Alen Corporation Alen T300 Tower Air Purifier - T300  Product Reviews

"This is a good air filter. I have pretty bad allergies, and when we first moved into this house it had brand new carpet and I would be miserable 5 minutes after walking in the door. I moved my T300 in from my previous apartment, and about a day later came back and had no allergy symptoms whatsoever. PROS: -Cleans extremely well. -Filters last longer than 6 months. -Quiet on lower settings CONS: -Have noticed a problem with the back cover. It takes some work to get the unit to recognize that the back cover is installed. Customer service told me I could adjust the sensor for it but haven't tried yet. -Lamps are ridiculously expensive. Don't last. Don't buy them for sixty bucks! Get the Phillips PL5/UV at bulbman(dot)com for thirteen bucks! Its better and is the exact bulb specs for the T300... -Noisy on "medium" and "high""

"I purchased 2 T300 units. About 6 months after I purchased the units the UV lamps went out. Their customer service was horrible when I was trying to get the UV lamps replaced under warrenty. The units are ok. I couldn't tell a real difference in the air quality. I don't know if they are really worth the price considering the horrible customer service experience."

"After living constantly with waking up to allergy symptoms and all kinds of medicines to address the symptoms, I finally saw an info-commercial for air purifiers and the light bulb went off. I did the research and found that the Alen and IQAir products were the best and cleaned over 95% of contaminants in the air where the info-commercial product only cleaned about 35% of the contaminants. The Alen was best price for feature for my budget with a lifetime warranty so I purchased it. Now my son and I wake up mostly free of any allergy symptoms and the feeling is wonderful!"

"Pros: Item does remove musty smell, dust and other odors from the room. Cons: A little loud in the higher fan Funtion."
