Airdog X5 Home Air Purifier

I live in NYC & use my home as a studio for making fashion items so there’s a lot of silk & wool fabrics on hangers along with a ton of clutter because I’m your stereotypical designer that has a lot of unnecessary “pretty” objects & all of it accumulates massive amounts of dust! I pre-wash all my fabrics & they aren’t on rolls so it isn’t a typical industrial work studio, but there’s a lot of fabric everywhere. Dust is my nemesis & my Miele vacuum cleaner is aside from my sewing machines, my favorite tool I’ve ever bought, & Airdog x5 now joins that list. Recently I sealed my bedroom windows shut along every seam with heavy duty tape in an attempt to mitigate the dust that flows in. Initially it helped, but the dust soon returned & the Airdog helped me figure out why. More on that later. We have an older BlueAir model that uses hepa filters which in theory needs to be changed once every 12 months, but have discovered in air-polluted NYC, that’s not the case & they actually need to be changed out closer to every 4 months, which is exorbitantly expensive at $90 a pop. What I’ve read & witnessed first hand is that once the filters are clogged, it just blows the dust back out. Vacuuming it doesn’t help according to science papers I’ve read on the matter. The BlueAir is now just another surface to put stuff on since getting the Airdog. We’ve only had the Airdog x5 for 5 days & I definitely love it, but there are some caveats on how I will use it. I read an older scientific study on Sharper Image’s Ionic Breeze compared alongside other brands focusing on ozone emission & although all the models in the study emit FAR FAR higher levels of ozone than the Airdog, it still was a huge concern for me. According to the study, the further away from the air flow & if run at lower speeds, your exposure to ozone decreases & that seems to be the case anecdotally in my case. Also the third oxygen molecule will eventually dis-attach making it o2 again in a couple hours which is comforting. The first night I tried sleeping with the machine in the bedroom on level 3 about 10 feet away from me. I woke up with a clear nose but a headache which is unusual for me. The next day I placed the machine in the hallway at level 4 & it seems so far to be a good compromise. I’m mildly stuffy, but not too much so & barely a headache. Maybe I’ll try level 3 next... I read an article claiming that the bedroom has a lot of dust because of the bed... & that is absolutely the case. While running the Airdog on highest & making the bed like they do in hotels (lots of movement & fluffing of pillows), the number on the machine went over 200. It generally stays around 7-10. I run the machine on high & leave the room & it clears the room in about half an hour. As for the dust on the objects & tables next to the bed, they still accumulate dust, but it’s a LOT less dust than before. I guess completely eradicating dust is a pipe dream, but not constantly dusting everything 24/7 is helpful nonetheless. Also in another accidental experiment, I turned the machine off in order to burn some herbs to clean the air (no it wasn’t Mary Jane but no judgements) & the number on the Airdog hit 373!!!!!! Ran it on high & it cleared the smoke in the air within a half an hour or so. Hence even visually, this machine really does work:) I would consider getting 2, but the minute amount of ozone it emits is still slightly concerning for me because generally speaking there isn’t any airflow other than a couple vents in our apartment so I just move it around like it’s actually a pet dog. If I had a baby I definitely wouldn’t put him/her right next to the machine for extended amounts of time because I’m a bit of a health nut, but I do think if used responsibly & carefully, everyone could find use for this machine in their home or office. As with medications of any sort it’s a question of risk vs. reward & for me the reward of cleaner air & less dust outweighs any risk.

Very quite and efficient. Easy to operate.

I can appreciate living in a home with fresh smelling clean air. Not only smelling clean but knowing I have a purifier that is sanitizing the air.over the years I have bought quite a collection of useless heap filter units. Big claims with those but none have germ killing capability like the Airdog. From the time I took it out of the box and then turned it on. I could tell that very clean air was guaranteed for years to come. The X5 is well made and so easy to use. Thank Airdog....oh and if you call customer service in Ca. Be prepared to be educated on the great properties of the Airdog.

Good

I have breathing problems due to asthma and COPD. My apartment is also very dusty due to the remodeling. I bought the Airdog 5 to purify my apartment. I have only had it a few weeks but it works tremendously. Glad I shopped around and got this air purifier.

I moved into an apartment where some of the neighbors and the former tenant are smokers. Within half an hour of plugging in this air purifier, my apartment smelled clean, and I could breathe so much more easily. Then a plumbing issue necessitated removing some drywall in the bathroom, which caused a ton of debris from the walls to go airborne. Again, within half an hour the air was clear, and the AQI was back down into the single digits. I love this air purifier!

Super effective, sleek, quiet, and no filters to buy!

So far, my wife is happy with Airdog X5 Air Purifier. Happy wife, happy life. (lol)

Excellent so far! Easy to use and seems to move a lot of air.

This is the best air filter I've had. I'm in love with it. My cat litter box is in the room with where I sleep. I no longer have any odors at all. Due to the cat dandruff I have a hard time breathing. It is hard for me to sleep at night but since I have the X5 I am sleeping all night now and breathing through my nose again. Also my cat is sleeping back on my bed again and I don't hear him snoring as much as I used to. This is a product I can recommend and the most important thing is you don't have to buy those expensive HEPA filters. I like the electrostatic filter much better because you take it out and wash it and let it dry and stick it back in in your good to go. That can save you lots of money in the long run because HEPA filters can get pretty expensive.

I did a full review of the Airdog X5 on my blog and its definitely five stars. I wanted to wait a few months so I could share the cleaning experience. It's so simple to clean. It took no effort at all, just rinsing and removing dust. We're very happy with the Airdog and glad that it is CARB certified (by the California Air Respouces Board). You won't go wrong owning this great device - we're so glad to know that our air a fresh and clean!

I think it will be much better if the air inlet on both sides are bigger.

Very pleased with the product. Very quiet in low speed. Found out how good it could work when I fried a pound of bacon. Air quality sensor was running around 10 until I cooked the bacon. Went to almost 300 in a few minutes. Only took about two hours till it was back down to 10-11. No trace of bacon smell left in the house. This product works very well. Thank you.

I set the dog a bit far from where I usually spend the time so would like to have app to monitor/manage/record air quality. Otherwise the product is good ;)

My wife has allergy problems. Medications don't quite take care of the without unwanted side effects. This plug-and-play product is the perfect solution! We set it in the mid section of our 1 1/2 story ranch. Withing 20 minutes of turning on our Airdog X5 her symptoms went away! GREAT technology - and worth every penny!

great customer service and x5 is working great

I've struggled with allergic rhinitis for years. That an a deviated septum keep me from sleeping well at night. I was sure that poor indoor air quality in my house was compounding the problem. A friend purchased the Airdog and told me how much of a difference it made in her home so I decided to buy one for my bedroom I have been very pleased with the results. I'm sleeping much better at night and am having to take much less allergy medication. I even bought a second unit to put in the front of the house. The bonus gifts of the mini juicers were great too. I'll be giving those out as Christmas presents. Excellent product. Thank you. R. Flora - Jacksonville, FL

I absolutely love this X5 home purifier so much I ordered another one the same day I received the first one. The numbers of partials went down to 8 the first hour it was running. The next X5 home purifier is going on the 2nd floor in my home. I told my family and many of my friends already about my X5 home purifier. I almost believe I could easily sell them because many on my friends are looking into buying one. I like that it also gets rid of viruses and allergies and partials in the air. I also love that I don’t need to buy any high price replacement filters again. The two reasons why I bought two X5 home purifiers. A lot cleaner air in my home and no more replacing filters. Also they have good customer service too. I did call them already and ask them some questions.

Didn’t realize how bad the air was until I started this up. With dogs running and playing thru the living room air quality was in the red zone. Cleanses the air quickly. So impressed.

Excellent product! I have only had it for a week, but there is a noticeable difference in the air in my condo. The Air Quality Indicator on the unit is a big plus, as you can actually see it working its magic! I have not had to clean the filter yet, but I am looking forward to it, as it sure beats paying $70+, twice a year, for a disposable filter. I would highly recommend this air purifier. Job very well done, Airdog!

When my mother-in-law cooks it takes away the smell fast. Works great so far.

We have a fifth wheel camper. It’s new so all the new smells irritate my throat and nasal passages. It’s actually the chemicals that make it fire retardant etc. Well we we headed to Cape Hatteras. I plugged in the air cleaner and it stated it was 175 the red light was on. I knew it was unhealthy! It took about 20 minutes on high and the numbers dropped to 30s eventually to 11-15 for the week. After it cleared the chemical odor left it was a clean like fresh rain smell to the camper. I am eternally grateful for this purifier.

This company not only has the best purifier on the market, but their customer service is out of this world! We bought one of these for our house and it has been phenomenal. Fortunately we had it before we found mold under our kitchen floors and used it extensively while replacing the floor. We just found out our 3 month old granddaughter has to be on some very strong steroids and her immune system will be greatly weakened so we called Airdog and they worked with us to not only get a unit to us ASAP, but also gave us a great deal.

I purchased the Airdog x5 for my wife who suffers from severe allergies. When the x5 arrived, she plugged it in and noticed the difference in her symptoms within an hour or so. She has never been able to smell odors very well, but she said that she could feel the difference in the air. From that first night, she has not had to take her allergy pills and both she and I are amazed. I did a lot of research on air purifiers and personally corresponded with the CEO of the company (Yan), who was extremely nice and very helpful. My final decision to purchase the Airdog x5 was based on the price point, the fact that there are no filters that need to be changed regularly, and the good feeling that I got from corresponding with Yan.

I have used a inhaler, twice a day morning and night, for 4 years. Today was the first morning I didn’t take my two puffs. All the proof I need! I wiped down the filter and was astonished by the amount of dust after just a couple weeks.

We LOVE our AirDogs and the customer service the company has provided us with!!! Yan is always available and extremely helpful. We pretty much have one per classroom...The kids have even named their AirDogs (true story). Keep up the Good work while we keep up with the God work :) - Covenant Christian Academy

I can not live without my airdog. I have two Australian Shepherds who love to stir up the air. I can see my Airdog working! I breathe easier knowing my air quality is better for me and my pets! Oh and I don't just have one Airdog. I own two and I'm about to buy another one for my basement.

It is so awesome how I can see when quality of air is being cleaned

Does the job better than I thought it would !! I can breathe easier when I sleep !! Only one draw back though - I have to clean it every other week or so ! It starts making a ticking sound ! Maybe it’s because I am a smoker and collecting plates get dirty really fast !! Any help in this would be appreciated !!

This air purifier is the BEST on yet. I have 3 other Hepa filter units and they will leak dust and have a smell too. But I do love that I don't have to buy extra filters and the smells have gone. The problem I have now is that I have to either keep buying filters for the other units or Throw them away. Well thanks for the clean AIR-- Dog

I bought this air purifier for my rental condo. I have been battling with the association and the discomfort of my tenant for months regarding a lingering stale air odor mixed with smoke. My tenant is very happy and he says that there is no odor whatsoever. He's happy and so am I. Thank you.

The filter works fantastically. I am really happy with the hardware. I sleep a lot better at night with it on.

It beats the heck out of buying and changing HEPA filters for other air purifiers I have, and not having to worry whether filters for particular model is not available.

My room even smells clean.

It has significantly cut down on the airborne dust in our house which has been a problem in our 67 year old house. When I plugged the unit in, I saw a red light and a 167 reading. We are now down to readings under 40 and the dust is no longer an issue. I ordered 2 more units for our 3600sp/ft house!

I suffer from chronic Hayfever and must say that after the first hour of running the Airdog my symptoms have reduced considerably!

I have mine tilted towards me next to my bed and the cool breeze is great. Without a doubt, this well-made machine is one of my favourite purchase.

I was shocked to see all the dust and dirt when I cleaned the filter. I cannot believe this is the air I used to breathe everyday!

Since receiving my unit, I have not had a problem with breathing as a result of nasal congestion or a blocked/stuffy nose due to high dust particles in the air. This is the primary reason I pledged for one and so far AirDog X5 has delivered . I still have the usual hay fever symptoms �V sneezing, runny nose and watery, itching eyes of the summer hay fever season, perhaps not as frequent or pronounced. But I can definitely breathe without feeling like calling an ambulance crew for oxygen.
