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.

Customer Reviews

OK Air filter for the price
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.
