Product DescriptionTalk about the Goliath of air purifiers, the A350 has the power to clean air in rooms up to 800 square feet! As the leader of strength, it deserves a more regal place to sit than by a couch or chair so Alen made the A350. . . More >>

I was going to try one of these compact units for one of my smaller offices, to compare to my two large IQAir units that I have in other rooms. However, after reading the reviews here, especially the ones mentioning the poor packaging and refurbished and used units being shipped to customers paying full price, I changed my mind. “Thank you” to all of the reviewers who help us to make well informed choices. Hopefully, the Alen manufacturers will see these reviews and realize that they are losing sales with their lack of attention to detail in serving their customers. By the way, my IQAir units were extremely well packed, like a new piece of high-end stereo equipment with thick styrofoam all around, and double boxed as well.

I am trying to decide between three different air purifiers. One is made in China, one is made in Switzerland, I can’t get a straight answer on where this one is manufactured. Guess which one I’m leaning towards. Can anyone help me out here???. . . .
update. . .
I finally just called a number for Alen (even though it was a business only number) and was told that they are made in China. I have just come up with a new rule of thumb for myself. If it is not easy to find out where a product is made then I am going to assume it was made in China. If they were proud of where it was made, or thought it would be a good selling point – they would advertise proudly where it was made. . . not make consumers run through a maze to find out. It looks like I am going with the IQ. . . unless someone else knows of a good brand made in the U. S.

I would never buy anything on Amazon. com when sold by other suppliers. Beware potential customers because Amazon. com disowns any responsibility after you purchase from these suppliers and you will have to deal with those supplier for refunds or exchanges.
Recently, I bought an air purified on Amazon. com (it was sold by Sylvane). I contacted amazon. com to return the product and the agent directed me to work with sylvane directly. I followed all the procedures that sylvane asked me and returned the item. But even after 30 days, I did not get my refund back. This is extremely bad customer service both from Sylvane and Amazon. com which disowned any responsibility of the product that as far I consider I bought from amazon. com.

I bought my pair of Alen 350 airpurifiers from Air Purifiers of America. The first unit was defective and was very load and screeching. They sent me a replacement and the replacement did the same. The third unit seemed ok. Within a month the other unit did the same thing so I got another replacement. Now it is about 9 months later and what do you know the last one to be replaced is now making a load noise as well.
What do you expect, it was made in China! Although for the price I would expect a much better quality. I would not recommend this unit to anyone.

My first Alen A350 failed within 30 days — apparent blower wheel to blower motor mount failure.
After 1-1/2 weeks of emails, Alen did replace the defective unit.
Within the next 30 days, the replacement Alen A350 failed — definite blower wheel to blower motor mount failure.
I’m currently writing emails again to get a third A350.
It is my opinion that either:
1. ) the Alen A350 has a deficient blower mounting design; or
2. ) the workmanship of this “Made-in-China” air purifier is poor.
