Tools and Hardware Reviews of 3M Filtrete Ultra Clean Air Purifier, FAP02-RS
Customer Review: Very pleased, but...
Summary: 2 Stars
Having purchased many air purifiers over the years, this one (FAP02) has been the best! I also have the larger FAP03 purifier and am pleased with its performance too, though it's rather large. They work so well that the filter only lasts 1 to 3 months, and I love that each unit tells you when the filter is restricted, but don't chg the filter immediately; try vaccuming the filter first to extend the filter life. Also, rotate the filter, since the bottom of the filter fills up first.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: the replacement filters are TOO expensive!!! Between the cost of the unit, plus replacement filters with shipping, you should consider the true cost before purchasing this unit.
Customer Review: Nice, but not inexpensive to operate
Summary: 4 Stars
I have two of these in my home, one in my office and one in the bedroom. I definetly notice a difference in using them.
For anyone that may be wondering, this device uses appx 80-85 watts at full speed, 50-52 at medium, ~37 watts at low speed, and 1-2 watts plugged in but not running. That, coupled with the $20 replacement filters doesn't exactly make these things cheap, but I think it's worth it.
I think it is worth mentioning that you can get "custom" filters for less than the cost of the 3M filters. There are several websites where you can tell them the dimensions of the filter and they cut them up for you.
Customer Review: works great - How to SAVE money on filters
Summary: 5 Stars
These work great and are better than ionizer air filters. The big problem people have with this is filter replacement.
At my Practical, Healthy Stuff blog, I detail how to make the Filtrete filters really last! Basically, you attach the inexpensive, carbon prefilters from Honeywell (available here on Amazon) to the filter with velcro tape. These carbon filters are the exact right size, and they capture larger dust and gunk, as well as filter out chemicals and odors.
Oh yeah, like they say here, vacuum each regularly and you may get over a year's use from them!
Customer Review: really like this purifier
Summary: 5 Stars
this machine is fairly quiet - it is actually comforting and lulls me to sleep and i'm a very light sleeper! here is a tip that i got from another review i read - you can buy 3m blue filters from department store (starts with w and ends with a t). just cut to fit the filter on the purifier and you've got a very inexpensive prefilter so the purifier's filter will last longer. i'm very happy with this product.Customer Review: 3M Filtrete FAP02-RS Ultra Clean Air Purifier
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an awesome buy. I have had one of these in my bedroom for just over a year now and wanted to buy another one for the living room. It works really well and I really like that the light indicator will tell you when its time to change the filter.
The filters are just under $20.00 to replace but it is worth it.
I would recommend this product to anyone needs an Air Purifier.
