I bought this product after mulling over so many options for True HEPA and H13 filter units. This one, while pricey, is not as expensive as other options ($500 - $900 and beyond). And basing my decision on the majority of positive reviews (on both Amazon and various external sites) on the Hathaspace HSP002 unit, I took a chance.
The reason for me purchasing this item was because I have a child whose allergies are triggered by the slightest things that don't bother the rest of my family. Pet dander (we've got two cats), pollen, dust, and whatnot - it it floats in the air, it'll make him sneeze and cough.
Out of the box, it looks fairly sleek and complements my living room furniture. Sure, it's tall, but I've had a big HEPA device before, and so I'm not bothered by its size. Out of the box, I put in the large H13 filter that it came with, plugged it in and set it to auto so that it starts doing its job. I let it clean the air from morning to evening, and it (at auto), it just runs at the lowest setting. I'm very happy that it's incredibly quiet at this setting as too much noise generated would be a big concern for the family. Even at medium speed, it's fairly muffled. At the highest speed, you'll notice it, but the sound is no louder than my ceiling fan at the fastest speed. Overall, it does a great job cleaning the air without too much noise. Also, I look at the device and it shows to fluctuate between a 6 and a 9 every single day (anything above 50 means you have relatively polluted air inside the house). Low numbers.
After having this for a month, and running daily from morning to the evening, I have to say that simply put, it just works. How can I tell without hiring some microbial experts to sample my air quality? I look at my child and see how he's doing. Since we've had the device, my child's coughing and sneezing has gradually gone away in a matter of a week of the device doing its job. 4 weeks later, my son doesn't show any signs of allergy suffering. Breathing is normal, no reactions when the pets are near him, no issues with pollen (we've got plenty of indoor plants).
I am also aware that the filter has to be replaced every 3-4 months, depending on how often you have it run. I was prepared to shell out the money for the filter (on a recurring basis), so I went to the Hathaspace website and purchased a subscription (quarterly) for them to deliver. $49 per filter (subscription price), for those of you curious.
Overall, I am very pleased and very happy with this purchase. It's made a difference for my son, and that's all that matters to me. If a device does what it's supposed to do (and very effectively at that), then I'd say this purchase was well worth the money and then some.
