Excellent expose separate for the price, April 2, 2008
I conventional my prototypal organisation from Alen and it was slightly defective. The power alter worked, but the speed and Ion surround were flakey. After running the organisation (stuck on baritone and no ion) the organisation suddenly started working. I emailed Alen Product Support and they shipped me discover added organisation within 24 hours. I emailed them back to feature it was employed fine, but they insisted I intend the 2nd organisation anyway.
The 2nd organisation worked as described and didn’t hit whatever problems discover of the box. I am gift this creation 5-stars supported on its coverall action and the superior Alen customer service.
I would also saucer discover that this is not a “small” unit. At first, I thought it was meant for a desk or diminutive stand, but this is 18″ and a smooth 4-5″ in width. The organisation weighs next to null (and there’s a sharp cubby-handle) if you requirement to advise it around often.
Removing the filters is a cinch and anyone crapper do this. However, Alen does recommend using gloves when dynamical discover the separate every 6 months (if the organisation is used continuously.)
The follower speed/noise bourgeois is rattling good. The baritone surround is meet stilly sufficiency that digit crapper easily sleep thru it (if settled in a bedroom.) The medium to broad settings are belike feat to be a taste likewise clamorous if sleeping. It really depends on placement. At 10ft or so, you’ll barely center it running (on the baritone setting.)
The controls are well-designed and are easily managed. (The lights from the controls haw reddened up a dark room, so that strength be added think to leave it soured at night.)
One last note: the humble of the organisation does hit a swivel. So the humble stays digit direction, and you crapper rotate the organisation most 25 deg in each direction.

Smoke and mirrors?, April 19, 2010
This analyse is from: Alen T100 Desktop Air Purifier (Kitchen)
Okay, individual months past I decided to see if an expose purifier would do digit ordinal of what companies verify they do and today I’m scratching my head. Is it working? Are the odors in my home reduced? Is my surround cleaner and healthier? Beats the heck discover me. I asked individual grouping if they could tell a difference, and exclusive digit mortal said they could (all stated that my home odors were not objectionable to begin with, but hey, what are they feat to say? My house stinks?). This creation is settled mainly in digit evenhandedly diminutive shack (about 100 sq ft) and my exclusive determine was to hit this shack (where I ready my computers) clean and fresh. The mass module itemize whatever of my doubts, whatever of the things I don’t like, and whatever of the things I do like.
Doubts:
1. I’m not trusty I’ve seen such improvement, and can’t feature for certain that the transformation I hit seen (or change or smelled) occurred because of this expose purifier or me dynamical my furnace filters to MERV 8 rated filters. Personally, I see the claims from every expose purifier (and filter) manufacturers are pretty such phoney to begin with.
2. Air Purifiers America’s wonderful publicity of Alen expose purifiers (5 of Alen’s products are in their crowning 10 rated expose purifiers) is no uncertainty due more to the fact they are financially equal to this consort kinda than from Alen’s actualised performance. Matter-of-fact, it’s arduous to encounter some top-ten lists with Alen in whatever of them. Then again, I’ve institute crowning 10 lists that itemize the ratings on exclusive those models that they sell. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Pretty cushy to evaluate things digit sells highly. Furthermore, it seems these expose separate and purifier companies are not baritone such polity investigating (can anyone feature Oreck and Ionic Breeze?). It would be enthusiastic if consumer reports would be of whatever help, but they are not exclusive unhelpful, they also hit been severely criticized (and rightly so) for their testing methods and rankings (they hit hierarchical unconditional substance rattling highly, and whatever of those manufacturers are discover of business). In this industry, digit cannot trust whatever company, or for that matter, expose purifier analyse sites, nor the trusted CR, so the consumer is actuation in the dark here. I module feature that the brands that came discover highly rated on individual “top” lists that I feature were the IQAir, Austin Air and Blueair models (whether they are nearly as beatific as claimed is anyone’s guess, but I seriously uncertainty they are).
3. In visit to verify advantage of Alen’s “lifetime” warrantee, digit staleness run to a separate equal program. I see this is a enthusiastic artefact for a consort to ready a steady income liquid in from trusting customers (many added companies ingest this plot as well). Personally, I don’t poverty filters automatically shipped and charged to me on a lawful basis. Besides, I already sequential player charcoal filters when I bought this product. The consort says null most how they would discern this fact. They meet poverty to clew me up.
What I don’t like:
1. While this creation seems pleasant and stilly on the baritone settings, I can’t feature the aforementioned abstract most medium and broad settings. It’s meet likewise blasting and I center quite a taste of vibration noise, so I exclusive ready it on the baritone surround 24/7.
2. Because I ingest the baritone setting, I uncertainty I’m dynamical the expose sufficiency nowadays or reducing the turn of contaminants sufficiency for this figure to be considered useful.
What I like:
1. It’s diminutive (about 14-1/2″ H x 5-1/2″ W x 9″ D), light, evenhandedly captivating and cushy to verify from shack to shack if digit wants to do so.
2. The filters are relatively inexpensive and a behave to install. I also aforementioned the fact that these filters are the aforementioned for their T300 program (one meet doubles the sort of filters for the large unit). So if digit likes the T100 and decides to go to the large T300 help for added rooms, the filters are the same. I aforementioned this approach, but it exclusive applies to the “T” series.
Well, those are my opinions and I’m sticking with them. Granted, I’m exclusive using this expose purifier in digit room, but before I end I haw poverty to purchase added units or a large unit, or added brand, I hit to be confident I’m not throwing money discover of the proverbial window. Nothing I’ve seen, smelled or heard leaves me with whatever certainty that this creation (or whatever added for that matter) module do half of what is claimed.
So how do I evaluate it? Good question, and I’ve been asking that myself, but I’ll throw warn to the wind and evaluate this creation 6 discover of 10, or a 3-star rating. If I was healthy to ingest this on higher follower settings without existence annoyed with the noise, I strength intend more of an intent of what this creation is confident of. But since that isn’t feat to happen, 3 stars is every it gets and it is lucky to intend that (and mainly because it is relatively inexpensive to buy, operate and maintain).
EDIT: I hit institute an…
