   Best home filter I’ve ever purchased. 6 years strong!
   This air purifier works great, I bought it in 2016 and it’s now 2022, that’s 6 years of nearly always on use! Seriously, I’ve only unplugged it for like a month or 2 total in its life. Filters aren’t too badly priced and they do seem to work very well. (there are 3rd party filter packs that work well too!)Very quiet for the first 3 settings and the highest setting is loud but wow it moves air like no other! The Auto and Auto plus work very well, changing speed when needed. Auto plus just uses 1 level higher than standard auto for a little extra power.Great for someone who is a smoker or has asthma or other breathing conditions, keeps basements smelling nice. And really helps if you have , cats, dogs, other animals.There is virtually no dust in my room with the filter, it really does a great job of capturing it. Every other week I remove the filter and vacuum the charcoal pre-filter to remove the pet hair/dust, this really helps keep the machine running well.I have taken this air purifier apart for a deep cleaning but it wasn’t too bad inside, the hardest place to clean is the space right in front of the filter intake, it’s hard to get anything in there to clean so it just collects dust, that’s why I opened it to clean it. Opening it is not too hard if your handy, but I’d wait until the warranty runs out just in case.No issues to report either, it has just always worked, which is impressive.I really do recommend this product, the price is well justified.

   WONDERFUL if you don’t mind light! UPDATE after 4 years…
   * OVERALL: This makes the room smell reminiscent of a health facility because it makes the air so clean and has noticeably improved the number of sinus infections I get.* Noise: it can get loud on level 4+ but that is because it’s taking in and pressing out a lot of air. At 2 or below, it’s quiet enough to watch tv alongside and still be able to hear. At level 3, you could get by with turning the tv up slightly. For conversation in the room, fan speed 3+ is a no go.* The Ionizer: The ionizer can be turned off by holding down the bottom blue button with the star on it, which I always keep turned off. Since the mere presence of an ionizer and plasma tech can release ozone even when not in use, I wish I could remove it. Ozone means particles are larger, heavier, and stick to the insides of your lungs more easily. This causes lung irritation and keeps irritants within the lungs more securely and for longer periods of times. You generally don’t want to breathe ozone in you have no respiratory issues, and if you have lung sensitivity, allergies, asthma, COPD, etc., you’re really going to want to avoid it entirely.* Size: The unit is big, about 2.5′ tall, and the air intake is on the sides.* LIGHT ISSUE: I wish the lights that illuminated the buttons could be turned off at night, as the light keeps me awake (blue light). I’ve resorted to covering it with some fabric, which covers the import and export vent slightly. AERAMAX, PLEASE provide an option to turn off all the lights. The light shines from the buttons, and also shines out the sides of the device through the intake vents in a darkened room. Any light disrupts melatonin production, and blue light is the worst suspect. After over a year of 24/7 use, I’m buying another brand of air purifier just to alleviate this issue of fighting with the light emanating from the machine.* Weight: Heavy. This is not something you’re going to want to move from room to room. It has a handle for carrying it if needed, but you’re going to want to leave it where you left it. Since it’s wide and narrow and tall, and thus tippy, you’re not going to want to attach wheels or place it on a wheeling base to combat the weight of moving it.* Filters: The carbon filters appear to need replacing twice as often as the HEPA filters.* Aesthetics: I would have appreciated the black areas of the unit being white, to lend a more sleek and modern vibe, as it looks more like a 1990’s space capsule with it’s shape and contrasting black and white. Something about Nintendo comes to mind, and ET.* Structural Design: I love that the vent that blows the clean air is at the top, and can be tilted and directed where you want it. You can aim it to blow right at your face if you have a sinus headache and/or breath clean air while you work on the computer or watch TV.* Longevity/Quality: 100%. I have used this device 24/7 at fan speed 3 for over a year and it’s still going strong. It’s gone through 3 HEPA filter changes, and 4 carbon filter changes, not always replaced on time ;)UPDATE:After 4 years and 4 months of 24/7 use on fan speed 3, this air purifier LIVES. It has no issues whatsoever and works perfectly. A+ for quality! I resorted to covering the lights with black electrical tape. This means that every time I move it to another room and turn it on again, I have to lift the tape at the bottom and press the ionizing light to turn off the ionizer, then press the tape back down while trying not to trigger the other buttons. The light from the other lit buttons is slightly visible from the sides where the intake vents are located. I have no complaints about this item except for the lights. It could be quieter as well, if I’m being particular, but the required CFM for an air purifier to do well really requires that it moves a lot of air, which makes noise.

   Super Quiet – Keeps Dog smell Out of My House
   I bought two of these Fellowes AeraMax 200 Air Purifiers in 2015 when we got our second dog and I could smell dog when I entered my home. Blech. Also, with the addition of a second dog, my dog allergies really ramped up. Our living room is large, almost 500 sq ft, and I put one of these at each end of the room. The air quality (smell) improved immediately, and my eyes weren’t as itchy as they had been before.Then last year, we had the bathrooms redone. No matter how careful the workers were, there was drywall dust in my room. And no matter how much I dusted and vacuumed, I could still smell the drywall dust. So I grabbed one of the AeraMax filters out of the living room and put it in my bedroom for a few days. Its little red dial let me know it was sucking the yuck out of my bedroom. In those few days I discovered I was waking up less congested and my eyes were clearer. Plus, on the third speed setting, it made better white noise than the fan I always used. That air purifier never left my bedroom! In fact, I bought its big brother, the AeraMax 300, to replace it in the living room.Pros- It has an automatic setting, as well as four speeds. I prefer to keep it on the second level constantly. It’s super quiet on the lowest speed – you don’t even know it’s running. It sounds like a wind tunnel on the highest setting.- The carbon and the hepa filters are super easy to change.- The sleek design doesn’t take up much floor space, and it’s attractive.Cons- The hepa filters are pricey. I change them twice a year, because of the dogs, but its only recommended to be replaced once a year. (I put an alert on my phone to remind me to change the filters.)Since I bought another one almost five years after the purchase of my first two, I guess you’d say I definitely recommend this product.

   Me encantó ;, ya me es costumbre usarlo los dias que batalló para quedarme dormido ademas de que no hace ruido en el nivel 1, tiene buen diseño, despues de meses de usarlo lo recomiendo, el consumo de energia es bajo y no impacta a tu recibo de luz,

   Me encanta, tiene un sensor que regula la intensidad del filtrado en relación a los patógenos que detecta en el aire. No es muy ruidoso en comparación a otros filtros que he tenido, especialmente en las configuraciones de intensidad baja.

   Realmente no le veo que funcione mucho, es como puro marketing estos productos , es un ventilador por dentro con un filtro “especial” que saca aire.
