It works great and I can tell the difference in my breathing! I got lucky and happened to buy it at the store before all of the smoke from the wildfires rolled in. I am lucky I did. The unit is a little loud on speed 5 (the highest), but on 3 or 4 it is more quiet and does the trick. It seems to be doing a great job filtering out the smoke, pet dander, and the rest. I am sleeping better, too, which is wonderful.

I love it! It really helps get rid of allergies inside my house, and helps my asthma,and I am able to sleep well. We enjoy the fresh air. We have two of these my daughter really like! It helps her fall asleep too. I need to buy another one soon for my son’s room. I should have known that this is really worth every penny I should have purchase this a long time ago. Thanks for this miracle machine. I recommend this to my friends, and they bought it, and loving it too.

Recently I ,purchase air purifier Honeywell but it was too small for my bedroom to really filter the area in my bedroom real good, so when I seen the germguardian tower ,on sale at Best Buy, knew I had to get one went to the Best Buy, in Bridgeton ,they only had one left and I was the lucky person to be the one to buy it, I took it home put it in my bedroom and I noticed a different in air quality immediately it works real good it's quiet all the way up to level three anything past that level it can make a little noise but other than that it works great money well spent.

I bought this during wildfire and it helped clear the smoky smell. It’s only effective for small bedroom or small room.

I use the GermGuardian Elite Collection 167 Sq. Ft Tower Air Purifier in our master bedroom. It has several fan speed settings and it runs quietly. It is easy to clean the carbon filter, and I am very happy with the quality and performance of this air purifier.

It speaks in Morse Code

When it comes to allergies acting up, I am no stranger. At the time I bought this I had two dogs, and grudgingly 2 cats. All of whom sleep in the bedroom when I am sleeping. This was my way to mitigate waking up with allergies, asthma and a myriad of allergy related nonsense that only those who have animals can understand. Did it work as advertised? Absolutely. However after a year or so, it now has this bizarre thing that it is doing. It is apparently doubling as a radio as it is giving off Morse code. Little Morse code like chirps which I thought might be the motors in it, but after cleaning it thoroughly it is entirely electronic and very very peculiar. While I do not have a way of deciphering the Morse code, I do understand patterns and what is peculiar is that the patterns Change from day to day. If I were to hazard a guess, it is actually a robot from the future trying to tell its counterparts that the air quality in the 21st century could use some improvement.
Does it work? Absolutely. Do you need to do much to get it going? No. It’s pretty simple to use. The filters are fairly inexpensive for what they are, and for as well as it cleans the air, it works amazingly well after being subjected to the level of pet dander in my house which has been described as being “Biblical” in proportions.

I managed to get ahold of this guy during wildfire/smoke season. Not sure how it was at the store, but I'm forever grateful. It definitely helped keep the air in the house much cleaner, and since then I've used it in my daughter's room when she is home from college for her allergies. Not overly large, and it's very quiet on the lower settings, not super loud on the highest setting. It's been great so far, I'm hoping I won't need it for wildfire smoke again, but who am I kidding? I live in fire country.

Very helpful and knowledgeable Best Buy associate took time to explain the difference in the variety of brands, models, etc. I went with this one as it seemed to be a "mid-range" brand when it comes to features, ratings and pricing. After about a month of use it seems to be affective; I can tell a difference in the air in the room. I purchased one for both bedrooms in my apartment. The units have an attractive design and take up very little space. The 5-speed fan is great - on low it is barely audible and all the way up it's great for white-noise when going to bed. Highly recommend.

Air is obviously lighter and fresh! I would of liked that it covered more sq feet. I love the UV option and 5speeds. UV light is bright so I’m the evening it has to come off.

Outstanding product with amazements. The Outdoors is filled with smoke odor and the air quality is low. This purifier changes the quality of the air in the house as well lowers the heat temperature. I purchased this item as a house warming gift for a new homeowner and one for myself. It serves as two functions for the price of one, as well as it diffuses the air from bacteria and viruses. It also saves on electricity when running it with a temperature regulated air conditioner. A house fan runs well lowering the temperature in the area with it.

We have had this Air Purifier for over a month and it has done a good job in the area of the house it is located in. The reduction of dust is amazing. There are five fan speeds and it is very quiet on the low speed. Other features include UV-C and timer. So far it has functioned well and met our expectations.

Currently own three of these units. I have one on each level of the house. One in each of the following area: family room, master bedroom, and living room. These are quieter and have lasted much longer than previous brand that I have used in the past. Easy to clean and maintain. Well worth the cost.

Very nice looking unit , not very noisy compared to many i have owned ! Seems to take all the dust that is in my house after a year of not having an air filter i would say thats a lot of catching up to do . And knowing it disinfects air as it goes through is really very important these days with covid around i feel safer now and whenever company comes in house .

Wildfire smoke v. GermGuardian Elite Tower Air Pur

I purchased this air purifier in Fresno for my home in Oakhurst to help staying in my residence close to the Creek Wildfire. I monitored its success in maintaining inside air quality in my large living room running continuously with an IQAir VisualAir Pro indoor/outdoor device. As I write this, the Air Quality (AQ) is indoor 4 and outdoor 118, earlier today was 23/194. It has been a great help to my asthma struggle through the smoke and air pollution.
