Bionaire BAP1500U PERMAtech Ionizing Air Purifier

Clears Odors, but Rattles

Posted Sep 11, 2007 - Neighbor’s cigarette smoke came through our vents making the air in our bedroom unbearable, but this purifier successfully cleared the odor. The fan is not too noisy considering its effectiveness. However, the mounts would rattle enough to make sleep difficult, and that is saying something considering we are sound sleepers. Our main concern is eliminating cigarette smoke. We do not suffer from any allergies, but certainly appreciate clean air. We do not want the trouble or costs of replacement filters, and thought this was the model for us. Unfortunately, the rattling is just too much.

Another crappy probably foreign made product

Posted Jan 20, 2007 - I'm just tired of spending money on expensive crap. This thing is very loud, works poorly but still cost around 200 dollars. Cleaning light never goes off. Vibrations and clicking add more annoying noise to this carpet weight.

Cheaply assembled, but functional.

Posted Dec 12, 2005 - Fan(s) are very quiet, but vibration noise from the fan mounts, echoed through the chasis of the unit are annoying because they're sporadic. It can become noisy enough to stop me from getting to sleep, even on the low setting. This is my second air purifier and am very frustrated with this one compared to a cheap $80 Honeywell.
