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.

Most of the time i forget this is on, but when it automatically ramps up it does the job!

I recently purchased this air purifier and I am really happy with it! It has made a noticeable difference in the air quality in my home. It is easy to use and has several different settings to choose from. I highly recommend it!

I like the different settings and timer and it is very quiet.thanks

Great product. Very quiet and gets the job done well.

I love this. Love the way that it looks the aesthetics but then also it works as a fan which is amazing. I definitely recommend it. I mean, who doesn't want to have clean air at a very affordable and reasonable price.

Noticeable difference in air quality. My allergies are a lot better and feel a lot better in the mornings.

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.

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.

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.

Outstanding air purifier! You will notice a difference in hours after it is in use. I bought one for my bedroom, living room and home office. It's a good price as well. I would definitely recommend this product!

The Insignia NS-APLWH2 is a 497 ft2 HEPA air purifier designed to handle large sized. This is a plug and play device without any apps or device connections needed. Design The design of the unit is pretty nice to be honest. Its big was my first thought when I pulled it out of the box. It clocks in at 25 x 12 x 12 inches and weighs 18lbs. The top of the unit is a slatted surface that allows fresh air to pass through. The front of the body has a nice LED display. The bottom half of the front has a perforation pattern that looks pixelated as you move upwards – gives it a cool and modern look. On either side is a small hand hold for moving the unit around. The backside has a similar pixelated perforation pattern but also functions as the access door to replace the filter. The filter is a cylindrical HEPA filter with activated carbon. Before first use the only thing you really have to do is remove the plastic bag the is around the filter and put it back inside the machine. Close up the hatch after the filter is in and it is ready to power on. The top of the machine has 5 touch sensitive buttons. Power, auto mode, timed mode, fan speed, and filter reset. The auto button also doubles as a child lock if you press and hold it for 3 seconds. The front face of the unit has an admittedly nice looking LED display. The number displayed is the current air particulate reading (PM 2.5 readings in this case). light at the top. This light strips above and below the number indicates indoor air quality. Green – great, yellow – okay, orange – bad, and red – hazardous. My light has been consistently green this entire time. The highest number I saw was in the mid 50’s and that was right after initial startup when it was still clearing itself out a bit. Since then the particulate count has hovered around 2-10 consistently. If I happen to vacuum or leave the door open to the outside I can see the numbers jump up in real time. Care and Maintenance Maintenance of the unit is pretty straightforward. The filter life is rated at 3 months, but that is dependent on your air quality. The filter reset button will flash blue when its time to replace the filter. The filter is available to purchase on Best Buy’s website at the time of this review (Model NS-APFL2), so that’s nice to see. When its time to replace the filter the manual tells you to wipe the inside out with a damp cloth and clean away any trapped dust. Once the filter is replaced you close everything back up and press the filter button for 5s to reset it. Performance and Usage Using the purifier is pretty easy. You can set it to Auto and just walk away if you want to. The unit will run at whatever level is necessary to keep the air particulate count down. You can schedule a timer to run as well if only need it to run for a few hours while you are home, or something. You have options of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours. Or you can set it to manual and control the fan speed itself. On the highest setting it is really moving some air around. It still doesn’t get very loud, so you can have it right next to your couch while watching TV and it won’t be noticeable. Performance wise it does a really good job of knocking down a lot of floating bits in my air. I have a husky so I am used to seeing floof floating through the air in my house. Since dropping this unit into my living room I have noticed a drop in the amount of floating dog fluff. Time will tell how well it does at keeping dust levels down, but so far it appears to help one of my kids who has seasonal allergies. There was a lot of leaf raking/blowing this last week which usually makes him miserable due to the dust. This year was not as bad. This could be a placebo effect or a real outcome of using the filter. Overall This Insignia unit has a sleek looking design that should look good in most settings. The filtering seems powerful while the fan stays fairly quiet. I’m impressed with it after this first week. It has done a nice job so far.
