it's a worthy air purifier....I have the prior model...better to be over kill then not worthy. you can get off brand filters crazy cheaper on AMAZON. I run mine 24/7 helps some for my dust mite allergy since I can not get rid of my carpet. to be honest...can't even hear it at all. has a auto mode that goes into sleep mode when the light in the room goes dark. ...so quiet...
