Alen BreatheSmart - Covers 1100 Sq. Ft.

We recently acquired the newest air purifier made by Alen called the BreatheSmart. It has a number of Smart features that makes it effective and user friendly. In short it is wonderful. We have an open concept home, so it is kept in our living room which also opens into our kitchen and it has done a superb job covering the area which is probably a little over 950 Sq. Ft. The air is noticeably fresher and cleaner, and my wife's stuffy head seems to have been relieved. As an FYI, We also set up an additional Alen Air Purifier (T300) tower in the bedroom. I would definitely recommend getting the new Breathe Smart.

Visually speaking, the Breathe Smart is a super clean modern looking device that does a decent job blending into any decor. It is easy to to set up and the controls are intuitive. Filter changing is about as easy as it gets and anyone can do it. My favorite feature is the air quality monitor that uses simple colored lights (blue=clean, white = so so, red=dirty) to let you know how dirty your air is. If you set it to automatic, it will increase the airflow when it senses that your air is dirty. Once clean, it will turn itself down. It really seems to work. For example, when someone sits on the couch, or when the AC kicks on the unit goes to red. In the morning when I come downstairs the unit has had all night to clean an empty room and it is on blue. I really like knowing when the air has been "cleaned." This takes all the guess work out of when to run the unit and when to turn it up or turn it down. This is really GREAT!

We have owned other cheaper Air purifiers that we have purchased at big box stores, and are glad that we switched to the Alen units. Their machines have a lifetime warrantee and are significantly quieter than the ones we previously owned. Noise can become an issue. Lastly, this air cleaner has a filter change indicator light that tells you when you need to replace the filter cartridge. I do not know how long it will last, but our bedroom unit has been running on and off for more than 6 months now and we are only on bar two which is half way through the filter life, seems reasonable.
