Silence Factor
You can hear this thing. However, any other noise can drown it (them) out. Speech, running water, the lowest TV or radio, even another appliance like the fridge or the roomate's shower are effective at drowning it (them) out, and I've three full size models and one mini going at once in the house so that's quiet!

Running Cost Factor
My four Breezes have not driven up my electric bill any. That's 24/7 running due to my allergies.

Cleaning Factor
Like the advert says, you clean the collection grid with a damp rag. That grid gets FILTHY! That rag turns black, so you know that sucker's collecting things you do not want in your lungs.

This proves two things.

1. The sucker works as promised.
2. You pay no replacement for filters, because those rags are washable. However, I noted that that black crap doesn't always come out. I started using throwaway socks that don't matter. That brings operating costs down to near nothing.
3. Thing is made for dummies. There is a red indicator light on the large models that let you know when they need cleaning. They then shut down until they are cleaned. The filters also need to be dry before resetting them into the units. Wet and electricity do not mix.

Unfortunately, the model I have is not being sold new anymore. Sharper Image is still selling like new refurbished models, of which I have one. They are in fact like new, I can't tell which one is the refirb. They currently sell the Pro new.
