      I have the core mini purifier and once I turn it on and the on light and blower light chosen is on a minute or so the lights go out. I have a larger one and the lights stay on all the time it is running! Are the lights to stay on the mini one when in operating mode?

    If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!

      Also in meinen wohnzimmer hab ich 18m2 und der 400s schaft es den raum bei stufe 1 sauber zu halten
      Im schlafzimmer hab ich 15m2 und der schaft bei geschlossenen türen das schlafzimmer im schlafmodus sauber zu halten
      Und den mini wechsel ich regelmäßig durch die räume durch und ich muss sagen nach 3 stunden auf stufe 3 verringert er die gerüche merkbar

      I have one of their desktop purifiers for my bedroom. It’s got three settings, one is a nighttime mode, and really is very quiet. But even the next level up isn’t too noisy for nights (at least not for me). The highest level is too noisy for sleeping. If you go straight to their website you can see what they offer.

    I don’t have this mini unit but do have three of their core 300 air purifiers and am sold on their products.. although I did have a minor issue with a small squealing noise in one unit after a couple years. Still, not bad. comes and goes - it only happens now and then.
    We keep one in the basement where we burn firewood in the winters. Makes a huge difference in minimizing smoke smells, and is less musty in summers. We’re breathing easier with these around the house.
    If you’re on the fence I’d say go for it. It’s a good brand.
    Oh yeah, if you vacuum the filter every so often it lasts quite a bit longer.
