5000 Aprilaire Air Cleaner

 (6 customer reviews)

Purchased these for each of my furnaces 2 years ago and have been very pleased. It cleared up the allergens in my house air totally. Previous issues with allergies have disappeared.

The only probleme I have had is that the electronics fails to turn on-which you need for the electrostatic filter to work at its 90% effecincy, otherwise it is only 80%. Appears that the electronics is very susceptible to the filter door being not properly seated, so must be careful when replacing door after a filter change.

Filters are easily procured via internet at $60/for two and they last for a full year
Highly recommend this filter-it works as advertised.

Purchased my Aprilaire Air Cleaner Model 5000 in April of this year with new AC and furnace. First off, this thing is huge, and is more than adequate for filtering the air my house. I am already seeing a difference with less dust in the house. Also has a decent warranty, and I especially like the one-touch control that comes with this unit. Very nice unit, as it's also highly recommended by Consumer Report.

Very happy with this filter system. It really works to clean smoke from the house. Our house has been closed up for about the past month, running the air. Usually, we get enough cool weather to open windows an night... not this year. Running the variable fan on my furnace constantly on very low and as the air kicks in, I can't even tell we've been smoking as we come in from outside. Very Good!

I had turnd off (unpluged) the electrostatic part for a (I'd thought) day... forgot I'd done it and it went a few weeks before the smoke smell forced me to check it. A few days after repluging it in, the house was clean again (no residual smoke signature)! Had it 6 months or so and will probably replace the filter for first time in another month or 2, since I run it constantly this summer.
