Good brand but this one is defective

I have several Germ Guardian air purifiers. It is the newest and fully digital. I'm not sure if I like it. For the most part this seems to be working, but the indicator that should have been green (meaning the air filters are clean and don't need to be replaced) is now always red. I checked the filters, they are clean (and new, I bought them a month ago, I don't use them every day). So I don't know if it's the problem or not and I missed the window to get it back. Judging by Revane, it's been…

I loved it until I finally realized the light filter wasn't working.

So I loved this product when I first bought it and I was surprised at how long the filter lasts. Now I finally found out that the filter indicator is not working and the filter is dirty. I waited for the display to go off, but it didn't. I opened the filter compartment and found that the "clean air" I thought I was breathing was definitely not that clean because it was dirty! If the ad came out as expected, this would be a great product. Unfortunately, I don't know how often to buy filters, and

Planned Obsolescence

All was good until they 'upgraded' replacement filters. The new replacement parts (the same size I bought from Revain as I did all my previous replacement parts) don't fit properly. The back panel has to be force closed and it's obvious that it will eventually break due to the pressure now having to be applied to the plastic tab at the top when removing the panel. The old filter still fits perfectly, I've tried putting the new one back in twice and it doesn't fit properly. Others have mentioned

cleaner air. Dust inside the block. Expensive filters.

I bought this animal allergy medicine from my husband about 18 months ago. For me it worked all of the time in our room, except on conference calls (its buzz is still very audible on the lowest settings). I have several issues with this product. After I replaced the filter for the first time, the "Replace filter" message didn't go away even though I used the original filter. I don't care about the light itself (although it's very bright), the problem is that it emits a very loud beep for 20…

  • complete set
Cons

Not bad with two disappointments

My partner has asthma so we have air purifiers in the living room and master bedroom. The Germ Guardian AC5250PT is usually in our master bedroom but also travels with us in our RV. Overall, we are satisfied with the device: it filters well with an acceptable noise level (if the fan speed is reduced by one notch from maximum). We like the slim tall form factor to minimize wasted space. There are a couple of disappointments: Even after the briefest power outage (0.03 seconds), the Germ Guardian…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Great device, now I have three of them! (Updated again: fixed UV issues!)

I have three of these at home now. My wife is allergic to all kinds of "things". I am happy with the performance of this device and it has helped reduce allergy issues in my home BUT I had a downside. The device works fine. Noise levels are acceptable at higher speeds and very quiet at lower speeds. I have one unit in my family room, one in the loft and one in the master bedroom. I've been using the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze for almost twenty years (yes, 20 YEARS). It had UV radiation but…

Pros
  • Many will do
Cons
  • Some difficulties
