Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this for our downstairs hoping it will help prevent odor from our two dogs and two cats. I've had it for a few weeks and so far so good. It is around two feet high and the sleek silver design helps. It has three fan settings and we use it in a large family room. I have used it in the kitchen when cooking salmon to get rid of the smell that otherwise seems to linger forwever and it did a great job of removing any smell.

I have concerns over the life of the filters as the replacement filters cost around $30 and there is no indication of need to replace other than a visual check of the color of the filter in use.

Not happy about the expensive replacement filter costs or over $125 price tag but it does a good job of removing odors and keeping the air clean in a heavy traffic area with lots of guests, some of whom have allergies.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This air purifier is already setup for the user. Just unbox and plug in.

Like other air purifiers I own, this model uses two filter types that stick to each other. So the dust/pollen/odors first get caught in a charcoal filter and then a hepa filter.

My old Honeywell and Holmes models have a bigger footprint than this upright B&D but they also catch more dust. These other models are square shaped versus this upright rectangle. I have no idea why they work better. If the filter is better or the suction. I just know that the charcoal filter on the other models is dirtier after the same amount of time.

The light is too bright. I put tape over it. The sound is fine by me. I like white noise.

Here is the rub for me. My bedroom is small. I have my door shut and I ran the filter for a week and cleaned the room good before I started. I can still see what I think is too much dust flying around in my flashlight beam which is how I test.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Black and Decker Hepa Fresh Air Cleaner shouldn't cause you any "Wow moments" but that can be a good thing in this age of super high tech touch command world. It's a lightweight-3settings-Air Cleaner that runs quietly and effectively.

Taking it out of the box to the floor requires the removal of the styrofoam shipping protection and the plastic covering (there's a teeny bit of irony in the fact that the "odor remover has an odor" It's just the smell of new plastic and seriously a non-issue but fun to mention for the sake of being able to use the word "Irony" correctly).

The directions show an extra liner of plastic on the filter but there was none on my filter. The directions also draw the Pre/Charcoal filter as being about 1/3 as thick as the Hepa Filter and they write about it in what I think is a misleading way(page E-5 in the manual). This "Pre-/Charcoal Filter" as they call it is simply a thin, very thin, layer of foamy like substance (I'll take their word for it about the Charcoal) that uses a velcro-like strip at the top to attach to the HEPA. Then they number the filters like this:

1. Pre-Filter combined with

2. Charcoal Filter

3. Hepa Filter

So I was looking for a 3rd item. You can stop looking. It's that thin foamy thing that they're "wordsmithing' to sound more important that it looks. And believe me, it doesn't look like much.

The controls are manual, with a Lo, Med, and Hi ability that when turned, light up the rather LONG green power light. I checked to see if the light was tied to the filter as an alert but it isn't, It's just a power light.

The Pre-/Charcoal filter gets a Vacuuming every month (according to the directions) and the HEPA they suggest to buy a new one when it is Grey or Black and no longer white.

Overall, it's a surprisingly simple but effective machine from Black and Decker that carries a generous 3 year warranty and a fairly high price. It took the bacon smell, left from my ravenous nephew, from the kitchen in about 10 minutes on hight; That was impressive.

For the quality, simple design and the fact that B&D will potentially be making money from the filter "Re-purchase" I thought the price (even the Amazon price) was a bit high. But that's just a consumer opinion based on my personal finances. If you have a room that needs dander and smell gone in a relatively fast and quiet way, this unit could work for you!

Honest reviews on Black & Decker HEPAFreshTM Air Cleaner BXAP148 3 Speed HEPA

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have often thought of getting an air cleaner, but was put off buy the price. When this one came my way, I jumped on the chance to try one.

I am very glad I did. This performs much, much better than my expectations. I have three big dogs and sometimes my house can smell a little "doggie". They also have access to a doggie door, so they are constantly bringing in dust, dirt and other things from the great outdoors. I plugged this into an outlet in the family room (approximately 12x24) and in less than 24 hours it smelled 100 percent better.

Set up is incredibly easy. All one has to do is open the box and plug it in. It is very light weight, so it would be very easy to move it from room to room if necessary. It makes a little bit of noise, somewhat like a white noise machine set on low. I am very pleased witht his product.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program It's not that I haven't been aware of air purifiers, I have. I've even had them recommended to me by others my mother swears by them but I just (incorrectly) assumed they wouldn't offer much more than more paid kilowatts to the electric company in my home so I didn't bother; that is, until I was given the chance to try the Black & Decker HEPAFreshTM Air Cleaner.

Now I'm a believer!

First, there was no crazy filter insertion instructions or assembly, this air purifier was plug 'n play so to speak. And even looking at the manual on filter cleaning and replacement, it'll be super easy.

I've been using it for about a month now and I have already noticed visibly less dust in the room where it sits. And, for the first Spring in ages, the outdoor irritants haven't pestered me inside as well, to which I credit the Black & Decker HEPAFreshTM Air Cleaner.

So it seems like my mother was right after all (I hope she never reads this or I'll never hear the end of it). Air cleaners are awesome!
