Not only are Filtrete air purifiers effective, but they're also small, convenient, and stylish. The 3M Filtrete Ultra Clean Air Purifier is better than HEPA at capturing airborne particles; it has a higher airflow and the electrostatic nature of the filters lends itself to higher dust and pollen capture rates. With two sizes available, it's now easy to choose an inexpensive air purifier for light to moderate allergies while reducing dust and other particles in nearly any room in your home.

Founded by five businessmen in Two Harbors, MN in 1902, 3M started out as a mining company. They produced the world's first waterproof sandpaper in the 1920s. In 1925, a young lab assistant named Richard G. Drew invented masking tape; in the following years, 3M developed the Scotch tape brand. The 1950s brought Scotchgard fabric protector, videotape, and Scotch-Brite cleaning pads, along with several other new 3M products. In the 1960s and 1970s, 3M expanded to produce specialized products for industries such as photography, pharmaceuticals, radiology, medical equipment, and dental equipment. The famous Post-It notes appeared in 1980. In the 1990s, 3M product sales hit the $15 billion mark. 3M is one of 30 companies that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Sales hit $20 billion in 2004, and 3M now produces an astonishing array of products, from respirators, air purifiers, and air filters to optical films for LCD televisions and immune response modifier pharmaceuticals.

Quiet enough for me Pleased with it so far The Filterete is a very sleek looking air purifier that delivers on performance in making the air quality better for people who must deal with allergies. It is quiet and is working well in giving me a better night's sleep. This model is reasonably priced and is portable for me to move from room to room if need be. I am pleased with the Filterete. It is my first purchase of an air purifier that rids the room of dust mites, mold, and other allergens. The product came quickly and very well packaged. Excellent for my toddler's room

This is just the right size for my 2 year old's room. I noticed cleaner air after one day of use. So easy to use. Love the three settings. Use it on the highest as a sound machine as well. Filters are expensive, but oh so worth it. My toddlers night coughs have reduced tremendously. 3M Filtrete Ultra Quiet Air PurifierThe 3M Ultra Quiet (FAP01-RS) is one of the absolute quietest air purifiers available on the market. Thecharged fibers in the filter capture microscopic debris like: smoke, smog, household dust, pet dander, bacteria, and particles that can carry viruses. Additionally, the easily changeable filter captures 99.9% of large airborne allergens like pollen, mold and dust mite debris. Compact, light and economical, this 3M air purifier is a good buy for someone wanting cleaner air on a budget.What I like about the 3M Ultra Quiet Air Purifier The best attribute of the 3M Ultra Quiet is that this air purifier is one of the most reasonably priced models available. When you factor in the initial cost, replacement filters and energy consumption this compact air purifier will cost about $0.30 per day to own and operate.

That's a little over $8 a month. Many models will cost you 2 to 3 times that amount to own and operate. Secondly, this unit is light and very quiet. This air purifier is low enough to be standing next to it and still hold a conversation over the phone without having to turn the unit down or off all together.While no 3M air purifier uses traditional HEPA filters, the electrostatic filters is made of the same media that makes Filtrete furnace filters some of the best and most popular available today. The electrostatic nature of the filter media leads to a cleaning efficiency that is higher than HEPA standards. The drawback to this is listed below.What I do not like about the 3M Ultra Quiet Air Purifier The Ultra Quiet is limited by its size. An 11' x 10' room is about all the larger you can go with and this unit still be effective. Additionally, because 3M uses electrostatic filters in lieu of traditional, more expensive HEPA filter media, filter changes are more frequent. Still, with the added cost of the filter, this air purifier is inexpensive to own and operate, as illustrated by the cost listed above.
