My husband and I made this purchase for several reasons:
1) We were expecting our first child
2) We have two cats
3) We were moving into a living arrangement to which one of the resident was allergic to cats
Not only was there an immediate need for an air purifier to prevent allergic reactions, we thought it would be a good investment for our growing family with pets. This germguardian air purifier worked wonders when our living arrangement changed. No more red eyes and running noses, and no more need for Claritin. Not only have I seen the changes in the air quality, I have also see the difference in the odors around the house. Being pregnant, I’ve been much more sensitive to smells, but with this purifier around, even the smell of the cat litter bothers me less.
Pros:
-The adjustable 3 levels of air cleansing, based on where you put the purifier, and how strong you want to keep it on
-Tall and slick – it’s definitely pleasing to the eye
– The noise: the highest setting isn’t soundless, but overall, it’s quiet. It gives a nice white noise in the background when we go to bed
Cons:
-Within the first month, our electricity bill went up $80. It was to be expected, considering that we have it on 24/7. But still not the most ideal.
Although we haven’t had a chance to test it with in the baby room since our baby isn’t born yet, we are looking forward to bringing our daughter home to a clean environment.

I have bad allergies and needed something to help with mold, cedar and two dogs that shed a lot. After doing some online research I ordered this unit and I placed it in my bedroom. I then turned it on high and turned on the UV light, closed the bedroom door and let it run for about an hour while I did a couple things. When I opened the door it was a very noticible difference as it knocked out the bad pet smell and the air was much cleaner. That evening when I went to sleep, I put the unit on medium and left the UV light on and I made it through the night without sneezing and my eyes didn’t itch nearly as bad. For two weeks now, I’m feeling much better. I ordered another one for my son and put it in his bedroom and it’s working great. Then I bought two more so now I have 4 units. I didn’t know what to expect upfront when the first one arrived, but I can honestly say it has made a difference and I am sold. During the day, I turn off the unit in the bedrooms and close the door, and turn on the one that is now in my family room. I have found if you turn it on HIGH for an hour with the UV light on it knocks out the allergens. Then right before I go to sleep, I’ll turn off the UV light and leave the unit on medium for the rest of the night and it works great. The real test will come this January when Cedar hits as it gets really bad where I live, but I have no doubt I will see a big difference. If you buy this, you should definitely feel a difference. The other thing I like is the unit is not loud which makes it easy to fall asleep. When turned on the UV light that’s located inside the unit is visible and not very bright, but it is also accompanied by a blue light on the top of the unit which at night is pretty bright for me. Keep this in mind when you decide where to place the unit as it can also double as a small night light. However, if it’s a problem, without turning off the power button, you can just turn off the UV light which is separate. It appears the UV light really does it’s job and I haven’t had to keep it on all the time, but for the first 3 days I did just so it could knock everything out in the air. I don’t usually write a product summary, but I feel this one is worth it.

Absolutely amazing. This air purifier not only removes odors, but it’s FULL HEIGHT UV-C bulb (from the bottom to top of the entire unit) sterilizes the air, as well.
Our home has three cats. I used to be able to tell when one of them used the litter box (even all the way across the house, and our home is clean)….but we’ve got air returns in every room, so no matter where the cat boxes are, the odor is pulled into the air return and pushed around the house.
Also, we live in FL, where there are TONS of pollens every day of the year.
Ever since we replaced our old (8 years old) air filtration machine with “HEPA-Like” filters, and gave the Germ Guardian a couple of days to work, there are no more odors…none, no more dust in the air in any room where the unit operates, and the house smells like a Spring morning in the north. No exaggerating, no need to. This thing just works, and the number of sneezes and allergic reactions (even with the screen door open) has been reduced by about 90% when the unit is on.
I recommend keeping it on “low” or “medium”, because the slower the air passes by the UV-C light, the more the air has contact with the UV light and the more germs it kills. The HEPA and Charcoal filter do a great job at eliminating kitchen odors, as well as other nuisance odors.
I bought two of these, and I’m considering buying another, because they work so unexpectedly well.
I’m not sure what others are saying about the “burning smell”. Some odors, when they are filtered and then encounter UV-C light, can ionize and change a bit, so what smells like cooking fish going in, might come out smelling different, but I’ve had these running practically 24/7 for a month, and they simply make the house smell fresh and good.
Other brands and “Allergy Sites” want $400-$1,500 for their UV-C HEPA filters, and most have no odor control on them.
This may not be suitable for a severe asthmatic who needs a whole-house HEPA filter installed on their A/C unit, but it sure works well otherwise.
