Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic F-P20HU1 Air Purifier
Customer Review: Efficient, quiet, quality, some cost to maintain
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this unit for more than 3 1/2 years.
It does a good job removing dust, pollen, and smells. It is very quiet and can be set to work automatically, based on a sensitive sensor which ramps up speed as needed.
This is a quality built device that fits nicely in any room. The P20 is built for a larger room (up to 300 square feet)and works well if you want some "overcapacity" to clean air in a smaller room.
There is some confusion about filter replacement. The HEPA filter can be vacuumed out (I do so once a quarter) and it will last about 3 years. The charcoal filter only maintains effectiveness, it seems, for about 1 year. It does work that first year, but if you try to stretch efficiency to change both filters every 3 years, the charcoal filter loses its punch over 1 to 1 1/2 years. Up until that time, it will even help control an occasional kitchen odor (though the directions say not to use it this way).
If you need to clean a room quickly there is even a "super high" setting that can be set manually.
Filters are expensive and somewhat hard to get (about $90-$100 total for both HEPA and charcoal combined currently) and you do need to take time to clean the filters to keep them effective, probably the more the better.
Description of Panasonic F-P20HU1 Air Purifier
HEPA and Charcoal Filtration / For up to 16x20 foot rooms / InfraRed MicroDust Sensor Filter Check function advises when it's time to replace filters for maximum efficacy Slim 6 5/8 deep - fits almost anywhere! Quiet OperationSized for rooms up to 16 by 20 feet, this air purifier from Panasonic tackles unclean atmospheres with a multi-part system of filters and sensors. It is quiet in action, slim in design, and easily detects odors, pollutants, and particles in the air. The purifier's main filter is a true HEPA filter, which removes 99.97 percent of airborne particles, down to 0.3 microns in size. A deodorizing filter with activated charcoal tackles unpleasant odors, and the Infrared Micro Dust Sensor is triggered by smoke, dust, and pollen, reflecting its readings in the air quality monitor. Designed for ongoing or intermittent use, the unit has an AHAM CADR rating of 215 for dust, 215 for smoke, and 200 for pollen.
Panasonic's design is clear and straightforward here with a 24-hour air quality LED display and illuminated lights that show when the filter needs changing. Three standard speeds plus a super setting give you the ability to tailor operation according to varying needs, and a simple panel indicates which filters are in use. Created for versatile placement, the unit measures a tidy 6-5/8 by 22 by 18-3/4 inches. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
