Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the A600 in lieu of the more expensive models (A700 and A710) because they are functionally identical, they just ship with different filter packages.
The A600 is capable of using the higher rated filter(s) from the 700 and 710 (both the Carbon Pre-Filter AirTamer High Efficiency Germ-Odor-Virus Protection Air Filter - 2 Pack and "Ultra Efficient" AirTamer Ultra High Performance Pleated Filter, 1 Pack so don't feel bad about getting the lower rating initially.
The packaging is simple and effective, and the instruction manual is clear and well printed, though definitely not needed -- there's two sets of buttons on the top, one row for power & speed and one for time delay.
At the low speeds 1-3, it's very quiet. Speed 1 is indiscernible from ambient noise. Speeds 4 and 5 are relatively loud. However at 4 the sound fades into the background after a while, while 5 is pretty much the "I'm not here, clean the air buddy" speed -- it's very loud.
Now the real important thing is: how well does it work? My initial impression is *very good* I recently adopted a feral cat, and I'm quite allergic to him (seriously, what we're we thinking adopting a cat?). So far I'm breathing easier, much easier.
I'll try to update this review in a month's time to give a long term assessment.

AirTamer A600 High Efficiency Room Air PurifierThe AirTamer A700 Ultra High Efficiency Room Air Purifier from FilterStream delivers record-breaking air-cleaning performance. This air purifier cleans air quickly and efficiently with remarkably low energy consumption. The AirTamer A700 will save you time and money, and it is a good choice for the environment.
Cleaner Air for a Healthier Home Indoor air quality is an increasing health concern. Pollen, dust, and other airborne particles can have a negative effect on health, well-being, and general productivity. Thankfully, the A700 has been designed to effectively clean and purify the air we breathe. It reduces odors and airborne pollutants that contribute to poor air quality, and it filters common allergens, such as pollen, mold, and dust.
Due to limited airflow, the pollutant levels inside a home can actually be higher than in outside air. However, with the AirTamer A700, you can manage your indoor pollutant level and live a cleaner, healthier life. The cleaner air provided by the A700 is especially beneficial to individuals who suffer from allergies or asthma.
Breakthrough Cleaning and Efficient Performance The AirTamer A700 Ultra High Efficiency Room Air Purifier features six aerodynamically engineered fans that are designed to efficiently move extra-large volumes of air in a short period of time. This means you'll remove more air pollutants faster, but with less energy consumption.
The A700 consumes a tiny five watts of power on low speed, yet it boasts a 275 (pollen), 285 (dust), and 260 (smoke) Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) on high speed. With that kind of power, the A700 effectively cleans a 20- x 20-foot room (400 square feet) in 12 minutes. And when compared to comparable HEPA air purifiers, the A700 delivers a 12% higher pollen capture rate, 10% higher dust capture rate, and 6% more air circulation.
Ultra-High Performance Pleated Filter and Flexible Filter System AirTamer A700 includes an ultra-fine pleated disposable filter that cleans air for up to 12 months. The filter captures more particles than its non-pleated counterparts, and it is 99.9% effective at capturing pollen, mold spores, and dust-mite debris. It also captures dust, pet dander, bacteria, smoke, and smog, as well as odor- and virus-carrying particles. For extra protection against the H1N1/Swine Flu virus, order the optional Germ-Odor-Virus Protection filter which eliminates 75.4% of viruses in just 2 hours.
Although AirTamer filters are the most effective choice for cleaning your indoor air, the A700 is designed to work with any 16- x 20-inch filter--even furnace filters. This revolutionary flexible filter system makes the A700 one of the most versatile air purifiers available.
Whisper-Quiet Performance and Relaxing Aroma Option Clean air should not come at the expense of peace and quiet. The A700 utilizes commercial-quality fans to deliver operation that is so whisper-quiet, you can even use the filter in your bedroom.
An added bonus, you can use the quiet AirTamer to condition your air with pleasant aromas. The A700 comes with three aroma cartridges developed by Dr. Rachel Herz:
The A700's also features an automatic on/off timer that will power down your air purifier after two, four, six, eight, or 12 hours, or automatically power it on in two, four, six, eight or 12 hours. Additionally, it has an easy-to-use, five-speed push-button control, a filter change indicator, and an LED control for light-sensitive users.
What's in the Box AirTamer A700 Ultra High Efficiency Room Air Purifier, ultra-high performance pleated filter, and three aroma cartridges (orange, grapefruit, lavender).
