I bought this air purifier because of my recent alerrgies to dust. This machine is quiet and easy to set up. The higher settingsw are louder, so I don;t suggest the high settings when youa re sleeping.

We got this to replace a similar unit from Walmart. It looked like this would be substantially better, but I would say it is about the same. This unit is a little louder in the quietest useful mode (there is a quieter mode which probably filters one liter of air per hour.) The problem with these units is that the replacement filters cost almost as much as a new unit if you put a few discounts together. If the replacement filters were reasonable in price, I would more highly recommend this unit. As it is, I can only give it an adequate rating.

It does clean a medium size room from odors with the ionization function on, but it is quite noisy on high and highest fan speed levels (there are 4).

The Delonghi DAP 130 arrived with the delicate front grill slightly dented. Iwas able to pull it back out with a paper clip to restore its attractive modern look. The machine operates well at 4 speeds including a barely audible “sleep” setting. I like the higher settings for the white noise effect in my office. Its hard to know how well it filters the air without a professional testing lab. I haven’t been able to find other reviews regarding its efficacy. Mine was a gift and didn’t come with an instruction manual so I don’t know why there is a separate switch for the ionizer. I assume one would always want the ionizer to be on. It seems to work very well.

I bought this filter hoping it would help address the dust problem I am having at home but after a week of use I see no effect whatsoever on dust. I am not sure what else it is expected to do but it gets a failing grade on this one.
