Germ Guardian Air Purifier: High-Performance True HEPA Filter for Cleaner Air

Amazon Customer: I have owned a handful of other HEPA filters, and this is an excellent model. We have been cooped up inside for a while and my allergies are getting a little worse due to our pets, vintage rugs, house dust, and wood dust. This unit deals with everything, and my nasal and eye allergies are manageable again without eye drops and nose spray. This filter has a very low noise level. Easy to move around despite the weight, because the top part is a handle. Moves a high volume of air pretty quietly. The high setting sounds like a box fan on medium, and is muffled by the plastic housing. The middle setting is as quiet as a moderate outdoor breeze, and the lowest setting is nearly inaudible. My upstairs unit deals with pet allergies and old carpet dust very well - also the uvc light and airflow will hopefully help with COVID-19 safety when quarantine is over and we are having guests again. I just bought my second unit for my basement workshop and it has made a dramatic difference in the dusty air down here. I own two other small germguardian models for the bedrooms,and they're effective at rooms. This one is undeniably much more powerful at moving and cleaning air, and keeps the air clean...

Weedarkone: My somewhat detailed review: I have regular allergies that have me sneezing all day and night in my home. I do everything I can to alleviate them.
I previously had three Honeywell 5020 Hepa Air Purifiers (which I bought here on Amazon) sprinkled throughout my house. My allergist uses them. To be fair, I rarely had them on in my house because they were SO NOISY, I couldn't think with them on. (I have since given them to my personal trainer, who runs them in his gym, and we have noticed a significant difference in the air quality.)
I bought this purifier and the more expensive Oransi Max HEPA Large Room Air Purifier, to see if I noticed a difference. I did, and it was huge.
First, noise levels: the GermGuardian is near silent on BOTH levels one and two. In fact, I've often had to check to make sure it's on, when it's on level one. It is seriously whisper quiet. Level 3 is a little noisier, but nowhere near as noisy as the Honeywells. (The Oransi rattled on level one and was noisier all around.)
Secondly, the purification was noticably much better with the GermGuardian than with the Oransi. The air is srisp and clean. I can breathe without sneezing. It is amazing. ALSO, I...

chmod: This is the business.
Finally, a product which meets our needs. What are our needs?
Our needs are a mix of needing solid air filtration due to living in a downtown environment and cooking odor mitigation. Plus, we have two cats. In our high rise, with giant dual glazed windows, etc., there is air exchange via a plenum. The air enters via a pocket door in our second (guest) bathroom which is pretty central to the (850 sq ft) apartment. So, outside downtown air is coming into our space this way. Then there are random cooking odors which manifest via this same air exchange point. OF COURSE this should be fixed by the building. But have you ever tried to get something like this fixed when all you do is lease the space and there is a waiting list? ha ha ha ha

This device includes the tech to deal with the odors (charcoal, UV and Ozone) AND a HEPA filter. On medium it is a gentle white noise. On low it is inaudible. I invoke both the UV and Ion generation and this unit scrubs the air very clean. Previously, using only a HEPA device, the smells saturated the filter quickly, rendering it stinky. It sits in the hallway across from the pocket door from which streams the outside...
