Customer Reviews of Rabbit Air BioGS (model 421A - 600 sq. ft.) Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier w/ Germicidal Sterilization - Low Maintenance - Washable Filters!, Lime Green
Customer Review: Great air purifier!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my first Rabbit Air BioGS two years ago to put near my cats' litter box. It works so well, few visitors know we have cats until they spot them. I have also moved it to the kitchen when I am preparing aromatic foods (like fried fish) and it works pretty well at taking this odor out of the air too. This takes a while and I usually have to let it run for about an hour to really get the scent out of the air. Because it worked so well, I purchased one for work. I work in a laboratory that has both chemicals and particulates in the air and it also does an excellent job at keeping the air very clean. I don't notice the noise but there is usually lots of activity in the rooms where the two units are placed so it might be noticeable in a bedroom where you are trying to sleep. The autodetection system seems to work very well too and I notice it goes on at home when I am doing laundry (spraying pretreatment solutions onto clothes) or when I change the kitty litter (dust).Customer Review: Great product, with the one drawback
Summary: 5 Stars
Same thing everyone else said, very quiet, works great on killing odor, built pretty solid, easy to use... the one drawback is the very bright screen at night. My solution was to just put a piece of foil draped over the top to cover it, works like a charm and simple to remove (don't need to tape it if you just mold it over the top middle). Worth every penny though.Customer Review: Rabbit Air Take Me Away!
Summary: 5 Stars
A 5-star review for a air purifier that has done the job for nearly 18 months now. I am the type of reviewer who waits and waits and waits before I review something (unless it is a meal). Why? I don't care how the product works for you in that first week or month, no, I want to know if it stands the test of time. I am happy to say that the Rabbit Air does just that. I thought long and hard about what purifier to order, but when I came across the Rabbit Air and the positive reviews (when I order, I thought I found the one.
The best thing about this is when I fart, Rabbit Air knows and kicks into gear to let me know that I do indeed stink. Seriously, there are two monitors on the machine. One is for particles in the air and the other is for odor. The sensor picks up what you (or whatever) is laying down and turns up the volume. The machine is pretty damn quiet in normal mode, but when it has to kick into turbo, you know it's on. That isn't a problem though because it clears the air and quiets down, letting you know all is clear. Yes, the display is bright, but it sits 5 feet from my bed and doesn't bother me. The remote is awesome. And the best part are the filters. I usually vacuum them before the light comes on to tell me to clean them, but unlike so many other machines there is no need to be replacing filters all the time. I run mine 24/7. 24/7 for the last 17 and 1/2 months. Beat that.
And yes, I am breathing easier. I live in Los Angeles, so I need all the help I can get. Rabbit Air delivered!
Customer Review: Excellent Air Purifier
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
Compared to most other air purifiers this one looks a lot better due to the modern design and the great looking LCD.
Has an odor and particle/dust sensor for those who use it on auto setting.
It is indeed extremely quiet on the lowest setting even enough to be called dead quiet. I am quite picky with noise level and demand everything to be near silent.
Silence was a key factor in my purchase! I could not stand that other companies advertise "super quiet" when they were still quite loud.
I know it has already been mentioned several times, but even I had to try it... Yes, farting at the air purifier makes the odor sensor go to red and kicks the fan to the max.
Do not intentionally blast a packet of smelly air at the sensor or it will be on red/orange for quite sometime. So do not fart at the sensor with your bare bottom... or it will be running on max for more than 20 minutes. Could be just an issue with my air purifier though.
Cons:
Sometimes the sensor is too sensitive and goes up for no apparent reason such as right now... I have been in my room (closed door) for over a hour and the air purifier has sped up several times, on the auto setting, due to the hyperactive odor sensor.
Has a flimsy front cover (plastic, but not really a big deal.
Perhaps it is best to stay in a bedroom or a smaller room since it isn't as effective in larger room (living room for example).
Cannot turn off or dim the LCD brightness which makes it somewhat annoying if you sleep with it on. You would kind of expect an expensive air purifier to have this feature.
Remote has to be aimed directly at the unit and doesn't have long range.
Conclusion:
An air purifier that is almost perfect for a bedroom (the only issue is with the inability to turn off / dim the LCD)!
Other thoughts:
One user mentioned the difficulty in taking out the remote's battery. The best way would be to study the manual again (look at the arrows) and once you know how to do it properly it is extremely easy. Basically you have to push the little clamp to the right and at the same time use your fingernail to pull the battery holder out.
Another user said the loudest fan setting is extremely quiet. Well I have to say at the max, it is quite loud and pretty much unbearable for longer periods. I am not sure if that user is somewhat deaf, but you will get hearing damage with prolonged periods at that volume...
Edited: Does have a 5 year, not a 1 year warranty! My apologizes.
Customer Review: I've turned into a meter reader!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have spent money on air purifier's over the years. That does not include time spent researching product specifics. I decided to go big on this one and it was money well spent. When I first got this I set it up in less than 5 minutes and hit start. Red light! I though it was broken but then I realized it was red lighting the air in the room After a few minutes it became a green light and peace was in the air. This thing cracks me up at how it really does what it is supposed to. How often does a product actually exceed expectations? Change the babies stinky diaper within 5 feet of it and the red light for odor kicks in and there it goes. The dog comes into the living room and lays down with a plump and the red light for particulate kicks in. A friend who is a smoker came to visit, not smoking in the house of course, but when he sat in the chair by the air filter the light started creeping up to orange and I knew he was one polluted dude. The list goes on and on. I have to rate running the vacuum as my all time favorite though. I watch the lights to see if a circumstance will kick it into high gear.
It is really disheartening to see how the air quality fluctuates in my home. The flip side is we have a weapon now and all feel better for it. I want one for all my living spaces. I wish the company made one for a car. I think what sold me was the reviews and the fact it has a nano silver filter. I am a nurse in wound care and nano particle silver is the magic bullet for infected chronic wounds so it must work in an air filter. For all the people who talk about noise I can't see it. The noise is a quiet wisp and a little more for turbo. The noise is FRESH, clean air and that is a beautiful sound.
