Rating: - Bionaire 1300, Powerful & Quiet!
I just set up my new Bionaire 1300 Air Cleaner, and so far so good! One thing I was concerned about when making my purchase was the noise level of the unit. Happy to report that even on the highest fan setting it is relatively quiet! One problem, though minor, the remote control seems a little buggy. It works fine for on/off, highest and second highest fan settings. But when pressing the low and second fan speed setting (there are four fan speeds) I sometimes have to hold the button down for quite a long time before the speed sets on the unit. Sometimes I press those two buttons and the speed doesn't set at all. I plan to call Bionaire tomorrow to ask about this. As I said, it's minor, but still..
All in all, a nice unit!

Rating: - Nice quality & quiet
After much research, including some very helpful sites like www.cadr.org and www.aham.org, and various allergy websites, I decided on the Bionaire BAP1300 due to the amount of air it cleans, its warranty, and its noise rating. The unit arrived in a manufacturer's double box and was easy to setup.
So far, I am not disappointed. In "sleep" mode, I don't have to turn up the TV to watch it. In "low" mode, it is barely louder. I am not sure that "medium" or "high" are needed. This moves so much air on the lower settings. Air is taken in the front, and exhausted from the top.
The backlit display comes in handy. The remote is not really necessary, but I have found myself using it.
My daughters have alergy problems and, since this has been running (24x7) there haven't been any issues.
I feel this air cleaner is worth the money.

Rating: - Well designed
Have this unit for about four months and it works quite well
The remote is actually quite useable and at times it is nice during a TV show to lower the setting
Seems to clean the air quite well and the room is a bit on the large size
Would reccommend
