Reviews on this are terrible at the 'zon, stating that it isn't anywhere near powerful enough to filter air. Dust collects right next to it. You can't filter air from USB power.
I wonder if the negative reviews on amazon realized how small a 48 sq ft space is... It's like, a bathroom. Six foot by eight foot. I'm 6'1"... So that's one of me laying sideways by one of me laying sideways with my arm up. Pretty small space. If you buy one of these expecting it to have some sort of effect on your living room or bedroom, you're in for a world of suck.
I mean, maybe it would help filter the area right by your desk, where it would have to be since it's USB powered.
But since my wife just made me get rid of my room-sized air filter since we finally, FINALLY after 3 years scrubbed out all the animal dander that came with the house, I'm gonna have to say 'Meh'.
Will it get rid of the cattle feedlot smell that moved in this morning? Oh, wait, we're moving far far away from Amarillo, so I guess that won't matter!
I predict many fuku-meh-hubu's...errr..fuku-woo-hoo's...err..fuku-muky-yucky's....oh whatever the heck the fuku things are called, will contain these. They can then be regifted to prisoners for their cells, about the only things small enough to be effective in, as I only put CLEAN clothes in my closet, so it doesn't need air cleaning...;)
In fairness to the cheapness, you can buy two of these for less than what 'zon sells and cover 96 sq ft. That's about a 10x10 ft room - or a walk in closet.

Yaaay, more items that really suck!
Suck like an Asthmatic Tron Robot without wheels..... I do love the glow. Could be a soothing nightlight....Ahhhh
Got it. Bought it. Now kill my allergies please. PLEASE.
I'd cancel that order. Reviews on Amazon are awful.
I live in a TINY tiny apartment so I'm going to see how it works for me. I use a USB-powered oil warmer in my bathroom and it works great!
Since when do people have passersby in their homes?
Looks awfully meh. No thanks.
Needs three finger holes to double as a bowling ball. Now that would be cooool.

Hahaha
Damn you and your edit. I liked it better the other way.
Now I wanna see the original.
it isn't anywhere bear powerful enough to filter air.
I can see a big powerful bear trying to filter air.
It would almost be worth it to take this somewhere public and set it up, while giving everyone around you dirty looks.
One of us needs to take the one that's in the office to Addison Circle or something and do this
Then light a cigar.
이것도 사볼까...?
Does this have something to do with a dog?
Damn reviews. Thought I finally found something to buy.
hahahaha same here!
Ditto!
Hey, not all the 'zon reviews are bad. I gambled $18. I'm not proud.

I vote we change the specs to say 1 Akom x 1.3 Akom filtering capacity.
Lot of these going to Springfield, IL.
Conclusion: Springfield is gross
Weird. That's where I'm from.
I did not notice until you pointed this out that I can see how many are selling in my county. Go gross Lake County!
I'd rather breathe in black mold than get this. Besides, dust and particles put hair on your chest.
1 million comedians out of work and you're trying to be funny.
Actually, I'm not trying to be 100% funny. I'm not a believer that breathing 100% clean air is actually good for you.
@airbrat Plus, I don't get paid for my comments, so how does your slam even make sense? AND TWO PEOPLE LIKED IT?!
Someone stewed for 4 hours over what someone else said about their post on meh. Meh.
Everyone stop trying to be funny! There are starving comedians out there and a limited supply of jokes and laughs!!
@lowerone Stewed? More like went to bed and answered when I woke up. And now 4 people liked it? sigh
Huh. You should point out these 4 likes, because I don't see them. Ok, let me rephrase that. I don't see them under your posts. Meh.
@lowerone - It's 5 likes. Thankyouverymuch.
@airbrat - I laughed so hard, my dog looked at me funny. Thanks for that.
Oy vey...

It has both USB and AC power, not that it will change your mind.
It was an object of wonder on my desk to my coworkers for a while but I mostly enjoyed the air flow it puts out.
still not convinced it's not @denboy's prototype mind control device
What you calling a prototype?
After I saw it on @ScottSprick's desk I was convinced it was going to give him mutant powers. None have manifested…yet.
18$ mood light with simulated air movement? One big meh... I do have to say I am quite pleased with the quality of my Apache Helicopter though!
They only thing I've wanted to buy so far and it sold out. Could you do a fly by on the tower for me?
Does it at least make a good white-noise generator?
I want to know this too. If so it's a bargain.
Beyond the valley of the ultra-meh.
Somebody is selling a Used-Like New one on Amazon for $1,000. Hahahaha.
Hey might as well try to make something from those open samples.
Will it get rid of the cattle feedlot smell that moved in this morning? Oh, wait, we're moving far far away from Amarillo, so I guess that won't matter!

Mehguyver, I know you just hung up your magnetic screwdriver but if there was ever a product that needed mehstruction... @Harrison
Completely agree with this, but worried it will give him more parts for his mecha-Roomba death machine that I know he's secretly building.
If someone drives to the office, grabs one, and brings it to my house today, I'll gladly do it.
Is there a key under a mat to get in?
This one is actually pretty simple. It easily opens in half.
How tall is your office building? I feel like this should be dropped off the roof.
We haven't been allowed on the roof since the tablet incident.
I'm actually in the market for a new air filter, but after reading the reviews, this one seems very meh.
In fairness to the cheapness, you can buy two of these for less than what 'zon sells and cover 96 sq ft. That's about a 10x10 ft room - or a walk in closet.
I prefer real shrooms
