Title: So good, I bought a 2nd one for dorm!!
Review: I originally bought one of these air purifiers during the pandemic at a store and it has consistently given us clean, quality and healthy air ever since! I ordered this one here on Amazon through this seller for my son's dormitory room and it is just as EXCELLENT! Also it was a nice surprise that it came with one manufacturer's True-HEPA and carbon outer filter, already in the unit! Which was fantastic because the one I originally purchased at a retail store back in 2020 did not come with one. Yes the manufacturer filters are expensive at about 59 to $64 each, no they should last you a few months depending on the dust and particulate situation of your area where you're using it, but they really are worth it! I've tried off brands and they work okay but not as good as Germguardian. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the one in my son's dorm room, moving was hectic. Also may I mention that it is quiet, unless you turn it on to three but even that, is quite tolerable, especially if you have a television on or a busy home. It's attractive and lightweight as well.

Title: Favorite air cleaner
Review: [PICTURE: it may look like a pointless dark photo, but it shows how dim the On/UV lights are in the dark. Taken from above, front-angle.]Have had various air cleaners ranging from small wall outlet units to several brands/styles of tower designs. This is the biggest and fanciest unit we've had. It can move serious amounts of air, or run very quietly -- we do the latter and bought it since usually large fans can move more air with less noise and better sound tones. Indeed, this is the quietest filter fan we have on low speed (it's right behind us while watching TV and I feel no need to "OCD" turn it off / never notice it) and has no weird tones to it like many of the small-fan tower designs have/develop. The air sucks in all around the nice looking front so you can set it against a wall or corner and have the "correct" side facing into the room. Air vents out the top so it sorta radiates and blends into circulation rather than blowing at you or your stuff.The controls are responsive and easy to understand at a glance, makes a pointless but soft/pleasant noise when buttons are pressed, and my favorite part is you can turn off most of the lights using an included light button. At minimum, you have a single light indicating the unit is running, and a 2nd identical light if the UV bulb is on; both are small, dim, and indirect, not casting a blue spotlight on the ceiling like a lot of cheap consumer devices. I'd probably still tape them if sleeping but most people will probably find them very livable in a bedroom. If not used in a dark space or if you want a (blue... not great for eyes in the dark) night light, it also has an attractive "ring" light that bleeds through a translucent portion of the front plastic -- looks well designed/integrated, premium.The silver/white gloss finish is attractive and unlike the vast sea of shiny black plastic products, does not show fingerprints / dust at all. Does not develop an ugly "micro-scratch" texture either. All of which is to say... It doesn't just look nice the first 5 seconds before you smudge and scratch it getting it out of the box, but still looks brand new after months of use.The filter inside is about 2/3 the size of our AC air intake (a lot of filter...) and has a pre-filter you can vacuum off to extend the life of the expensive main filter. The filter fits snugly. I don't notice much gook collecting around its seams where air leaks by -- a problem on other units we've had. After 4 months running 24/7, the UV light hasn't burned out and the main filter looks good beneath the pre-filter which gets cleaned about every 2 months. Looking at the filter now, we'll probably get a full year out of it or more. I've had towers with finicky UV lights that burn out often and will report back if that ever becomes the case with this unit.The unit is set up next to the condo of a pair of small furry pets, in a house with renovations going all the time... so it has plenty to be extracting and is doing a great job so far. Smells and dust around it are noticeably better. As with all products like this, you may want to research the "ozone" output from the UV light and decide if that's good or bad for where you're placing the unit.Overall, this is my favorite air filter/UV cleaner we have had over the years. Quiet/pleasant, nice looking/looks last, well built, and can move serious amounts of air when you want it to. Though it's wider and surprisingly thick compared to tower designs, it's a much more efficient use of space / more cleaning for the volume than the tower designs -- if you can budget it and physically fit it.

Title: So far so good! Can tell that the air is more fresh with this on
Review: I hesitated in buying one of these for years. Suddenly, I feel like I really want to see the difference if having an air purifier in the house would make any difference, because I start to smell odors in my house even though I let the windows open and have some plug in air fresheners on. Well, first day this arrived, we turned it on max for 2-4 hours, and instantly we can feel that the air is fresher and less odor. We continue to keep this on when we are in the living room, and not only do we feel that the air is fresher, without opening any windows, we feel that it helps circulate the indoor air.The first setting is VERY QUIET, you can barely tell it is even on. Second setting, you can hear some air blowing and third setting is kind of loud. I don't usually turn on the third setting because it is kind of annoying loud fan noise. The second setting would do the job well, it just takes a little time.I love that this device has an UV-C light function so that it can also eliminate germs. I got this when it's on a limited time deal, so I would say this is really value for money, considering it can bring fresh clean air to the room. I haven't studied how much the replacement filters are, but we'll leave that for the future.

Title: Very effective, reliable brand
Review: Very effective during this wildfire season in California. We’ve been dealing with some of the worst smoke I’ve seen in my lifetime, but this sucker really makes a huge difference and is quite powerful. It’s covers a large open concept living and dining room quite well (650 square feet) which is a much bigger area than its even rated for. I already had two smaller units from germguardian used mostly for pet hair and dander in two bedrooms but this is a very robust unit perfect for our main living area in these extraordinarily smoky times. It features a True HEPA filter and powerful motor with excellent filter ratings that are AHAM verified (smoke at 218 which was pretty impressive). Not all purifiers will give you the CADR ratings breakdown or are even independently verified which is why Germguardian is my go to. This was just plug and play as it comes with a filter preinstalled. My main gripe is how pricy the germguardian filter replacements are but you can find many 3rd party filters on Amazon for cheaper if you’re so inclined. Note I purchased this unit at $199 for reference (don’t get gouged!). One final note is that it’s not the quietest purifier, especially on the high setting. If that’s a big concern you might need look elsewhere. I don’t think it’s too loud but it annoys my husband.
