I have used several brands over the years, and Bionare has consistently exceeded my expectations.The BAP1175 is a sturdy, well-designed unit. It also has the benefit of being relatively attractive. The unit is no more out of place in a room than a stereo speaker. Clean lines and intuitive controls and display characterize the unit. The filter changing operation is simple, using a swing-out front panel that contains the pre-filter. The twin HEPA filters are well-built, looking like automotive air filters. Activated carbon pads fit easily over the HEPA filters. The door latch and the latches to release the pre-filter are a bit stubborn, but the hardware is sturdy enough to take the effort needed. Called "Quiet-tech," it lives up to the name. It has four fan speed settings, including "sleep." The top two settings do make a bit of noise, but not unpleasant. They also really move some air.

This review is from: Bionaire BAP1175 Quietech HEPA Air Cleaner (Kitchen) I have had the "Bionaire BAP1175 Quietech Hepa Air Cleaner" for over a month now and so far so good. It's a little more expensive than some of the others I checked out, but after reading over all the reviews and weighing the features, I went with this one. I'm glad I did!Everything it claims to do on the product page... it does! It was easy to set up, works on four different speeds, and makes a noticable difference in the air. The Quietech system works with 3 separate filters. The first, a "pre-filter" gets the larger particles before they pass through the the filtration system. This one can be removed and washed(or replaced if you prefer). Next is a carbon filter(very easy to install and remove) that traps odors. This works great. I have my 125 lb. Lab in the house for the summer because it is so hot here in California, and with the house closed up...you KNOW he is in the house..but the carbon filter does a good job of removing the dog smell. It also...Read more 21 of 24 people found the following review helpful: By "isaballe" (Poulsbo, WA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Bionaire BAP1175 Quietech HEPA Air Cleaner (Kitchen) I currently own a Honeywell cleaner that I paid over $200 for. I priced both the Honeywell pre-filter and carbon filter last week and it was cheaper to buy an entire new air cleaner. A $30 filter is an excellent bargain!! The cleaner is quiet on the sleep setting and when on high you can feel the breeze through the room. Great air cleaner!! Recommend it highly!! |
