Great filters, I've had several now in diffferent parts of the house and they work really well. Can be loud on full power, but usually only run them on medium, as they are very...

New one sent two day delivery. I like that it is very quiet and senses the amount particles in the air and then adjusts the motor speed to it.

I bought 4 Vornados and 3 Venta Air washers, I do not like my Ventas compared to these. Just received earlier today, and I'm sending it back. Set it up, turned it on. It works but there's an annoying hum when it's on low speed. So its been about a year since I got this thing....I keep it in my living room and let it run 24/7 nonstop even when I am out of town. AC500 Full Size Whole Room True HEPA Air Purifier The Vornado AC500 Whole Room Air Purifier uses true HEPA filtration, one of the most effective filters available, to remove up to 99.97% of airborne allergens down to .3 micron. The Vornado Whole Room Air Purifier actively circulates and filters all the air throughout a room. Without circulation, the air cleaner is only cleaning the immediate area around the unit, relying on general motion to push air through the unit. The AC500 uses two combination HEPA/carbon filters to trap Dust, Pollen, Pet Dander, Smoke, Bacteria, Mold Spores, Dust Mites and more. The carbon pre-filters both absorbs odors and traps larger particles.

When in ‘auto mode’, advanced dust sensing technology detects the level of dust in a room, fluctuating the cleaning cycle up or down, depending on the air quality. Features 4 speeds, push button electronic controls, filter replacement indicator, sleep mode and industry leading 5 year limited warranty.

Sleek and modern styling fits in most room decors Minimal Maintenance - Filters are quick and easy to replace Which filters need changed and how often?If you are in the market for an air purifier, it seems as though there are dozens to choose from, all promising to eliminate undesirable particles and irritations from the air in your home. How can you trust these claims? I put the Vornado AC500 air purifier under the microscope to see what I could find out. I will cover a little bit about the product in general, what I liked about it and what you might want to consider about it before you buy one. In the looks department the Vornado AC500 air purifier is consistent with the design that Vornado is known for. Its sleek, contemporary, yet simple design will allow it to blend in well with most decor. Its dimensions come in at 11.5 x 13.2 x 27.4 inches which make it compact enough to be inconspicuously placed in any room. I like that it has 4 speeds so you have more options and can better control the noise when running the air purifier.

The handy light sensor makes the air purifier go into Sleep Mode so you can go to sleep with it on because it quiets down in low light automatically. One other great feature about this product is that it has a filter replacement indicator light that comes on when it is time to change the filter so there is no guesswork or calendaring to keep track of. The push button electronic controls are easy to use as well. For design, this product gets a solid “A”. Dust Sensor: Great or Gimmick? The Vornado AC500 air purifier claims to have dust sensing technology that monitors your home’s air quality and automatically adjusts to meet the demands as needed. This sounds like an attractive feature but raises plenty of doubt to most folks who heard such feature for the first time (even for myself). I was pleasantly surprised when I read the Vornado air purifier reviews on this product to see that it did just what it claimed. Owners who had purchased this product also remarked that they saw a dramatic reduction in dust on furniture as a result of using this product.

The reviews also went to say that this model was greatly improved from previous Vornado whole room air purifier models. The Vornado AC500 air purifier gets another “A” for performance. I’ve attached a video reference below in case you need to see how it really works. As far as manufacturer reliability Vornado stands behind its products. Vornado whole room air purifiers are guaranteed for 5 years or they will repair/replace it. You don’t see that too often for appliances anymore. Although when I tried to find any instances of needing to utilize their warranty I couldn’t find any Vornado air purifier reviews that mentioned any customer service interaction so I have no information on how smoothly difficulties are handled. B- Grade for Marketing Integrity Vornado boasts a 99.97% air purity standard for its air purifiers. According to most recent reviews posted online by owners who have purchased the Vornado AC500, this device seems to perform satisfactorily when it comes to tobacco smoke removal but rather disappointingly for dust particles and pollen removal.

When tested against 3 other competitive brands this air purifier came in dead last for quietness. Thankfully it is rated well for a larger room so this would not be as noticeable in more space but it was not recommended for use in a small room because of the noise factor. Factoring in Vornado’s reputation and the findings of the product tests against the company’s claims, I am going to have to give it a “B-” for integrity of marketing. The air purifier has 4 filters contained in this system that need to be changed when the filter replacement indicator light comes on. You can buy the replacements on the Vornado’s website. The company’s website says that you can also buy the filters at a local retailer but a number of zip code searches revealed no retailers that carried the products in my area. I advise you to go on Vornado’s site to get the filter replacements and save yourself the headache of hunting around for replacement filters. Since the manufacturer takes care of their own repairs there is no need to find a local repair place to take it to which makes it easier on the consumer if any issues arise that require a repairman.
