 Alen Paralda Air Purifier
With the Paralda, Alen has taken the green trend to the next level. Like others it consumes very little electricity,
but what sets it apart is that none of the harmful substances found in many modern electronics are used in the Paralda.
Visually appealing and lightweight, the Paralda offers excellent filtration and an industry best, lifetime warranty.
What I like about the Alen Paralda
The Paralda could very well be the most eco friendly air purifier on the market. It is EnergyStar
rated and uses less electricity than most of the light bulbs in your home. You can literally operate this unit for pennies a day.
The control panel offers the same great features found in many of the Alen products. In addition to having a timer, filter
change indicator, and speed setting indicator, the Paralda is programmable, much like a digital thermostat.
The Alen Paralda is aesthetically pleasing and will fit almost anywhere in your home. The translucent and bamboo colored housing
gives the it an unobtrusive yet sleek appearance, and a narrow footprint means it can fit nearly anywhere. Lightweight and compact, the Alen Paralda weighs only 15 lbs. Moving it from room to room is a breeze, and it is small enough to
fit nearly anywhere in your home.
Like all Alen air purifiers, the Paralda comes with a
limited lifetime warranty. With proper filter replacement every six months, Alen ensures that should their product
malfunction or ever fail due to workmanship or materials, you will be covered. This kind of peace of mind is
unmatched in the industry.
What I do not like about the Alen Paralda
Though Alen claims the unit is rated for a room up to 400 sq. ft. you are likely best off using it in a medium to smaller room.
Based on the CFM, the Alen Paralda will give you the recommended 5-6 air exchanges per hour in 12 x 12 rooms with a standard 8' ceiling.
The Alen Paralda air purifier is not the best unit for odor removal. The thin layer of activated carbon built into the standard HEPA
style filter is a start but can handle only light levels of odor pollutants. Alen offers another filter to address this problem and can be
purchased separately.
The Alen Paralda is an excellent unit, and for those most concerned about their impact on the environment, this unit is an
excellent choice. For medium to small rooms the Paralda is a great fit. Eco conscious allergy and asthma sufferers who need excellent allergen
filtration but do not have heavy smoke or odor control issues should consider the Paralda.
