Alen T300

Alen T300 Air Purifier Review Summary

The Good: Stylish and full of features. Has a lifetime warranty and the filter cost is reasonable.

The Bad: No air intake on sides.

The BottomLine: With features you’ll only find in premium air purifiers, the stylish T300 tower air purifier is definitely a good buy. If you want an affordable air purifier for your kid’s room, this is a perfect choice.

What we like about the T300

Slim but packed with features: It has almost all the accessories of  it’s big brother – the high performance A375. The difference is it’s slimmer and is made to clean a smaller area.

Has UV Lamp: It also comes with UV lamp to kill bacteria in your air. Handy if you suspect you have floating molds due to damp carpets, etc.

Cheaper: And unlike many air cleaners, at around $45 to $60, the cost to maintain it is reasonable because apart from 1 UV lamp, there is only 1 filter (pre-filter, HEPA and carbon are combined) to change.

Easy: The T300 comes with digital display and a smart automatic filter change indicator that will let you know when to change your filter. There’s no need to mark your calendar.

Less Worry: Like any other Alen air cleaners :-

• This machine shuts down automatically if the lid is opened. A very important feature if you want to put it in your kid’s bedroom.
• Alen backs it with a lifetime warranty, provided you change the filter every 6 to 9 months. No other air purifier makers back their machines this long.

But we are concerned that:

• This tower air purifier has no air intake on both it’s sides. Thus, it may be less efficient compared to machines with 360 degrees air intake.
• The unit also comes with an ionizer button. Ionizers may emit ozone, which is harmful in large quantity. Alen Corp claims that the ozone this machine emits is far below the limit set by the FDA. If you’re worried, just leave the button switched off.
