Product Description

From Bionaire, this air purifier, with its three speeds, oscillates to improve the air circulation in your room, and with its quiet motor, is hardly detectible when running. The Bonaire air purifier is AHAM certified to deliver clean air to rooms up to 180-square feet (12 x 15-ft.) It has a HEPA type filtration system that's efficient at removing airborne particles such as pollen, dander, household dust, smoke and mold spores. An independent electronic ionizer assists in particle removal. There's even a filter change indicator that keeps track of the HEPA and carbon filter usage. The air purifier's slim, stylish tower takes up minimal floor space. A remote control comes with it so you can turn it on and off without having to walk across the room.

Tall and thin, this air cleaner fits in the corner of a room, and has a modern design that complements most contemporary offices or homes. The purifier covers an area of 180 square feet (equivalent to a 12-by-15-foot room), and operates so quietly it’s not immediately noticeable to guests. For those prone to allergies, this air cleaner has a high-efficiency HEPA filter that removes about 99 percent of airborne particles from the air that are 2 microns or larger in size--such as dust, pollen, and smoke. An independent ionizer further helps remove particles, while a carbon filter reduces household odors. A built-in oscillator distributes air evenly through the room, and improves air circulation. An alert light lets you know when filters need to be changed. Compact controls on the top of the air purifier, and on the included remote control host three speed settings. --Cristina Vaamonde

• Horrible! Broke after ONE WEEK!
  I bought this just one week ago. It barely worked in the first place, my room is an EXTRMELY tiny room, so I figured that a unit this size would work very well. Wrong. I have a pet mouse in here, and it still smelled even with the unit running 24/7. My allergies weren't any better after using this unit either. Then, after just one week of working (or lack there of), the motor went out! It quit blowing air, and then all it did was sit there and make a loud humming sound. I called where I got it from and they said I could send it back. I'll send it back alright, and but I will NOT be getting another one. I'll go with another brand....more info
• Unit works well, but has it's problems.
  I originally purchased my first BAP825-U from Best Buy. About 3 weeks later I had to exchange it as the oscillating motor started to make a very loud clicking sound and stopped working. The unit that replaced it worked extremely well for the past 5 months. Just recently the oscillating motor on this unit stopped working as well. The filtration is functioning just fine, however it is much more effective when the oscillating feature is working. I smoke, and started to notice the smell of smoke more in my home recently. I checked the filters and they were in dire need of replacement, however the filter change indicator light never came on. Overall, I've been very happy with this unit up until now. In my opinion, the placement of the oscillating motor is just poor engineering, and without it the unit is less effective. If you do purchase, be sure to send in your warranty card to Bionaire, which I'm currently kicking myself for not doing.......more info
• "Quiet Operation"??? SURE...
  I got this unit from Best buy yesterday, so don't look at this as a long-term usage review. It seems like a nice enough unit, but I chose it over the others at best Buy because I read on the box that "advanced motor and fan blade design provide for quiet operation on any speed". Um, they must have hearing impaired people testing these out in the factory, because I can't get truly "quiet operation" on any speed other than low.
  
  I was amazed when I turned it on and could no longer hear the sound on the videogame I was playing at the time. It was on the high setting, so I switched it to the lowest setting. It was much better, but then it's also doing less for me. When on the ghigh setting, this thing sounds like you're running five microwaves at once. I expected nearly SILENT operation...perhaps even "on any speed"? This unit did not deliver what it advertised.
  
  Overall, it's a good product, but they should not advertise "quiet operation on any speed". That's a flat-out lie!

• It worked for my son!
  My 4 yr old son has terrible dust mite allergies. He was ssooo congested every night and could not sleep well (he slept w/ his mouth open & snored). We tried everything suggested by the allergist: I dusted, I vacuumed, I washed bed sheets/blankets, took out the stuffed animals, used the right pillow covers and mattress covers. We tried OTC allergy medications and prescription medications. THEN we purchased this air filter for his room. Amazing ... he sleeps through the night peacefully, nasal passages clear. I'd give this air cleaner 5 stars except for the fact that there is a slight odor in his room from it (probably just because its new ... its that kind of smell) and it does tend to warm his room up slightly w/ it running all night long, so I keep our a/c turned down a bit more at night now. But for the price, I'd recommend it to anyone suffering from allergies to give it a try....more info
• Not sure how this one works??
  I bought an 825U, for my home office. (I also own two of the BAP-1175 units, which I LOVE.) The 825 looks very sleek, and fits perfectly where I need it to go. But here's my concern with it: the room air is drawn in the back, and clean air is blown out the front -- which seems to me that the unit would be blowing the room air away from itself, effectively keeping most of the room air from being drawn into the filter. (??) The natural spot for this tower design is in a corner, or next to a desk or bookshelf. This puts the intake against the wall, where it doesn't seem to me that it could do very much intaking. Especially if the fans are blowing all the air away from the unit. I called Bionaire, and while they are consistently friendly and helpful, the only suggestion they could give was to place the unit more toward the center of a room. Obviously, that's rarely an option for most people. Maybe I'm thinking too much about all this, but it's something I'd love to get more information on. For now, I returned the 825, and got a second 1175. It takes up more space than the tower, but is a more effective purifying unit in my consumer-level opinion.

  If anyone has thoughts or knowledge on this, please post!...more info
