Zojirushi PALTC10 Ultra Slim Air Purifier

The previous reviewer apparently did not read the instruction manual. The Zoji does have a rapid mode that goes like gangbusters and then ramps down. But it also has other modes that stay on continuously for 36 hours. We are very happy with this machine, and would buy another.

Does the job. Air intake through the front grill face passes through HEPA and then a carbon filter and finally vents out the top. quiet mode is noiseless. Compact. Dimension is basically that of a 25" square lcd computer monitor. I don't have allergies or pets, so I don't know if it powerful enough in quiet mode - air vent feels like I'm gently blowing. In regular mode you can hear the fan and really feel the air blowing out the top. Company is Japanese, hardware made in China.

Very quiet on low setting yet it still blows lots of air. High setting is a tornado of air but quite loud. Low is where it's at though, so you can have the air continuously filtered all day and night. It's not only quiet at low setting but there's no whine or high freq sounds. As I'm really sensitive to noise, I hesitated purchasing this unit at first since I heard a lot of other air cleaners in this price range be noisy. However, it is indeed very quiet! Physically the unit is about the size of a 19" LCD monitor so it takes up very little depth and could even be wall mounted if you desired! I put this unit in a room next to the cat liter box. Needless to say, the odor relief was welcomed and rapidly realized. Cat's not afraid of it being on since it's so quiet, doesn't bug her at all.
