Hunter 30714 HEPAtech Small Tower Three Speed Air Purifier with Ionizer

I really enjoy using this air purifier. I find it's easier to breathe and sleep now that I am using this. From what I've read Hunter is great about standing behind their product. The noise level was certainly as expected. It has Turbo mode, which should not be run for extended periods of time (couple of hours) and also day and night. Day has a noise level somewhere in between the hum of my microwave and the hum of my computer. Night is just a bit louder than my computer fan. I actually love the white noise it creates in the background. It's easy to move around for people of average mobility and strength.

I put this in a smelly room to see if it works and the smell went away quickly so despite the previous bad reviews, I am keeping this. The Honeywell 1700 did nothing for more than an hour before I plugged in the Hunter 30714. It definitely cleans the air of smells although the Honeywell ones make more promises e.g. antibacterial. If the low price is due to discontinuation, then I am happy to pay less for something that does the job.

I bought the unit from the gold box because of the price. I didn't expect much, however it works great. The air in my livingroom no longer has pet smells and the dust level is down. The only negative people write about is the noise. Those people are just stupid, it's not very loud, and all air purifiers that work well make nosie.
