Pluses:
Compact design requires very little floor space
Simple and easy to use – no frills, no confusion
Easy and affordable filter maintenance
Lightweight with carry handle
Good filtration of particles
Kills germs, viruses and bacteria
CADR rated for efficiency
Minuses:

UV bulb change requires a screwdriver
Summary:
This is a good multi-purpose, compact air purifier for a single room approximately 186 sq. ft. During our testing it significantly reduced the particles in the air and its fan is quiet enough on low to use in a bedroom use while sleeping. It is very simple to use with a manual knob fan control and push button uv light option. This would be a great solution for an allergy sufferer looking for an affordable air cleaner that is easy to maintain. No frills, bells or whistles, just a good all around air purifier to help keep your breathing air clean, healthy and free of airborne germs, viruses and bacteria.
