Alen® Paralda - Dual Airflow Air Purifier Tower w/ Silver-Ion Technology, 99% removal of 0.3 microns



Made a huge difference in our home air quality
At the recommendation of my sister, who has bought the Paralda first - we purchased the air purifier for our home. My mother suffers from asthma and terrible allergies and lives with us - so anything we can do to make her more comfortable is worth it.

The Paralda is long and slender yet compact - it easily fit in our living room and didn't stick out like a sore thumb. It is very quiet and has varying speeds. It also had a UV lamp that zaps bacteria - and anything the HEPA air filter doesn't get. I noticed the air seemed fresher and there was less dust on the furniture. It felt like the pristine air you usually find in the dentist office - fresh, cleaner, very comfortable. The Paralda is not noisy at all compared to our Ionic Breeze air purifier we used to keep in my mother's bedroom. The control pad was very easy to figure out - even my mother could manage it on her own.

Great air purifier but user controls lack, re-review after 2 years

I found this not to be the case: one can switch from Programmed mode into Manual by turning the machine OFF and ON again but there is no way to go back to Programmed mode, except for going through the entire programming cycle, again.

o Alen's customer support is mostly non existent. Their only response to my...

Aesthetically pleasing air purifier with one flaw...
I agree with the other reviews that this air purifier looks and functions great. I feel like using it has minimized my allergies. However, when the filter is on, there is also a small light on. I cannot figure out how to turn it off after six months and I have concluded that you cannot turn it off (please comment if I'm wrong and include instructions for turning it off!!). I bought this for my bedroom and I like to have it on overnight. However, the light makes it more difficult. I still gave it 4 stars, b/c I otherwise like it.
