RENPHO Air Purifier: Perfect for Bedrooms, Allergies, and Pet Hair Removal

ocs4.0: Seriously, my husband can be in the room and poot next to it, and it will detect it 😄 and starts glowing orange lights or red lights, working harder to clean the air! This one has the best filtering capability, with so many layers...actual charcoal screen, hepa filter, carbon filter, mesh screen, etc. The way it detects something in the air is sooo crazy to see! The different color glowing lights let you know how strong the odor is and how hard it's working to clean it. Not just odors either, stirring up some dust while cleaning, dog or cat fur gets near it..it detects it and works away. This is when it is on auto-mode. Perfect for my dogs and when I'm burning dinners, or smoke or odors come in from outside. Replacement filters are not expensive and last a long time for me. You can find them made by other manufacturers that work just as well as brand name. I'd say the filters last about 6 mos dependent on how much is being cleaned in the air, of course. You can clean the screen and filters by hand, if you can't afford a full replacement set. I did this a few times. When you do this, remember to hold down the red lights on the end to reset them as if it were a new filter...

Gordon UngGordon Ung: I initially bought one RP-AP001 and one AP068 due to fires in the state with the idea that the AP068 would go into a smaller room. The AP068 was noisy, and my unit simply wasn't effective in filtration at all. I sent it back and bought a second RP-AP001.

The pictures in the review are from unit no. 2 purchased a week later. Both appear to function identically. I also measured noise and power consumption with it set to manual low, medium and high. If you set the unit on auto, it changes speed based on particulate matter sensed by the unit. Turning off AQ turns off this function and it stays in the selected mode so the noise and power consumption is the same between the modes.

Using a calibrated sound meter held about 45 degrees away from the front of the unit approximately 2.5 feet above and 2.5 feet forward of the unit, you can see it's 36.9 dBA on low, 46.7 dBA on medium and 54.3 dBA on high. High is definitely very noticeable but I will say it's probably not worse than the smaller AP068 on its higher settings. It makes sense. The tiny unit has smaller blades that probably have to spin at a higher RPM to be effective.

Where the RP-AP001 shines is on its low...

Gerald Carino: Have been using this air purifier for a few days now and have to say I am very pleased with my purchase. It was packaged well and was very easy to start using right out of the box. It has LEDs on the sides to indicate the quality of the air - red meaning bad, yellow meaning OK, and blue meaning good.

We recently started moving into a house so have tested it out in all the different rooms. It works great in the basement and hallway between the bedrooms, but cannot quite keep up when I put it in the main living area (living room, dining area, and kitchen). A closer look at the manual shows that it's rated for 300 sq ft of space. Just something to keep in mind when looking to purchase this.

The unit has 3 different fan speeds to choose from but I have only been using the Auto mode. It would be nice if the unit defaulted to Auto when turned on, but that's a small annoyance and I'm completely fine with taking the extra step to switch it to Auto when turning it on. It also has a Sleep Mode which turns off all of the lights and quiets down the fan to be as unobtrusive as possible. It actually gets pretty quiet and my wife and I do not really notice that it's on at...
