I spend over 2 months researching on the perfect air filter. I shopped the local hardware stores, specialty stores, and online merchants and was not content with what I found. I was looking for a quiet machine that was easy to fit in a corner without being an eyesore. In addition, costs of replacement filter fees was high on the list and the square footage of coverage.
The RabbitAir is all of the above and more. I have it on the auto-setting and the air has never smelled so fresh. My condo does not have a sufficient fan when cooking so food smells linger past 24 hours. Not the case now. I ordered the front cover in Pearl White which is beautiful. You can also order the different colors and switch it out if you desire on the company's main website. The functions are straight forward. Although you have to use the remote to access all features. It is relatively lightweight so that I can move it to different areas of the room with ease. It is energy efficient although it did not qualify for energy-star, although extremely close. For more detailed information with video, go the the official website for rabbitair.
So to make my review a little easier to read, it will be broken down as below:
PROS:
extremely quiet
stylish- can swap out front case cover if desired
light-weight
easy to use function with auto-setting
reduces dust/pollen/food odors effectively
energy efficient
covers large square footage for such a moderate size
cheap filter replacement costs (every 1.5-3 years)
5 year warranty
plug in and forget about it
CONS:
pricey (but worth it to me)
must change out filters strictly as recommended or warranty is void
cannot access all features unless use remote- so don't lose it!
not energy star rated
Oh, and you can see how effective the auto mode is . . . my boyfriend farts in the vicinity of the rabbitair and the turbo setting kicks in and the orange/red bar lights up. Makes for some giggles.
