Fellowes AeraMax 200 Air Purifier: Clean Air for Your Home or Office

Teal: Bought this one in 2016. I liked it so much that I bought 2 more of the larger model (Aeramax 300.) Removes 2nd hand smoke, very good for pollen. Aeramax 200 and 300 best sensors for odour control I've had, works well if you replace the carbon filter every few months. High speeds are noisier but lowest speed is barely noticeable. Value because they still work, and because unlike other brand which discontinues filters after a few years, I can still buy Fellowes hepa filters.

Larry Goldin: I am very satisfied with the AeraMax 190 Air Purifier. It is whisper quiet except when it senses particulates or other substances in the air and then the fan will notch up and you will hear the fan noise - but it is not bothersome.
This is a great unit and I have no difficulty recommending it.

Jérôme Poulin: Quiet when running at low speed but the ion generator always makes a little hiss that you can notice when the room is very quiet. I wouldn't use it in a bedroom just for that because you can't disable it.
The automatic mode will detect most organics in the air and amp up the fan speed accordingly. Here are some examples of things in detects; isopropyl alcohol (hand sanitizer), ethanol (wine), hair spray (butane), perfume or when cats go to the litter.
For the purifying side, well, it didn't change much for our house, when making food or using hand sanitizer, it'll clear up scent quicker for sure. There's also a bit less of floating dust in the air.
There are 4 fan speed, automatic mode will only use the first 3 settings, for the full speed, you have to use the fan button manually, it is very noisy but very powerful, nice if you're training near it, it'll really help with the sweating.
Replacing the filter is easy and I didn't have too since I bought it yet, but that's only a couple months ago.

CashFlys: Well, it is a bit large, the lights on the control panel are too bright and no option to dim (for bedrooms), however, this thing is quiet in auto mode and works very very well. With the "plasma" thing on (ok, let's just call it ionization, and as to whether it is producing ozone, well - I can smell a slight "lightning storm" smell so...). However it killed the odor of the dog, and the mass of kids shoes piled at the doors. I have a sensitive nose, odors bother me, and I have to say this thing seems to be working well. It has a carbon filter that of course helps with odors but the "ion drive" helps too. As for sound, on low it is to quiet to mention, even on the "boost" setting (or level 2) it is very quiet but more importantly still moves air. Quiet is useless if there isn't a good airflow and this seems to do well, likely due to the very large surface area of the filter pack. It's all proprietary so the filters are what they are price wise, but when you start doing the math on allergy medicine and nose sprays at night - well, it's not that bad! The auto, as others have mentioned seems to actually work (burned some pancakes and the red EYE came on and it kicked into high gear - it...

Malcolm Kantzler: So far, so good. There is a power-on switch on the top rear which some reviewers seemed to not know about, and if you don't turn it on, it will seem the unit is DOA when it is not. There is also a reset process for the filter-change lights, which is in instructions, but which I haven't used yet.

I have elected to leave the unit on, all the time, on low setting, and so far it has been quiet with none of the vibration or noise reported by some other reviewers. The reason I don't give it five stars is because the air-quality light changes when sometimes I can see no reason for it. It is usually blue, for good, and it will usually move into orange when cooking, indicating that it is filtering something associated with the cooking process, odors or slight, not-visible-to-me-smoke. Also, on occasion, I use alcohol to clean glasses or other things, and the unit's air-quality indicator, which is in my living room, will turn red, indicating poor quality, which is true, since the odor of alcohol isn't great. But sometime, the indicator will change to orange or red when there's nothing happening and I'm not doing anything except watching TV, so I don't know what that's about.

CS: This is a great air purifier! At first I couldn't figure out how to turn the ionizer off but I finally figured it out. Some reviews said to hold the ionizer icon in for about 5 seconds. That didn't work. After finding the manual online at the Fellowes website, the troubleshooter said to hold the icon in until the unit beeps. Very simple once you have the correct information.
The 200 is set up in our living room, 14 ft x 20 ft. We have 3 cats, and live in central TX where there are always allergens in the air. I've only had my AeraMax one day but I can tell a difference in the air quality. My sinuses are clear. So far, I'm very happy with this product!
P.S. I forgot to mention how quiet it is. The first 2 settings are very quiet. I can hear the tv without any problems on the 3rd setting. The 4th setting is loud, however, the 3rd setting works great at cleaning the air.

LoLo: I have COPD and this really does seem to help with my coughing problems. It's very quiet and unless it's in "high alert" mode we seldom even hear it. It's sensitive to smells and really seems to hate my husband's scented deodorant when he sprays it in the morning. (But then again, so do I.) The filters are easily accessable and easy to check and change. I keep it in the bedroom and it does a great job of keeping the air cleaner and removing odors. We have three cats and I actually notice that the "cat smell," is less. It's a large room, far larger than the 200sq foot room it's recommended for but it seems up to the task. I'm thinking about buying another one for the downstairs. I've read that other people are disturbed by the dial lights but we've not noticed any problem with them. Most times I am unaware that it's even running. Good design and takes up very little space.
