User Reviews
This Hunter isn't horrible, but there are other options that are better. Check out reviews at Air Purifier Power -- I am not affiliated with that site, I just found it while shopping around and the reviews are unusually detailed.
For me, I ended up returning this Hunter and getting a RabbitAir unit. It's more expensive up front, but its maintenance costs are significantly less than the Hunter's, and the RabbitAir's quality is much better. I ran the Hunter for a few days, and it was okay. I ran the RabbitAir one night, and it was much better. And the RabbitAir is significantly quieter.
Also, there are some other brands that offer cheaper alternatives and still are better than this Hunter... I'm thinking Sharp and Whirlpool--a friend of mine has a Whirlpool and swears by it.
-- Better options are available.
The vascular surgeon I work for placed this model's bigger cousin in the surgical procedure room in our office. Loved the results! Some of the surgical dressings we wrap patient's legs with post procedure drift small sized lint and fibers as we use them. The Hunter Air Purifer got rid of them.
When my asthma kicked up this year and I had to take an extended medical leave my lung specialist encouraged the use of an air purifer especially in the bedroom. I purchased this Hunter model. I have had it for 2 weeks and love the results! We have 3 cats and the resulting dander and hair, plus the usual room dust. They have really decreased since the Hunter was installed. I love the "white noise" and my husband has no complaints about it either. It is not as loud as fan noise on a medium setting we have had in the bedroom previously. As it has a HEPA filter, I know replacement filters will cost more, but should be worth it. A HEPA type air purifer was the only one recommended by my lung specialist to reduce room allergens.
I plan to purchase a second unit prior winter to place in the laundry room where the litter boxes live.
At Amazon's pricepoint and SuperSaver or Prime shipping I am recommending it to all our patients with asthma/allergies.
I told my surgeon boss about how much it has helped me and he purchased three more of the larger units, one for each exam room, so the dust will be reduced for me.
P.S. For cat lovers: Recently I began using a new cat litter Worlds Best Cat Litter 17 lb Originaland have really been pleased with it. No dust(silica dust from clay products, this one is a corn product) when you pour it into the litter box, the best odor control ever, and much less tracking. If you have cats and allergies/asthma I highly recommend checking into this litter.

Great product for the price. You can feel the difference in air quality and especially my wife and daughter who have allergies, this machine is on all of the time now. It isn't super quiet on the med & high settings but it only would be switched on that high while we are out of the room and and needed some extra air clean-up. One side effect of the air cleaner running on low all the time is how the room it is in feels a few degreees cooler than other rooms. It really moves the air around like a nice, quiet fan. We bought a 2nd one for another room!!
-- Great allergy relief
This is a very good product. I already have three of them. This was a very good price.
-- Great product
We got this unit as a gift..it emitted a horrible burning smell that permeated half the house. We put it in the garage and ran it for a week..the smell did not go away. Contacted Hunter...very long waits on the phone. Once they do answer they are happy to help. We sent the cord from the unit back and got a replacement unit. The second unit emitted the same awful burning smell.
Went through the same incredibly long wait to customer service. They gladly sent us a different model altogether. I cannot understand how the third unit smelled as bad as the others. You would think before they sent a third unit out they might test it first.
We am so disappointed in their air cleaners. We just cannot purchase a filter from this company. If you have lung issues...steer clear of this company! -- Tried it three times....forget this one!
