Customer Review: ONLY #04492 Has the PERMANENT AIR FILTER
Summary: 5 Stars
UPDATE - Dec. 13th, 2009.
I received my Model #04492. It has the PERMANENT FILTER. It IS NOT TOO LOUD as some people have stated. I keep mine on Auto Sensor and I LOVE IT!
After over a week of constant use (I NEVER SHUT IT OFF) my eyes are no longer PUFFY in the morning. I do not see a haze in the air any longer when the sun shines through the window either. I am not a smoker so that was not it. I had dirty air stirred up by the ceiling fan which is almost always on.
This gets a 5 star from me!
So much confusion here because Amazon combines it's reviews for both Models #04492 AND #04491.
I noticed they use the SAME REVIEWS(same Brand Names but DIFFERENT Model Numbers) on many many items sold on Amazon. Especially CAMERAS - buyers beware.
They SHOULD NOT DO THAT because it is very very MIS-LEADING!
I persevered NEARLY 2 HOURS through web site after web site to confirm the FACT that the #04491 requires a $49 replacement filter every 6 months or so.
After two hours of searching and reading and Price Comparing - I found a NEW IN BOX #04492 on Ebay for a total of $105 including shipping.
I really have no idea how well it is going to work.
All I know is I had to read site after site - ad after ad to figure out that THEY ARE NOT ALIKE in the FILTER DEPT!
I almost bought the #04491 because of the Amazon Reviews from several satisfied customers that said it they LOVE the Permanent Filter... THAT WAS WRONG!
Thank God I remembered about the CAMERAS and how they combine their Reviews on similar items. So I thought - just for the heck of it... and I started GOOGLING the #04492. I WAS RIGHT!
They had the SAME EXACT REVIEWS for the #04492 as they did the #04491.
DO NOT GET THE #04491 unless you do not mind buying the $49 air filter every 6 months. If they say 6 months - FIGURE 4 months and it will be clogged.
If you shop around - you can get an #04492 CHEAPER than what some sites are selling the #04491 for.
I hope this review will enlighten some of you and prevent you from buying something that an AMAZON.com review MISLED you about.
Before you purchase something BIG and Expensive or Specific that you need or want - Search - Search - GOOGLE - GOOGLE! Then you will know EXACTLY what Model number you need.
