Good product! suitable for air purifier

Ideal for small rooms. I recently put our litter boxes in a closet as we couldn't stand the smell. I have an outlet in the closet as it is an old house. I have a cat door leading to my closet and this unit reduced the odor by 95%. The fan is a bit noisy, but you can't hear it at all when the door is closed.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Unreliable! the best travel air purifier

I bought four of these. Three work perfectly, the fourth almost exploded due to a manufacturing defect. Nobody played with it, touched it or spilled anything on it, one day its UV lamp just burst. When I pulled it out of its nest and opened it to see what had happened, I saw that it was charred inside - it could have exploded! Just thank you for being home and not noticing right away. ATTENTION TO THE BUYER!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Negative gift

Good cleaner for heating, cooling and air quality

I bought two of these, one for the bathroom that doubles as the guest bathroom and the other for the laundry room where we keep the litter box. Both did a good job of freshening the air. The smell of the cat box has been greatly reduced. My cat wanted to remind everyone that this is not an excuse not to clean the sheets. Cons: Fan noise. It's even noticeable when walking past the bathroom. I wouldn't recommend it for a small office or light sleeper bedroom.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Effective!: Travel Air Purifier

This thing is really good. My boyfriend and I live in a very old apartment that hasn't been renovated (almost time to move out - hooray!) and smells very musty if we don't leave the windows open. The last time we were gone for a few days we closed everything and just plugged in the living room. And now the musty smell is gone or was very minimal so I know this stuff works. The only thing that bothers me is that it's not quiet. Although it's not loud, you can hear a small fan inside when it's…

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • New Competitors Appeared

Combats cat litter odor

Clear odor control of cat litter with one device in a 150 square meter room. Feet in a house with multiple (and I mean multiple) cats. In the past, several different air filters have been tried and ultimately abandoned due to dirty maintenance, costly replacement filters, and questionable final air quality. But with the new additions to the already multi-cat house, something had to be tried out. It's not instant, but it removes odors for hours and continues to knock out garbage smells. It's a…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

Germ Guardian generates formaldehyde?!

I am concerned that this product breaks down mold spores into aldehydes such as formaldehyde. We bought two and they arrived yesterday. We stuck one under the sink which smelled of mold. This morning the mildew smell was gone, which is great, but instead it was an unusually strong sweet smell and my face started to tingle and feel weird looking under the sink. I read two studies this morning that report that while the combination of UV-C and titanium dioxide (or PCO (photocatalytic oxidation)…

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Any device that uses UVC produces some amount of ozone. Instead, PCO devices require water vapor to generate hydroxyls. If your humidity is around 60%, this will likely work well. When the humidity is low, you won't get the strong hydroxyl effect and fresh feeling, and you'll have annoying incomplete chemical by-products. Some expensive PCO machines, like the Air Oasis, add a gel to provide water vapor for the process. I'm thinking about one. Professional recovery equipment such as Titanium…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • No mold required
