- A: AnswerIt sounds like you're experiencing some issues with the Insignia™ 497 Sq. Ft. HEPA Air Purifier. Here are a few points to consider: 1. Air Quality Indicator: The red light and high readings (200 to 300) suggest that the air quality in your room is poor. This could be due to the presence of multiple kids and animals, which can increase the amount of dust, dander, and other particles in the air. 2. Filter Life: The filters in air purifiers can indeed go quickly, especially in environments with high levels of pollutants. The Insignia air purifier has a filter replacement indicator that alerts you when it's time to change the filter, typically after about 2,000 hours of use. 3. Comparison with Other Brands: If another brand's purifier is maintaining a lower reading (around 40) in the same environment, it might be more efficient or have a higher capacity for handling pollutants. 4. Maintenance: Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the pre-filter and ensuring the purifier is running at an appropriate speed, can help extend the life of the filters and improve performance. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
