Great product. Read for comparison against 582A
By Alp ATICI
I wanted to post this review mainly because there is no real comparison between Rabbit Air MinusA2 (covers 700 sq. ft.) Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier - 6 Stage Filtration! - built in Mood Light and the Rabbit Air BioGP (model 582A - covers 780 sq. ft.) Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier w/ Germicidal Protection- Low Maintenance - Washable Filters!, Pearl White out there. This is to give you an idea if you're making a choice between the two. [...]I first purchased the 582A but returned it after a few months of usage due to some minor defect for an exchange with MinusA2 (RabbitAir support was extremely helpful). As a result I have experience with both of these units. The main reason I purchased an Air Purifier was dust elimination and for that particular purpose in mind both these products exceeded my expectations.In the order of importance for me, these are the differences:- As I am posting this review MinusA2 is $[...] more expensive than 582A. So why should you even consider MinusA2? Read on...- Filtering:(a) MinusA2 has 2 more levels of filtering. The Medium Filter (which filters medium sized particles and increases the efficiency/lifespan of the main HEPA filter) and a Customized Filter of your choice.(b) On the other hand although RabbitAir boasts about the benefits of BioGP HEPA filters over the regular HEPA filters on their website, it's not clear if the MinusA2 HEPA filter is also BioGP (yet it's made by 3M and looks high quality). The price of the 582A's HEPA filter is more expensive. I am not sure if this is due to the surface area or because 582A's filter is really more effective.- Noise level: This is where MinusA2 shines due to its more efficient new engine.(a) I was pleasantly surprised to find out MinusA2 improves quite a bit over already very silent 582A. To compare at different speeds the noise and Clean Air Flow, check the Features tab in RabbitAir's own website for each product.(b) I am not sure how RabbitAir calculates the sq ft. coverage but I run these units at the highest speed for which noise is acceptable (~ about 30dB in my opinion). Consequently I can run MinusA2 at Medium speed producing 97 Cubic Feet/min of clean air as opposed to 582A's Low speed producing 85 Cubic Feet/min.- Area of coverage: Although 582A is rated at 780 sq ft. versus 700 sq ft. of MinusA2, if you check the Features tab for each product on RabbitAir's website you'll find out that MinusA2's clean air output is generally higher at the same speed setting as well as its CADR (clean air delivery rate) rating. I imagine RabbitAir's sq ft. calculation is based on the maximum setting in which 582A outputs 208 Cubic Feet/min vs 187 Cubic Feet/min of MinusA2. However I think this is unrealistic and I doubt many of you will choose to use it at the highest setting due to high energy consumption and noise.- Design and build quality: MinusA2 wins this comparison by far.(a) I must say though that there's room for improvement for both of these products. For both of them the plastic construction looks a bit cheap although this is more apparent with 582A. I wish their build were metallic.(b) However MinusA2 is quite handsome overall with its square lines.(c) It could also be wall mounted.(d) One more thing I'd like to mention is I really liked the tiny remote of 582A. I think MinusA2's remote is not only less functional but is bulkier for no reason. I also miss 582A's the tiny remote control pocket behind the unit which reduced remote control clutter in the house.(e) By the way although the mood light of MinusA2 adds to its cool looks, I believe RabbitAir's own claim of the Mood Light "helping normalize blood pressure, pulse, and facilitate deep breathing blah blah" is total nonsense. I think this sounds totally unscientific and if anything has negative influence on my view of RabbitAir as a honest company with high quality products. Also you will find out that you can't change the color of this light as you wish (based on your mood) but the unit sets that itself (based on its own mood).- Energy consumption: MinusA2 consumes between 8 to 47 Watts whereas 582A consumes between 7 to 67 Watts. I believe the lower consumption of MinusA2 is due to the newer generation Mitsubishi engine employed. Therefore you can expect lower energy usage if you plan to run the unit at anything beyond the Silent setting.- Sensors:(a) Note that MinusA2 does not have an odor sensor although 582A has. I think this is quite useful with 582A and I don't understand why RabbitAir chose to drop this from MinusA2.(b) On the other hand MinusA2 has a light sensor. Certainly it does not help to do a better air purification, but if you're using the Auto mode then the unit goes to the Silent setting automatically a few mins after the lights are dimmed. I think this should've been optional even in the Auto mode but it's a useful feature nevertheless.(c) The particle sensor of MinusA2 looks more elaborate and I imagine it does a better job.(d) Furthermore MinusA2 has adjustable sensor sensitivity. This is extremely useful, and the reason I returned 582A was because the sensors of the unit I received was simply too sensitive and was changing from "clean" to "very dirty" for no apparent reason in a split second (during late nights etc when there was no virtual change in room conditions).Overall I think MinusA2 is a great unit and improves on the already impressive 582A. I thought it's worth the price difference. I already ordered a new one after RabbitAir customer support said they could give me a discount for an additional unit.

By FlyingPolarBear
Update 4/10/11: I upgraded my review to 5 stars because the optical sensor is a lot of fun. When my cat walks by, it turns purple. When I cut through the ceiling to install a new air conditioning supply register, it turned red for a while. In quiet mode this is just about silent during bed time.I have both the 700A and 780A series. The simplicity of the design is very attractive, and the electronic controls are top notch. The light sensor is great for the bedroom so it automatically goes into low speed sleep mode. For us, it looks better on the floor than on the wall because of the depth.I couldn't tell any difference between my 700A and 780A. Out of curiosity I took some scientific measurements of the sound level and power usage between the two models (I work in aerospace, so this was easy).Basically the ONLY difference between the two is that the 780A fan will blow more air in Turbo mode. The product specs state that the fan spins faster on the 780A in all modes; but in reality it's just in the Turbo mode. If you don't need the highest setting (which is pretty noisy anyway when it's cranked up so high), or the expanded color/artwork selection, then you could save $ going with the 700A.The following sound level measurements are from Auto mode. It will go even quieter than the numbers below when it's set to Quiet mode (in which case it is completely silent from a few feet away).Sound SPL level at 6 inches from the vent:700A 780A55dbA 54dbA Level 1 Silent58dbA 55dbA Level 2 Low61dbA 61dbA Level 3 Medium66dbA 68dbA Level 4 High72dbA 75dbA Level 5 Turbo(note: noise measurements depend on distance - manufacturers usually take it from several feet away for more impressive numbers)Power usage:700A 780A4W 4W Level 1 Silent6W 6W Level 2 Low12W 12W Level 3 Medium27W 26W Level 4 High48W 62W Level 5 TurboFor reference comparison here is the sound level I measured from my Honeywell model 17000 air cleaner:67dbA Low72dbA Medium80dbA HighThe Rabbit Air is much quieter than this basic Honeywell model, but all the manufacturers fudge with their sound level ratings because they don't tell you the distance they're measuring at.

Upgrade if $ is no object
By Lexie
I originally purchased the BigoGS 580 and found the sensors not reliable in my unit. The sensors went from green to red for no apparent reason if I moved it a foot. Instead of getting a replacement I switched to the MinusA2 Spa 700A (toxin remover) due to the 6 stage filtration. I live below two chain smokers and I want to ensure that I have the extra protection. I had the two units for about 2 days to 3 weeks so I can't comment on longevity.It does a great job removing pollen and odor like the BioGS. It is pretty quiet. I don't even notice it on unless the room is completely silent. I noticed that the silent & quiet modes are more noticeable than the BioGS. I can hear the motor on the MinusA2 whereas on the BioGS I could not unless I was right next to it.The only drawback that this unit has is if the room is dark, it automatically switches to sleep mode and turn off the sensor light. If you are living near smokers this does not work! Smoke could be drifting across my face and this unit does not adjust according to room condition. In order for it to do a thorough I have to leave it on low, med, high or turbo at night and this is not efficient use of energy.Pros: Sleek, quiet, 6 stage filtration, option to turn off mood light, particle sensor, great customer serviceCons: lack of an odor sensor, black background make it tough to read the settings, auto mode not really 'auto' in the dark, cost of filters, bulky remote controlThe only feature that this unit has that the BioGS doesn't is 2 extra stages of filtration. Is it worth the extra $60 to $140? The MinusA2 filters also cost more and need to be replaced more often. In my opinion, the BioGS is adequate if you are looking for a good air purifier.
