If you don’t know which one to pick between them , read on our reviews in the next section so you’ll have some ideas. However, Blueair is also on that side, which makes these two worth mentioning when it comes to air purifiers. Both of them have the features that make them stand out from each other. For instance, Alen’s air purifiers focus on portability and style while Blueair is ideal for larger rooms. The amount of electricity the device uses and how often you have to replace filters.
It is almost impossible to see in pictures, but you should know that it is still bigger than theBreatheSmart FIT50. However, in the world of $650 air purifiers, there are lots of heavier air purifiers out there. The example could be theBlueair Classic 480i– with 33 lbs andAIRMEGA 400– with 24.7 lbs. Personally, with the light weight and a handy handle, I prefer the Alen BreatheSmart more. Alen is really good at releasing armfuls of confusingly-named air purifiers and essentially leaving us to work out the differences. The Alen BreatheSmart Classic is one of those, slotting in between theAlen BreatheSmart FIT50and Alen BreatheSmart 75i – the flagship.
The cheapest filter option doesn’t have an activated carbon filter. During the day, with the purifier set to auto, it occasionally ramped up the alen breathesmart fan speed to higher levels. This creates a lot of noise and can be distracting, especially if working or even watching TV or listening to music.
I have also used it several times in the kitchen to test how effectively it removes cooking odors, and it has also shown excellent results. The activated carbon filter is the last, third stage of filtration. This is the filtering stage that is responsible for neutralizing gases, VOCs, and various other odors. The filter is rectangular in shape and is located under a cover on the front of the air purifier. The FLEX tackles dust, allergens, pollen, fur, pet dander, household odors, cigarette smoke, fires, and VOC fumes from chemicals and aerosol sprays.
That is just similar to the noise level of library, so Alen proudly call the technology WhisperMax. However, the lowest noise level is not as good as the successors, like BreatheSmart FLEXand BreatheSmart FIT50. With more layers of filtration, the heart of this Alen BreatheSmart Classic is now a True HEPA filter – the latest selling point that Alen had just released.
True HEPA filters last 3-5 months longer than standard filters. Alen Air® designed superior filtration that uses medical-grade H13 True HEPA air filters that remove 99.9% of dust, allergens, and harmful pollutants down to 0.1 micron. Alen® offers 4 customizable filters to meet your individual needs. Filter options lasko pedestal fans that remove dust and allergens, and designer panels that come in a range of colors and textures. They have the H13 HEPA main filter that may cost about $100 but needs to be changed only once per year. With other air purifiers, you’re looking at 3-5 filter replacements per year, and a total cost of about $300.
