cadr: Does this have a cadr rating like the other air purifiers?

No but it has the same fan speed as the Winix 5300 at 106 cfm. This is pretty low but fan speed is only half of the equation. You can see that the 5300 has a very good CADR rating despite the lower fan speed compared to many other models. It would be nice to see what this unit does.

Yes, we just purchased a home that had been "winterized" which means no airflow for weeks. It smelled a little musty, especially in the basement. I turned the central AC fans on and pointed this at the air intake with fan on high and ozone on low. Next morning when I returned to check on it the entire house smelled absolutely clean.

The AP45130L and the AP51030K share most of the same features (True Hepa, Large Room size, sleep mode, etc...) which is a great thing for the APR45130L because the AP51030k has won consumer reports #1 ranking in air purifiers that last 4 times running. The key differentiating features are: - LED display gives you a readout of the current air quality status - Remote controllable - VOC Sensor (VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compound) automatically detects VOC's, dust, pollen and dander in the air and will automatically boost the cleaning speed of the air purifier to get the VOC level back down. An example of this feature would be if you had the purifier on in the kitchen and you clean your counters with a bleach spray, the APR45130L will pick up the chemical in the air and boost the cleaning speed until the chemicals have been removed from the air. Hope this helps!

Hi Dawn, Happy to help :). Yes, the ozone generator effectively eliminates musty and damp odors. The purifier cleans by producing activated oxygen (O3) which oxidizes airborne contaminants, odors, airborne bacteria, etc to clean the air. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can help with anything else :).

Yes, the chemical odor is actually ozone being released from the machine. If the odor seems overwhelming then the purifier may be set too high for the square footage of the area it is in. Try backing the purifier down to 750 or to the RCI setting using the purifier minus button on the unit or on the remote. Remember to only use the away setting if there will be no one in the house for the amount of time the automatic timer is set on the away setting. The away mode releases a lot of ozone and it could make you feel dizzy or have a headache. But, the odor is normal. It comes from the square white ozone plate in the back of the unit, which you will see when you perform the maintenance. This is my third machine. Not, because there is anything defective but because my friends keep buying my old ones from me.

It was rated 110 on the CADR rating guide which is pretty good compared to other filter ratings

you could have a bad unit, but the 1st few days I had it, the readout did say poor, and after a couple of days of running on auto, it cleared up the air and usually runs on good, unless I'm cleaning (it doesn't like the swiffer scents and thinks it's VOC) or cooking some times. I always have it running on Auto, which is normally on the lowest setting with a readout of Good air quality.

Hi! I'm not sure, because I bought this filter for the Hamilton Beach True Air Odor Eliminator plug-in pet air purifier. If you look at the picture of thisfilter replacement product and see the purifier that is encircled, that is what I have. I have never used the 3 stand-up products that are also pictured on this filter replacement box. Sorry, but at least least you know which product I have used with this filter. It's a good filter. No one can tell I have a cat in my house. Hope this info helps!

That was my second route to handle my issues . I called the "Manufacturer". . They informed me that they don't produce any models with the model # I read to them from the tags. I also gave them the serial # ,and was informed there was no such number allocated from their company. Both these tags were said to be fraudulant... So of course their was no warranty to go back on. I truly hope you look to purchase a purifier somewhere else to avoid what I had to go through.

I only used it for about a day before reading the the FDA warning about these types of air cleaners, but I didn't notice any soot. www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html‎

Per the flyer for this product in the link I'm including below(if amazon will allow the link), on page 2 it says "Produces no ozone, fumes or other secondary contaminants" http://jonecacorporation.com/UVC_Air_Sanitizer/UVCAIR.pdf

I cannot give you an absolute answer as I have had my Air Purifier for only a little over a year. But I can say that it has been used continuously since I received it.

I ended up getting another Honeywell cleaner - Honeywell 50100 Enviracaire Air Purifier and have been very satisfied with it.

I do not know if the air purifier emits ozone. I do know that they do a great job, especially if you have animals in the house. I take the first filter (not the hepa) off 2 times a month and vacuum the dustoff it and it is thick...you can't even see the brown color filter thru it. From what I have read, an air purifier with an ionizer should be avoided. This whirlpool uses a fan motor and does not have an ionizer, to pull the air in. The hepa filter looks just like it did when it was new so the first filter catches most of what it pulls in. I am not worried about ozone with this model. Hope this helps.

I don't know, as I haven't had that problem in the room where I use the air purifier. All I can say about it is that my allergies are much better since I bought the purifier. I use it in the bedroom.
