We have been using this in our teenagers room. They loved the fact you can stand it in the floor or remove the base to sit on the dresser. Its a very slim design which is amazing. If you have a teenager you know they are funky. It took about 24 hours of running on medium to remove any and all traces of teenager from the room. It really was not too loud. It didnt disrupt the tv or gaming sounds which was a huge plus. As thats one of our issues with another brand purifier we own. Its easy to access the filter when the time comes to replace it. Only issues we had my teenager complains about how bright the power button is. She is really part vampire who loves a pitch black room at night. So for a normal person this is most likely not a concern. I highly recommend it if you have teenagers, pets, or like myself lupus to clean the kid school germs from the air.
