Kenmore EnviroSense 85501 Air Purifier

Pros: Design, sensors, sweet deal, small machine for a small room
Cons: None yet

I go to college in Providence, RI, and recently moved into a new room half before my third semester. The person who lived in the room before me left the room smelly, apparently never showering during the fall, so as a last resort to moving out from ...

Pros: Low noise at Low/Medium levels. Removes odors quickly. Quality construction and nice design. Great!
Cons: high/turbo settings are noisy but only used when odor or dust is high.

I went out looking to buy a good quality unit for several hundred dollars. This was rated #2 for this type of unit. The carbon filter removes odors nicely. HEPA filter is large and only requires changes once a year (yes it is pricey but its a large filter and does a lot being HEPA). The automatic mode works well with odor and dust sensors. The plasma (ionizer) is great. Good quality unit for price! We used to have issues after salmon cooking. Smell would last for 2-3 days. the same for onions! Now with this unit gone in about 3-4 hours maybe. Turbo is used for special issues like a recent change in the home to warrant a higher setting for a while.
