Product Description

BIONAIRE BAP825 -- This sleek, ultra-modern device sits very quietly anywhere in any home or office room, making life a shade more pleasant and healthy. For allergy sufferers especially, the BAP825 is an essential appliance. 3 speed settings Carbon odor reducing filter

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

• Unsure
  Not so sure if this actually is making a difference, but I don't have anything to add to the contrary. It did arrive a little later than expected but overall we are satisfied. I'm a bit concerned with how costly the replacement filters are but will wait to see how long it takes before we have to change them out. ...more info
• Buyer beware
  It's noisy when it oscillates, and the fan stopped blowing after less than 2 years of use (it still has power, still turns and ionizes, but...)
  Much too expensive for this poor quality....more info
• works well
  The unit significantly reduced dust and dander in the room. The first filter lasted about three months, which is good considering the amount of crud that it had to filter from the air. The noise level is acceptable. It's not silent, but it's not like a hair dryer either. I keep it on a medium setting with the oscillator on, and the noise level is comparable to a desk fan. Overall, I wish I had bought it sooner, as my husbands allergies are greatly improved while he sleeps at night, thanks to this air cleaner.
  
  Also, one thing to remember with the ionizing units like Sharper Image or Oreck, is that they create ozone as a byproduct of ionization. Ozone buildup in a room can be toxic. Additionally, they are silent because there is no fan. Having no fan means the air doesn't get circulated, so the air immediately surrounding the unit is clean, but the rest of the room is not....more info
• Read the instructions and you'll love it
  This air cleaner works great as long as you read and follow the instructions when initially setting it up (as in, make sure you remove the plastic from the air filters before trying to use it).
  
  I have terrible allergies. I've had to go to the ER more than once because of them. I was breathing much easier the very day my Bionaire came, though. My only issue is that it isn't quite as quiet as I was led to believe, but it isn't too noisy on the low setting. Besides, I'd rather have a little extra white noise in the background than keep wheezing.
  
  For the price, I think this unit would be hard to beat....more info
• I don't think most buyers know about this...
  I share an older apartment with a somewhat hygienically challenged roomate that smokes and six healthy, but kind of smelly gerbils. We bought this air purifier over Christmas for our apartment. The machine works wonders: dust, dander, pet odour, smoke--everything that's been killing my allergies is eliminated with this little box. The sound's kinda obvious, but I don't mind it considering how effective the machine is.
  
  However, IT IS IMPERATIVE that you remove the factory tape on the back vent and take the shrink wrap from around the filters. I noticed that several of the previous reviews reported the inevitable problem of not releasing the filters from their plastic cage. I imagine that the motors would wear away over time with the resistance the shrink wrap made; also, the air would not be able to pass except through the right and left chambers. In short, it would be a ghastly mess.
