Day 2. Checking Parts and Accessories

I've been suffering from an increasing number of allergies lately, so I was dying to try something to relieve a stuffy nose. I love Coastal Carolina and thought I'd give this air purifier a try. I wanted something with an AUTO sensor and also quiet. I looked all over the internet for reviews and finally settled on this one. After two days my observations: PRO - I have definitely noticed an improvement in my condition. For the first time in months, I didn't take any allergy medication before bed. I woke up without a stuffy nose for the first time in a long time. The device is very quiet. I downloaded a sound level meter for my phone to measure it myself. AeraMax 300 has four main settings. Level 1 measured 27 dB at 3 feet. Level 2 was 38 dB. Level 3 was 45 dB. And level 4 was 58 dB. I used the same sound meter app elsewhere in the house for reference. My kitchen sink was 49dB at 3ft and speaking at normal volume reading was at 60dB. So the highest setting of this air purifier is as loud as the person speaking. I barely heard Level 1 while in the bedroom. Another nice feature of this air purifier is that it shows how dirty the air is by showing an icon that glows BLUE (clean), YELLOW (medium), and RED (dirty). I tested this by covering my hands in alcohol and holding them to the air intakes. Soon the icon turned red, and the fan turned on at an accelerated speed. CONS - Obviously I haven't had to replace a filter yet, so I haven't experienced sticker shock when the time comes. Hopefully the filters will have to be changed when they are expected. My only complaint at the moment is that there is no way to dim the light bar on the front. It would be very convenient, especially at night.
