    The Insignia 497 sq. ft. Air Purifier is a great option for anyone looking to improve the air quality in their home. This air purifier is designed to filter particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander, making it ideal for those with allergies or asthma. One of the standout features of this air purifier is its large coverage area of 497 square feet, which makes it suitable for use in large rooms or open-concept living spaces. It also has three fan speeds and a timer function, which allows you to customize the airflow and operation time to your specific needs. The Insignia air purifier uses a True HEPA filter, which captures 99.97% of airborne particles, and has a filter replacement indicator to ensure that you always know when it's time to change the filter. Its sleek design and quiet operation make it a great addition to any home. Overall, the Insignia 497 sq. ft. Air Purifier is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and effective air purifier that can handle large rooms and a variety of airborne pollutants.

    When I first hooked up the air purifier I set it to 4 (the fastest fan mode). The air quality in my room went from 54 pm2.5 to 8 pm2.5 in about an hour. It seems to have a cooling effect to the atmosphere. My room generally feels more breathable and smells way better. I have lots of animals and it does a good job at removing the stench and dander from the air. The air when powered on feels crisp. It for sure has accurate readings, I blew a candle out near it and it instantly detected the smoke and shot up to around 300 PM2.5. I love it, I sleep better and breathe better. It was looks very nice and is very easy to use and set up.

    Solid air filter from Best Buy private label brand. I was looking at this vs the shark and ended up going with this one when it was on promo. It has worked as expected so far but my only concern is length of filter since it has already asked me to change it after 3 months.

    This air purifier is great if you have pets especially furry ones. It keeps the pet fur out of the air and helps with the smell of animals as well. I wish i bought a second one while they were on sale.

    Excelente filter for the price. My son is asthmatic and this filter helps a lot, his condition is way more stable since this is in the house. Super easy to use and the air quality indicator in the front is definitely a plus.
