Alen A350 Review

Alen A350 Air Purifier Review Summary

The Good: The 3 in 1 filter is effective and easy to change.

The Bad: The top 2 settings are loud.

The Bottomline: If  your home does not have any serious smokes, mold or fungus problems, seriously consider the A350. It is effective, affordable and with the auto-shutdown feature you don’t have to worry if you dog or kids knocked it down while running around.

What we like about the A350

Easy to change filter: Unlike many air cleaners, there is only 1 filter to change (pre-filter, HEPA and carbon are combined) and you don’t need any special tools to do it.

Filter Indicator: To make sure you don’t forget, there’s a filter change indicator on it’s digital display.

Fan settings: There are 4 fan speeds. We suggest you use the lowest fan setting during your sleeping time.

Remote Control: Unlike it’s more expensive siblings, you’ll find a remote control to help you set the machine from the comfort of your bed.

Save Space: If your don’t like leaving it on the floor, you can mount it on your wall.

Optional Skins: And if you hate the plain look, there are 6 bright, funky skins for the machine ( older folks may hate the bright colors though!).

Less Worry: One of the biggest advantage of this air purifier is a peace of mind.

• Firstly, the machine shuts down automatically if the lid is opened. Very important if your have small kids or dogs.
• Secondly, the company backs it with a lifetime warranty if you change the filter according to the recommended time.

But we are concerned about :

• Noise: You may want to keep it at any of the 2 lowest settings if you’re going to sleep. Sleeping with the machine at the highest speed may feel like sleeping in a wind tunnel.
• Filter costs: The filter cost is at par with many other air purifiers that covers an area this big. You’re looking at $90 – $120 a year.
• Ionizer: The unit comes with an optional ionizer function. Ionizers may emit ozone, which is harmful in large quantity. The company claims that the ozone this machine emits is 92% below the limit set by the FDA. But if you’re still worried, just turn the ionizer off.
