Summary: 2 Stars
The Alen A375 UV Air Purifier is the same as the Alen 350 except adds UV light for germs and Bacteria.
I own the following:
An Alen A350 = $349 (3 stages, 400-800 sq. ft) Alen A350 Air Purifier
Alen A375 = $599 (4 stages, 400-800 sq.ft) Alen A375 UV Ultra HEPA Air Purifier
Alive Air Purifier = $319 (9 stages, 865 sq. ft.) Alive Air Purifier
Pro's
1) Has 4 technologies - HEPA, Carbon, Prefilter, UV
2) Runs quiet on low
Con's:
1)You have to buy 2 HEPA filters on auto-ship to maintain the "lifetime warranty" (which will cost $128 a year - even if you don't need it). So the lifetime warranty makes them money.
2) The replacement filters are rather expensive.
3) It seems like a lot of money to go from $349 to $599 just by adding a few UV bulbs.
It does what it says, and I'm glad Alen upgraded the 350 to add UV, however the cost is over the top for this small air purifier.
Customer Review: Expensive box, cheap contents.
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought this filter for our new apartment after several weeks of feeling terrible (congestion, puffy watery eyes, feeling tired, coughing, etc.) because we knew there was some sort of non-hazardous mold and dust combo at the root of it. This puppy looked like it'd do the trick, and for 6 days, we felt awesome. It worked very well! But on day seven the rotator inside this thing literally fell off the axle and ceased to work any longer. We were unable to fix it ourselves, and we found that once we opened up the packaging, we owned it. No returns were permitted, but we were allowed to pay for S+H back to the manufacturer for them to fix it. [...] The problem I have with this item is that the price is six times our cheap filters', and Alen's ghetto manufacturer hotline and inability to provide us with a new, working filter, indicates it shouldn't be worth this much.
UPDATE: Alan (the manufacturer) never called us back after we left 5 messages. We threw our $600 filter into landfil.
Customer Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 2 Stars
Not what I've expected for almost $500. I got it three days ago. It produces ozone smell. On auto mode it can wake you up in the middle of the night because it suddently decides to go full speed. It's not programmable, so you cannot set it up to be turned on two hours before bed time for example like my other ones. Instructions are incomplete and difficult to match with the buttons on the purifier. If the smell doesn't go away, the purifier goes back. I have two other different brand purifiers, I have to admit that they are nosier, but don't smell.Customer Review: 2 Units broken
Summary: 1 Stars
First unit the fan was ridiculously loud (obviously a problem). The motor spindle was loose or something and couldn't be fixed apparently. They sent a whole new unit. The 2nd brand new unit burnt out after 2 weeks. Electronics smelling (even when the unit is turned off, there is a humming noise and electronics burning smell). This item is junk. Obviously a defective line of products.
