bit-tech Shopping: 3M Company FAP02RS Filtrete Ultra Air Purifier

• Filter Change Indicator
• HEPA Filter

Rating: 8

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Gets the job done for small room, HEPA and bought it cheap.

Weaknesses: Noisy on medium and high setting and cost of filter replacement.

Summary: I have 3 dogs and could always smell a slight odor and is especially bad during warm and hot days. Once I started using the 3M unit, I can truly say the smell is gone or, at least much less than before. Of course, I use this unit for my bedroom since its rated for only 150 sq ft. My wife's asthma symptoms are much less now than before. The only negatives I can see are the noise is loud, to me anyways, when it is set to High and the filters are quite expensive after some result.

Rating: 8

Time with product: 7 Days

Strengths: Great unit, runs quietly, breathing seems cleaner.

Weaknesses: Hard to find/ costly filters (using a dustbuster on the filter helps improve life).

Summary: My wife and I both suffer from serious allergies and we have a dog who produces lots of dander. We have a plasma pure air purifier, but prefer this unit over that one.

Rating: 8

Time with product: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Nice design with upward airflow.Fairly quiet.Uniquie led switch.

Weaknesses: Cost for both the air purifier and filter.Difficulty in finding the filter at local merchants.

Summary: This is a very nice air purifier and uniquie in which the air flow is directed upward so as not to disturb dust on the grond. Unit is fairly quiet in low/med setting but is a bit louder in high. Filter is very easy to replace along with indicator to let you know when to change it. The cost of the filter is quiet high at approx $20 each when this purifier is currently being clearanced between $40-$50.
