I'll admit I'm a bit of skeptic about air purifiers but when my Midwest winter allergies seemed worse than usual (sneezing, runny nose) even with antihistamines this winter, I thought I'd give this model a try given overall it had good reviews and it had the ability to turn off all the lights at night which was an essential feature for me. I have 2 cats whom I love dearly but even if they are the source of some of my allergies, not having them around is NOT an option! Set-up was easy, just unbox, remove the filter to take off plastic bag it comes in, reinsert filter you're good to go.The night mode is whisper quiet which is great for sleeping but I wonder just how much filtration it can do at such a low speed. Fan speed 1 is a nice white noise sound if you ever need that. 2 sounds like a loud fan to me 3, well, a really loud fan--I can't see me ever using this speed altho if I needed to clear heavy smells, it sounds like it might do that quickly.One problem for me which I would have with any air purifier is that I live in an old house my bedroom is the coldest in the winter ( hottest in the summer) as it's at the v end of the vent runs. So, on cold nights, it's chilly running the air purifier which essentially is running a fan that pushes already cold air around. I've almost consider running a space heater for awhile when the purifier is set at higher speeds--brrr! But, it will prob be a nice addition to my ceiling fan in the summer.I do think my allergy symptoms improved some after I started using this in my bedroom at night. It seems like just a low dose of antihistamines is all I need now to control my symptoms but I've started to get small nosebleeds so I'm wondering if running it all night is drying out the bedroom air too much (I have a whole house humidifier on the furnace) even though I run it on night mode. I may start running it during the day instead for an experiment.It does seem to help odor control altho that is not much of an issue as the cats' litter boxes are not that close to my bedroom.Seems like a quality product. Controls easy to use as mentioned, being able to turn off all the LED lights is fantastic. Does it work? I think so but I don't honestly know--I've been using it about a month the filter has collected some visible material which is a relief as they are expensive to replace. I'd prefer a washable filter.
