3M Filtrete Ultra Clean Reviews

Great Machine Reviewed by: An Office in the Allergy Capitol from Stillwater, OK Within a day of first using this machine, I noticed a difference in the air quality of our office. We researched the different types of purifiers, and once deciding upon a price point, chose this machine primarily for the low maintenance cost $20 for a replacement filter. It is quiet but not silent. It sounds like a fan is running in another room but it is just three feet away from me--not a distracting amount of noise by any means. After one week of use, we examined the filter and saw that it is, in fact, cleaning the air as we could see particles trapped in the filter. We recommend this machine highly. It has met our needs entirely.

Excellent air purifier! Reviewed by: amy from Eugene, OR I love this air purifier! It is a little bigger than it looks in the picture, but it is super quiet! We run it constantly in my infant son's bedroom and I can't even hear it. It's easy to operate and it's design is slim and stylish. The filters are are not permanent like the Honeywells, but they are cheaper, like $20 for a replacement. Overall, this is a great air purifier.

The Right Price For Me Reviewed by: Jeanie from Weirton Though I wasn't looking spend a lot, and none of us really have bad allergies, I did want to get something for the boys' room downstairs. They spend a lot of time down there, and it tends to get dusty. This ultra clean fit the bill. It didn't cost a lot, and since I bought it I've had to change the filters once. I can tell it's working by how much dust, dirt and junk had collected in the filter. So, as long as I can keep my boys from knocking it over, I think it was a pretty good buy.

3M Ultra Clean Air Purifier:
The 3M Ultra Clean air purifier combines a bold design with top of the line performance. This unit is better than HEPA at capturing airborne particles. The statically charged filters capture 99.9% of all microscopic allergens like smoke, smog, pet dander, dust, and bacteria.

What I like:
The best thing about the Ultra Clean air purifier is the unit’s ability to keep dust down in an enclosed space. For review purposes, I took our model home with me and used it in my home office. There is a perceptible difference in dust levels. I also have noticed it keeps the air smelling fresher. The bells and whistles are modern and easy to use. The 3 speed fan and the filter change indicator are convenient. Also, changing the filter is very easy.

What I do not like:
The Ultra Clean is available at a great price, but the replacement filters are a little expensive. One drawback is that the filters need to be changed more often than traditional HEPA filters. Electrostatic filters tend to clog more rapidly than HEPA filters. 3M recommends changing the filter every 90 days.

In summary, the unit is great for a small space like a home office or conference room. The 3M Ultra Clean is reasonably quiet, priced well, and is easy to operate and maintain. It even tells you when to replace the filter!
