Surround Air N-Lite 5000 Multi-Function HEPA Air Purifier, Metallic


Product Description

The N-Lite 5000 offers a more enlightened approach to air purification on many levels, representing an affordable way to gain the benefits of multiple, proven technologies in one purifier. Now, you do not have to choose between this enlightened, multi-function concept, and an affordable air purifier. The multiple functions include a high-efficiency allergen filter, which is 99.7% efficient at removing airborne particles. Unlike other filters that can serve as breeding grounds for micro-organisms, the N-Lite 5000 also features a germ-killing UV lamp and a built-in ionizer, proven to enhance the performance of filters. The N-Lite 5000 not only covers you against allergens and micro-organisms, but it also includes an activated carbon filter, which is the most effective way to trap chemicals, odors and cigarette smoke. The enlightenment does not stop here. New photocatalytic technology has also been added to this revolutionary air purifier. This form of air purification has been found to add a whole other safety net against pollutants, effectively removing chemicals (including VOCs such as formaldehyde), bacteria and odors. You will also find that an air purifier can be sleek and contemporary in design. The elliptical design of the N-Lite 5000 is not just attractive. The elliptical shape also maximizes air movement covering up to 300 square feet. You will also “see the light” in a literal way, as the cover can be removed to enable this purifier to double as an alluring night light. The N-Lite 5000 also features low replacement costs of just $35 per year for replacement filter and UV lamps.

Customer Reviews

Cool beans4
Does what it says it does, it purifies air quite nicely, had it next to the cat litter box and the smell went right away.
It is made a bit cheaply though, the overall feel of the unit is cheap, and the interface had some minor glitches when I first used it, but I'm quite sure that's due to the filter cartridge not being all the way in. The UV nightlight is perfect, the color and brightness is absolutely wonderful for a nightlight, which I have never been a fan of [nightlights].
I also experienced sputtering, and the fan isn't the quietest, however I have grown used to it; the pros of the air purification outweigh the cheapness feel of the unit.
Overall I would recommend this product, albeit the fan issues.

Not bad3
So this product is relatively cheap as far as air cleaners go, and since I didn't want to spend too much money and saw some decent reviews on[...] - I went for it.

However, this isn't any diamond in the rough. It's not that attractive, and is pretty loud in comparison to an old Oreck I had. There's little difference between low, medium, and high fan speeds and fan noise. Furthermore, when I had first received it, it had seemed that the fan was sputtering rather than running smoothly and calmly. It's this sputtering that is most annoying. I don't mind constant fan noise, I actually kind of like it when going to sleep. But the problem here is that it's not constant.

I've noticed it has gotten a little better, which is odd, and this is only my third day of owning it. However, the cheap manufacturing shines through. Though I think there has been some improvement in the air (probably has been), I'd be lying to you if I told you I could discern it.

Part of me wishes I shelled out an [..] and bought a better well-known brand, but overall, it's alright. I turn it off when I'm watching TV in my room as it interrupts, and if it cleans the air (lets hope it does), that's the most important part.
