Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rabbit Air BioGS (model 582A - covers 780 sq. ft.) High Quality Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier - Low Maintenance - Washable Filters!, Silver w/ Chrome AccentsCustomer Review: SO BEAUTIFUL I WANT TO MARRY IT! Summary: 5 Stars
Since childhood, I have had severe allergies to dust, pollen and mold. Over the decades, I have purchased multitudes of air purifiers. Honeywell (hated it, blew up lots of dust), Hunter (decent, but expensive filters had to be changed often), Biozone (good for removing odors but not dust), Vornado (expensive, hard to find filters, very noisy), Ozone machines (bad to breathe but good to get rid of odors), and many more brands and names that are too numerous to mention. Most of these worked minimally and as the years went by the filters either became difficult to find, or they quit working or the price of the filters added up to the price of a new unit (think Vornado). They were either mildly good at removing dust or they were somewhat effective at removing odors, depending on whether the HEPA had a charcoal prefilter. The charcoal prefilters were expensive to replace too!
After reading hours of reviews (yes, I was determined to do some research before buying yet another purifier - don't think I'm too obsessed, the last units I bought were Hunters about 8 years ago, but now the fan motors are giving out and the HEPA had to be replaced every 4 months - expensive!) I was torn between the Sharp Plasmacluster and the Rabbit BioGP. Oh, I still want a Sharp Plasmacluster, but I had to go ahead and decide how I was going to get maximum benefits from a single cost appliance.
I'm so glad I went with the Rabbit! First I noticed all the positive reviews on this site. The BioGP arrived last week. It's streamlined, durably constructed and the appearance is elegant - at their website they even give you the option of buying different color frontplates if you decide to move it to another room and want it "match" the decor - and the frontplates are reasonably priced.
I was particularly impressed when I assembled the 3 stage filter to notice how the carbon filter is honeycombed - heavy duty - and not these thin, flimsy charcoal prefilters that are so standard in most air purifiers. That means it's really good at odor removal. If you don't believe me, just get one and watch the odor sensor quickly detect an odor of your choice. When in auto mode, the unit will quickly smell it and speed up the fan and you can actually WATCH the sensor indicate the odor has been reduced or eliminated within minutes!
I also like the remote control functions - auto, manual - 4 speeds, and turbo mode, which causes it to run at high speed for 10 minutes before going back to auto mode. I've tested the unit out in different rooms and have watched the sensors come on and over a short period of time indicate they have reduced or eliminated dust or odors. Also impressive is the ability you have to wash or vacuum the prefilter and the charcoal filter - greatly extending their life. Also the HEPA filter probably won't have to be replaced but every 18 months to 3 years - more like 18 months for me because I will run it often. But even then, the HEPA filter doesn't cost nearly as much as other air purifiers charge for their HEPAS.
Another design marvel is how the Rabbit BioGP has this nano-silver prefilter and the charcoal filter is placed on the other side of the HEPA filter. Most air purifiers that have charcoal elements place them before the HEPA. This causes them to have to be replaced frequently. But the BioPG has a separate prefilter from the charcoal filter, and because the charcoal filter is placed after the HEPA, it is free to do what it does best - remove odors - and it doesn't get clogged up with dust, making it last a long, long time compared to units like this that use charcoal prefilters!
And I get the feeling that the Rabbit people really care and support this product. I called with a question which they answered promptly. Overall, I am very, very pleased with this unit.
Description of Rabbit Air BioGS (model 582A - covers 780 sq. ft.) High Quality Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier - Low Maintenance - Washable Filters!, Silver w/ Chrome AccentsThe Rabbit Air BioGS removes a wide variety of allergens and contaminants from the air, including dust, pollens, dander, odors, mold, and chemical vapors. Its HEPA filter traps and destroys a host of common allergens, such as pet dander, dust mites, and pollen. Each filter can last up to three years, based on 12 hours of daily operation, and won't create secondary pollution like conventional HEPA air cleaners. Our Signature HEPA filter traps airborne allergens and contaminants down to 0.3 microns in size 99.97 percent of the time and also includes a medium filter to boost efficiency and increase HEPA filter lifespan. The BioGS features a permanent pre-filter to help eliminate large airborne particles as well as a washable Charcoal Based Activated Carbon Filter for odor and chemical absorption. With its energy efficient design, the BioGS is safe and inexpensive to operate, emitting no ozone and only consuming 67 watts at turbo speed and seven watts at silent speed. The BioGS also features an inverter control and auto air quality monitoring, which means the unit can operate at five different speeds and it won't run at a higher speed than necessary. Ideal for home or small office use, this air purifier covers up to 780 square feet, based on two air changes per hour. It's also completely silent at low speed, and creates a minimum amount of distracting noises.
