Germguardian AC4825 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System with True Hepa, UV-C Power and Odor Reduction.
Ideal for Medium Size Rooms
Multiple Levels of Cleaning
GermGuardian AC4825, 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System with True HEPA, UV-C and Odor Reduction stands at 22-inches and has multiple levels of cleaning to capture allergens, kill airborne viruses and bacteria, and destroy mold and odors. It is ideal to use in medium-size rooms and is CADR rated 100+.
How it Works
First, a pre-filter and a charcoal filter combine to capture large particles like dust and lint, as well as destroy common household odors. Then, a True HEPA filter captures 99.97 percent of airborne particles, as small as . 3 microns in size, such as dust mites, debris, mold spores, plant pollens, and pet dander. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics Allergy & Immunology, doctors recommend HEPA air filtration systems to reduce exposure to indoor asthma triggers. Finally, UV-C light technology works to help kill airborne viruses and bacteria while Titanium Dioxide is activated by the UV-C light to decompose odor molecules caused by smoking, cooking, and pets.
True HEPA Filtration
True HEPA is superior in quality when it comes to filtering allergens from the air. True HEPA filters are proven to capture 99.97% of airborne allergens such as household dust, pet dander, mold spores, and plant pollens and particles as small as .3 microns in size. That can make a big difference in air quality.
Odor Reduction
Reduces common household odors from pets and cooking. Also removes smoke particles and odor with an activated carbon filter.
The Power of UV-C
UV-C light kills bacteria and viruses, including: rhinovirus, E.coli, and streptococcus. UV-C light sanitizes by permanently damaging the DNA of germs so they die.

SOME OF THE CUSTOMER REVIEWS ABOUT THIS QUALITY HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING [ SAMPLE ]
1) Perfect for our asthmatic household. *Updated - My toddler and I both have severe allergies and asthma. To the point that over the past month we have both been having major issues with the pollen and smog in the air, even with being home most of the time! I ordered this one after doing A LOT of research, and I decided this was the best for the money. With a true HEPA filter that you replace once a year (opposed to once a month) it would save money in the long run. I chose this one for the den in our house and over the coming weeks we will be getting smaller ones for the bed rooms.
This review for right now is 24 hours in to having it on in the house, and later I will come back and add to it.
Set up was easy straight out of the box, and I put it out of traffic areas in the house. I was worried with where I put it there would be trouble for good air circulation, but it is doing great! In fact with it on high I noticed a tag on the other side of the room (directly across) was moving on one of the toys yesterday as I was cleaning. Then I cooked fish last night (our den has an open doorway to the kitchen), and I couldnt even smell it cooking!! I decided to test it this morning, and sat on the couch painting my nails. Even using nail polish remover I couldnt smell it!!! (which astounds me b/c I hate doing my nails simple b/c of the toxic fumes!!) As far as noise, its not that bad. On high, with the tv and with kids running around it is a little white noise and thats it. I sleep with the bed room doors open, and having a tower computer on in the den annoyed me, however on medium I couldn't even hear it in the den! It also moves a lot of air b/c even when the ac isnt blowing air, it feels like it is b/c of this tower! I am super excited at the thought of having better air quality in the house so we dont have as many issues, and I know it will take probably a good month for me to be able to judge that (and trust me I keep up with our flair ups b/c my son sees a specialist so I can tell you if it will make a difference or not). I also liked the UV light, since we have kids over to play all the time it makes perfect sense to have it to.
Also anyone that has lung issues, make sure to avoid any purifier that has the ion part (where you turn it on for a fresh smell) it actually causes lung problems (if you have underlying problems). Oh and check out the reviews on walmart . com for this purifier, it has hundreds of reviews and most are five star (which is one of the reasons I went with this model even though not everyone loved it on here).
Check back in August and I will add an update =)
****************************UPDATE****************************** 12/2/2012
Hi ALL! Sorry took me so long to come back and update =) Fortunately if you see below I did give a heads up three weeks in we still loved it. This unit is holding up well, and really does a good job! Since buying it (I guess going on six months ago now --WOW THAT WENT FAST!!) it helped with our asthma and allergies. Within the first month I stopped waking up with a stuffy nose, and it was taking particles out of the air so I wasn't seeing as much dust. I still would love to have them in each room, but that is on the back burner. Make sure you have enough for the sq footage of your room. We have since moved to a larger place, that has more sq footage in the den, and also two open doorways leading to other rooms. As such, this unit is doing really well for how much air it has availability to; when I should honestly probably should have one more in here. It isn't too loud, and I love the uv light. Within the first month of us having it we were exposed to someone (a visitor) that wound up having pneumonia. With the fact we have a higher risk of catching lung illnesses, I was really nervous. I think a big contributor to not catching it is because we had this unit running on high with the uv light. I highly recommend this unit, and I hope it helps! =)
***********************************Update 6/26/13
We just about hit the year mark! Still working great and going strong! Make sure you wipe down (inside and out) once a month (as the book says). Still going strong, and working well! =) Buy this one, and you wont regret it!
***********************************Update 11/13/13
Unit is still working great! We added a second one earlier this year, and pleased with both! =)
***********************************Update 06/29/14
Both units are still going strong with no issues. Still helping with our asthma and allergies.

2) so far, so good!! - I just purchased this device and put it into service yesterday to combat the terrible mold issue in our old apartment, and also because we have dust and cat dander no matter how often I dust and vacuum. Where there is a mold flare up, my daughter coughs all night long (and ends up getting sick), which happened two nights ago and prompted me to make this purchase. Last night however, there was zero coughing. The air actually smells and feels fresh and we both slept incredibly well. Its very quiet, sleek looking, and Energy Star rated so I don't have to worry too much about using it 24-7.
The previous review said that it emits a strong plastic odor. That odor is present the minute you take it out of the box, like all new things made of plastic. After running it for about 18 hours, the smell is barely noticeable and I'm sure will continue to fade away. In fact, food odors get trapped in the bedroom every time I cook, but not last night! Its the only room in the house that doesn't smell like the garlicky beef I made for dinner. :)
