Westinghouse 1701 True HEPA Air Purifier - Medical-Grade NCCO Technology Air Purifiers for Home, Removes Allergens, Pet Dander, Smoke, Odors, Air Purifier 300 sq ft.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this purifier because it is HSA/FSA eligible and I was intrigued by the NCCO technology which I have not seen offered on more popular purifier brands. I got this because we have cats and dogs, and live in a rural area with lots of pollen producing oak trees that leave a yellow pollen layer on everything in the springtime. I end up getting sinus infections and spend oa week or two terribly sick. The basement in my house has a damp moldy smell because the air is stagnant. I plugged this in my 12’ x 20’ basement bedroom. In an hour or so there was a very noticeable difference. When I wake up in the morning, I am no longer congested. I have used another air purifier and noticed improvement, but not as much as with this one. The air smells clean. I think the ncco and hepa combination is very effective at removing pet and damp odors from the air. I ran into the problem that other reviewers have mentioned when the display malfunctions and the EE notification and NCCO light turns red. I emailed support and they said to do this:Air Purifier Fixunplug the unit for 30 seconds or longerplug it back in1. Power the machine off.2. Then hold the power button down until you hear the click. Once you hear the click release the power button and press the fan speed up button. Speed will go up from 3 to 4 and code will appear on the display and unit will shut off.3. Repeat step 2 but when you hear the click , release the power button and press the fan speed down button. Speed will go down one level and a code will appear and the unit will shut off.4. Just power the machine on and the light will be blue.5. If the letters on the display seem off, have the customer unplug the machine and re-plug it. This is to be done after the machine has been reset if necessary.That worked for me and I haven’t had any problems since. I have also tried this upstairs in the living room and it works great. I cranked it up to 10 since there is a lot of open space square footage. After a few hours the air quality is noticeably improved. My nose is less runny and animal odors are gone. This purifier is a bit noisy running on high, but it is a nice white noise so it doesn’t bother me. The video is of the sound running on level 10.

Love that the price is no longer overpriced! The only way to get the VOCs is by 25 lbs of carbon or this unit which has Volcanic Ash to absorb the chemicals. I had the smaller unit and it works! I get fragrance in my condo from people who have normalized heavy fragrance use. This kills the fragrance when it comes into my condo!

Do not buy this air purifier! As a previous reviewer also indicated, my air purifier stopped working at about six months. I contacted Westinghouse customer support which appears to be located in Hong Kong. They barely speak English. They initially said to unplug the machine then plug it back in then press the on button rapidly. As you can imagine, that did nothing. I reported back, then they said they do not make this model anymore. So I thought, well let me try a new filter. Now there are no replacement filters available even if it did work! I checked Amazon, Home Depot, etc. Westinghouse is no longer making them. I contacted Amazon to see if there was anything they could do to assist, and they said no! Amazon used to stand by their products. I understand it is beyond the return window but when there is no alternative, they should offer some sort refund or replacement. This was a waste of $250! At the very least, Amazon needs to take this product off the website so no one else has to waste their money! Ugh!

WE LOVE THESE!! I ordered 9 of these for our home. Every bedroom has one and the main living room. We have noticed a difference in our air quality and the pollen that sneaks into your home has definitely been reduced. My husband noticed it and he was really skeptical of these purifiers. He is now a believer!!

The bright lights on this thing interfere with my sleep and trigger a migraine. I hope the manufacturer will give a way to turn it off or disable it. It's a real downer for such an otherwise excellent product. But as now the choice I have is between clean air at night or pain-free and restful sleep.I've been using one since July 14 and am impressed with its performance.I am on the road in a truck camper and , being asthmatic, havebeen concerned aabout air quality. Initially, my concerns were regarding dust and pollen. Recently heavy smoke from wildfires affecting NE Washimgton have resulted in dangerous air quality for me.I am astounded at how good the air is in the camper compared to the smoke, ash, and dust filled air outside. I can occasionally smell a hint of smoke in here after I open the door but the purifier takes it out faster than I could have hoped.I even placed it on the bed, aimed at my face, while I sleep. I no longer wake up in the morning feeling like I've smoked a pack of cigarettes in a smoky bar.Thank you for.this product. You have saved me from the emergency room, and have made my living conditions exponentially better.I just ordered a second unit in case this one fails.

much smaller than i expected but it packs a powerful punch, noticed a difference in air quality with in 15 or so minuets of running it in a 20ft travel trailer. the internal battery lasts quite a while on a single charge for both the high and low setting, the plugged in option is nice because it will charge and run at the same time. changing the functions is extremely easy with a one touch color coded button first click is low shows a white color second is high shows a blue color third click is off. unit does randomly shut off on both settings for any where around 20 min to an hour and half then will kick back on and run for several hours before kicking off again, not sure if its a protection feature or a "cool down" phase but is a little disconcerting the first few times you notice it not running. very quiet on the low setting and fairly quiet on the high setting would compare it to the same noise level of a newer heat pump register running.
