Efficient, Good Looking&Healthy
Author's Rating:
Pros: Efficient; handsome; lightweight; quiet; good controls; reasonably priced; nice features.
Cons: None, except unit delivered with missing foot.
The Bottom Line: If you wish to avoid electrostatic type cleaners, then this should be your choice in HEPA-style purifiers. Probably the best air cleaner available in this price range.

Originally costing more than $400., I was not sure that I wanted to invest that much money into another air purifier, so I did some research and found the Whirlpool Whispure...

Whispure 510: It may not be pretty, but it works!
Author's Rating:
Pros: True HEPA filter, works very well, fairly quiet on low setting.
Cons: It's kind of big and plain looking, louder than I'd like, expensive filters.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this product. I find it very plain and plastic-y looking, but it works very well.
Review: I spent way too many hours researching this at work. We live in an older house surrounded by beautiful flowering plants. Between the dust and the pollen, my wife oftentimes had problems with her allergies. I won't lie, I was immediately drawn... Read Full Review by monky213, Sep 20, 2006

Review: Pure fresh air with whisper quiet operation is what I was promised by Whirlpool and that's exactly what I got.

Excellent (non-exotic) Air Purifier
Author's Rating:
Pros: Excellent conventional HEPA filter; it's not silent but probably as quiet as you'll find
Cons: I wish it were quieter still, but perhaps this wish isn't realistic
The Bottom Line: Probably the most effective and quietest air purifier you'll find (it's not silent, but I think the truly silent purifiers aren't effective)
Review: I started running HEPA filters on the advice of an allergist, since I suffer from hayfever. My goal was to find an effective unit that would be as quiet as possible. There are many competing designs, both for individual rooms or an entire structure, but... Read Full Review by equusd, Apr 20, 2005
