Atem Desk White Portable Air Purifier – German-Crafted, Superior Virus & Pollutant Filtration, Compact Design for Home & Office

Der IQAir Luftreiniger ist ein sehr hochwertiges, auch in der höchsten Stufe noch leises, sehr schön aussehendes Gerät, das bestens in mein Arbeitszimmer passt und mit dem ich sehr zufrieden bin.

I own two IQAir Health Mate Pros, which are the most effective air cleaners available, but a little bulky for trying to take on an airplane. When this came out, I had to give it a try. Happy to say that I've traveled with it three times, just packed in a bag, and it has given me blissful sleep on the pillows, sheets, and mattresses where I was staying.You need to set this up close to your head. It's not meant to clean the room, but to produce a zone of clean air around your head. On the highest of the three settings, it's audible, but that's about all. On the two lower settings the sound is barely noticeable.The quirks: (it wouldn't be IQAir without quirks) First, you plug the cord into the side of the unit and into the wall. You may need an extension cord in some hotel rooms, to run the power from the outlet to your face. The cord is reasonably long, but for some hotel rooms may just not be long enough. So bring an extension cord.The stand is actually cool. But, when you attach the disc-shaped unit to the stand, it doesn't really CLICK into place. Rather, it SLIPS into place. Result: If you try to pick up and move the unit, the stand may fall off. It'd be nice if it had some kind of positive attachment to the lozenge.I have no idea, obviously, how long the filter will last. I do know that I'm really glad to have this, and believe it will open up a world of travel that I thought I had lost.Edit: After a few months of ownership, I decided to try using this in my bedroom, every night, to help me sleep. The good news is that it works as well at home as it did in a hotel room. The bad news is that the filters don't last long at all. I run it on the highest speed, 3, for about 8 hours each night, and after about a month I'm starting to clog up and wake up coughing. Nor is it a slow decline. Rather, one night I'm fine, one night I struggle, and then it's hopeless. Too bad. But if you look at the filters you can see that they are rather small, without much surface area, and so it's no surprise that they fill up quickly.Once again, others whose allergies are somewhat less savage than mine may get more out of each filter. But this will be my travel filter rather than every day. I will not reduce the rating, because this was an unknown rather than an expectation, and this will still be the ultimate travel air purifier. But if you use it for travel, you may want to track the number of hours use, and when you get near to 250, swap it out if you're about to go on the road.Edit #2: The really interestingly-shaped filter sits inside this thing wrapped around the top and the back side, which I realized might cause problems with filter longevity. Why? Because dust can settle out of the air directly onto the filter, by traveling down. Unlike the big tall house-sized units that I also reviewed. So I started putting a plastic bag over the unit when not in use.Good news! Doing this about doubles the filter life for me. Going from one month to two months per filter is definitely worth it, given that all I do is put a trash bag over the thing. It still costs me about a dollar a night, but my sleep is so much better that it's worth it.Edit #3: After about a year of use I noticed that filter life was starting to tank. When you change a filter, you'll notice a second, smaller lift-off cover that has a little curved piece of styrofoam under it. This is the muffler, to reduce the already miniscule amount of sound the unit produces. Trying to clean this made it worse, but removing it entirely resolved the problem, and the unit is barely louder. So you may want to consider ditching this. It doesn't seem to be a replacement part, but I plan to go to the hardware store, buy matching foam, and cut out a replacement. I'll let you know.

Absolutely amazing. Works perfectly. Im the owner of 4 air doctors and was still struggling with a stuffy nose and puffy eyes from allergies. Put the iq atom in my bedroom and it has helped so much. I will be adding more to my smaller rooms and getting the larger version for my main living area.

This is an excellent air purifier! I have used it 24 hours a day for over 30 days. It maintains the PM 2.5 level in my 20 sq ft bedroom at 0 - 1 particle effortlessly on the lowest setting and is very quiet. While using air-conditioning or heating, it maintains sweet and fresh air. Amazing difference in air quality. Great product.

Purchased this to improve the air quality in my dusty home office close to oil refineries that I've been forced to work in since to covid. Made a huge difference in concentration, headache, sore throat, etc that the poor air quality was causing. I have multiple chemical sensitivities and have tried several other mid to high priced air purifiers (Austin air, aller air, winix, Honeywell insight, levolt) and the IQ air purifier is the best so far. I'm sold on iq air and will be purchasing the Health pro plus for the rest of my condo.There was a very strong chemical smell that thankfully went away after one day of running the atem on high.The Bluetooth app is great and the base is stable and made of high quality material. Not sure why other reviews said otherwise.Definitely recommend this product.
