Product Description
Our designers crammed a HEPA filter, ultraviolet lights (to kill persons nasty airborne bacteria), and an activated carbon filter into the picture perfect tower of power! The HEPA filter weeds out persons pesky allergens like pollen and dander while the UV rays kill off any rogue bacteria and viruses that managed to sneak inside your home. Combine these two powerful purifiers with an odor-killing activated carbon filter and you’ve got the T300!
You may have seen advertisements for tower air cleaners that use ionizers to charge particles and collect them on metal plates. The T300 takes that same sleek design but, instead of using powerful ionizers that could potentially expose you and your family to detrimental ozone, Alen uses EPA recommended filters and purifiers. That’s aptly! You get the style with even BETTER gathering! Not to mention HEPA filters are far safer to replace and clean than your usual metal plates.

I originally bought Alen T300 for my living room. It has sleek design made from high quality dark grey fake with dark silver insert. It looks cool in living room side by side with black frame LCD HDTV and matching TV stand and electronics. At buck speed it is whisper silent. In living room you can only just hear it in succession. It cleans living room okay but as I exposed it is perfect for room size about 200 sf or less. Eventually I went it to bedroom because it matches my 168 sf bedroom perfectly and it is very silent at night. All noise (36 db at low speed) it generates is a slight hiss which rather helps to sleep than get distracted. It cleans air so well that in the morning the air in bedroom feels fresher than air outside, so I hesitate to open window in the morning to let in contaminated air from street.
It is reasonably priced high quality product and I vastly recommend it for use in bedroom. In living room which is connected to kitchen T300 may struggle to keep 400 sf space clean. Of course you can buy two of them and place in living room and kitchen respectively. Other option is to buy Alen A350 which is excellent for 400 sf or less. I may try this path also but I did not chose yet.

I bought 2 T300 units. About 6 months after I bought the units the UV lamps went out. Their consumer service was horrible when I was trying to get the UV lamps replaced under warrenty. The units are ok. I couldn’t tell a real difference in the air quality. I don’t know if they are really worth the price considering the horrible consumer service experience.

I bought two T300 purifiers about three years ago based on extensive research and user reviews. One was for use downstairs in the family room and one upstairs in my bedroom. The hepa filters were replaced as recommended by Alen.
I plugged in the bedroom unit and heard a rattling noise on the two highest speeds. Alen consumer service advised that this was common in some T300 models but would not effect the surgical procedure of the unit. I plotting, well okay and continued to use it. About 18 months later the rattling became more and more noticeable. It finally got to the point where it sounded like the machine was coming apart. I told Alen and they replaced the purifier. I twisted on the replacment and the rattling noise was worse than the one I had sent back. I told Alen and they apologized for sending a defective unit that another consumer had returned. They sent another replacement and thankfully, the only sound detectable was the air going through the fan. Okay, this is fantastic. Two weeks ago the machine started “whistling”. The noise is more intense as the fan speed is increased. It got to the point where I couldn’t use the machine even at the buck setting during the night.
The downstairs T300 developed a burning smell after about two weeks. I emailed Alen consumer service and they said to return it immediately. They replaced the unit surrounded by a few days. So far, so excellent. Just recently this purifier also developed a whistling noise at every fan speed. The higher the speed the louder the whistle. I tried removing the filters to see if the noise was generated there. The whistling noise was even louder. Again, I can’t use the machine because of the loud noise. What’s the point?
This morning I’m donating both units to the Salvation Army. I’m VERY disappointed in the product. I will say that Alen consumer service responded quickly to all of my inquiries but what excellent does that do if I keep getting defective units as replacements? I surely wouldn’t recommend the T300. I’m shopping around for a different product made by a different manufacturer.

I bought this item to replace an Ionic Breeze. This Alen air cleaner worked for one week, then really stopped. I called Alen consumer service and after a wait on hold I was connected to someone who took all my information and promised someone would call back. Several hours later I called again and got someone else who took all my information and questioned me to try a few things – which did not work. Guy #2 promised to send an confirming email surrounded by 1/2 hour with further instructions. Still no return calls from Alen. Guy #2 said that it will take 2 weeks ~~ or so ~~ to process return. Fantastic Company ! For the week that the unit worked it was rather noisy on all but low speeds and the rear filter cover is hard to get off and then to get back on. The small switch at the bottom “has caused some tribulations” but, my unit is is DOA — even with the switch depressed. With air cleaner companies like Alen – there may be a lot more DOAs in hospitals during allergy seasons.

I bought the Alen T300 about eight months ago and was bowled over when the UV bulb burned out so quickly. I was even more bowled over to find a replacement cost $59, but I ordered one because part of the reason I bought the unit was the UV mold and bacteria killing feature.
When I got the bulb, I tried to replace it. I got the back off with no vex, but then found I had to remove a screw in the wiring harness and pull the harness out to get to the bulb. One twist and the screw head was stripped out. There is no way to get it out without breaking the wiring harness. The screw is tiny and there is very small room to use any tools.
I emailed Alen consumer service aptly away for help. Tay Sarian answered my email by saying, yes, we all run into screws that strip out. He referred me to handyman articles on how to drill out screws and suggested I pull the screw out with a pair of pliers. Obviously, he has never even looked at the unit I am talking about.
Even if I sent the unit back to Alen or had it repaired at my own expense, this will just keep happening. I don’t plot on shipping my unit back to Alen every six months when the bulb burns out!
This is a design flaw in an otherwise nice unit. The consumer should not have to remove a warning harness to replace the UV bulb or go through what I did. The fact that you can buy a similar replacement bulb at a hardware store for less than $15 makes me leary of Alen’s excellent intentions towards its customers.
I do not recommend buying this unit because it is very expensive and the consumer service is non-existent.
