The Bottom Line
Although this Enviracaire Hepa Air Purifier has a permanent filter and washable pre-filter, eliminating the need to purchase expensive replacement filters, the user was disappointed with its performance. It was also noted in the manual, that due to small amounts of ozone being emitted during operation, persons with a history of respiratory problems, should consult a physician before using this product. A buyer should be aware of this before purchasing this product.

Guide Review - Enviracaire® Hepa Germicidal Air Purifier
This is user review, and disappointment was expressed over the performance of this product. The manufacturer recommends that for proper air flow, this air purifier should be located at least 3 feet away from any walls or furniture, and the exit grill should face away from these as well. This made finding a location for it extremely difficult.Operation was not as quiet as expected, and it was noted that the plants located near this unit were negatively affected by it. It's unsure whether this was due to the small amount of ozone it emitted while operating, or from another source.
Dust also seems to gather on the outside near the base. Overall, the user was dissatisfied with this product.
