2 Units broken, October 20, 2009
First unit the fan was ridiculously loud (obviously a problem). The motor spindle was loose or something and couldn't be fixed apparently. They sent a whole new unit. The 2nd brand new unit burnt out after 2 weeks. Electronics smelling (even when the unit is turned off, there is a humming noise and electronics burning smell). This item is junk. Obviously a defective line of products.
Expensive box, cheap contents., April 27, 2009

We bought this filter for our new apartment after several weeks of feeling terrible (congestion, puffy watery eyes, feeling tired, coughing, etc.) because we knew there was some sort of non-hazardous mold and dust combo at the root of it. This puppy looked like it'd do the trick, and for 6 days, we felt awesome. It worked very well! But on day seven the rotator inside this thing literally fell off the axle and ceased to work any longer. We were unable to fix it ourselves, and we found that once we opened up the packaging, we owned it. No returns were permitted, but we were allowed to pay for S+H back to the manufacturer for them to fix it. [...] The problem I have with this item is that the price is six times our cheap filters', and Alen's ghetto manufacturer hotline and inability to provide us with a new, working filter, indicates it shouldn't be worth this much.

AIR PURIFIER, September 25, 2008
works great - had none of the problems others have voiced - ordered a 375 after good results from a 350 because it has a couple more features which I have found useful since i recieved it
Good portable Air Purifier, December 21, 2007
Do recommend to anyone who want to have a portable air purifier. It is easy to operate and use. It really work great for a smaller space. We love it.
It works & the cost is right., November 18, 2007

I have been looking at and searching for a decent air purifying unit for at least 3 years, I find the cost runs way to high and the looks of the unit definitely wasn't designed by anyone with designing taste! And even though the germicidal UV light should be completely hidden from view most of the air filtering UV units I have looked at had obvious glowing of the eye damaging UV lighting. Now for my review of this item, The looks-acceptable. Noise level-acceptable on low speed during sleeping. Controls and adjusting-My wife has no problems working it! (Now that says a lot!) The Glowing of the UV lights-Almost literally impossible to see! Does it work?-my wife thinks Claritin cured her of her allergies. It took about 6 to 8 weeks letting it run 24-7 but it will clean up the impurities in the house and before you know it your not sneezing! Well it worked for me wife. Would I buy another unit-Yes if needed. The cost- acceptable My only problem with it is "How would I know if one of the UV germicidal lights go out?" I'm the type of person that probably never give out 5 stars to nothing, but I will give out 9.5 out of a 10 point scale for this item.

Where To Buy

Our Sources

1. Air-Purifiers-America.com

To thoroughly test air purifiers, retail site Air-Purifiers-America.com uses a high-performance laser particle counter that measures the removal of pollen, mold, dander and dust particles from the air. The Alen A375UV finishes a close second in its ability to remove particles from the air, ranked right behind the IQAir HealthPro series. Editors say the Alen A375UV is ideal for individuals with multiple-chemical sensitivity.

2. Air-Purifier-Power.com

Ed Sherbenou, an air-purifier expert, likes the A375UV's electronic features -- not found on the Alen A350 model -- such as its remote-control operation, filter-replacement indicator, dust and odor sensors, automatic fan and auto-off protection (which kicks in when the front cover is removed or misaligned). He also praises the A375UV for its low maintenance costs, but he says the square footage rating of 800 is inflated. He recommends using this model for rooms approximately 270 square feet in size.

3. AchooAllergy.com

Although this is a retail site, it provides detailed information about air purifiers, as well as brief reviews that list each model's pros and cons. The Alen A375UV is said to be an upgrade from the Alen A350, with convenient electronic features that the A350 model doesn't offer. As with the A350, editors aren't completely convinced of the effectiveness of the A375UV's ionizer, but they note that this feature can be turned off if owners choose.

A small number of owners have posted their reviews of the Alen A375UV, and the majority are happy with their purchase, saying it works well and is easy to operate. A few complain of noise when running the unit on its highest two settings, and one owner detected an ozone smell.
