This HEPA Air Purifiers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Impressed
Right out of the box, I was impressed with the look of this Fellows air purifier. It's fairly light, but somewhat large (about 18" H x 13" W x 8" L), and very easy to install. You simply pop off front piece, remove the wrapping from the filters, replace the front piece, plug it in, and turn it on. The tough part, as has been mentioned by others, is finding a place two feet from any walls to keep the unit (though, frankly, I ended up ignoring this suggestion after awhile with no ill effect).

The purifier has two settings, manual and auto. In manual mode, you simply adjust the fan speed to whatever setting you like: low, medium, high, or turbo. The auto setting adjusts the fan speed depending on the air quality (as indicated by a meter on the left side of the display). In my experience, the auto mode almost always leaves the fan on the lowest setting, but once in awhile, especially if I move the unit to a new room, it will detect a lower air quality and kick up the fan...

2. Very Efficient and Useful Air Filter
Previous reviewers have very effectively described the ease of set-up for this Air Purifier. It is, indeed, very easy to set-up. I have many dogs, many allergies, and a big, old, dusty house. This is the best air-purifier that I have ever owned. It removes pet dander, fine particles of dust ( especially plaster dust, from those old walls), and, from the appearance of the filers, practically everything else from the air. We have wood stoves in our house, which create many fine, black, soot particles. This machine removes all of those. It is easy to run, offering several speed levels.

My eyes used to burn each evening as I sat in a room with one of the stoves burning. Now, it is as if there is no wood stove in the room. My eyes stopped burning and watering, and I stopped coughing each morning ( I don't smoke, but before this filter arrived, I certainly sounded like a smoke, with my early morning"typical" smoker's cough.). This, alone, would be enough.... but, it has cut back...

Need more appointment... ?
Pure and Quiet
After some negative reviews of the larger AP-300PH I was a little worried that this unit might be loud but it isn't. Even at its "Turbo" speed, the AP-230PH generates a not-very-annoying white noise background sound that is easy to ignore. In its "High" mode, the unit is barely audible, but it definitely does its work as the room it's in smells noticeably better after just a couple of days of operation.

I bought the AP-230PH as the basement started smelling a little musty (and not a little ripe) after my old high school buddy stopped by for a "short visit." Two weeks later, with a few too few showers, the basement began to take on his particular musk. But after a couple of days with the AP-230H, the basement now smells super fresh, even if "Stinky Pete" doesn't. It's OK, we love him anyway. Thanks, Fellowes!
