Hunter 30756 Permalife

Pros
  • Decent performance in small rooms
Cons
  • Confusing controls
  • Non-HEPA filter is insecurely sealed

In Air-Purifiers-America.com's tests, the Hunter 30756 Permalife Tower Air Purifier finished in the middle of the pack, picking up 70% of the particles from a small room. The editors of Air-Purifiers-America.com say the Hunter's controls are confusing, and its non-HEPA filter is not securely sealed, making it less efficient at cleaning air. This air purifier is meant for rooms of about 200 square feet or less. For more recent reviews, please see our latest update on air purifiers.

It doesn't pop up in many other sources, but the Hunter 30756 Permalife 756 Tower Air Purifier is among the 14 air purifiers tested by Air-Purifiers-America.com for its efficiency in removing particles from a small room. The only other overview we could find about this air purifier is a suspiciously positive "review" posted on ReviewStream.com, which seems intended more to inspire sales than to educate prospective buyers.

We include this review not because it's particularly helpful, but because it illustrates what awaits the unwary seeker of air purifier reviews. The writer says the Hunter 30756 Permalife 756 Tower Purifier gave him "piece of mind" (sic), and repeats the full name of this machine so many times that he's clearly aiming for high placement in search-engine results. Real owner or employee of Hunter? You decide.
