our home seems much cleaner. We have major dust issues due to living on a non-paved road, having tons of carpeting \and heavy curtains throughout the house, and cotton fields all around us. Generally, after I dust, there is a fine layer of dust on all surfaces again by the next day. I dusted yesterday right after turning this purifier on. Today there is a minimal amount of dust to be seen on my tables. Huge improvement!! So yes, after one day, I'm pretty happy with this purifier. Here's hoping this unit lasts a long, long time! =)
