Kyvol - 215 Sq. Ft P5 HEPA Air Purifier - Gray

I followed the user manual setup instructions, removing the plastic and plugging in the device. Then I hit the power button and discovered I spent $100 on a small trash can posing as a night light. No fan sound at any of the settings. No sound of anything moving inside. Complete waste of money, and now waste of time and effort sending it back.

This Kyvol HEPA air purifier, as mentioned in the title, is handsome. Certain to complement most interiors, mine's a dark grey. The perforated cylinder is just under 17 inches high and nearly 10 inches in diameter. All the controls are on the top of the machine - blue lit icons represent different features and modes. There are four fan speed settings - important for both speed/volume filtering as well as the white noise generated. I usually leave mine on the 2 setting at night and low whir of the motor helps me fall asleep. Other controls include a night light setting, providing a nice cool glow from the middle portion of the device. The control lighting can be turned off so as not to light up your room at night. You can "lock" it so children and pets do not accidentally change settings. Finally, there's a timer and a warning light when it's time to clean the washable preliminary filter. Having used it for approximately two weeks, I've noticed my sleep has improved and a significant reduction in allergy symptoms. I probably should get one for my living room too.

I love this thing. It does what it’s supposed to and it’s very modern. It’s big and beautiful.

The Kyvol True Hepa Air Purifier is the perfect air purifier for any room in your house or office. It is a fantastic three-stage filtration air purifier that removes both large and small particles. Say goodbye to dust, hair, and other pet and human odors in your breathing spaces; as well as other smelly orders like smoke. It has far exceeded my expectations in terms of connivence, performance and overall design. Simply looking at photos of this purifier does not do it justice. The night light is a really nice touch as adds a nice LED lighting ambience to the room as it compliments my existing lighting. I have been using this air purifier for the past three days and each time I look at it, I am amazed at how well it looks in my living room. It is my hope that I get a lot of good use out of it for many years to come. I ordered the Kybol purifier and it arrived a few days ago. The box was slightly larger than I assumed it would be, but it was well packaged and sustained no damage during shipping and handling. The purifier was perfectly arranged its shipping box so that everything was easy to find. I truly appreciate when packaging is well thought out to ensure the user has a good experience at the onset with their product. It was pleasing to open the box and see a quick-start guide right on top. The quick guide was easy to read and to follow along with the step by step instructions from the very beginning of opening the box. It made the process of getting your unit ready to use simple. You simply needed to remove some protective shipping plastic, take the power adapter out of the bottom of your unit, and it’s ready for use. The manufacture also placed the user manual near the top and it too was easy to read. I found that each step within the instructions were concise and clear; as a result, you’re able to set your purifier up with ease and after one complete reading of the manual, you’ll feel confident that you know how to operate it effectively. The manual’s written instructions are easy to understand and read and the pictorial illustrations help confirm you are following the correct steps. Once I removed the air purifier from the box, I quickly discovered and admired how very nice looking it is. It is a beautiful cylinder style unit in a dark gray color with black accents. This air purifier should fit nicely with your furniture and will look great in any room. It looks so great that I used it to replace another air purifier I was currently using in my living room. The Kyvol Air Purifier will catch the eyes of your guests, as soon as they enter the room, immediately. It sometimes looks like a nice piece of art. It is light weight and easy to carry as the design has an area for lifting and carrying it whenever needed. It’s a well thought-out design for appearance, usage and convenience. In the same sprit of its’ modern design, it is powered by an included DC 12v, type-c power adaptor (all in one card and adapter). Everything that you need for usage is included in the box with the air purifier. As an added bonus, the unit includes removable and washable pre-filters; in addition to true HEPA filters. The Kyvol Air Purifier is loaded with convenient, easy to understand and utilize touch-button controls that light up when you need them and can be left on or off, depending on your preference. It has four fan speeds and four timer options. However, I wish the timer options included an option for the purifier to run for just an hour, for times when you just want to quickly clean the air, instead of lowest setting being 2 hours, but all the other options, including one that runs continuously are perfect for my needs. There is a sleep mode and a night light. The aforementioned night light is really nice and I find myself looking over at it when it’s dark and or when I’m watching TV or movies. There is also a child safety lock to prevent settings from being changed from your prefernces as well as an alert to notify you when it’s time to replace the filter. All of the buttons on the control panel are conveniently located on the top of the unit. The ability to remove and wash the pre-filters are an excellent added bonus. Coupled with the ability to simply vacuum the inside of the air purifier and the pre-filters extends the life of this air purifier. The Night light illuminates the room as it looks really nice at night. I only wish I could have the night light on without having to run the purifier. However, I believe if you have the light on while you’re running the purifier, once your selected time has expired, the light will remain on as long as the power is still on. There are only a few minor cons, that did not change my mind on purchasing this unit. For example, I didn’t see anything about a warranty or the ability to register the product, which raises a few red flags. That’s important to me and I believe that any well-made product should be strongly backed by the manufacturer. It is a little louder when the fan is on running, and gets louder as you increase the fan’s speed, but that’s to be expected. Although you won’t notice the noise as much with a TV or music playing. Additionally, the sound isn’t too loud or too annoying that it would interfere with watching TV or sleeping, and it is no louder than my central forced heating. In closing, I highly recommend purchasing The Kyvol True HEPA Air Purifier- you will not be disappointed. Your only regret my be that you didn’t purchase more than one.

First impression: The Kyvol Vigoair P5 air purifier is a very attractive HEPA filter that is easy to use that is perfect for a small room, such as a bedroom. It is a medium size air purifier that is attractive, lightweight, and feels well made. It comes with the device, a filter, a prefilter, a quick start guide, user manual, and power adapter. Setup: Setup for the air purifier is easy. Following the Quick Start Guide, you open the unit up, remove plastic and Styrofoam padding, insert the filter, insert the prefilter, close the unit, and turn it on. Performance: Using the air purifier is amazingly simple. The top of the unit has a touch panel that gives you the options. I first selected fan speed 2. This speed moved the air at a pretty good clip but was quiet at the same time. My current air purifier in the bedroom is much noisier at every speed than this model. I cycled through the fan speeds, and I couldn’t hear it running on 1 and 2 unless I was right on top of it. Fan speed 3 has a small amount of noise but would not affect my sleeping. And fan speed 4 was louder but was also moving air at a very fast rate. I settled for 2. The next option I tested was sleep mode. This mode is why this air purifier has replaced the one in the bedroom. When selected, it runs on speed 1, which makes no sound, but it also turns all the lights off, including the touch panel and nightlight. My other air purifier has a very bright cobalt blue LED that burns a hole in your eyes at night when the bedroom is supposed to be dark. This unit does include a nightlight which is a very nice feature for those who want one or need it. It provides a very soft white light between the upper and lower sections. It doesn’t light up the entire room and is a good level for someone who needs a nightlight. The last feature is the timer. It allows you to set it to run for either 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, or 8 hours. Once the timer reaches the end, the unit powers off until you turn it back on. Conclusion: The Kyvol Vigoair P5 air purifier is an attractive, quiet, easy to use air filter that, in my opinion, is perfect for a bedroom. The features should work for just about everyone, and the nighttime lighting options are perfect for people who need it dark (myself), or those who need a small amount of soft lighting. The unit is quiet except for the highest settings, and the HEPA filter is perfect for those with allergies or in a dusty environment. This unit has already replaced the one in my bedroom, which is now cleaning my office. I highly recommend the Kyvol Vigoair P5 air purifier.

Love this sleek and modern looking air purifier in our 4 week olds nursery. It’s quiet and the hepa filter has really impressive stats for pulling impurities dust and allergens out of the air! She’s getting fresh air and we feel comforted by that

I was expecting something a little bigger, but I like the small size. It does a good job at removing dust odors from the air in a small to medium size room. It removed my wife’s candle and nail polish smells in about 15 minutes in our bedroom. It’s quieter than the other two larger air purifiers that I have previously reviewed, at its lowest fan settings. However, it does make a faint sound kind of like an aquarium pump that you can barely hear but you probably won’t notice it at all across a room, unless it’s dead quiet. If it’s dead quiet in your bedroom and you’re trying to go to sleep the sound might bother you. If there’s any furniture between you and it that will help deaden the sound of it. If there’s any ambient noise from a TV, radio, people talking.... You will likely not notice it at all at the lowest two fan speeds. Obviously, it will get louder at higher fan speeds just like any other device that blows air. The unit comes in “Eco Friendly” packaging that’s in a recyclable cardboard box with shock absorbing egg crate style cardboard. However, there is some plastic bags and a few pieces for dense plastic foam. Be sure and remove them before using. Unboxing and set up is quick and simple. Just follow the quick setup guide. The unit has a main Activated Carbon, HEPA, Antimicrobial filter and a couple of washable Pre-Filters. There’s a resettable timer for the main filter and they advise to wash the pre-filter every month or so and to replace them if damaged. They catch the big stuff and the main filter gets small stuff and odors. Also removes VOCs. See Photos. Interestingly, you have to call Kyvol to get the link to buy a replacement filter from them. The disc in the top center is where the backlit touch controls are. All are visible at the same brightness when the unit is off. Selected functions are brighter than none-selected ones when unit is in operation. There are 4 fan speeds and 4 timer settings (2-4-6-8 hours) that you cycle through with each touch and their current settings are displayed around the button. See Photos. Sleep mode sets the unit to the lowest fan setting and turns off the night light if on. Touch any button location to light up all the buttons and touch Sleep again to take it out of Sleep mode. Filter Replacement Indicator illuminates when it’s time to change the main filter. A long press of 3 or more seconds will reset the filter timer. Child Lock, Long press of 3 seconds to activate / deactivate. Night Light, touching it will turn illuminate the divided section of the unit and discretely shine down on the floor. A long touch will increase in steps to the brightness to a maximum. Long touch again to decrease brightness. Note: At any level, except maximum, you may notice that the night light flickers. Like LED tail lights on certain cars. Not noticeable looking right at it but it is when panning your head / eyes. Night Light doesn’t work when the unit is off. I wish it did. The unit includes a power adapter the connects via USB-C. However, it supplies 12 volts DC and not the usual 5 volts phones, tablets and other common devices use. So, be careful not to connect it to 5-volt DC USB-C devices because it could damage them. I researched USB-C used as a power source and it’s complicated as to what will work with what and at what voltages, and what can auto sense the voltage and adapt to it. The Air Purifier is Not Wi-Fi. Nor would I expect it to be at this price. It does not indicate high levels of VOCs, dust or humidity like more expensive models I have revied do. No “Auto” Mode for speeding up the fan speed to clear the air faster as it doesn’t sense the items previously mentioned. My conclusion is that it’s a very good value for the price. as an HVAC Contractor I Recommend it.

KYVOL 215 SQ. FT P5 HEPA AIR PURIFIER - GRAY MODEL:VIGP5X-DG Best Buy Tech Insider Network SMALL QUIET AIR CLEANER – LIMITED CLEANING POWER OVERALL The KYVOL VIGP5X is an attractive easy to use small and quiet air cleaner. I found it to be well built and easy to use without any complicated setup. I like that it does not need or require a remote or an app on your phone to use. Set it up, turn it on, and enjoy. I tested the KYVOL VIGP5X in my small home office room (10x10). On its lowest fan setting, I could not even tell it was running. The lights are nice as well, with a soft glow that can act as night light. Since I already use HEPA filters in my furnaces and pretty much have an air filter in every room, it was hard to demonstrate a measurable improvement in air quality with the KYVOL VIGP5X. One feature that the KYVOL VIGP5X does not have is a built-in air quality meter or display. This means that there not an “Auto” feature for air quality. So, it is up to the user to set the fan levels. PERFORMANCE Due to airflow variances, what else is going on around the house (gas cooking, etc), it is often difficult to get a precise measurement, but I have 2 different devices to measure air quality. Unfortunately, after 3 days of testing and multiple samples, I was never able to demonstrate / measure and improvement in air quality with the KYVOL VIGP5X. I have tested perhaps 5 other AIR CLEANERS and that has never been the case (they always showed some improvement, even if only a little). I am not a filter expert, but the filters on the KYVOL VIGP5X seem very porous compared to other filters. I can’t concretely prove that the air cleaner is doing anything. In a 10x10 room with the door closed and only occupied 30% of the time. RECOMMENDATION Although the quality is there, I would prefer a unit with a built-in sensor, and I was not able to independently measure any improvement in air quality. That being said, my air quality is already very good. So while the KYVOL VIGP5X is not an aggressive air cleaner, it does a good job overall. If you don’t want to break the bank and only have a small area to clean, I think this is a good start.

Great product with a great price. Super easy to install and very premium feel.
