Customer Review: RabbitAir BioGS NOT WORTH THE $$$
Summary: 1 Stars
SAVE YOUR MONEY!! DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED! I bought this air purifier about 6 months ago because my son has asthma. Read many reviews all raving about the product. All the reviews made great claims- a lot of money but worth it because it improved air quality so much. Some reviewers said they had asthma and since getting this purifier their symptoms have greatly improved. Other people mentioned how many pets they had and how the air purifier was able to keep up with the hair, dust and odor. So I decided to spend the extra money and get what I thought was going to be an exceptional air purifier and I COULD NOT BE MORE DISAPPOINTED. I only have one dog and it can't keep up with that. WE HAVE HARDLY SEEN ANY IMPROVEMENT IN AIR QUALITY, DUST ETC. We probably could have bought an air purifier for less than half the price and gotten the same results. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased one of these purifiers and can say they perform as promised. I did quite a bit of research on these units and I had been using an older unit from Holmes for a few years but needed something for a new nursery in our home. I had always been pleased with the Holmes unit and was always aware that it was doing its job. I was not expecting, therefore, to find a unit that was so superior and didn't cost an arm and a leg. The filtering system is much more efficient than the Holmes unit since it is not broken into separate filtering sections. There is also an airtight seal so there seems to be no "spillage" of un-purified air. IT senses changes in air and odor quality and the automatic function makes this a great deal and a joy to use. The only issue to keep in mind before buying is where you will put it in your home. It is smaller than some of the more expensive units but still takes up a significant amount of space. It is attractive so it's not an eyesore, but it should not be against the wall. If you have the space I highly recommend this product. When the time comes, I will buy another.Customer Review: use objective criteria for comparison between models
Summary: 4 Stars
One note to potential buyers, when comparing models from different manufacturers, do not simply rely on the square footage recommendations because each manufacturer assumes a different number of "air exchange per hour." Instead, use CFM (cubic foot per minute) as the only objective criterion on how much air goes through the units. Rabbit air assumes 2 air change per hour, while Blue air assumes 6 (more stringent.)
Same for noise level. For example, I compared the Blueair 501 that I have been using for years against the specs of rabbit air - the highest setting on rabbit air delivers 208 CFM at 50db noise level, while blueair 501 delivers 247 CFM (at the second highest setting) at 49db. So the noise level is similar but blueair delivers 18% more air. So for the same performance, Blueair is still quieter. Don't get me wrong, I am highly interested in rabbit air and might get one in near future. I found the blueair too bulky and the filter costs too much (replaced every 6 mos) though I would be curious to see if the ongoing maintenance cost of rabbit air is as little as they claim.
Customer Review: Could this be the one??
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Rabbit Air 582A air purifier because my neighbors above me are chain smokers and while they don't smoke inside I can't open my windows during the warm months. I also have pretty bad allergies. I have been using it for about two weeks now. I definitely notice that I sneeze less. I love that it removes odor. I rarely cook because I hate the smell that lingers around. The other night I made seafood and the smell was horrible. This air purifier removed it up within 2 hours. It has a sensor and the speed of the fan kicks on when it detectors odor. I have it 24/7 and we will see if it lives up to my expectation. I am going to see how it performs within the next 6 months before purchasing a second one for my living room. I will post updates if anything comes up. So far so good.
Pros:
quiet operation (don't even notice it is on when set on low setting)
removes odor
less sneezing
sensor indicator
light weight
bright display lights serve as night light
Cons:
Price of filters
Customer Review: Top Notch Performer
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very impressed with this air purifier, the Rabbit Air BioGS Model 582A. It's very well designed right down to the packaging (takes 3 mins. to unpack and set-up). Clearly written instructions which are almost unnecessary since the machine is so intuitive and does a terrific job in the AUTO mode. Easy to operate remote control the size of a credit card. The key to this purifier is the HIGHLY sensitive sensors -- one for odors and one for particles (like dust). They really, REALLY work! I smoke and within 30 seconds of "lighting up," the sensors detect the smoke and the machine revs up into a higher cleaning mode. When the air is clean, it cycles downward. On the lowest speed it is extremely quiet; on the highest speed it's louder of course, but still pretty quiet. The lighted display panel lets you know exactly what it is doing and is easy to read. It produces negative ions but no ozone. Two of the three filters are washable and the third lasts 18 - 24 months (and is reasonably priced). The display panel lets you know when it is time to clean or replace the filters.
