Hunter 30027 HEPAtech Air Purifier and Ionizer, White

I have used my air purifier for about three months and love it. I have used and researched many air purifying technologies and have found the only two safe and effective methods to be HEPA and or UV Light units. As previously stated by others in this review the unit is noisy on high setting. However, it has a soothing white noise sound on medium and low. In one of the reviews it was mentioned that this unit did not produce a smell like the Sharper Image products. The smell that they were talking about is actually ozone which is a harmful pollutant and is believed to cause lung problems and even increase chances of lung cancer. That is something not to be taken lightly. The Hunter does not produce that awful stuff.

I like my Hunter Air Purifier. It cleans the air and makes my room smell good. I do agree that on high it is noisy but on low and medium mine is quiet. On high too, the air can smell unusual so I only use the high setting when I vacuum or on high smog days otherwise I keep it on low or medium. I think it is a good value for the price.

It's not exactly "whisper-quiet"; we located it in the study, off the master bedroom, and it's very loud. After running for about a month, the lowest fan setting broke and we were forced to run it on "medium" which is even louder. Even though it has an ionizer, it never smelled like our Sharper Image ionizers do. I don't think it was doing anything!
