Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rabbit Air BioGS (model 582A - covers 780 sq. ft.) High Quality Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier - Low Maintenance - Washable Filters!, Silver w/ Chrome Accents
Customer Review: 4 stages of filtration!!!!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had my BIO GP 582 for 5 months. We live on a dirt road, have three pets and an occasional "septic" leak that colors our air frequently enough to cause concern. The BIO AIR delivers as promised everytime. We run it on Turbo constantly and after 5 months, the "Filter cleaning light" came on. We soaked the nano and charcoal filters for a couple of minutes and vacuumed the Hepa filter. It is now running like new until time to clean again, we will not have to change the filter for another 13 long months. I also mention this because of some of the concerns about only 2 complete air changes per hour...After only 5 months it had caught enough dirt in our air to require cleaning of the filters.
I am here to testify that there is no need for any more than 2x per hour because the filtration is good enough NOT to need to clean the air more than that!
Let me say that again, the 4 stages of filtration cleans the air so thoroughly that it does not need to replace the air more often than 2X per hour. A less adequate filter system would need to move air more often. I do not find this a flaw.
The Nano filter is SILVER, NOT steel (as one of the reviewers was concerned) Silver is a natural germicidal, I use ionized silver as a sinus/cold reliever, 100% pure sprayed directly in my nose. It is a proven technology and is what sold me to this air purifier. Silver is a very strong germicidal and I appreciate that.
I love the negative ion feature. It delivers natural negative ions into the air and it smells awesome...like a rainforest. This was the second feature that sold me...negative ions without the dangerous ozone.
I can't say enough about this product, I can't wait to get another one so our whole house is covered.
Customer Review: I've tried them all; Rabbit Air BioGP is the best.
Summary: 5 Stars
Before buying the Rabbit Air BioGP 582A, I bought three other units.
The new Oreck Tower Pro XL was first. It was an amazing product, made the entire area smell fresh and the turbo mode is powerful like a rocket. Why did I return it? After a month or so, it started to *hum* in an annoying oscillating way.
Then I tried the Friedrich C-90B. The ugliest unit by far, looks like it was designed in 1970. But it worked great. Why did I return it? After a week it started to *rattle*, the fan blades hitting.
Then I tried the Alen A375. I was impressed, it had a low-tech remote control, seemed advanced compared to the Friendrich but still a dull white color. Why did I return it? It was weak, didn't purify the air or deodorize, and the fan vented air straight up.
So then I found out about this Rabbit, and purchased one. It is by far the most impressive looking unit, Lighted display, high-tech remote, beautifully designed. The good news is its function is as advanced as its features. While the vent is upwards, it is angled so that the entire room gets a blast of fresh purified air. The 4 speeds are perfect, from silent to turbo. The filters are huge, and inexpensive. And it works as good as it looks.
I had some dust on a tv stand from construction work in the area. I blew the dust off, and for the first time, I saw the display light up warning of *bad air*. That is how sensitive it is. After a few minutes, the display warning went down and back to normal.
This is the unit that does it all, does it quietly, and does it while looking great.
Customer Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
Since moving to Virginia, I spend at least a month every spring feeling like I'm waking up with a bad cold. I had promised myself that this year, I would try a good-quality air purifier. I debated among the Sharp FP-N60CX Plasma Cluster Air Purifier, the Mitsubishi PlasmaPure Quiet HEPA Air Purifier, and this one. In the end, they all had high ratings, and I am sure they'd all have worked well, but I liked the looks of this one. Turns out, it looks even cooler in person. More importantly, I wake up feeling great. Also, it's inaudible on the night setting which is important since it's in my bedroom. The smell sensor really works - drop a new pile of laundry near it and it will go off because of that dryer sheet smell. My room is just so much nicer now and although it can't follow me around and take care of my allergies the rest of the day, it let's me get a good night's sleep, which is all I could ask for. To get into the technical side of it, there are two sensors - one for pollen/dust and one for smells. There are indicators on the front which show the mode the unit is in (such as turbo, pollen, night) as well as levels indicators of smell on one side and pollen on the other. I also need to mention that the distributor, SPARO, is wonderful. I asked them by email before my order shipped to send silver instead of white. They responded quickly that that was no problem. Then I let them know that two buttons on my remote didn't work, and they responded immediately that they were overnighting a new one, which they did. Couldn't be happier with them or the product! You can't go wrong with this.Customer Review: Novelist Loves It

Okay, I just replaced the HEPA filter in my unit for the first time (after almost a year of use) and figured I'd write a review. I'm a writer working out of my home and, between sleeping and working, spend a lot of time indoors! I'm so happy with this product that I bought a second one for my writing area. Here's the rundown, negatives first:
Light panel is crazy bright, too bright at nighttime for sleeping. You'll probably want to cover it with something. Also, whenever you change a setting such as fan speed, the ionizer automatically comes back on. No biggie, you'll just have to press the button on the remote to turn it back off. Lastly, you will have some maintenance every few months (vacuum air sensors, vacuum filter, rinse and soak charcoal filter). But I've never had an air filter that didn't require some sort of maintenance. And this product's benefits FAR outweigh the negatives.
Air smells fresher and cleaner, and my allergy/sinus problems are nearly eliminated. Operation is quiet, and if you put it on night mode for sleeping, you can't hear it at all. Overall design is large, but sleek and it fits nicely against a wall. If you're disappointed in other products, give this one a try. After a year of use, I'd STILL highly recommend it to anyone. T.

Customer Review: Excellent Air Purifier - We Own TWO of them Now......
Summary: 5 Stars
We ordered this item this year due to the illness in our home that would not leave. I have 3 kids and they just keep carrying germs back home from school....we all got tired of being sick.
Step 1 - Humidify.
Step 2 - CLEAN the air.
Step 3 - Sleep Peacefully.
The item arrived promptly and setup was a breeze. The documentation was clear and concise and thus removing/installing filters and covers was a breeze. We were up and running in less then 10 minutes.
We have been using it for about 2 months.more or less...in the AUTO mode setting. The unit runs silently 99% of the time...unless it detects dust and or a odor that it feels it must clean....whamo TURBO....
We cook spicy food and sometimes the smell can be overbearing...if not irritating. This thing really fires up when it detects anything out of the norm in the air.
When the heat kicks on and the dust is circulating...the Rabbit hops.
Quick addition 02/20/09: We had family over and moved the unit in the family room so that it would keep the air feeling clean and fresh.... While you cant really hide the great aromas of a family dinner......you can get rid of the musty smells. The rabbit touched turbo once or twice...but it didnt go crazy when it smelled ham or turkey. :-)
