Attractive unit...easy to set up and use. Like the fact that it is quiet, however, I found that the unit emitted a terrible plastic odor which remained for approximately 2 weeks. Needed to run it constantly on high to attempt to reduce odor. It seems to clean the air but I have not had to vac the permanent filter yet, so I am unsure of just how well it can be cleaned. The big downfall is that you have to choose which filter to use. A hepa filter is included as well as a odor reduction filter. Would be nice to clear the air of odors while cleaning! Overall, I believe that this unit is comparible to other lesser priced units. The price point on this model can not really be justified as it does nothing different than lesser priced units. Very expensive for something that does nothing special but look nice.

What's great about it: easy to use, choice of cleaning speeds, attractive appearance.
What's not so great: price, can not use odor reduction filter with the hepa filter. Terrible plastic odor which lasted about 2 weeks.

Ink is somewhat pricey...a single tricolor cartridge. Have not used much as of yet so I cannot testify to efficient usage. Have owned multiple HP printers in the past and have always used HP ink. Does give excellent color output with little problem.
