seems like a good unit, but filter replacements seem…expensive. like @dahobbs9 was saying, seems like a unique filter size, meaning low demand, low supply, and gouge-y pricing. the vornado qube50 and purify 5 units that were sold here recently seem to use more ubiquitous sized filters. i wish this one were more popular. seems like a better purifier, but if replacements are that expensive…
Auto mode adjusts through 6 speeds based on detected air quality … Uh, I think we need a video showing the Purifier doing this after someone FARTS!! After all, the specs say:
Activated Carbon Filters help trap odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
/showme a Sharper Image PURIFY 9 Air Purifier cycling through 6 modes to clear the air after someone with flatulence stinks up the room causing everyone else to plug their noses.
@mediocrebot
One of the reviews on Amazon stated that it would shift into high gear as her boyfriend farted in his sleep and wake her up with the higher fan speed. Then slow down quietly and he’d fart again.
@courteousblock@MrGoodGuy I had one that would respond to me walking by and kicking up dust or petrified mouse poop and it would go to higher gear for a few minutes. Not as funny as farting,but yeah I guess these things really do work.
Read a few Amazon reviews, these were from years ago. Most were ok with it and said it was quiet but that the replacement filters tripled in price after they bought the unit.
Depends on how many produced along with how many others use the Same filter as to how long replacements are produced.
The generic one I have from Sears is 20+ years old and filters can be found on amazon and other sites for a reasonable price.
Hope this helps someone a lil.
@andymand if Ai images, not to worry, as long as we can pump MegaWatts into the server farms (sorry about your heating bill), there is no limit to Ai images.
I lived in Frosty Vista. There is no need for air cleaners there; unless you live downwind of the Gingerbread factory that is. Micro Ginger is a forever element that invades your liver and kidneys and never, ever, goes away.
@lilmiz83 Usually meh offers one deal, one day only. Lately they’ve relaxed that a bit by leaving deals “live” a bit longer. But this deal has indeed expired. It’s dead, Jim.
Are you perhaps seeing the aspirational delivery date?
Any way, it is still available on sister site morningsave.com
Does the auto mode work for anyone else? Mine never adjusts the speed and the ring stays green no matter what. I shook out a dusty sweater right next to it and it didn’t respond.

@MrGoodGuy I have farted in the same room as my girlfriend’s air purifier and watched the purifier switch itself to work harder

@mediocrebot Thank you, it’s good to learn when the copyright strike (product placement) is null and void.
Nice

@dahobbs9 sadly sometimes the old low-tech stuff is best in the long run.
@dahobbs9 got a link?
@dahobbs9 @pmarin That’s why I have a cadre of slaves to fan me with those big feathers.
How many freaking pallets of Apollo 13 Ai images do you have, Meh?
@andymand if Ai images, not to worry, as long as we can pump MegaWatts into the server farms (sorry about your heating bill), there is no limit to Ai images.
@pmarin Since these server farms are generating pallets of waste heat, maybe we can pipe that to our (cold-climate) homes!
@andymand @pmarin I think there is a serious deficiency in LeeLoo images tho.
/showme LeeLoo
@mediocrebot Damn bot, you may as well made this her booking photo!
reFRESHing!

Has anyone received theirs? Mine has not shipped and I was expecting it this week.
