Amazon.com Product Description
Air purifiers can be noisy things, often forcing you to decide between clean air and quiet conversation. That's why Hunter designed the Quietflo air purifier for optimal cleaning performance without the overwhelming din from the fan. Designed for rooms up to 197 square feet, this purifier's permanently charged HEPAtech filter effectively captures 99.97 percent of all those nasty particles down 0.3 microns in size. A separate ionizer can be used to enhance the cleaning process. A contemporary tower design takes up less floor space while the unit's carbon prefilter reduces cooking, tobacco and pet odors and captures larger dust particles, lint and pet hair. Dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, and other irritating allergens don't stand a chance, thanks to this HEPAtech's effective tower airflow design. An elevated exhaust system pushes clean air out the top of the unit without disturbing particles that have settled on the floor.

More great features: Digital controls and LCD display make it easy to select between multiple settings and indicate when it's time to replace that filter. An interlock safety switch automatically shuts off unit if the front grill is removed during operation. And, a NiteGlo light illuminates the screen with soft amber glow without lighting up the room. Plus, this unit's quiet, 3-speed fan ensures optimal cleaning performance without waking up sleepers. An ergonomic handle allows for simple, one-handed operation to open grill and access filter. And, a snap-in front grill makes filter replacement fast, clean and easy. The vertical tower design keeps controls up off the floor and requires less bending to operate fingertip controls. The design also takes up less space in your room. Hunter covers this product with a limited 5-year warranty.

OK Air filter for the price 3
This same unit locally at the home improvement stores is about $25 higher, plus tax of course, so the Amazon deal with free shipping, a $25 promotional deal at the time, and no tax, net price 124.95 delivered to my door saved me about $40. Ordered first week of Dec, said ETA would be after Jan 1, but actually got here much faster about 3 weeks sooner which was great.

My issues with it: Replacement filters and prefilters are expensive, hopefully they last a long time. It's not very quiet flowing on med, and high speed is too noisy to use for my living room. I have to keep it set on the lowest fan speed setting to be quiet enough to live with, so at that rate it isn't moving as much air as I had hoped it could do quietly as the Quietflo name and "whisper quiet" in the description implies. It also makes an audible hum sound I can hear when it runs, and vibrates a little like the fan or motor is slightly off-balance, even on low, along with the air rushing sound. The main HEPA filter fits very loosely and when I took it out after a couple of weeks I can clearly see some traces of fine dust leaking around the edges of the filter seal. They could certainly improve that seal with little or no additional cost. Only thing that presses and holds the filter into the frame it fits in is the charcoal odor prefilter resting against it when the front grill is attached. They should have made it so the HEPA main filter is better secured and sealed. But it doesn't leak dust too bad. An OK filter for the price.

Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for rooms up to 14 by 14 feet, this air purifier changes the air up to six times per hour and provides a CADR of 127 for smoke, 123 for dust, and 127 for pollen. Its effective three-speed whisper-quiet fan draws air into the unit without excessive noise, and exhausts clean, purified air back into the room. The sleep setting offers quiet night-time operation, the active setting works best for daily use, and the turbo-clean timer can be used for short periods of maximum air cleaning. The purifier also comes equipped with a PermaLife permanent cleanable filter that effectively captures 99.5-percent of all airborne particles as small as 0.5 microns in size that pass through the filter (such as dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, and other irritating allergens). Even more, a separately controlled ionizer distributes negative ions throughout the room to speed up the cleaning process.

For 30-percent better odor reduction, the unit's separate replaceable carbon prefilter reduces cooking, tobacco, and pet odors, while also capturing larger dust particles, lint, and pet hair from dirty air. Other highlights include digital controls and an LCD display; a NiteGlo light that illuminates the screen with a soft amber glow; filter clean/change indicators (PermaLife filter can be vacuumed clean every four to six months); automatic safety shut-off; and a snap-on front grill for simple prefilter replacement. A convenient remote control and a replacement 30901 prefilter come included.

Works Well!4
This purifier has all but kept my pet allergy at bay and has collected a large amount of dust/debris/animal hair that's been flying around in my air system. I leave it on all day and night.

The prior review stated that a ring at the base destroyed their carpet. This product is designed to gather in dirty air and spit out fresh air - not all of the dust is going to get pulled in and some WILL collect at the base - but unless you vacuum once per year, this is no problem at all. Just vacuum your carpet regularly.

I have light carpet (Mohawk I think) and it's fine. There is a ring where the unit was sitting, but this is from the base sitting in one spot for a while - much like a table leaves an indent in the carpet that comes up after a time.

This product does NOT get 5 starts because the filters are hard to come by. I have to order mine online since Home Depot / Lowes / Target / WalMart / PriceClub (and derivatives) do not carry it.

I've also seen other sites that say the controls are difficult. It's like a cheap car with automatic transmission from the 80's - 3 speeds and an overdrive (psuedo 4th speed).

Oh - and it comes with a remote - how can you go wrong?

Finally - the price. Amazon's price is ridiculous - Home Depot and Lowes regularly sell these things for $180. Occasionally they have 50% off sales. So, get the filters online, but definitely buy the thing in a store.

This air purifier damaged my new carpet!1
The Hunter PermaLife 30756 is a poorly designed product and I absolutely do NOT recommend it. We have had Holmes purifiers in our house for over 12 years to help keep my husband's cat allergy at bay. I decided to upgrade the one in our lviing room to a newer tower model for space and asthetic reasons and purchased the Hunter PermaLife Tower Air Purifier 30756 this past May. I thought the roughly 5 yr life of the filter would offset the cost of the unit and all was well and fine... we were very happy with the performance of the unit. It's a tad noisy on the medium fan speed level and for optimum function you have to vacuum the filter about every 10-14 days (we leave our windows open most of the year so other climates and with or without our 2 cats may differ.)

Last week, we cleared the living room of furniture to have our not quite one-year-old light grey carpeting cleaned and I was shocked to see a brownish ring where the air purifier had been. I do not move all the furniture each time, but vacuum my carpet at least twice a week and had only moved the air purifier less than 6 times since May. I vacuum very late at night, and due to the lack of lighting, I hadn't notice the build-up of damage to the carpet.

I read the entire manual and no where does it mention the vent near the bottom of the unit that I found after discovering the discoloration. My new carpeting looks awful in a very obvious area of the living room. Spot treating and machine cleaning did lighten the stain by about half but you can still see an approx. 8 inch ring. Hunter Company covers itself in the warranty; "they are not responsible for damages caused directly or indirectly" by their product for more than the actual product price. So much for $6000 of special order extra wide carpeting that isn't even paid off yet.

Next time, I'll be sure to inspect near the base for hidden small vents before purchasing a tower air purifier.

Hunter 30756 PermaLife Tower Air Purifier with 3-Speed Fan4
1) Tower air purifier is somewhat noisy on its fast setting and a distraction on the "Turbo" setting.
2) Would like to be able to purchase an extra cleanable hepa filter but Hunter makes it difficult to buy. Their website and the product
manual which comes with the unit doesn't even mention the possiblity of buying an extra in case the supplied "lifetime" one is accidently damaged during cleaning or handling.
3) The automatic guage which tells you when to replace the prefilter and the when to clean the main hepa filter works on the accumulated time the unit has been running since the last replacement or cleaning. This may cause you to be late in doing maintaince on the filters if the unit is filtering air that has more particulates per unit/volume than what the air quality engineers designed the unit to treat.
