Air purifiers should be where nothing is blocking the air vents, exit, and entrance. Keep the unit at least one foot away from the furniture ad walls to allow proper air circulation between the room area and the air purifier. Just like 45i, this model too has a lights-off mode that you can turn on at night to sleep better. The sound frequency is lower in this unit, with a maximum of 49 decibels only.

For those looking for a versatile and powerful purifier for under $450.00, you would be well served with the lasko pedestal fans 45i. With four fan speeds to choose from, the noise of this purifier can easily be curtailed to suit the user whilst still vastly improving the air quality in your home. Even if used continuously, running the purifier as recommended, Alen claims the filter will last for 12 months. This is quite a long lifespan for a HEPA filter, with many other manufactures suggesting replacing the filter after 6 months or a year if used infrequently. However as the replacement filters cost up to $119.00, I hope it proves to be true.
