I bought this from HomeDepot for $240. I bought this over their smaller $120 model because this has UV light cleaner + also eliminates Fungi, certain bacteria and certain viruses.The unit is very quiet and has nice features like LCD lit display that shuts off on its own so it doesn't bother you at night, oscillation with a very wide range (about 170 degrees ) which is enough to cover all areas in a room, a timer that can run up to 15 hours I think, 12 levels of cleaning power and an ionizer.
It has 2 reusable HEPA Filters in it (type C) and a couple of washable filters that you can clean every 2-3 months with water. The HEPA filter can be vacuumed and reused. Or you can toss it and buy a new one for $24 from HomeDepot (or cheaper on Amazon).
The unit does send nice cool and fresh air and the air quality does feel better.
My family member would rub their eye when they entered the bedroom upstairs. I think it may be because of either mold spores or general allergies. We just got the roof replaced and getting mold remediation done next week, so we knew we had to keep the air clean. Now, after the unit is on, they no longer rub their eyes or eyes water. This tells us that the unit is indeed cleaning the air. We can do an air quality test but thats ok. The unit is rated for medium-large rooms and recirculates air about 5x times every 12 hours or so which means the air is getting filtered/purified.
Overall, we're happy with the purchase.
