BlueAir 450E SmokeStop Air Purifier

We have an issue where our neighbor smokes and we can smell the smoke in our bedroom (apartment living). Looked at numerous reviews on air purifiers and finally decided on this one. I also looked at IQAir (too expensive, probably more than what we actually needed in terms of room size) and a few other brands rated highly on various websites, but ultimate picked this one since it was less offensive looking and I liked the auto sensing features.

Pros:

Has helped immensely with the smoke smell in our bedroom (~200 sq ft)

Less ugly than other air purifiers, although still looks like a giant computer tower

Quiet on setting 1 (like a computer humming softly), relatively quiet on setting 2, and setting 3 is way too loud for sleeping

Design allows you to place pretty much against wall instead of having this large obtrusive thing in the middle of the room.

Cons:

It's not small, I'm kind of glad we didn't get the 500 or 600 series even though they are only a few inches bigger in a couple dimension.

A little pricey compared to some other alternatives, but I tend to go for the peace of mind of better reviewed products
