Features of Electrolux EL510A Electrostatic Air Cleaners
Effective in improving indoor air quality: The fan draws the air into the back of the unit where 2 pre-filters trap the larger dust particles. The air then enters an internal ionization chamber and smaller particles are charged with positive ions. These charged particles are drawn to the negatively charged filter plates in the following chamber.
Easy to understand indicator lights on panel display: Dust, noise and filter sensors automatically tells the level of filtration needed, and when it's time to clean and replace the electrostatic filter. The sensors monitor the quality of the air, and the green smiley face illuminates when the air is clean.
Effortless automatic filtration: Automatic controls adjust the work pace to the air quality or noise level in the room, removing the hassle of adjusting the air cleaner.
Whisper quiet operation: Thanks to its design with open filter plates and a quiet yet powerful fan, the air cleaner is only 31 decibels at bedroom mode. Also, the sound sensor mode allows the air cleaner to automatically adjust to the noise level without disturbing those in the room. It will work harder in noisier surroundings to maximize cleaning, and automatically adjust to a lower setting when the room is quiet.
Low energy consumption: The Electrolux air cleaner consumes less energy than a light bulb (20-70W)
Active carbon filter reduces household odors: Helps to reduce odors, such as those caused by smoke and cooking, from the air
3 stage filtration: - 2 pre-filters which remove large particles such as strands of hair - Main electrostatic filter removes smaller particles such as pollen, dust, and mildew spores - Carbon filter which reduces the amount of gases and odor in the air such as tobacco smoke
Do it yourself maintenance: Vacuum the permanent pre-filters every 2 months or more often for sensitive individuals. Vacuum the electrostatic main filter every 2 months and replace once a year or more if necessary or when the indicator lights up. Replace the carbon filter every 3 - 6 months if desired, or don't replace if not needed since the air cleaner runs without it.
Easy carry handle: Carrying the air cleaner is made easier with less strain on your body thanks to a built in handle on the back of the unit
Extra corona wire included: The corona wire creates an electrical charge on the dirt particles; these particles are attracted to the oppositely charged main filter
Built in excess power cord holder: a built in crevice in the back of the air cleaner holds any excess length of unused power cord

Pluses:
The Electrolux air cleaner test results did not disappoint. This unit
was tested over a 40-day period. With new filters, the particle count
efficiency was 99.3% on speed 1; 93.2 for speed 2; 75.6 on speed 3. The
average particle count efficiency is 89.4%.
The air cleaner was re-tested on day 40 for efficiency and the results
were encouraging: 99.0 on speed 1; 93.8% on speed 2; and 66.1% on speed
3. The average particle count efficiency was 86.3% after running the unit
for 40 days. The only noticeable reduction of efficiency was a 12.6% decrease
on speed 3.
Has built-in indicator lights: Reminds owner that the filters need to be cleaned or replaced
Air cleaner is quiet: Almost silent on low speed, quiet on medium speed and noticeably louder on high speed but not as noisy as other units on high.
Easy access: for cleaning or replacing filters
Quiet fan setting: This mode regulates the speed of the fan based upon the noise in the room; the fan will speed up when the sensor detects noise in the room, and slow down when it is quiet to not disturb the peace.
Contains an air quality sensor: Allows the air cleaner to adjust the speeds based upon the contaminate level in the room
Spare parts included: An additional corona wire is included
Lightweight: Makes this air cleaner easy to carry
Attractive exterior: Electrolux gave this air cleaner modern styling with a titanium gray color and a chrome knob that can blend into any environment, and kept the unit value-priced
Efficient air filtration: Overall, this unit is a very efficient air cleaner considering that it is not a true HEPA-type air cleaner.
Odor free: There was no discernable evidence of an ozone smell
Minuses:
The accompanying air cleaner manual is not easy to understand
Pre-filters will collect only very large-sized particles but it is a nice feature to have a pre-filter in an electrostatic air cleaner
The electrostatic filter has an odor when new but the smell dissipated after running the air cleaner constantly on high for a few days
The unit is considered high maintenance since an owner will have to: - clean the filters regularly (every two months or when indicator light is displayed) - replace the carbon pre-filter every three - six months, however it is okay to run the unit without this filter if not needed - replace the electrostatic filter once a year depending upon how frequently the unit is used
This unit is not recommended for removal of high concentration of gases and odors since there is only a small amount of carbon in the filter
Not recommended for those with multiple chemical sensitivities
Summary:
The Electrolux air cleaner is value priced for the highly efficient air filtration that it provides. It is lightweight, attractive, and has user friendly indicator lights to take the guesswork out of when to replace or clean the air cleaner, which is greatly appreciated.
