This smoke air purifier features an extra-deep carbon bed and a special TarBarrier pre-filter to tackle tars, chemicals, and tobacco smoke. A HEPA-Barrier post filter helps to trap particles and dust as well. This unit is excellent for use in homes, smoking areas, restaurants, bars, and other public spaces where secondhand smoke exists.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
While I would prefer to smoke my cigars on the porch, the weather has forced me inside. I had to get something to deal with the lingering odor. This unit was expensive, but it works. Im not sure how long the charcoal filter will last, but for now it is handling at least two cigars daily indoors.
Using it in a room where my father smokes. It really absorbs the smoke! People who have visited even commented what a difference the purifier makes. Recently the smell of smoke started permeating down the hallway, so we changed the tar filter and vacuumed the other filters according to the directions, and it is like new. Going 3 months strong now! So happy we bought this!
Wonderful filter, does a great job of filtering smoke! Until you have to change the filters! Every filter change requires you to turn the filter upside down and remove the 4 screws and the bottom plate. The tar barrier filter is easy to replace (if you can find one for sale!) just pull it out from the inside of the carbon filter, The carbon filter (which is the reason this filter works so well) is easy to replace every year or so. Juts pull it out and put a new one in. BUT! To do that, you have to deal with the real problem, the outer fiber filter that wraps around the carbon filter. In 3 years, I have never managed to put this thing back together with the outer filter neatly wrapped around the carbon filter. I've had enough, looking for a new filter. PROS: Works great! CONS: Noisy at full speed, expensive filter replacement, difficult filter replacement.
Similar experience with previous customer: the filter starting making very loud noise within 2 weeks of purchase. I received the replacement, which has the exact same problem. I do not wish to receive a 2nd replacement, so I contacted AIRPURA customer service (very bad service!). Not only they want to charge 10% restocking fee for a defective product, but they want me to pay for shipping back a defective filter which weights 40 pounds. These are not isolated incidents, on the contrary having 2 customers receive 2 defective products each- means there are more serious issues with T600. Do not buy! For 850usd you are better off with BlueAir or other better brands.
It's decent, but it doesnt do near as good of a job as the IQAir GC, but the IQAir GC is also more expensive and costs more to maintain. I mounted this on the wall up high, and I'm still not super impressed with the job it does. The IQAir GC however is fantastic. Either machine needs to be run at full speed if the goal is to remove smoke.
Although I did not purchase this item directly from Amazon, I thought I'd write a review on my thoughts.
It may have been overkill but I purchased two of these as the wife and I both smoke and I didn't feel these would be as effective running on High all the time with one. My home is approx. 1650 feet with a relatively open floor plan. The living Room, Kitchen and Dining room all are connected so I set one up in that area running on Low/Medium at all times. I smoke almost every night in my office which is a much smaller area and closed off from the rest of the home except for the door to the room. I have the second one set up in this area. I've head both of these for over a month and I couldn't be happier. When I return from work, the house has zero smell of cigarettes. When we return from out of town, the house has zero smell of cigarettes. I wouldn't' say it removes all of the dust but it has helped in that arena too but it's not why I purchased this. I would definitively recommend to anyone. Both packages (purchased two) arrived at the same day and were well packaged. I've was happy to see the T600 wrapped in plastic as I was concerned the Carbon filter may absorb surrounding odors from it's environment. Worked out of the box fantastic.
