Great small unit
I was pleased that all I had to do was pull it out of the box, take off 2 small pieces of protective plastic and plug it in to start working. I bought 2 of these for our toddler's allergies and my own. Very quiet on high setting and has a 'smooth' sound not a rattling chopping sound. My only complaint is that the Amazon description notes 130 sq ft. but the box says 80 sq feet. The rooms they are being used in are 110 and 100 sq ft. I really would have opted for a bigger size had I known these were rated for a smaller room. It may seem like not much of a size difference but cleaning the dirty L.A. air out of my son's room is important to me. Overall very pleased - just note the unit actually says it is intended for 80 sq ft.
Nice little air filter
I sort of have a "thing" for air filters - I have one in every room of my apartment! I feel that they noticeably improve the air quality in my apartment, and I also like the white noise they provide.
This is a nice little air filter. Setup is very easy - simply remove the air purifier from the packaging and plug it in.
Because it is fairly small, this should not be used in a large room like a living room - this is more suited to a bedroom, which is where I use mine. This is also a great unit for a bedroom because it is very quiet (hence the name Whispure). It has three fan settings, and I use mine on medium at all times and have no problems sleeping. Also, this air filter has simple display with buttons that barely light up, which is also a nice feature for a room you want to keep dark for sleeping. I also have a Hoover air filter and that display is so bright that I would need to cover it up before sleeping in the same room. This unit has none of those...
Filter Lasted Only 3 Weeks Before the Indicator Light Came On
The main reason I am only giving this 3 stars is that the HEPA filter replacement light came on after only 3 weeks of use (approx. 5 hours per day) in a small room. The unit worked VERY well for the period of time it was in use, but requiring a new HEPA filter after only 3 weeks in use is unacceptable in terms of performance.
I currently own 3 different brands of air purifiers in my home, with approx. 6 units throughout my home. As an asthma sufferer, I have to keep the air quality in my home very high. My favorite brand is the Blueair, although, this Whirlpool worked incredibly well and could certainly compete. The problem is that there is no way most people can afford to replace these filters if they will need changing this frequently. I just don't understand how this could already need a filter change and the filters aren't cheap. I will purchase a new HEPA filter for this unit and give it another go. If the results improve, I will come back and amend my review, but if I...
