Customer Ratings & Reviews

Air smells good and doesn’t take up much space. Easy and fast to set up. I keep the speed at 2 to sleep nice white noise.anything higher to much noise.

I had purchased the Bissell air220 because I'm moving into an older house that has a certain smell due to having a dog and wanted to get an air purifier to help "clean" the air in the house. As far as unboxing and setup, it's very simple! The auto mode is a great feature. The only feature I wish it had was a HEPA filter but that would make the cost of the device more so I can't complain. So far, the unit works as advertised and my allergies aren't acting up as much as they used to.

Absolutely love this. So easy to set up and use. Replacing filters will be so easy with the front access. I love that it is so easy to move around.

I’m rating 5 stars so far, with the understanding that We have only had this for about a month. It looks great in my opinion, style is awesome. I notice that if you spray perfume or something, even in a nearby room, the numbers change to indicate that it has detected something and is cleaning the air. Very quiet on lowest setting, if for some reason you would need the highest setting you would experience a definite higher noise level and air volume out of the top. Color settings are nice and it goes dark at night.

Seems to be working just fine. Easy to set up. It is quiet. Already purchased replacement filters.

This has helped with air quality very Quiet. We have a cat and dog and this helps with allergies

Very good produce. Great price. Make your life healthy.

Easy to use, quiet, has automatic night mode. Has light indicator of air quality. However, parts are plasticky. Otherwise, decent unit.

Easy to put together. Quiet; kinda lulls you to sleep. Helped w the nighttime allergy issues.

Operating formats easy to activate. Default mode extremely quiet. Simple to change purifying panels. "Scandinavian" design compliments room ambiance.

Love the units. I would say the 1000 sq feet is a stretch for heavy polluted home with smoking or heavy dust. It is more along the lines of 700 sq feet. Even in a smaller area I would recommend 2 units just so one doesn't work to hard. We smoke so they are constantly running. For the non smoker though the unit should run quietly after the initial startup. Remember to take the plastic off the filters before starting. I had one upstairs and one downstairs but brought them on the same level. I will be purchasing another one to place back on the second level.

This is energy star compliant and so ComEd offered a $50 rebate. That, combined with the fact that this does not use a HEPA filter, makes it a great value. We needed this to primarily remove odors and the large charcoal filter does that. It auto senses air quality and adjusts fan speed - it ramps up when we’re cooking which is great. No HEPA filter means that replacements are a bit cheaper. Looks great and is quiet.

There are a lot of thoughtful features built-in to this air cleaner. Initial set-up couldn’t be simpler. The 3 layers of filters are conveniently located in the front of the machine, just inside the front cover. The front cover unsnaps at the top with a gentle tug and rotates down. This exposes the 3 filters (one is an activated charcoal filter). Once you remove the plastic wrappers from the filters, you close the lid and press the power button. The machine does the rest. Couldn’t be easier. The best part of this air cleaner is the automatic cleaning function. The fan has a user-selectable knob to control the speed of the fan, from 1 – 5, including an Auto setting. Using 1 – 5, is like most all other air cleaners, locks the fan in at this speed until the owner decides to change it. However, the Bissell has its own built-in VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) detector. Set the machine to Auto and it will use its VOC sensor to dynamically adjust the fan speed based on the observed air quality. The machine will continually monitor the airflow through it and either slow the fan down or speed it up to help maintain optimal air quality. Other thoughtful features include an ambient light sensor. The air cleaner will observe the room lighting and will either brighten or dim its displays to match, or if dark enough, shut the displays off completely. Very thoughtful. The Bissell displays a soft blue glow for good air quality, a yellow glow for fair, and a red glow for poor air quality. The light sensor seems to be very accurate. The machine lights up in the morning displaying the current fan speed and a color-coded light to reflect the currently observed air quality and just after dusk, completely shuts off the display to keep from being too obtrusive. The VOC sensor appears to be very accurate. The Bissell was humming away nearly silently at its lowest fan speed setting until I got out a can of paint to touch up some spots in my son’s room. I hadn’t had the paint open more than 15 minutes when I heard the Bissell in the hallway get noticeably louder. Sure enough, the blue light had turned yellow and the machine had increased the fan speed to compensate for the paint fumes. An hour or so later, it slowed back down. Very nice. Bissell claims the machine is good for rooms up to 800 sq. ft. The machine’s dBa is listed as 34 – 51. What does that really mean? I consider myself sensitive to ambient noise and would rather be in a quiet place. This machine isn’t too bad at its minimum fan speed setting. It is about as loud as a quiet conversation. So, if it were in your living room, you wouldn’t have to raise the volume of the TV more than a click or two. But, if the machine detects poorer air quality and speeds itself up, then things change. While quieter than most other machines I’ve used in the past, it gets quite loud and obnoxious. Especially, if competing with the radio, TV, or other music. Bottom line – This is a good product and has several thoughtful features and options. Assuming your indoor air quality is decent, it sits in the corner and goes nearly unnoticed. After about 48 hours, I noticed a significant change in the smell of the house. The machine’s activated charcoal filter does a very good job of getting rid of cooking, latex paint, and other odors that are often in the house. I like this unit quite a bit, it has earned a definite place in my house, just not in my media room. UPDATE – I recently painted the master bath. Even using a low VOC paint, you know there is always that nasty, leftover latex paint smell that seems to last for days. I moved the Bissell from its normal home and locked it in the master bathroom overnight. Setting the fan control to Auto, I let it do its thing. This morning, there is a significant decrease in paint smell. Much, much less than if the paint was to have dried on its own without the Bissell cleaning the air. I was originally going to give it a 4-star review. But, after the noticeable change in air quality in the master bathroom this morning, I am definitely giving it a 5-star rating. Very Impressive!!

Great price for over 1000 feet of coverage. Very Quiet. Seems to help the air.

Liked it,sleeping better with it,cleaner Air ,on Auto i can barely hear it,recommend A+

this is a great product whisper quite and self adjusting to your air quality

I have been using this filter for about 6 months now and my wife and I really like it. It is quiet and adjusts speed by itself when needed. The filters are recommended to be changed about every 6 months so facto that into your purchase. There are 3 filters in this unit. We have it in our living room because it looks cool. You don't have to hide it somewhere.

Works perfect in large rooms. Airfilter is super quiet as well

Nice unit. Very attractive, quiet and seems to be doing a nice job.

Placed near kitchen and living area. Quickly removes odors. Silently purrs.
