Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These units were a huge disappointment for me. I purchased 4 of them (2 were for myself and the others were for a family member). I had high hopes and expectations due to the other glowing reviews. Here's why these "air purifiers" get 1 star from me:
1) I've had these units for a little over 3 weeks and one of them has already quit working!! It will not turn on at all. I've checked everything there is to check and it's definitely the unit that has broken. ***Update: All but 1 of these 4 units has quit working entirely! This happened only maybe 2 or 3 months into owning them. They are absolutely worthless pieces of junk. It's not the power cables or anything simple that could be fixed - they just died and it certainly isn't worth having them repaired because they never *really* worked to begin with!***
2) Granted I am someone who keeps up with cleaning the house, you practically have to have a magnifying glass just to see one speck of dirt on the electrostatic plate after having the unit running continuously this whole time (almost 3 weeks). With most air purifiers, you have to clean the rod once every 7-10 days maximum because it should collect so much debris, germs, etc. from the air you breathe. I thought maybe I just got unlucky and received a couple of bad units but it turns out my family member's purifiers are behaving the exact same way. On top of that, hers actually interferes with the television signal so she can't use it in the living room regardless of where she places it.
3) Air purifiers are supposed to help people with allergies breathe easier, right? Apparently not with the 3Q Air Purifiers. This is the main reason I bought these. I suffer from asthma/allergies pretty badly and the doctors recommended purifying the air. It hasn't helped one single bit. In fact, I performed a test just to see what this unit was "sucking in" from the air. I have friends/family that come over and smoke occasionally in my home and I had them blow that smoke directly at the vents on this unit. It didn't even pick up/pull in the smoke! It just continued to drift in the air as if there were no purifiers to be found.
4) The unit feels cheap. It's extremely lightweight plastic that it's made of so it doesn't feel durable at all. It's nice to have a purifier that doesn't weigh a ton for people who can't lift heavy objects but this just feels like you purchased it from the dollar store.
5) They're very small - way too small in my honest opinion. Being compact is one thing but I don't feel a unit of this size could perform well (if at all) in a room that is of average size or bigger. The rooms I had them in were average to large and perhaps that's part of the problem. But nowhere on their product description does it list room size limitations, at least not at the time I purchased my sets.
**A side note regarding another con is that it took a while for the package to arrive. I don't know if it was just delayed shipping from 3Q's facility or UPS' mistake but it was about 2 weeks + getting here. Also, from my personal experience, so called "customer service" from this company leaves a LOT to be desired. They are very unhelpful.
I don't know how effective the UV light really is but it's a nice thought. Its fans are also pretty quiet. Compared to other air purifiers, these are much more inexpensive. However, I think the saying is true often enough: "You get what you pay for." And when something doesn't work - even if you paid much less in comparison, it still seems like an awful lot when you don't have anything to show for it.
So, I don't know what caused the other reviewers' units to work but what I do know is that neither mine or my family member's did. I'm extremely disappointed with both this company and their product. I hope this review helps someone. I wish I had better things to say.
