 Squeaky noise from BOTH of two that I bought new! June 18, 2010
Jenny Jones (Nome, AK)
I don't know how well these clean the air, I only had them 2 days. I couldn't stand the chirping noise that came from BOTH of them that I bought. It's not very loud, but I had one positioned behind my couch in the living room and one behind my bed (both had ample circulation). I really liked the idea of having them both be so quiet, until about 18 hours into operation, both of them started making this continuous chirpy squeaky noise that was just annoying enough to make me return them. Now I know why there were a dozen of these on clearance at my local appliance mart! If weird squeaky noises don't bother you, or if you're already hard of hearing, these may be the air cleaners for you.
 Oxygen3 for wheezing/dust June 7, 2010
C. Spaeth-Beaudoin (Landers, CA USA)
Bought two Oxygen3's for wheezing from Emphysema.
We live in the high desert of California.
Dust is a daily fact of life, using units in
800 sqft area. We live on a dirt road a
small horse ranch, dust is everywhere.
Turned on both units, as directed, mid day
when they arrived. One in bedroom and one in
living room. Stopped wheezing that afternoon.
Unbelievable. Dusted the house really good next day,
usually dust hides color of furniture in 24 hours.
Barely any to be found. Dog shedding fine hair
even less on furniture.
Haven't wheezed since turning them on.
Auto speed is great for sleep, cooking kicks on the
Turbo mode, hands free. Blue lights make pretty nite lite.
A definite 5 star product. I'd recommend it to everyone
powerful and quiet May 11, 2010
FrostedGreen (Dallas, Texas)
Having owned other brand purifiers, I am a little surprised how well this one works: powerful, light-weight, quiet. Most of all, it is a steal at ~$100. The filter is a little costly, but $50/yr is reasonable.
My allergy symptom has improved, noticeably.
PS: it is an OEM of Winix technology, but with better brand and 2 yr warranty, instead of 1 yr.
I must say I'm impressed! May 6, 2010

The unit is looking good (piano black) and designed very well (I'm stating it having engineering background). It's VERY-VERY quiet and powerful! The reason I'll emphasize few points here as people who wrote previous reviews either did not read user manual or do not understand basic engineering designs.
1. Right out of box the unit goes in full automatic mode (three fan speeds, EXCLUDING turbo mode). Level one and level two are quiet enough to fall asleep. Level three is somewhat noticeable louder but definitely not loud!!!! Level three is quite powerfull and good/quiet enough to be in living or family room without distracting from any activity (like watching TV, etc...)
2. For the night time you MUST select Quiet Mode. It will force the fan to the quietest mode and it will DIM front panel. Some one complaint about lights are being too bright at night - they are only bright in auto and turbo modes, and not in Quiet mode!
3. Some one mentioned that intakes are too small. Quoted: There are only four tiny slits along the front cover". Well it a basic design used in any vacuum cleaner - small intakes creates huge vacuum suction!!!! This unit will pick up and clean very large particles like pet's hair, etc... AND WILL NOT LOOSE SUCTION over time, when filters gets covered with dust. It also intake air from the bottom!
4. And last but not least. Turbo mode is quite loud but meant to be used during the parties, when loud and people are smoking, etc. or when no one around during the day. I put my device in this mode when I'm going to work. It produces as much air flow (I would say "wind") as my 12,000 BTU air conditioner and definitely cleans room very well from dust, pet's hair, lint or any other large particles in the air or on the floor (light stuff, of course).
The remote is very basic, quite comfortable in size and does everything needed.
Hope it helps. Definitely recommend!
So Far I'm Impressed May 5, 2010
Emerson Shiff (Long Beach, CA)
I've had mine for about a month and I'm impressed by how it works. Set on automatic it stays on the lowest setting until it detects cooking odors or shower humidity. I've noticed considerably less dust and considering it's a real HEPA filter it's probably doing a great job on floating critters. I also own a Airfree Air Sterilizer, which only nukes whatever flows into it through air convection. Between the two I'm well on my way to Howard Hughes insanity. Does Amazon sell designer tissue boxes I can wear as shoes?
If there's a cheat on saving on replacement filters I'd like to know them.
