The Breathesmart series also offers 4 different types of filters, each excelling in different areas including mold, chemicals, VOCs, smoking, cooking odors, and pets. All alen breathesmart purifiers have a sleek and modern look, so they’ll never stick out in your room’s design. The filters used in Alen HEPA Air Purifiers are not designed to be washed, cleaned, or otherwise reused. Over time, the filters become overloaded with particles, decreasing their filtration performance. An Activated Carbon filter.In this review, I tested an air purifier with a filter for dust, mold, pet odor, + smoke, as I mentioned earlier. This filter is unique because it has a carbon filter that contains 0.66 lbs of activated carbon.
The warranty of Alen is truly superior, that defeats even the 5-year warranty from Rabbit Air,Honeywellor IQAir. It’s not cheap, but still far away from the price of the top luxury high-end devices. Alen® BreatheSmart FIT50 handles everything you love about city life, minus the pollutants that come with it. FIT50 cleans up to 900 square feet of air through superior filtration technology every thirty minutes. At the top fan speed setting, the noise levels rise to 56 dB which is not ideal. Granted, the smaller lasko pedestal fans FLEX also has 55 dB noise levels at Turbo Speed but the new 45i and 75i models have managed to reduce that number to 49 dB, a considerable difference.
We are talking about a very common bottom-to-top air flow system, with a large air intake grill behind the panel. Normally, it indicates exactly the low fan power, and in truth, that’s what you get for an Alen device. We also notice the presence of the Dyson Pure Cool Tower and Dyson Pure Cool Link in the same price range.
Again, there is a pink noise frequency in this Alen BreatheSmart Classic, so even though you run at the highest speed, you are still able to sleep easily. For a room of 1100 square feet, this air purifier only clean twice an hour. Online reviews for the Alen BreatheSmart Classic average at around 4.5 out of 5. They praise its accurate Smart Sensor and reporting, saying they can see the air quality light change based on their activities.
To measure the amount of electricity used, we hooked the device up to a watt reader and recorded how many kilowatts per hour it used while running on a medium setting. Assuming 12 hours of use per day, it costs around $9.00 to run the BreatheSmart 75i for a year. While quite a few devices were cheaper to run, this was nowhere near the highest annual cost. To achieve that goal, we promise to be the experts of air purifiers, and our website are dedicated to the air purifiers alone. Even with an Energy Star rating, the power consumption of Classic is still 120 watts on the highest speed.
You’re also able to include an ionizer with this air purifier. This uses negative ions to create a static charge around contaminants in your room, removing particles and odors. The BreatheSmart 75i also includes activated carbon adsorbs chemicals, smoke, and toxic gases. The Alen Breathesmart air purifier series is available in a number of popular models, including 45i, 75i, Classic, Flex, and FIT50. Each model’s specs are slightly different, so that you can find a purifier that’s both ideal to your square footage and other purification needs.
The room coverage of Alen BreatheSmart is one the second highest, with 1100 square feet, only lower than the flagship – Alen BreatheSmart 75i. However, we are talking about the high-range devices, and there are others capable of dealing with large room. The best example is the AIRMEGA 400 with 1560 square feet, or the Austin Air Pet Machine with 1500 square feet. In 2018, Alen BreatheSmart Classic was one of the best large room air purifiers.
