Product Description
HEPA air purifier for rooms 510 square feet or less in size. 330 CADR rating. Upgraded version of the award winning AP51030R unit. These air cleaners quietly and efficiently clean the air you breathe. The true HEPA filter cleans the air passing through it 4.8 times per hour or more depending on the unit and room size. Anyone who is concerned with their air quality or simply wants to keep a room fresh, will feel comfortable with the performance and technology built into a Whispure air purifier. The filter captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns from air passing through the filter, capturing airborne allergens such as dust, pet dander, smoke, mold spores, pollen, and fabric fibers. Pre-filter helps remove large particles and reduces odor from the air.

 Excellent Product at a ripoff price !! December 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have bought 2x of these products, and they are excellent. I bought the earlier 450 sq ft model about 5 years ago, and it saved us during the San Diego fires. I bought the 510 model for my mom last christmas, and she just loves hers. It's not very loud, and you can shove it up against a wall, in a corner, without harming its function at all, so despite being rather big and boxy, it need not take up much space. I use ours sometimes as a coffee table. My mom shoved hers up against her dresser by the doorway, so it doesn't consume any usable floor space in her apartment. The large intake is on one side, at it shoots the fresh air straight up into the room, so pushing it against a wall doesn't harm its function.
There is no magic to this product. You need a large and powerful fan, and a large surface area, for a HEPA filter to work well. This is one of the largest of the large! The large surface area allows the fan to work at low RPM and makes it quieter. The settings are OFF-Speed1-Speed2-Speed3. The most powerful Speed3 is only moderately loud. We use this filter to clean our whole downstairs, which is about 1000 sq ft. No filter on the market is more muscular than this one.
I would normally rate this (*****) (5 stars), but the street price for this discontinued product was always $230-$300. I cannot understand why this retailer is asking for 5x-6x the normal price. So, based on value for money, I have to rate this product 1 star, at a price of $1295.00. This is a discontinued product, but heck, $1295 is just a ridiculous price and they are sucking the blood from innocent people with allergies. The price stinks, and even this excellent product cannot clean away THAT stench ...
Do your REAL research before buying one. December 1, 2008

I have done extensive research on indoor air purifier and the thing is, you do not want the one that is 1) heavy and ugly 2) Nosy 3) expensive to run it 4) expensive to maintain 5) Does not function as well for the money. I came up with THE BEST air purifier there is on the market AIR SOURCE 3000 by Shaklee. One SMALL unit covers up to 3000 Sq feet, no filter to chance, they look like an art, quite and energy saving, kills bacteria and virus, and DOES the job it is supposed to. I will think twice before you buy one of these ugly heavy bulky expensive appliance.
Quiet, Effective Air Purifier October 18, 2008

I've had the 510 for several years now and am extremely pleased with it. It's relatively quiet (very important bc it's in my bedroom and is on when i'm sleeping). Though it is a bit louder when it's on high - most of the time it's on a lower setting bc that much power isn't always needed unless you're trying to clear the room of smoke or something else.
I like the very simple filter status lights - hold for five seconds to reset - and it tells you when you need to replace the filters. Although filters are expensive, all are purifiers are like that, and if you want it to continue to work effectively, it's just something that you have to invest in.
also, i really like the fact that it sucks in air from the front, and blows out from the top so i can put it up against my wall (i live in a small apartment so that really helps with space). It generally looks nice, keeps the apartment relatively dust-free and provides for nice air circulation in the apartment.
Better than most boyfriends.. September 7, 2008

I bought a Whirlpool Whispure 510 Air Purifier locally since I was in a desperate state due to allergies. The product works quite reliably in combination with prescription drugs (yay Nasacort AQ! better living through chemistery!). No tissue/wastebasket combos next the bed! This is a nice, against the wall type of unit. I also have a much larger Friedrich C-90A Electronic Air Purifier that I use as a side table which snaps erratically and isn't fit for a bedroom.
Some comments:
- This stands about 2' high, 1.5' wide, 10" deep and sucks in air from the front, cleans it, and then jets it up and out to your left as you face the unit, so think about room placement.
- The pre-filter and HEPA filter replacements are expensive, even the third party ones. I've "extended" the life of my pre-filter with outdoor vacuuming of the unit/pre-filter, especially in the initial setup phase. It sucked in so much dust that it was a nasty mess.
- The highest speed is rather noisy but makes a great "white noise" generator if you live near random noises like the entrance to my apartment complex. I slept a lot more solidly by _not_ hitting the "sleep" mode.
- Reliable. 3 years and going. This has lasted longer than most of my boyfriends.. :) :P
 Great air purifier, but shop for a good price August 26, 2008

I have several air purifiers in my home now, and the Whispure 510 is by far the most effective for allergy sufferers. It is also the easiest to maintain and changing filters is both inexpensive and cheap, compared to all the other brands I have, by far. I highly recommend this unit and concur with the other positive reviews, but I have noticed a HUGE range in pricing and I would caution you to shop for a good price. You can easily find one for less than $500, and that is the most you should have to pay for a brand new unit. I have seen the exact same unit priced well over $1000 (like right here) and that is total rip-off pricing. Shop for your best price on this unit, but then go ahead and purchase it and you won't be disappointed, at least if you are an allergy sufferer.
