With such low CADR rating, the lasko pedestal fans FLEX will take longer time to clean a room of 700 square feet effectively. There is only a 2-stage air cleaning system from Alen Paralda, without the classicionizerin Alen Paralda and Alen T500. They want to deliver the best customer services to compare with other American rivals likeRabbit Air, Honeywell and Levoit, and keep the strong foothold on the air purifier market. However, their air purifiers all demand the mid-range and high-range level, because buying an Alen’s product is a sign of lifetime commitment. Today we have Alen BreatheSmart FLEX Review, an air purifier which is the entry-level to mid-range budget.
This room coverage is even larger than the 625 square feet from Rabbit Air BioGS 2.0, or 620 square feet from Blue Pure 121. HEPA-Pure– The standard HEPA filter of Alen BreatheSmart FLEX, which is able to capture 99% of as small as 0.3 microns pollutant particles such as dust, dust mites and pollen. Bigger in size, the Alen BreatheSmart FLEX is only 15 lbs.
The Alen draws air from the front, the vents on the sides, and the bottom. The air is then filtered and exits towards the ceiling through vents at the back of the unit. On the far left is the filter button, above which are indicators to show the current wear of the filter. Just to the right of this is the timer button, above which there are also indicators. The slightly larger dimensions of the device are mainly due to the larger space, which houses a more powerful motor and the larger filter.
Alen purifiers are proven to improve sleep according to a peer-reviewed study by SleepScore Labs. Incredibly quiet, BreatheSmart purifiers emit a soothing pink noise for up to 25% better sleep, and night mode darkens lighting with one-touch. Its intuitive design, whisper-quiet operation and a lights-off mode for sleeping make it a superb choice for large bedrooms as well as open concept rooms. Child-friendly features include a locking control panel and child-safe vent guard make it THE choice for homes with kids or grandchildren.
The purifier consumes 50 watts of energy at full power, which will set you back at approximately $4.40 per month. In reality, the power consumed will be much, much lower as the purifier lasko pedestal fans operates on the lowest setting 99% of the time. Alen states the sound levels of the purifier are 39 dB at speed 1, 42 dB at speed 2, 49 dB at Speed 3, and reaching 55 dB on turbo.
But suppose you still want even more efficient and powerful performance in the fight against gases. In that case, I recommend you choose the filter option for dust, mold, pet odors, + strong smoke because, in this case, the carbon filter contains 2+ lbs of activated carbon. Because the filter change is easy as it is only accessed from the top of the unit, there’s no need to move the air purifier frequently from its place. As the decisive criteria for the performance of one air purifier, by default we look at the quantity and the quality of its air filters, and what the air filter types are using. The Alen BreatheSmart starts with the unique Alen’s 3-stage air cleaning system. At the center of this air cleaning system, you can choose 1 from 4 different level of HEPA air filter as below.
