Comment: Ok, my original review was that I mistakenly thought that the box arrived without a power cord or instructions. Because it's such a large box, I accidentally tossed the bag containing these things to the side and missed them (yes, I'm embarrassed, but it happens!).
The unit is plugged in and humming on the Max Airflow setting...Still quiet...Not 10 minutes and I already notice the air is clearing up :)
Comment: The title pretty much sums it up... I took it out of the box, plugged it in, switched it on and don't really think about it anymore.
I live on a busy street and the air inside the house was very dusty.
With this thing running it is substantially cleaner ....
even when sunlight streams in I cannot see any dust in the air.
At highest setting it is audible but not objectionable. I keep it at max minus one and don't hear it at all.
It showed up with a small dent in the side, which I should have complained about but didn't.
The shipping package could have been better.

Summary: Quiet Enery Efficient and it Works! 2010-04-08
Comment: I should start with the fact that everyone in our household has allergies, even the dog I think, but that had not been confirmed. Currently we have the Blueair units in all the bedrooms and family room. The best thing about Blueair units is they work! We really feel a difference. Before getting Blueair my wife was not able to sleep thru the night. She would get congested and her throat would get dry so she kept waking up to drink water. Whatever was giving her trouble is now gone from the air and she is finally able to get a good nights sleep.
Outside the fact that this unit cleans the air, I do also like that it is steel construction ( I did a lot of research and that is hard to find), its quiet!!!, and its energy efficient. As for warranty, the warranty card says mail in for free 5 year warranty.

Summary: Misleading Sales Practice by Blueair 2010-03-15
Comment: There is NO 10 year warranty. It says on the box it does have a 10 year warranty but the warranty booklet that comes within the box says the warranty is for one year only. The product was MADE IN CHINA.
Beware.

Comment: Every morning I woke up with my eyes swollen almost shut due to allergies since I got the Blueair 403 HepaSilent air purification system, my eyes are no longer swollen. My sinus problems have greatly improved. I am very please with how quiet it is- I can sleep with it on the 2nd level. I would buy this product again.
