Product Reviews of Rabbit Air BioGS (model 421A - covers 600 sq. ft.) Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier w/ Germicidal Sterilization- Low Maintenance - Washable Filters!
Product Review: Quiet and does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
The unit is solid and seems to be well-built. Very quiet even on high speed. My wife noticed a difference the first night we used it in the bedroom. It doesn't move a huge amount of air, but it moves enough to help keep her allergies in check. Filters are easy to access, though the front cover has a somewhat flimsy feel to it. My wife has told me to buy another one for the living room.Product Review: Solid and quiet purifier
Summary: 4 Stars
After getting a dog and with allergy sufferers in the house, we needed an air purifier ASAP for our bedroom. the BioGS 421A seemed to fit the bill nicely, and has gotten great reviews - although this purifier seems to be a little over-hyped for what it is. However, it has helped keep the bedroom and surrounding area relatively allergen free for 3 months so far.
Pros:
- Super quiet on low setting
- Filters effectively, controls odor and pet dander well
- Washable and cheap filters (a big plus)
- stand-out design, neat LED screen & remote
- Sensor detects odor and particles (sometimes over-zealously)
- ionizer is nice, and does freshen the air
Cons:
- does not move a whole lot of air, even on the noisy high setting - there are more powerful models available for a similar price.
- LED screen has no dimmer! very bright in the bedroom at night.
- Annoying procedure for setting up the sensor baseline, which can only be done in a "clean" room by and involving unplugging the unit multiple times until you get it right
- Sensor is often tripped erroneously, and starts blasting air for no reason
- ionizer smell is slight but noticeable, and does get tiring after while
Overall, I might have gone with a Sharp Plasmacluster purifier instead of this one if I knew about them beforehand, but this is a nice air filter at a good price.
Product Review: Particulate Measurement tells little unless you know the size you want to measure
Summary: 5 Stars
I am considering purchasing this item and wanted to respond to the reviewer who claimed a particulate test was done on this unit, and it performed unfavorably compared to a cheaper unit. CADR, or clean air delivery rate, measures only the removal of larger particulates than 0.9 microns. The most damaging particulates to our health are not the larger ones, but the small ones which generally only top grade air purifiers can remove efficiently(0.1 to 0.3 microns). Any cheap air filter purifier will beat any expensive good one hands down at a basic "particulate" test - why? These "particulate tests" are of particles larger than .9 microns, and that's where the cheap models perform well. But they won't protect your health like a 0.3 or 0.1 micron micro-filtered proper top grade air purifier will. Of course, the top filters are slower for big particulates, because that's not what they're designed to do. I found this out in the past few days while reading up on the 'net trying to decide what model to buy. I'm rating this 5 'though I don't own it, because 5 is the average rating for it here right now.Product Review: Rabbit air takes on dead mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
UGHHH!!! Dead mouse smell coming from somewhere!! What could be worse? Can't find it, can barely live in my house anymore. Enter the Rabbit Air. In a very short time, the house was livable again. The mouse will dry up eventually, wherever the little creep is, but in the meantime, I can live and breathe again. I like this unit so much, I bought a bigger one, and am giving this one to my Mom for her allergies. Eventually, I intend to buy a 2nd unit for my bedroom, where dogs rule, and smells are just unavoidable.... As advertised, this unit is very quiet. Wish the remote wasn't necessary, but there is a neat remote slot in the top.
My only negative is that I tried to open the battery casing of the remote (don't bother, the battery is in there) and found it IMPOSSIBLE. I can NOT get that thing open no matter what. When the battery runs down, I'll take it to a battery store and let them break their fingernails on it.
And of course, wish there were some reasonable colors. Lime green? Come on!! The Pearl white is decent, but wish they had black or tan or wood grain or something.
Product Review: Love it, Love it, Love it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This air purifier has helped me so much!
We have two cats and I have an allergy to go with them.
It got to the point where I was wanting to get rid of them but it would have hurt my wife so much.
Since we got the Rabbit Air, my allergies are all but gone.
We ran it on high for the first two days and it really made the house smell fresh and clean.
We now run it on high during the day and on auto at night.
Our apartment is 820 sq ft but it keeps the whole house dust and dander free.
I've not had to dust since we got it!!!
However, I now wish that I hadn't been so cheap and would have bought the larger model.
We've had visitors who were so impressed with my Rabbit Air that they bought one for themselves.
