Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We've had this air purifier for a week now, and it has been amazing. The attached pictures are all of the item we bought: TaoTronics HEPA Air Purifiers for Home, Allergies Smoke Pollen Pets, Home Air Cleaner Filtration System, Odors Dust, Sleep Mode Timer Auto Mode. Pros: It shipped exceptionally well packed, and setup was very simple, be sure to open the filter compartment and remove the plastic cover from filter starting up the machine! (See Pictures). It has an adjustable fan speed from "Darn near silent" all the way up to what my son calls "Comfortable White Noise for sleeping" at full "turbo" speed. It is capable of filtering a huge area very quickly, and it has a "true HEPA" fc20-c/d compound filter that is easily removable cleanable or replaceable. Cons: There's a small cover on the back of the unit that isn't labeled and seems to have no visible purpose (in the last couple of pictures), and it would be nice if there were some more descriptive instructions on how the "ION" mode and the sleep time works, but a little bit of trial and error sorted it out for us. In all, I couldn't be happier with this machine! Setup was easy and we had it running in no time. The manual is ok, but would benefit from more information about all the available air cleaning modes. We located the TAO on the floor in our nook, not far from our kitchen, hoping it would eliminate or reduce cooking odors as we don’t have an outside vented range hood. Most of the time we run the unit in auto mode as that work very well and takes care of cooking odors pretty rapidly. Fan speed adjustments are at the top of TAO if you want to change or modify air cleaning time settings. We find the turbo mode way to noisy, but it gets the job done quickly. Sleep mode is so quiet that we often forget to shut the unit down at night. We have not found the ION setting to make a noticeable difference in how the air in our house smells, we will continue to evaluate that setting. Have used the timer function a few time when in the noisy turbo mode and it will then shut off after the set time expires. Overall we are impressed with the performance of the Taotronics Air Purifier. No negatives to report. So far the filter does not show any discoloration and we hope it will last the suggested 3-6 month. Vacuuming the outside of the filter should extend its life some. We can highly recommend this Taotronics Air Purifier if you are looking for a reasonably prices, effective air cleaner.
