VEVA Air Purifier for Home, Large Room, Bedroom, HEPA Filter & 4 Activated Carbon Pre-Filters - Removes Allergens, Pets Hair, Dust, Dander, Smoke, Odor - Pro Elite 8000

I love these air purifiers so much I bought 2. Great buy and worth the price.

I have had several air purifiers in the past and this one is my favorite! There is settings 1-3. I generally keep mine at 2, as I like a very small background noise, but when I’m not in the room or I’m at work I like to turn it to the highest setting, 3, which I love because it is so strong and powerful, but a little too loud at that high setting for my personal comfort. The high setting would work perfect for an office though that needs the sound of a noise machine for confidentiality!It does have a pre filter of sorts that catches the “larger” dust, but think even like the layer of dust that would normally line your shelves. I have a dusty home, living with 4 cats in a smaller place, but between my air purifier and vacuuming regularly you really wouldn’t know it. Again, 4 cats. Think about all that dust and hair. With knowing that I have a generally dusty home, I clean the pre filter about once a week. This keeps it running optimally and helps get more dust out of the air! Usually I will shake the pre filter outside or if I’m feeling really enthusiastic I’ll vacuum it with the vacuum hose. Pro tip: wack the pre filter against a column or edge of a building to really clear it out. You can see in my photos the before and after of cleaning out the pre filter. From my experience, doing this sort of maintenance cleaning on your pre filter regularly will help keep the main filter cleaner longer. The main filter is what needs replaced eventually every now and then, which is why I try to extend the life of it as much as possible! You can usually buy off brand replacement filters for cheaper on Amazon. I’ve been running my air purifier *literally* non stop for about two months and my main filter is still doing very good still, given my regular pre filter cleanings.The settings are very easy to use and the cover to the filter comes off with ease, yet I don’t worry about it falling off. No tools needed!!! The filter has some Velcro that the pre filter sits on, so you don’t have to do some sort of balancing act to put it back together. Unlike other air purifiers, you don’t need to flip it any which way to take the filter out and clean it, just pop the cover off and that’s it. I know I can’t be the only one that having to flip something over (like others I’ve had) would deter me from cleaning my pre filter. It’s very true, trust me.It is very sturdy, even with my four crazy cats running around. I don’t ever worry about them knocking it over at all, which is very important for an air filter, as they can become very noisy if damaged from falling. I’ve had it happen to a previous, very expensive air purifier and it was not fun. This is much more sturdy than even the expensive one I’ve had in the past.Really, I like this one a whole lot more than any air purifier I’ve ever had. 100% recommend. Honestly I’ll buy another one eventually.

UPDATE (09-18-2024)The seller made this matter right, for which I am grateful, and I thank them again for doing so, at least proving that they have excellent customer service.UPDATE (08-27-2024)I take it back. This second unit is evidently using a cheaper, less-powerful fan, or the power supply isn't providing enough power to the fan. It took me awhile to notice, but I finally became aware that the airflow from this unit at the highest speed was about half of the airflow of the original one of these two units that I bought. At first I thought it might be the one filter that comes with the units, so I switched it out for one of the new ones I just purchased separately; and, unfortunately, it still has the same airflow problem. I'm understandably concerned that the restricted airflow is putting too much of a strain on the fan motor. but I can't use the unit without the main, actual HEPA filter. So, I'm asking the seller to please make this situation right. (And, if you do, I thank you ahead of time.)ORIGINAL REVIEWThis is the second one of these "good boys" that I've purchased [this time because I got such a good deal on Prime Day(s) earlier this month], and I've been very happy with them (even though I'm now going to have to buy twice as many of the expensive filters to last twenty months---since I change them once every five months. Fortunately, they come with one set of filters, and I already recently bought four sets of filters for the first one of these HEPA units that I purchased. (They're both the same model, so they use the very same filters.)I realized that one of these units was not enough for the level of square footage in my apartment; so, because I saved quite a bit of money on Prime Day(s) for the second one, I decided to purchase it and put it in the living room (the original one is in my bedroom). Additionally, the diesel exhaust dust here is extremely bad since I live only one block from a major freeway, thus I also wanted a second one of these units in order to more thoroughly deal with that situation. And it, along with other actions I've taken to cut down on the dust, are doing a very good job of removing that dust from the air. [I can tell because my regular fan doesn't "cake-up" with a bunch of black diesel dust as much or as fast as it used to before my remediation(s).]PROS1.) These HEPA filter units are quite reasonably priced [especially if they're marked down for Prime Day(s) and/or Black Friday days].2.) They look nice, too.3.) They do a very good job of filtering the air.4.) They have three speed settings (though I always use them 24/7/365 at the highest speed because I don't consider the sound level of the fan to be too high, and it doesn't bother me).CONS1.) The replacement filters are what I consider to be extremely expensive (about $35.00 for one set of four filters).Otherwise, there's no other cons as far as I'm concerned, and I highly recommend these units for making the air you're breathing in your home much more healthy, particularly for those who suffer from asthma and/or other breathing problem(s).

Great product. Quiet and easy to move around.
