Hunter Air Purifier - Quiet Flo Air Purifier Review

Hunter Quiet Flo air purifiers allow you to provide cleaner air in your home at the touch of a button. Ours has three settings for the fan speed and the display shows the percentage of filter life left. It contains two filters: the HEPA filter is typically replaced about once a year and the pre-carbon filters are typically replaced every few weeks, depending on the quality of the air being filtered. We tend to buy a cheaper generic pre-carbon filter and cut them to the correct size rather than buying the more expensive Hunter brand pre-filters.

As the name indicates, it is quiet when running, which is a BIG improvement from another brand of air purifier we bought many years before. Another nice newer feature is that you can lock the display, preventing little fingers from changing the settings.

A couple of years ago, we bought two Hunter air purifiers, one larger one and one smaller one. Since I have asthma and take allergy shots, I have a peak flow meter and have to check my breathing on a regular basis. My peak flow readings went from 280 to 450 within about a week! My peak flow readings have consistently run 440-500 since then. My kids, who take allergy and asthma medicine every day, were able to breathe better also! I couldn't believe it.

After using the air purifiers for about four years, the smaller one suddenly stopped working. I checked the owner's manual, and I noticed it was still under warranty. Yeah, right...I bet they will make me mail it back and it will cost as much to do that as it will to buy a new one, I thought. But I called the number anyway.

Not only did I reach a real person on the other line, but I discovered that I only needed to mail in a sticker off the back and the power cord. The style that we had that was broken was no longer made, so they sent me one just like the other bigger one, which actually cost more! I just had to pay to send a sticker and the power cord from the broken unit. 

My Viewpoint:

If you are struggling to breathe and your healthcare provider recommends an air purifier, I'd encourage you to consider a Hunter Quiet Flo air purifier. Ours have certainly helped cut down on my family's asthma and allergy symptoms, and the technical support we received from Hunter was great.
