EdenPure Air Purifier Detailed Reviews
Model: EdenPURE Whole House G-7
Rating Score: 65/100 points
Summary
The EdenPURE Whole House G-7 combines Passive UV microorganism control with active negative ionization and ozone oxidation. On the surface the marketing for this purifier makes it
sound like a wonderful purifier. It will do some cleaning, but the technology is a knock-off from Ecoquest purifiers. Some of the copied technologies/materials are inferior and some are a bit
dated. Ecoquest is by far the superior purifier and many "copies" abound. This EdenPure Air Purifier is a so-so example of a copy. The web information rates this purifier as whole
house and up to 3000 sqft; my experience and the inferior technologies used tell me this is grossly exaggerated. The rating shows a very good value, but the overall rating is average.
Basic Specifications:
- Designed for spaces up to 1500 sqft
- Passive and Active purification technology
- Step 1: pre filter for larger particles
- Step 2: UV light with catalytic screen for odor/gas control
- Step 3: ozone plate for odor/gas/VOC/microbial control
- Step 4: negative only ionization for limited particle removal
- Control panel allows technology customization
- Remote control and timer options
- Yearly Operating Costs 74.32
- 1-year limited warranty
Rating Factors:
1) Value: 20/24 points – The MSRP is 372. The estimated square footage cleaned is 1500 sqft. The Value equation is as follows: 100 * (1 – (((372 initial + 74.32/year)/1500 sqft)/7 removal
points)) = 95.7. 95.7 = 20 points – Very Good value.
2) What is Removed: 7/16 points – Removal of Larger Particles >0.3 microns – Fair Removal, 1-point. Removal of Smaller Particles <0.3 microns – Fair Removal, 1-point. Removal of Odors
and Gases – Good Removal, 2-points, Removal of VOCs – Fair Removal, 1-point, Removal of Basic Microorganisms – Good Removal, 2-points, Removal of Advanced Microorganisms – Poor Removal,
0-points.
3) Yearly Operating Costs: 12/15 points – The UV Lamp is a standard size available for less than 19.99/year. Calculating electricity usage: 70 watts/1000 x .0886/kwh x 24 hours/day x 365
days/year = 54.33/year. Total cost 74.32/year. Inexpensive to operate.
4) Quality: 6/12 points – The quality of this unit is average at best. Materials are generic and quality is not the foremost concern. Fit, Finish, and Workmanship – Good Quality, 3-points.
Cleaning Technologies – Fair Quality, 2-points. Support Material – Good Quality, 1-point.
5) Warranty: 2/8 points – This Edenpure has a 1-year warranty. Fair Warranty.
6) Maintenance and Cleaning: 5/6 points – Routine maintenance is limited to replacing the UV lamp every year or as needed. UV lamps will sometimes last longer than recommended, but they do
degrade towards the end of their life span. Easy Maintenance, 3-points. Cleaning the ceramic plates should be done every 30-days per instructions; generally 10 minutes plus dry time. Cleaning
the catalytic screen is as simple as vacuuming or rinsing with water if needed – again every 30 days. There is also a pre filter in the back of the unit that can be vacuumed or rinsed. Average
Cleaning 2-points.
7) Look and Feel: 3/6 points – This purifier is a box in shape. It has a different look with a funky looking front grill and a busy looking control/display panel. Something does not appeal
about the look. Questionable Looks, 1-point. The remote is functional and useful. The buttons are average and the overall feel is average. Weighs 16 lbs and measures 12 3/4 H x 8 7/8 W x 8 3/4
D. Feels Good, 2-points.
8) Years in Business: 5/5 points – Edenpure is a product line of SCI (Suarez Corporation Industries). SCI was formed in 1968. They are located in Canton, Ohio.
9) Noise Level: 3/5 points – The G-7 has 5 fan speeds ranging from very quiet to above average. Average Noise Level.
10) Set-Up: 2/3 points – The manual has a detailed 11-step setup procedure. Not too bad, but will take a little while to work through. Average Set-up.
total = 65/100 points
Conclusion
This is a knock-off of a great product; decent cleaning power.
