Customer Review: Novelist Loves It
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I just replaced the HEPA filter in my unit for the first time (after almost a year of use) and figured I'd write a review. I'm a writer working out of my home and, between sleeping and working, spend a lot of time indoors! I'm so happy with this product that I bought a second one for my writing area. Here's the rundown, negatives first:
Light panel is crazy bright, too bright at nighttime for sleeping. You'll probably want to cover it with something. Also, whenever you change a setting such as fan speed, the ionizer automatically comes back on. No biggie, you'll just have to press the button on the remote to turn it back off. Lastly, you will have some maintenance every few months (vacuum air sensors, vacuum filter, rinse and soak charcoal filter). But I've never had an air filter that didn't require some sort of maintenance. And this product's benefits FAR outweigh the negatives.
Air smells fresher and cleaner, and my allergy/sinus problems are nearly eliminated. Operation is quiet, and if you put it on night mode for sleeping, you can't hear it at all. Overall design is large, but sleek and it fits nicely against a wall. If you're disappointed in other products, give this one a try. After a year of use, I'd STILL highly recommend it to anyone. T.

Customer Review: Excellent Air Purifier - We Own TWO of them Now......
Summary: 5 Stars
We ordered this item this year due to the illness in our home that would not leave. I have 3 kids and they just keep carrying germs back home from school....we all got tired of being sick.
Step 1 - Humidify.
Step 2 - CLEAN the air.
Step 3 - Sleep Peacefully.
The item arrived promptly and setup was a breeze. The documentation was clear and concise and thus removing/installing filters and covers was a breeze. We were up and running in less then 10 minutes.
We have been using it for about 2 months.more or less...in the AUTO mode setting. The unit runs silently 99% of the time...unless it detects dust and or a odor that it feels it must clean....whamo TURBO....
We cook spicy food and sometimes the smell can be overbearing...if not irritating. This thing really fires up when it detects anything out of the norm in the air.
When the heat kicks on and the dust is circulating...the Rabbit hops.
Quick addition 02/20/09: We had family over and moved the unit in the family room so that it would keep the air feeling clean and fresh.... While you cant really hide the great aromas of a family dinner......you can get rid of the musty smells. The rabbit touched turbo once or twice...but it didnt go crazy when it smelled ham or turkey. :-)
Customer Review: Excellent investment and a great product!

I bought this product primarily for easing up my allergies. I have used this product for a month now and I am happy to report that I am not disappointed. Not only that this product works well to reduce allergens in the air but it's also capable of removing/minimizing odor (I cook a lot and when it's turned on in the kitchen, it does not take long before the cooking smell disappears and makes the house smelling clean again. I like the timer feature very well and I can set it to run in hourly increments (1, 2, or 3 hours) using a small handy remote that stores in a slot on top of the unit. Besides using the remote control to operate the unit, you can also use the button (one and only one that toggles through all the functions of the machine) located in front of the unit. So if you lose the remote, you're not out of luck being unable to operate the machine. The remote can be stored in an easy to access slot located on tope of the unit so you will never ever have to misplace it. The unit is also reasonably quiet and the physical appearance is well designed. While it claims that the filters are washable, I have not tried this just yet but will definitely do so when it's due. I highly recommend this product to anyone who's looking to buy an air purifier that does what it promises and is priced about right.Customer Review: You get what you pay for

If you're reading this you're likely doing what I did which is to do a lot of research before purchasing an air purifier. I looked at a number of options, including less expensive air cleaners but I found that if you want to "clean" the air you need to buy an air cleaner with a fan. While fans can be noisy, they work. Sharper image's ionic breeze, without a fan, will collect dust. A table cloth collects dust. The latter will not purify the air so don't fall into the trap thinking the ionic breeze will. I also recommend staying away from any purifier that produces ozone which causes some people to have negative side effects. I really was impressed with this company and spent a lot of time on their website talking to their customer service representatives through an instant message program. They are extremely fast to help and provide good feedback. I've had mine now for two weeks and keep it at a speed level 2 which is audible, but still soft enough to tolerate. The fan is deep within the unit so there is no worry if you have pets. A definite buy. If you want an air purifier you need a unit with an HEPA filter and this price is hard to beat for the quality.Customer Review: Amazingly functional !
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a smoker & my wife objected to the smoke odor in my "den". My "den" is actually the finished half of the basement (approximately 400 sq ft). I was using an Oreck air purifier which really did nothing & required frequent cleaning. My solution was the Rabbit Air 582-A. This unit really does not cost much more than the Oreck & does an amazing job of removing the smoke odors.
I leave the unit set on Auto & as soon as I light a cigarette, the Rabbit Air kicks on & goes to work removing particles & odor. The Rabbit Air is quiet, even with the highest fan speed. It is inaudible when on standby, but it is still cleaning the air. The unit uses less electricity than a night light when on standby. My wife no longer complains about smoke odors in the "den".
I am extremely pleased with the unit, especially since the filters are easy to access for cleaning. I was surprised at the volume of air which is moved with so little noise. I mounted mine about 1/2 way up the wall on a shelf rather than let it remain on the floor. The air intake is in the center of the front panel & also around the edges of the front panel.
A great buy !
