Asked 4 years ago by Montana.

• A:Answer I keep it running 24/7, I think I might need to change the filter a little sooner, but I think it's worth it. My boy has started sleeping all night. He was so miserable before .

Q: QuestionDoes this unit get rid of cigarette smoke

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes it gets rid of cigarette smoke. I live in Apt where someone walks around with cigarette and smokes, which I hate. Few times I was caught off guard and smelled smoke. So I shut all the windows and turned on the purifier. Although it's little loud (wouldn't turn on during sleep), it got rid of cigarette smell. It works.

Q: QuestionIs this air purifier quiet?

Asked 4 years ago by Teddy.

• A:Answer It's loud if you ask me. I wouldn't turn on during sleep. I'd turn on during wake time to get rid of the smell (cooking, cigarette etc) but would turn it off after smell is gone. It's not automatic either so it's totally manually operated, would have to turn on and off by hand. Little inconvenient if you ask me. For price of $79.99 compared to $100 over prices for other ones we chose this one. It's okay for now.
