*Please do not order this product and then leave a bad review because it did not fit the wrong size filter. It only fits 2x20x20 HVAC, not 1x20x20 or any other size. These are nominal-sizes and do not reflect the actual filter dimensions.

Great value!

Purchased mine about a month ago and I love it. Feels really solid, not afraid my children might break it, which would be a concern with CR box models sold by other companies. Mine came with a speed controller and remote, which was a surprise to me as the website didn't mention them. Maybe I got them by mistake? Overall great product. Came very well packaged with lots of foam cut outs to protect the parts. Really nothing negative to say about it, Nukit did a really great job on this.

Amazing units, great support!

I have 3 of these in my 3 story home. One for each floor to compliment my Merv-16+UV HVAC system. They work wonderfully well! The AQI in my area outside is usually quite good, but due to Canadian Wildfires, it is the 4th worst AQI in the world right now. But not inside the house! The PM 2.5 concentration in the house is nominal-0, perfect. It jumps a bit somethings because no house is perfectly sealed, but the Tempest brings it back down fairly rapidly.

I'd like a 4th one of these to be honest. When they come back in stock I will probably grab another one. Sleep, work, relaxation in the house have all improved with this. Even compared to the Winix units we used to have where these are now!

Great project but pricey

Yeah, I really enjoy it. It’s just a bit expensive once you have all the pieces and I wish the Air filter size was more front and center on the advertisement may be in the screenshots. Do you have to use a 2 inch thick one and I missed that detail. And you can’t buy 2 inch thick air filters, local at the store at target and Home Depot Boston area.

Otherwise great product really enjoying it. I would like some kind of adapter so I could put a piece of wood on top of it so I could turn it into a nightstand. Without blocking the airflow

For what it is the price is high, but it does the job and works.

Prefer this to HEPA filters available at local stores, etc.

Thoughtful, through packing. It's going to arrive safe. Easy to build, just purchased the recommended parts mentioned in the documentation. Looks nice and unobtrusive. You won't know it is there because it is so quiet. It's great to have the ability to easily swap out parts if they break, without having to replace the whole unit. I doubt that is going to happen anytime soon however since the recommended parts are of high quality. Thanks so much for making this kit available!
