RabbitAir BioGS Ultra Quiet Air Purifier

Rating

So far so good- the product is solidly built, makes little noise and seems to help with my morning congestion problems. Is it a panacea? No- unfortunately it did not immediately render my sinuses clear... but they seem to be improving. The machine itself is exactly as represented- sharp looking, quiet, well built and seems to be sturdy. Time will tell. I think that after reviewing what's available, this is the best of the breed. I'll know better once the winter arrives and the house is buttoned up a lot more tightly than it is during the summer's warmth. The only reason I haven't given a 5 star rating is that there seems to be little technology here for the money. A fan, a filter and a sniffer that appears to measure the air quality. I guess I'd be happy with 3 or 4 fan settings and a timer for a lot less money. My ideal for the bedroom would be to have it turn on an hour or two before bed- clean the air in the room- and then go into maintenance mode for the next 7 or 8 hours and shut off. Do it all again the next day. Ah well- this is a fine unit and I'm pleased with it. I think you will be too.

I researched online for months for the perfect air purifier at a reasonable price. I already had an air purifier prior to purchasing this and needed another one for downstairs to cover a larger space. I suffer from seasonal and year round allergies and I also have multiple chemical sensitivities (almost all smells bother me). I was impressed with the reviews I found on overstock.com, however, I did not have such a great experience myself with this product. The air purifier arrived almost immediately thanks to overstock and as soon as I followed the directs and tested out the purifier it began to rattle on medium to high settings. I checked with overstock to see if this was normal and they directed me to Rabbit Air's website. Rabbit Air unfortunately took several days to get back to me yet indicated that the machine is ok to use and might rattle depending on the surface its on and setting. I was ok with that. After about two weeks of use I checked the air purfier to see if it was indeed picking up air pollutants and allergens and to my surprise it was filled with dust and needed to be cleaned. I vaccuumed the air purifier approximately every other week from then on and after nearly two months the change filter light came on. I was extremely disappointed because one of the main reasons I bought this was because of the long filter life expectincy. In my honest opinion this air purifier is not worth the money because the sensors almost never come on (I almost always keep it on auto) and it does nothing to combat smells, even one day I sprayed an air freshener infront of it to see if the odor sensor would pick it up and it did not. This air purifier is more expensive than my other air purifier that covers half the sq footage yet seems to work 100 times better than the Rabbit Air. I would recommend this only to someone who wants to minimize dust in the air because it does little to nothing for my allergies as well as smells. The Rabbit Air's does have a sleek design, great color choices, easy to use remote... but it's pros end there.

After looking around for an air purifier for about one year I settled on this one for several reasons and I am glad I did. I have asthma and am very sensitive to dust. and certain odors. The other air purifier I had made a great deal of noise and did not address VOC's or odors issues which I also react to. This air purifer is extremely quite. At first I even wondered if it was purifiing the air becuase it was so quite. However, I noticed that I was sleeping better the first week of owning it and also noticed that it went into a higher mode when there were certain odors in the air. I appreciate that it has an air sensor which actually can pick up odors and levels of dust in the air. I keep the purifier mainly in my bedroom but at times I move it to the kitchen when I am cooking and strong odors permeate the air.

I was elated to finally find a product that actually works. This air cleaner removes all odors from the house and senses when the air quality is poor. It comes on immediately when I start sauteeing onions, or when I was using paint thinner to clean a brush. The ultimate test was frying taco shells, fried catfish and onion rings. Usually the smell permiates the house and takes forever to dissipate. After frying, we left the house and came back a couple hours later....no smell. Wish I could afford one for each level in my home but at least I have one for the kitchen. Worth every penny and a key feature for me are the cleanable filters. It has a great design and I was able to mount this on my wall out of the way. So many others take up quite a bit of space on the floor.

What a difference this product makes to my air in my home. I have reseached air purifiers for awhile- before deciding upon this one. I'm glad I chose the best one. We sleep so much better now. Thank you.
