There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought a GermGuardian AC4825 in 2014 and I love it. Its literally been running for 2 years. Its not noisy, doesn't vibrate, and just feels like a good quality item. I have no complaints about it.
It seems like GermGuardian has really let quality slip since then. The AC4100 feels cheap right out of the box. The plastic case is thin, doesn't line up right in some areas. The filter guard clip feels like its going to snap off every time I clean it and does not fit snugly against the filter or case.
My biggest complaint is the noise. The motor or fan is very unbalanced and vibrates. I have to keep it on low or I can hear an annoying vibration two rooms away. I had intended to put this on my desk but even on low the whole desk rattles. If I put it on the wood floor with the fan set on high, its felt throughout my whole apartment.
For the last two months its been on a thick foam mat that I cut to size, this helps dampen the vibration a bit but I still hear it on low.
Having used it for 2 months I must say it does filter the air well and do its intended job. But for the price and quality that I had expected this product was a big let down.
Edit: TL;RD: I should have had my air purifier replaced months ago, I obviously received a bad unit.
I did contact customer support as suggested and linked them this review. They responded the business next day and asked for a receipt and the MFG code on the unit. Much to my surprise customer support replied asking for my address and said they would send me a replacement unit, an hour later I got a replacement order confirmation.
I didn't have to go though the hassle of returning my old unit, they just sent a new one. I have to say I am quite pleased with the customer support, they responded quickly and were very nice even when I expressed my disconcerting attitude towards the product.
I am very happy with the new unit they sent. The case lines up, the filter guard fits snug as it should.
More importantly this unit has no vibration! I couldn't believe the difference, it is so quiet compared to the old unit. On low I can't even tell its on when next to me watching tv. The new unit they sent is a huge difference compared to my original one as far as noise and general quality. It's obvious my original was defective, I should have contacted GermGuardian customer support months ago.
That said I would buy this product again, GermGuardian customer support has done well by me. Assuming that this is the product I should have received in the first place I changed my rating from 1 star to 5 stars.
This product though from Germ Guardian is another level! It's very simple to operate with just one button (the ionizer) and a click-wheel to get through the different fan settings (fan speed). You can immediately SMELL this thing is working, and it's working big time! I have never encountered such a well made air purifier before.
There is some white noise with this machine, but it blocks out other sounds when I use it to sleep so I don't mind. It saves me sinus and headache and allergy medications and issues! The air smells fresh, crisp, and CLEAN! Again, honestly wasn't sure if this item was going to deliver in terms of performance; however, it far exceeds my expectations!
Note: the air does blow out at an angle - probably 45 degrees - it does not blow out straight. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind this, but just a minor inconvenience.
Overall, extremely well made product that has helped my health tremendously! I will be a future customer for life! THANK YOU GERM GUARDIAN!

Me encanto y lo volvería a comprar
Funciona muy bien, sin embargo este modelo es para cuartos más pequeños, si la ponen en espacios más grandes tendrá poco efecto o tardarán días en percibir una mejora del aire aunque esté encendido 24/7, por eso es muy importante entender las siglas y tablas HEPA qué rigen a todos los purificadores y que dan claridad y guía respecto a su eficiencia para limpiar el aire.
La desventaja qué le encuentro es que es muy ruidoso y un tanto difícil de ignorar.

Tiene un foco ultravioleta que elimina los virus en el aire.
Al aventar el aire de frente ayuda a refrescar el cuarto como casi como un ventilador... a diferencia de otros que lo avientan hacia arriba.
CONTRAS: Ruidoso, similar a un aspiradora, a un horno de microhondas
Es casi imposible darle mantenimiento, para abrirlo es muy complicado a mi me gusta abrir mis aparatos para limpiarlos de polvo y este tipo de aparatos acumulan mas polvo por su tipo de uso. Y para repararlo en caso de falla es igual muy complicado.
Tiene una advertencia del gobierno de California donde indica: "Este aparato puede contener elementos que llevan plomo" (supongo la pintura) ... y eso es la gota que derramó el vaso... por todo lo anterior y encima esto... me había gustado al comienzo pero el no poder abrirlo fácilmente para limpiarlo o repararlo me molesta demasiado.
