For those looking for low EMFs, this is a good option!
I had a Pure Zone air purifier in the kitchen for years and just ran out of filters for it. Before re-ordering more filters, I thought I would double check the EMF output to see if I perhaps needed to buy a different one that didn’t emit so many EMFs as my bedroom InvisiClean Sensa (which for whatever reason they don’t sell anymore) has a DC motor and emits very low levels of EMFs. I found this Cuisinart air purifier with a DC motor and thought I’d give it a shot. I’m pleased to say, this is a huge improvement over the Pure Zone. EMFs for the Pure Zone are very high, even on level one. EMFs for the Cuisinart fall into the normal to medium range - with medium EMFs recorded only at level 3 (the highest fan speed). Noise level is acceptable. Also, the Cuisinart did a good job of removing the popcorn smell out of the kitchen after I popped some popcorn last night. Overall, it seems like a quality air purifier for smells and dust/pollen/dander and also emits low EMFs. They should really advertise the DC motor in the first description and outline the low EMFs as there are people searching for exactly that in a sea of AC run, high EMF air purifiers. Stay away from anything that emits ozone also. This is why I like my Sensa and now this Cuisinart as well. No ozone.

I just received it. I set it up easily and it seems like it's working fine. The fan has 3 levels. The fan is not really loud, but you can hear it on the highest setting. It has a sleep setting which is a low fan and a night light. I tested it, but have not used it through the night. I purchased this because of the horrible air quality over the summer during the Canadian wildfires. I'm sure we will be having more of those events, unfortunately, so I finally bought a purifier. I may buy a second one if it helps.

It's fairly quiet, especially on low. Run on high for 15 or 20 minutes to get a good portion of the air exchanged (filtered) then turn to low to maintain. Not for a large house or apartment, but great for a smaller bedroom.

I have bought 3 of these off Amazon. Some have been gifts; and I am likely to buy at least one more.
I am currently using 2 small ones on each side of the bed. They work very well together on low speed without having just 1 of them and running it on higher speed which causes more noise. I am glad that generic filters are now being offered at a lower price. The cap-1000 offers UV light protection to kill viruses and the smaller unit does not. .. It is still a great Air Purifier. Even if the UV light in the Cap-1000 stops working air filtering will still take place bc of circulation of the air through the filters in the Cap 1000 - only UV virus protection is affected. I guess that would be a customer service issue. I guess a person could look into buying a UV light for different rooms. Both of these Cuisinart air purifiers are of very good quality. I am sleeping better at night and my sinus issues from allergies are much better. The Cuisinart air purifiers also filter out odors. They have timers that can be set by touching the clock symbol by tapping it for each hour you want it run before shutoff. They are also easy on the electric bill... 5 Stars.

We like that it fits on a countertop. Looks pretty good, too. Not industrial at all.
We use it to get rid of cooking odors (especially onions and garlic) - that is the charcoal filter part.
And we use it to purify air - we live near a national forest and they are always burning something.
It will probably reduce the pollen when that season comes.
We run it on the lowest of its three settings at night and either of the higher settings during the day. The highest setting is louder than expected, but that does allow it to clean more air.

I bought 2 of these, which I prefer to have same model so I don't have to keep up with so many filters. One of them has a rattling sound and I would have loved a replacement, but unfortunately Amazon could only offer refund. I contacted Cuisinart to see if they would replace under warranty, but they said send back to Amazon.
