Customer Reviews:
  • Great Product, but...
    I own a related model of Hunter PermaLife air filtration system, the 30755. These are really great machines, and they do a truly good job of cleaning the air. The pre-filters aren't costly either.

    The problem is with the "permanent filters". While you CAN vacuum a bit of the particulate off of the main filter, most of it stays inside. As a result, after 1-2 years, the main filter is filthy and can no longer clean the air adequately. There is a lot of cigarette smoking in my house - I noticed near the end of the filter's life span that the air it was shooting out the top stank like cigarette tar.

    Now, the machine actually does come with a disclaimer that you need to change the "perma-filter" when it finally wears out, but here is the real issue... Hunter no longer supports PermaLife machines. They don't sell the machines, and they do not sell replacement permanent filters.

    This is why I'm on Amazon looking for a new filtration system. Do yourself a favor - get a purifier that has replaceable filters....more info
  • Hunter Model 30547
    I recently bought the Hunter PermaLife Air Purifier Model #30547. I'm truly amazed at its performance so far. I had reviewed many purifiers during a 2 week period, mainly Hunter and Honeywell, and decided on this model. Even though it's for a small to medium room, I went for a bigger model because I do smoke a lot. Even after the first 1/2 hr of operation, I noticed a much improved air quality in the room. It's very quiet in low (hardly notice it), a little noisier on medium, and just a bit noisier on high. Compare that to a window unit a/c. I have other Hunter products for a few years now,and the quality and reliability are superb with all of them. Would definitely recommend this product highly....more info
  • Very Impressed
    Hunter products have always been our choice in ceiling fans and when we needed an air purifier we picked the PermaLife 30546. I was skeptical at first that a machine could improve my wife's allergy symptoms but we were at the point where we were willing to try anything. Running the machine mostly at night in our bedroom not only removed most of the allergens from the air, it also made the air seem fresher and smell cleaner. It's been running off and on now for several months and I just recently replaced the charcoal prefilter. And that filter was a mess. I couldn't believe the crap that the filter caught floating around in the air we breath. 'Though the prefilter was gray with grunge, the permafilter still looked fairly clean. I would recommend periodic examinations of the grill as one may need to vacuum off the dust that accumulates there. This is a great machine for any room in the house. My wife's allergy symptoms have improved and I'm no longer skeptical....more info
  • Great for large rooms
    I was surprised at how powerful an air purifer this was .I had intially bought this to use in our average sized bedroom but decided it was actually powerful enough to use for the larger living space. I then went and bought a smaller version of this product for the bedroom. I also like to ionizer feature which you can use when you need it. ...more info

    Hunter 30546 PermaLife Three-Speed, Large-Room Air Purifier
    I never smoked in my life and was recently diagnosed with COPD. I have really had problems with breathing etc. and have had an ionic purifier that did nothing to help my problem. I had a different hepa pufifier that made so much noise, even though it was suppose to be quiet, that I couldn't use it when anything else like the tv or radio was on or had company.We couldn't hear each other talking or have a conversation without shouting at each other. I purchased the hunter permalife filter and am grateful I did. It really is very quiet. It has three speeds and even the highest speed is quiet. (the equivelant of a fan on high.) The first two speeds are so quiet you really don't even notice it. I can play music quietly, watch tv at normal volume settings and have a quiet conversation. It also does a wonderful job cleaning the air. It improved my ability to breath at lease 90%. It is worth every penny and more. It is a 150% better than the ionic purifier that cost me a fortune and didn't work nearly as well and the hepa that made so much noise you couldn't hear anything else and did not come close to purifying the air as well as the permalife from Hunter. One more thing that made this so good is that the clean air is release from the top of the unit upward so it does not blow directly at you. The best purchase I have made would buy another without any hesitation. Nancy...more info
