hello I use this unit located in the center of my ranch home. It takes care of the living room, dining room and into the hall way. over all it is a good value as it picks up some dog hair and other small fibers besides some dust. It is easy to clean. good luck

It comes with a HEPA filter and a charcoal pre-filter. I would suggest buying a pack of replacement charcoal pre-filters at the time of purchase because they get used up every three months or so. I think that they reccommend it for use in rooms that are 168 square feet (12 by 14 feet). I use it in a larger room, and I think that it does accomplish something (I see less floaties, smell less kitchen odors), but its not as effective as the unit I run in my bedroom, which is a smaller area. If you have serious allergies and this is the solution I would buy a unit that is suggested to run in the size room that you have. If you're a mild allergy sufferer, then it may do well enough for you in a larger room. It comes with a HEPA filter and a charcoal pre-filter.

Actually some of the reviews I saw rated it for 1400 sq ft (which is the size of my house). It seems to work relatively well for that size of a building, but I also have an air purifier that circulates the air flow (which I move from room to room). It also has rollers so it can be moved from room to room if you desire.

I have used it in a very dusty and ash filled area under extreme conditions. the room I use it in is 20' x 8' x 8'. I actually go through a set of filters every 2 months. definitely worth it though.

I have a fairly powerful unit so I did not have a problem with the filter. It is pretty dense so it will reduce some of the airflow. But on the positive side, its easy to keep clean and reuse.

Mine is a large room (combined kitchen, living area). This is a good air cleaner for me.

This is an air purifier for a 250 sq, ft. room. It is not a carbon filter. This is perfect for people with allergies etc.

Probably won't work well for a room that size. No white dust when using the filter and the little ball thing that you can buy that floats in the water.

this is a fairly high out put for a portable humidifier and it does very well (on low fan) in my 1300 sq ft home. I don't know your square footage or how 'tight' your home is, so it's hard to say definitively if this will do the trick.

I use it in my family/sewing room - lower level, no windows. I run it all the time mostly on low . Very quiet. Have had to clean it twice. Hepa filters replacement is expensive but I haven't needed to do that. Have had it 2-3 yrs.

I use one of these in each of my kids bedrooms and they are 15x15 and the purifier seems to be able to keep up on setting 2. I do kick it up to the highest setting when they are asleep, mostly for the white noise.

A HEPA filter air purifier would work better than a Venta. It's primarily designed as a humidifier with the air purifier aspect a secondary function.

I have a 1400 sq ft house. I keep it in the "great room"/kitchen area. It keeps that area clean and fresh and dust free. The odors don't seem to get to the bedroom areas, so it has a very positive effect, but I don't think it purifies as much as the busy area.

Yes, it works for that size room and is so quiet that I am unaware of it. I keep it in my living room and have another humidifier in my bedroom. White dust has never been a problem, but it needs to be cleaned regularly with cotton swabs to avoid build up of particles in the water that build up an orangey residue.

Mai, I've found it to do well in my 600 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment. Occasionally cooking smells will overwhelm the space and it's really annoying when it's from someone else's cooking. After about an hour or so of running it, the air is usually cleared and the space much more enjoyable. If I remember correctly there are 4 carbon filters included with the unit, which they suggest changing every 3 months. Replacement filters are available for separate purchase. The automatic setting is nice as it runs at the quietest speed and then speeds up if it senses the need for more filtration (really kind of freaky when the pet breaks wind and the unit responds several seconds later).

Love my Green Aire. Depending on the fan speed, the higher the speed the noisier it is. But I have owned an alpine air purifyer in the past and find this a quiter machine. I highly recommend!

We have have an open concept living room, which is double that size and has 18 ft. ceilings. I have to say that this helps. It is, of course, not going to take care of such a huge space (mine), but it definitely works well and helps a lot. I only use this kind of filter system in my house, as I haven't found anything else that can work as well. The filters are expensive because I change them often. I do shop around for them. Prices change, so I have to start over each time to find the best price.
