Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been running the older version of this air purifier 24 X 7 for over 10 years...maybe 12. It is backed up against a wall in a vaulted-ceiling room between a piano and organ where cats like to play. It takes up very little space and consumes a great deal of dust and hair. The exhaust blows straight up the wall which is perfect for this location. Recently, it began emitting a high-pitch, undulating squeal. I assumed that the sealed bearing on the motor shaft was wearing out. So, I ordered this new Hunter Air Purifier. In the mean time, I placed the old squeaky cleaner on its back and soaked the motor shaft with CRC Heavy Duty silicone spray while turning the shaft with my hand for 5 minutes. That was a month ago and it is still running as smoothly and quietly as new. The new cleaner is still in the box, however, I did test it to make certain that it was in good working order.

Just like printer companies sell their printers at a bargain and then charge a fortune for the ink cartridges, air-cleaner manufacturers employ the same tactics with their disposable filters. Check their prices. OUCH! $30.00 to $60.00. For years I've been using the same pleated, high-efficiency filters that I use in our central heat and air system. I buy them by the case lot(12), online from ACE Hardware for $4.00 each (free shipping to store) and cut them to fit the Hunter Air Purifier. ACE runs frequent sales.
Now, how about the expensive charcoal-pre-filter? Check out the universal replacement pre-filter 38002. They cost about $10.00 each. I have found them in bulk for as low as $8.00 apiece. Cut them to fit. Even the leftover pieces can be easily connected with the enclosed male strips of the hook & loop (Velcro).
Of all the air cleaners running in our home, this Hunter is the least expensive to run 24 X 7 because I can make alternative filters. This is not the case with the large barrel-shaped cleaners and filters that circulate air 360 degrees. When the barrel-shaped air cleaners die, I replace them with these Hunter wall-huggers.
When my back is against the wall, I don't go to the mall. I look for a bargain. That usually begins with Amazon.Com.

Designed for large rooms up to 19 by 21 feet, this air purifier changes the air up to six times per hour and provides a CADR of 260 for smoke, 260 for dust, and 260 for pollen. Its effective three-speed whisper-quiet fan draws air into the unit without excessive noise, and exhausts clean, purified air back into the room from the top of the unit to avoid stirring up settled particles. The purifier also comes equipped with a permanently charged HEPAtech filter that effectively captures 99.97-percent of all airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns in size that pass through the filter. An ionizer with a separate on/off switch distributes negative ions throughout the room to enhance the cleaning process.
For 30-percent better odor reduction, the unit's separate carbon prefilter reduces cooking, tobacco, and pet odors while also capturing larger dust particles, lint, and pet hair from dirty air. Other details include easy-to-use programmable digital LCD controls, and digital LCD filter-change indicators. Even more, the unit's space-saving slim-line styling fits flush against the wall, so it won't encroach on living areas or interfere with household activities. Replacement filters (the 30901 prefilter and 30931 filter) are sold separately. The air purifier measures approximately 17 by 10 by 21 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.
