 "Doesn't move as much air as it should" 2010-07-24

Generally nice unit, however there's a Holmes unit which is almost identical except for the control panel.



The Holmes uses the same motor, fan blades and filters, but it tries to direct the air straight out. It is very forceful. This is good, in that it creates airflow around the room, collecting dust to be filtered out.



The Bionaire unit in contrast, does a poor job of directing the air. The air comes out sideways and even backwards, making it easy to be sucked back into the intake immediately without having had a chance to stir up new air to be filtered. Just cycling the same air from intake to out doesn't do much to clean the air overall.

I was lucky enough to grab this at a substantial clearance discount at a local retailer. I like the idea of air filters but am always leary of the replacement filter cost. This unit is supposed to allow you to not have to replace filters, but I will have to see how that actaully works over time. This is because the unit has two of the rectangle shaped filters usually found one at a time in smaller units. The "permanent" part of the filter is that you are supposed to vaccuum it off every so often. I suppose you can also replace them as well as they look to be the standard bionaire filters, but kind of defeats the whole permenant concept.



The unit looks nice, but I found the rear cover that goes over the filters to be ill fitting and actually used some clear packaging tape to hold it down. You cannot see the tape, but still if I had paid the full msrp for the unit I would have been a bit disappointed. Otherwise the fit and finish is good. Air is driven through the unit by two of the cylindrical style fans. It is fairly loud on the high setting, obviuosly less so on the lower ones but you are giving up how much is filtered out of the air at the lower setting. The recomendation on this unit is for rooms of 170 square feet or roughly 13'x13'.



It has 3 fan speed setting, 4 timer settings, an auto feature, a time to clean the filter light, and an ionizer button.

 "For the money, a very nice air purifer" 2010-07-04

Doesn't seem like a lot of people have bought this product. I was considering a similar Honeywell model, and after comparing the boxes of both products at Target I went with the Bionaire. I admit my largest reason for going with the Bionaire was that the feature set was about the same as the Honeywell, but the Bionaire was more attractive. With my air purifier that replaced this one, I tried to hide the unit because it was ugly. This unit is looks good and I do not try to hide it at all. Further, the materials seem to be a better quality then the similar Honeywell models (I am going solely on look and feel).



When looking for an air purifier, I wanted a unit where I didn't have to replace any filters. The unit features two large permanent HEPA filters that every three months you clean by vacuuming the filters. There is a reminder light when it is time to do so. There is three speed settings. The lowest setting is very quiet. The highest setting is quite loud. I can sleep to both the low and medium settings. Not so with the high setting.



There is also a timer so after 2, 4, or 6 hours the unit will shut itself off. Another feature is an automatic setting which is supposed to monitor the quality of air and adjust the settings. I am not sure if the unit really does try to sense anything or just goes through a preset routine. I guess it is the preset routine. FInally, there is an ionizer. Some people say this is bad for the air, some say it is good for the air. I really have no idea what is true. I do know that after a while ionizer air seems dryer, which I do not like. This machine allows you to shut the ionizer off or on to suit whatever your take on the issue might be.



Overall, I am quite pleased with the purchase. There might be better units, but they will likely be 1) uglier (subjective I know), and 2) cost more. For disclosure, I have had the product for only two weeks, but I have ran it constantly taking it through the paces.

Great air purifier. A friend bought this at Target.



Her husband sometimes smokes in the house and she needs something to pull the stink out.



Ion generators are great to add a little extra oxygen to the air.
