 Very quiet, simple to use, allergy reducing May 28, 2010
Surgery100 (Washington, DC)
I live in DC and they are constructing a new building across the street from me. Between springtime in the midatlantic and a construction allergies in my house have been at an all time high, not to mention a fine dust over the furniture. I bought one of this units for the living room, initially apprehensive about the potential noise (I used to have a Honeywell and could not keep it in the bedroom at night because of the noise).
Noise:
This unit is extremely quiet, it stays on 24/7 and I just bought a second one to keep in the children's room. At the medium setting the only indication it is on are the lights on the front, at the highest setting it seems to be about as quiet as the refrigerator. The lights are fairly dim so they don't work as a night light keeping you awake at night.
Ease of use:
There are several settings but they are very self-explanatory and simple to set. You can set the unit to run for a set amount of time (2,4,6 hrs) or you can set it for continuous functioning. One nifty feature is an "automatic" which will determine whether the amount of junk in the air requires the low, medium or high purification settings. Finally there is a control where you decide if you want the extra ionization purification.
Expense:
The replacement filters are fairly inexpensive as far as filters go. The main filter also has a visual gauge to help you determine if it needs changing.
Efficiency:
I'm no environmental engineer so my gauge of how well it works is crude. Before buying it we had to vacuum and clean the furniture every 2-3 days because of the fine white dust from the construction; we only have to do it about once every 7-10 days now. The other measuring stick is that I was taking daily Claritin for my allergies before and that has been reduced to as needed only (once a week maybe).
I guess the main point to show how happy I am with this unit is that I bought a second one to keep in the children's bedroom 24/7.
 Good for small bedroom April 26, 2010
M (DC/NoVA)
I purchased this unit when my first child was born. It was supposed to keep his bedroom air clean as well as providing a soothing white noise. I paid $300 back then.
The filter cartridge hangs loose inside the casing, which has two negative effects: Unfiltered air can get around it, and the "white noise" is accompanied by a slight rattling sound.
The filter compartment's opening mechanism is an extremely weak piece of plastic. It broke apart before my first change of filters.
The filter cartridge (which you have to order online) is more expensive than the ones from most other competitors. I recommend if you comparison shop, calculate how much each air purifier will cost you per year (if you plan to stick to the manufacture's recommended maintenance schedule.)
As my son grew older he discovered this air purifier as a toy. Not only did he become an expert in pushing the buttons to make the display flash different things and alter the fan speed, but eventually started taking the filter layers out (it didn't take much, since the retaining plastic was already broken). He also showed his younger brother. With the second filter exchange I taped the enclosure shut with duct tape.
About two months ago the fan stopped turning in the low speed mode, then a few weeks later it stopped turning at medium speed. A few days ago the fan started smelling horribly and I noticed that it is not turning at all anymore. I will not give negative points for failing after three years, especially after this unit has taken a lot of abuse from the kids.
Have I been happy with my purchase? Somewhat yes. It provided white noise and entertainment for my children. It kept the air clean.
Would I recommend it? Probably not. I got a Honeywell unit as a replacement and I am happier with it so far for several reasons:
1. Even though the Honeywell is in the lowest setting as loud as the Neoair in the highest setting, it as a much higher airflow rate even then.
2. The Neoair cost twice as much, and its replacement filters are more expensive.
3. The Neoair is built very flimsy. The honeywell seems to be more sturdy. It just seems to be a better design.
Bottom line: I would recommend this unit only, if the noise level is a primary concern and you are willing to sacrifice air quality for it.

I bought this product at http://www.breathemoreeasily.com , but wanted to share my feedback in this forum. It has dramaitcally increased the "breatheability" of my air. I suffer from MCS, astham, and severe allergies, and the use of this product has helped tremendously...and even allowed me to reduce the amount of medication I take! It has already paid for itself!
Neoair and Las Vegas dust problem August 5, 2008
Raquel M. Martini (Las Vegas, NV)
Dust is a tough problem to solve in our desert community. I read that The American Lung Association gives Las Vegas a grade of "D" for the levels of dust particulates in our air.
To me, house dust exposure triggers asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. However, since I started using the Neoair HEPA air purifier those symptoms have now reduced considerably. I'm in the process of purchasing another unit for my large kitchen and living room.
Nice product and friendly customer support August 1, 2008
Cibele Prado (Seattle, WA USA)
No hassle purchase, fast service and friendly customer support. I called Neoair with a lot of questions about their air purifiers and which model would be the best fit for my HUGE problem with mold and dusty in my house. The operator recommended Neoair Enviro for my Bedroom and the Neoair PLUS for my livingroom. I'm super happy with the results. Thanks
