Tools and Hardware Reviews of Vornado AQS 500 Air Quality System

Customer Review: Love
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this filter, and am only really writing this because I was so appalled that the few lowest reviews for this product were written by people who do not appear to have actually used this product. Because I'm lazy, I am just reposting an excerpt of a comment I posted on another person's review:

"Personally, I prefer that my air filter actually work on circulating lots of air, rather than creating an airtight chamber to filter a little air in a little space (the inability to circulate air and effectively create air current in a large space makes many a super-certified air filter wholly ineffective by filtering the same small amount of clean air over and over). A filter is useless if you can't get all of your dirty air through it, and believe me this thing circulates and cleans a ton of air. I have had this filter for about a year and have seen immediate improvements in my ability to breathe every single time I turned it on, so much so that I have stood over it during asthma attacks and it has stopped my coughing and wheezing in under 2 minutes (no medication needed). I am now purchasing my first set of replacement filters for this unit, because (while still effective), I opened it up and saw a huge layer of debris (dust and pet hair) caked on the outside of the filter and figured it was 'that time'. Being an Asthma sufferer in a house with two shedding dogs and a cat, I find this to be a phenomenal product at a very reasonable price."

To see a huge improvement (and I recommend you do this when you first get it), dust and clean while you have it in the room on max speed - it will filter all of the dust you kick up by cleaning. Also, if you have enough issues with air quality that you need an air filter, you should invest in a good vacuum too; my Dyson picked up more dirt from deep within my carpet in the first five minutes I used it than my old vacuums (that received much higher ratings from CR) ever did when vacuuming daily (suffice to say, since I got my Dyson I no longer have to vacuum every day). I do agree with another reviewer that the LEDs could stand to be much less bright, but it's something that I at least am able to get used to when I use it in my bedroom. If the bright lights are something you can't adjust to, try putting electrical tape over the LED as it's very easy to tell which speed it's just based off of noise.

Hope this helps :)
