Nearly silent, looks like a gaming PC, very sturdy!

We needed a nearly-silent purifier for my husband's classroom. He's a computer science teacher and at a quick glance, this looks like a large gaming PC. It took less than an hour to build and looks very sleek—and, most importantly, is very very quiet. He's thrilled with the volume and the complete unobtrusiveness of the unit.

Easy and impressive

As someone who is not great and building things, this was fairly easy and straightforward to assemble after getting it in the mail and following the online instructions.
The design is very clever - filters fit nicely and the box has ample room and form for great customization, so I was able to swap in some nice computer fans that I liked.
It's not too loud and is very sturdy. The amazon links to recommended products was also very helpful for someone as not-knowledgeable as myself. Extra nice that extra screws etc. were included because I definitely lost some in the building process (I put one down somewhere and forever forgot where).

Satisfied with the kit.

I did not have any significant issues putting this thing together. It was pretty straightforward. It's pretty quiet and I have no problems running this thing 24-7 vs the cube I made a while back with a box fan that was pretty loud. I will say that the recommended fans were kind of backordered on Amazon and it took like three weeks to get them, so you may want to give some alternate options there. I believe something else was also not available anymore and I had to find a equivalent, so check those links.

The other thing I'll mention is I was having some trouble inserting the filter covers without them bunching up, but just taking a couple small strips of masking tape and taping them to the filters made it much easier to get them in there.

Best filter yet

Got this as an upgrade from a diy CR box. Works great with nordic pure filters with the activated carbon layer built in. Took maybe an hour to assemble. Getting wires out of the way of fan blades was the hardest part.

Easy to build

Everything fits nicely. It's light weight, very quiet and easy to move around. I love not having to pay huge sums for proprietary filters anymore.
