Alen Paralda Review

There are a couple of criticisms I have about the Alen Paralda. First and foremost, it lacks a prefilter. In my opinion, this is a huge technical no no for air purifiers. You see, prefilters are created to catch big particles. That means the main filter would have to do that additional task, which will shorten its life. According to Alen, the Paralda's HEPA filter life can last for about 6 to 9 months even when used day in and day out.

Another quibble I have is that, accoding to Alen's advertisements, the HEPA is 99.97% effective. While Alen has proven its reputation of pumping out high quality air purifiers in the past, there is very little information they have provided concerning the HEPA filter of Alen Paralda. One more thing - the convenient slide-in filter tray along with the easy access door of the Paralda's top will lead you to think that air leakage may be looming!

Last but not the least, the standard Alen Paralda was built without a carbon filter. True, these carbon filters restrict air flow and can be very costly. However, they're very needed when it comes to collecting odors as well as chemicals...especially those that are classified as household air pollutants. Looking at the Alen Paralda, you may be tempted to think that it's nothing more than a particle catcher.

The latter was corrected, however, Alen Corporation by adding an HEPA/odor filter combination that uses a technology named "Molecule Conversion Process" (which is known as MCP for short). While Alen is saying that this is a breakthrough in air purifiers, it's really nothing more than a thin layer of finely granulated carbon.

One thing that I love about the Alen Paralda is the fact that it comes with the company's unparalleled lifetime warranty. Yes, that means Alen will accept and refit any Paraldas that may comes with defect. Since their aim is to create a reputation for creating eco friendly, durable air purifiers, coupled with outstanding customer service, I think this is a great step into that direction!

If you're looking for an ordinary particle catcher that's stylish enough to be in your room, the Alen Paralda may just be the air purifier for you.
