Spear & Jackson 38065 Air Purifier with HEPA & Carbon Filters, Air Cleaner for Allergies, Pollen, Pets, Dust, Smokers; Ionizer & Timer Function [Energy Class A]

This is a great little product for the job, very compact and relatively quiet considering it has a fan blowing like an ordinary fan, so it has a dual use and should be ideal on summer hot nights doing two jobs in one, cooling and moving the air and also purifying it. The design is excellent and its features perfect at the price, including ionizing & only 22watts. The filters are also the cheapest to replace, so basically there is nothing really to dislike. Some have commented on its noise level, which I consider to be acceptable and as it has a night quiet mode setting, which is quite good, I do not envisage this being too much of an issue. It is a fan after all and no louder than a good laptop or PC fan, slightly lower I would say, hence this may give buyers an example of the noise level. I can certainly recommend.

1. We are used to having fans or devices on which make a noise all day and overnight (listen to ambient sounds also) - so if you're not like that, this fan DOES make noise at sleep mode, but it's like a slow well built fan level of noise rather than a turbine! The noise makes it perfect for us.2. I bought this when we got our new dog - have lived with dogs for years, but wanted to make sure the house had a lower level of dust/dander etc.3. It seems to perform very well in our downstairs space and makes the space smell clean and crisp. I leave it on full mode with the ion option on. Time will tell if it reduces dirt and picks up airborne particles.4. HEPA filter and carbon filter easy to install but remember to open it up and remove the plastic covers! (Basically follow the instructions!)5. It hasn't overheated yet, nor appears warm to touch at all.6. Left it on overnight without any issues.7. The HEPA filter, the manual estimates, should last about 6 months - and there are apparently ways to clean these yourself.The long and short is that this probably does the job of a lot more expensive HEPA filters. I place the intake vent at the direction of the door so that any air coming into the room would be filtered (in theory anyway).I would say that the room feels less musty and dusty just from a couple of days use. Low power consumption also.

So I recently found out the newly acquired intense hacking is a kind of seasonal allergy. It seems to be nocturnal and every night I wheeze and cough, getting almost no sleep. Hence the reason for buying this.The double HEPA/carbon filter, sleep mode and 2 year guarantee were big selling points. I've used this for two weeks and I turn it on a half hour before going to bed. I make sure doors and windows are shut and have it in 'night mode'. I usually use it with the ioniser option on, to help purify the air. So it definitely has reduced my wheezing and coughing. The air feels cleaner and purer.But the noise.. this is not a quiet machine. I like white noise and have used an ioniser before, but this is much louder. I also found that setting the timer resulted in it waking me up when it bleeped loudly whilst turning itself off. (Why bleep?!) I was woken every single time. I now leave the timer off and it just runs all night.It has definitely helped my breathing and allows me to get much-needed sleep. But it certainly makes itself known..!Would recommend if you're not looking for a super quiet machine.. and if you're not expecting it to subtly knock itself off through the night. It is effective. My symptoms were extreme and relentless and it has absolutely helped me.

Excellent. I have the device in the lounge and it seems to really help with seasonal hay fever. It is quiet and non-intrusive although I'm not sure that I could actually sleep with it in a bedroom - not that I've tried! The other benefit is that the charcoal filter and/or ioniser seems to be quite effective at removing smells (like doggy smells) leaving the room with a fresh feel. The filters are not overly expensive to replace. The only slight downside I have found is that the unit turns itself off after approximately 12 hours so it can't be left running continuously. Highly recommend.
