This a dirt cheap portable HEPA room air filter with an excellent design and a cleanable HEPA filter that lasts several years. Replacement HEPA filters are under $25. Air output is around 130 cfm. Quality seems good overall. It is a bit noisy at high output.
I have seen nothing comparable for the price. To get really high grade air cleaning (many room changes per hour - this model will filter a 10x14 room 6xhr.), you will need either a bigger unit or several of these.
