Holmes® Harmony 3-Speed 99% HEPA/Carbon Filter Air Purifier, 168 sq. ft. room capacity Review

HolmesĀ® Harmony 3-Speed 99% HEPA/Carbon Filter Air Purifier, 168 sq. ft. room capacity
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this air purifier because it's reasonable in price and I like the tower design, which doesn't take up a lot of space. One thing I like about it is the optional ionizer. Most towers are ionic air purifiers, but I wanted a filter because I'm concerned about the ozone that the ionizers create as a byproduct. The noise on low is alright; it's tolerable, but I wouldn't want to sleep with it on medium or high because it's too noisy. I've only had it about a week and I think the air smells cleaner and I've stopped sneezing at home. I am seriously considering buying another one to put downstairs. Overall at the price I paid (about $70), so far I'm satisfied.

Hunter 30785 QuietFlo HEPA Tower Air Purifier with 3-Speed Fan Review

Hunter 30785 QuietFlo HEPA Tower Air Purifier with 3-Speed Fan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I originally bought this Hunter 30785 because it was on sale and this was my first purifier. I really didn't know what to expect. I plugged it in and within minutes could smell a cleanliness in the room. The two nights I had it running while I was sleeping, I noticed I could breathe easier and my wife said I didn't snore. I returned it to the store because I wanted one with a filter that could just be cleaned instead of replaced every year for about $50. I tried the Honeywell 17000 and the Honeywell 50250 which were both True Hepa filters for about a week each and my snoring continued and the clean smell wasn't in the room. I also tried the Germ Guardian UV-C purifier and also noticed no difference. I went back to the store and bought two of the Hunter 30785 models and I am back to sleeping like a baby. I will deal with the added cost of the filters to get a quality product.
And just to correct an earlier post, this purifier does come with filters.

Designed for rooms up to 17 by 18 feet, this air purifier changes the air up to six times per hour and provides a CADR of 200 for smoke, 220 for dust, and 220 for pollen. Its three-speed whisper-quiet fan draws air into the unit without excessive noise, and exhausts clean, purified air back into the room. The purifier also comes equipped with a True HEPA filter that effectively captures 99.97-percent of all airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns in size that pass through the filter. For 30-percent better odor reduction, the unit's separate replaceable carbon prefilter reduces cooking, tobacco, and pet odors, while also capturing larger dust particles, lint, and pet hair from dirty air. Other highlights include digital controls and an LCD display, filter-change indicators, and a sleek style that fits into any home or office decor. Replacement filters include a 30943 filter and a 30901 prefilter. With its space-saving tower design that takes up less floor space than other models, the air purifier measures approximately 13 by 9 by 33 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.

Winix WAC9500 Ultimate Pet True HEPA Air Cleaner with PlasmaWave? Technology Review

Winix WAC9500 Ultimate Pet True HEPA Air Cleaner with PlasmaWave Technology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In the past, I've used various air purifiers, mostly due to my cat's dander and occasional odors (like burning something in the kitchen). Holmes HAP716-U True-HEPA 3-Speed Tower Allergen Remover was convenient and had a thin washable piece of foam, but expensive filter replacements. I used to actually vacuum out the filters to make them last. This Winix True HEPA Filter is an amazing machine.
The Winix cleans through five stages instead of two. Air is also pulled in from two opposing sides with 1" gaps instead of one side and shoots it straight up into the room. The air first travels through the "washable" Anti-Bacterial Pre-filter, then the True Hepa Filter, the "washable" cassette frame, then the "`washable" Nano-Silver Mesh, then the "washable" Carbon Filter before finally getting a dose of `PlasmaWave', which generates both positive and negative ions to create plasma clusters. This neutralizes viruses, bacteria, chemical vapors and odors. Since this is the Ultimate Pet Model, it actually SUCKS CAT HAIR onto the first "washable" Pre-filter! This is what I have always been looking for.
The Display Panel is very intuitive with a timer button, a function button (low, medium, high and Turbo), Dust & Odor Sensors which actually will rise on a colored grid from green to yellow to red. One day, I burned bacon in the kitchen and the Odor Sensor went into red, even though it was in the next room!
The Change Filter Indicator lets you know when it is time to clean your "washable" filters. In Auto-Mode, the `smart sensors' sense the amount of impurities and adjust the fan speed accordingly!The entire unit will go into `sleep mode' when the room is dark, providing filtration without any noise and will readjust with light. There is a sensor for everything. I like the medium setting for sleeping, providing a low white noise.
This is a sturdily built HEPA filter and with washable filters, it will last and save you money. The only filter that needs to be changed is the True HEPA Filter and these run about eighty dollars, but I do not anticipate changing this often considering moderate use of three months only suggests cleaning the washable filters.

Considering I sneeze violently at least once a day, I have not had an attack since this machine has been turned on. This unit is a keeper. (I even suspect that when the True HEPA Filter needs to be cleaned I could use my vacuum, but we'll see how long that takes). There is also a nice small remote control that works all functions and nicely sits in a tray inside the top of the unit.

A1001B Bionaire Air Cleaner Dual Filter Cartridge Review

A1001B Bionaire Air Cleaner Dual Filter Cartridge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After receiving the filter, I find it is the wrong one due to incorrect product info. Upon contacting them, they have no return policy, except to ship it back at my expense, as well as having to eat the initial shipping. Since there was no choice, I did so, although I am now at the point where the 2 shipment costs are starting to approach the cost of the unit itself.
When they received it, it has mysteriously become "damaged", despite being in the same wrapper and box, therefore ineligible for any refund at all. My next step would be to file a damage claim with UPS. I can guess how well that will go.
Needless to say, this is my last experience with this company

17005, Honeywell QuietCare Programmable Air Purifier with Permanent True HEPA Filter Review

17005, Honeywell QuietCare Programmable Air Purifier with Permanent True HEPA Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So far I really like this air cleaner. I moved up to this model from a smaller Honeywell cleaner for a couple of reason. One being more air volume moved per hour, and the second is the larger, more "permanent" filter. The pre-filter should be changed every 2-3 month, but the HEPA filter should last 2-3 years according to Honeywell. You can get the pre-filter for $7-$12 so that's not too bad. I had to replace the filter on my smaller unit every month or two and it was $15 each time.
I do wish this cleaner was a touch more quiet, but what noise it does have would not prevent me from purchasing this unit again.
I have this unit located in the garage not far from a 19" TV that is also remote controlled. Although, I don't use the remote that came with the air cleaner, I did find that the mute button on my TV remote would not only shut the air cleaner off, but would also reset to it factory specifications, so I would loose the time on the clock and any of the two programs you can run.
This started happening right after I got it, and it took me the next day to finally figure out what was causing the random shut-downs. I'm glad now I didn't pack the unit up and return it. The simple solution was to cut a little piece of black electrical tape and place it over the IR eye of the air cleaner. Problem solved.

Smoker with a new car....quite a problem. I wasn't expecting much with this but I have to admit, it works great. Car smells great everytime I get in it. No smoke smell at all. I just wish I knew about this years ago. Actually smells like a waterfall, just fresh, not a masking smell.

HAPF96 Holmes Carbon Air Cleaner Replacement Pre-Filter (2 Pack)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this as a 'project item' meaning to customize it for my own uses. It arrived exactly as described, and faster than I expected. It is a semi-coarse, self supporting filter media embedded with carbon. It cuts easily with boning shears to fit some obsolete or custom blower units. I use it as a secondary filter after a large particle filter and before a HEPA style filter for a continually dusty area. I feel it works well for my situation.

Therapure® TPP300 HEPA/UV Air Purifier Review

Therapureandreg; TPP300 HEPA/UV Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this filter for almost a year. Even though it SAYS the filters never need replacing, they DO! After use any HEPA filter that cannot be washed will need to be replaced after particulate matter is drawn deeper and deeper into the existing filters, that being said, as a filter I have loved the effectiveness. Now on to customer service.....
Seeing that the filters are now in need of replacing, I searched high and low for a replacement. Finally emailed their customer service on the manufacturer's page. I was informed that even though they sell the purifiers on the open market, the only way to get the replacement filter was thru them. OK doable. The problem is this: The unit needs TWO filters to replace the existing ones, they are not sold in sets of two. Moreover, the shipping costs as much as the filters if not more, they also do not bundle the shipping on the two filters even though the item REQUIRES two filters. After paying 13.00 EACH for shipping of these filters, you would think that shipping time would be reasonable. Be prepared to wait nearly a MONTH or 15 BUSINESS days. GMAB. Regular mail takes no more than three days to arrive ANYWHERE in the continental US. Are these being shipped directly from India? There is no tracking info provided so you wait a month and keep your fingers crossed that your product arrives.
Had I not paid so much for the unit in the first place, it would now be filling my local landfill in exchange for something more consumer friendly. By next year, it may be.
****Update after a month I contacted the company about the mysterious filters only to be told that they were on BACKORDER. Now where is that landfill. Hopefully the Sharp FPP60CX that I ordered will make this purifier obsolete. Too bad.... really good system just really poor customer service.

Without a doubt, the Blue Air 203 is the best air purifier I've owned! Because my daughter has eczema, I've installed a number of purifiers throughout our house. Some good, some not-so-good. But, the Blue Air surpasses all of them. It's quiet and solidly built (made mostly of steel, not plastic). When you run it on low, you can barely hear it. And, its been on 24 hours a day, with no problems. So, once again, it gets my thumbs-up!

Austin Air Allergy Machine Review

Austin Air Allergy Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I live in an apartment and a few months ago I got new neighbors in the apartment below. They smoke constantly and often have parties with 8-10 people in a tiny apartment all smoking all night. The building is old, the smoke comes through not only the ventilation system, but directly through the floors and fills my apartment with the disgusting stench of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS). This unit saved me from having to move. It's that good.
The HEGA filter is particularly good at removing gas molecules and thus odors and ETS. I have allergies, but they're manageable - I bought this primarily for odor and ETS control and to that end, it works perfectly.
It's much quieter than I though possible for something that moves so much air. Even on the highest setting, I can easily sleep in the same room with it. Some may be more sensitive to noise, but it's much quieter than some IQAir models that I've heard. On the lowest setting, it's barely audible.
I keep the unit in a largish living room/dining room/kitchen area in my one bedroom apartment and it cleans the air effectively. When combined with the air circulation of my AC unit, it does a great job of filling the apartment with clean, smoke free air.
The filters are extremely effective and come with a five-year warranty. If you live in a particularly polluted environment and your filter doesn't last five years, Austin Air will give you a discount on a replacement filter proportional to the length of its life. The bonus is, it's for that AND every subsequent filter you purchase. The unit itself also comes with a five-year warranty. Austin Air seems really great about craftsmanship and customer service. They don't make a huge variety of products (like Honeywell or a lot of other electronics manufacturers that offer air cleaners), but what they do, they do right.
If you're suffering from annoying odors, ETS, or allergies, this is the machine for you. It's really made all the difference.

LightAir IonFlow 50 Style Air Purifier Review

LightAir IonFlow 50 Style Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The LightAir IonFlow 50S Air Purifier is that rarest of finds; a product that is everything it claims to be and more. I have tried many air purifiers over the years with various results. I noticed over time that they fell into one of the following categories:
1. Essentially worthless- unable to do its job. Usually because of a poor design or by being underpowered.
2. Disposable- Quite a few air purifiers would be fine for a while and then lose effectiveness or stop working completely (usually within the 1st year of ownership). Typically the craftsmanship would be poor and the materials used would be cheap. Customer service would be a joke as well, so trying to fix one of these was a nightmare.
3. Overpriced- Very common category. The advertising would promise the moon, but the reality was that you were paying an extremely high price for mediocrity. Typically includes an ongoing cost for filters as well.
4. Esthetically Deficient- I mean seriously loud, ugly, huge, heavy, dirty, a hassle to clean, or all of the above.
I wish I had the patience to actually categorize each of the air purifiers I have tried so that you would stay away from them, but the best I can do is to say that the ONLY air purifier that I have ever owned that has done its job exactly as advertised while remaining totally silent, is easy to clean, has nothing to periodically replace and is actually stylish enough that many find it attractive is this one right here: the LightAir IonFlow 50S. Now that I have found it and put it to the test, there is no other air purifier that I would own. Period. It's in a category all by itself....Pound for Pound the Best Air Purifier on the market today.

My chemical sensitivities and allergies sent me to the hospital three times this summer and I was at my wits' end. This filter has literally saved my life. I run it on low all the time. I pop it up to high if I smell any smoke in the air or fumes from the street outside my front window, and the air clears within 10 minutes. My health has improved immeasurably since I started running the filter. I've even started working out on my elliptcal again. I'll be buying a second one soon, so that I won't have to move it around the house with me all the time. It's small, quiet, unobtrusive and effective... Thanks Austin Air!

Holmes HAP424-U Air Purifier Review

Holmes HAP424-U Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Don't buy Holmes® HEPA type Tower Air Purifier - HAP422B-U. The only virtues are superficial: the towers look elegant and take up little space. And OK in the summer it acts as a cooling fan. I don't know that it does any more than a fan.
However it came with little instructions, with no pictures, diagrams or any real explanations. Right now I am scouring the net for an 800 number. The filter is almost impossible to change. The door has to be forced open to near breaking; and while you're lining it up to close it back, three of the items keep slipping out of place. Putting it on the floor to do this doesn't help because it rolls around. I'm still not sure the door is completely shut.
I can't find any numbers to call, no online instructions, and I can't get the red change filter light to turn off now that I've changed the filter. The ion light is cool but there's no instructions as to when and how to use it.
The production must have been outsourced to China, and no translaters were hired.
