The Best Air Purifier
after buying four different air purifiers from the usa and the uk this one is the best. it is a vacuum for air cleaning. a must buy if the air around you needs cleaning. gets rid of cig smoke, cooking odors and lots more. has a neat remote control. has five different fan settings, low, mid, high, night mode, automatic. also has timer setting as well. one filter is only needed not three or four filters like the Honeywell HPA300 which not only needs four filters but needs a step down transformer due to Honeywell being from the usa. the Honeywell has no night mode and is loud whereas the vax 300 does have night mode and isn't loud. I have two vax and is great for personal use or great as a gift for relatives or friends.

Vax Air Purifier
Originally I bought this to use in the bedroom as a sleep aid. Thought clean air would be beneficial to my lack of sleep however, even on ‘Night Mode’ it’s still quite loud! A single press of a button on the remote turns the unit to NM and the lights go out all but one.. a white one (in a dark room) I’m sure you can work that out. As well as night mode it does have a timer so you can have it turn off by itself, handy! So it’s been moved to our lounge were we left it to work it’s magic with the door closed. Came back a few hours later and there was a difference in the room, it smelt different, maybe fresher but I could achieve that by opening a window... like we used to do! Does it filter the air? Well I guess that’s something we have to take Vax’s word for. However, the proof will be a full filter I would imagine. The Unit: The unit itself is bigger than we expected but this is not a bad thing, it’s not heavy (as such) and it’s quite stylish really, and it does kick out some welcome cold air in this heat from the top. There are two lifting slots either side to help move this around, the sides are high gloss so you wouldn’t want to go moving it without them. Are these worth the money? If you have allergies then maybe you would notice a difference but for us there was not much to note. I’m not knocking this product but for us it’s not worth the outlay. Would I buy this product again? No.

Which? Recommended Air Purifier
As this was given a best value Which? rating I had no hesitation buying it. The noise is loud when fast fan runs but the auto setting (default) doesn't keep it there long assuming the sensor is working. If it does stay on then you probably need it. Best to vacuum around before using to ensure it starts from a clean point. You can set the fan speed if you don't like the Auto setting. The night setting is very quiet and does not disturb our cats and dog. When someone smokes the red light comes on and the fan speed increases until clear then returns to green and reduces the fan speed. Only fastest fan speed is annoyingly loud, low. medium and night setting are ok. It's comforting to see the green ring illuminated as we live by a busy A road and have a smoker in the house. Not cheap but can be much more expensive - this is where Which? has saved me money.

They advertise is as best UK air filter
In my mind it is up there with the very best. We bought one for the office. It transformed the air quality so we bought 2 more. I don't know how we did without them for so long. It is so well built and has sensors that do everything automatically. The remote comes handy in our meeting room. Design is first class with no buttons. everything is finger touch and intuitive. The built in ioniser kills bacteria and removes smells if any in the office. Its not small but the fan is super powerful in filtering the air.

Very happy with the unit - with easy to use features.
We have set it up in our bedroom. Night mode is very quiet The timer mode is very handy as we can switch it on an hour before we go to bed. In the morning we let it run for an hour after we have got up It fits in within our room and it's not to bulky Easy to clean the filter as well

Does what it says on the box
I live in a 12 roomed house with 5 lazy cats, so lots of dust and a bit sniffy at times. So, I purchased a Vax 300. Good points. Looks attractive and well designed for what it is, easy to follow instructions, easy to operate, I always use in auto mode, background noise is minimal, total 5 modes + several on-off time modes. Top speed is a bit like a jet engine although it doesn’t bother the cats at all who are normally quite noise sensitive. Very noticeable air quality difference. Filter unit very easy to change. Bad Points. None really, if I was being picky, I would like a longer mains cable. Filter unit quite expensive but I think you get what you pay for. Final comment. It was so good I purchase a second unit a week later.

Excellent product
This is an excellent product, quiet on its low setting and virtually silent on its night setting. It filters the air well. I am using it instead of teaching with an open window. Although it is the size of a 30L kitchen bin, it is lightweight and easy to move. It is well designed so the filter will be easy to replace when the time comes.

Efficient and Stylish
Love this item, was needed to assist a very unwell partner and does exactly what is needed to keep the air free from dust, dander and potentially harmful microscopic particles. It also looks good with its cylindrical design so all round very happy customer.

Great Gadget.
It is a perfect device for purifying interior air which helps with health issues and prevents infections. The device also cools air or it feels cooler and is whisper quite with AAA economy. It is perfect for me.
