Hunter 30714 HEPAtech Small Tower Three Speed Air Purifier with Ionizer

Product Description

Hunter's 30714 HEPAtech Tower Air Purifier is perfect for rooms up to 11 by 13-feet. The pre-filter captures large dust particles, lint, and pet hair before drawing dirty air through a permanently charged HEPAtech filter which captures 99.97-percent of all particles as small as 0.1 micron in size. This model has a separate ionizer that distributes negative ions throughout the room to enhance the cleaning process while freshening the air. Hunter's Whisper-Quiet fan draws air into the unit without the noise associated with many competitive models and its airflow design effectively exhausts clean, purified air back into the room from the top to avoid stirring up settled particles. Replacement filters: 30963/30901 pre-filter.

Customer Reviews

Excellent air purifier, pricey filters!
I really enjoy using this air purifier. I find it's easier to breathe and sleep now that I am using this. From what I've read Hunter is great about standing behind their product. The noise level was certainly as expected. It has Turbo mode, which should not be run for extended periods of time (couple of hours) and also day and night. Day has a noise level somewhere in between the hum of my microwave and the hum of my computer. Night is just a bit louder than my computer fan. I actually love the white noise it creates in the background. It's easy to move around for people of average mobility and strength. I took off one star considering the price of the replacement filters and lack of value priced alternatives. The pre-filter runs $20 and needs to be replaced every 3 months ($80 per year) and the primary filter runs $30 and needs to be replaced twice per year ($60). Altogether that's $140 to keep the air of an 11 x 13 room clean. I feel the filters are way out of line as far as pricing. I buy similar filters (20 x 24 x 1) for $6-8 for my home air conditioner and the primary filter on this air purifier is made of identical material and is only a small fraction of the size yet runs three times as much? It just doesn't make sense.

LOUD and I think it works
I put this in a smelly room to see if it works and the smell went away quickly so despite the previous bad reviews, I am keeping this. The Honeywell 1700 did nothing for more than an hour before I plugged in the Hunter 30714. It definitely cleans the air of smells although the Honeywell ones make more promises e.g. antibacterial. If the low price is due to discontinuation, then I am happy to pay less for something that does the job.

Great for the price
I bought the unit from the gold box because of the price. I didn't expect much, however it works great. The air in my livingroom no longer has pet smells and the dust level is down. The only negative people write about is the noise. Those people are just stupid, it's not very loud, and all air purifiers that work well make nosie.
