Amaircare 3000 Portable HEPA Air Cleaner Review

Amaircare 3000 Portable HEPA Air Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been a user of this unit for just about 10 years now. Could not be happier with it. It has never let me down, has never stopped working, and I use it every day. I've only had to replace the HEPA filter twice - which is relatively rare given how long I run this thing and how long I've had it.
The only units that might be better than this are the $900-range ones, so for the price you won't find better. I'll buy this again all day long if I had to. Given how long this has lasted me, my total costs of ownership on this keep lowering every year it continues to run. It just doesn't die!
A real test was recently I had moved and while living temporarily in furnished housing, I did not unpack my Americare 3000 since I knew I was in transition and would be in a new residence soon. I had miserable allergies and my nose was stuffed-up every night. I went to the storage unit to retrieve it, and the next day (after letting it run all night), I was instantly feeling better. I even slept better the following night, nose was not congested, no allergies.
Best $500 investment I've ever made, bar-none.

I have been using this filter for years and its fantastic. It performs just like the manufacturer says. Its a must have if you do vacuming,or work in a dusty enviroment like yard work; especially if you are Asthmatic or sensitive to dust and other irritants like dust mites,dander, mold, pollen etc.

If the Holmes engineers call this quiet, then they must be going deaf. I'll be returning it tomorrow. I've heard much larger air purifiers that are much more quiet than this.

This unit cleans a surprising amount of filth from the air and is suitable for a small room.
I wish the unit accepted washable filters.
UPDATE Aug. 2010: I have knocked the unit off the shelf onto the carpet several times and it still functions. Still amazed at the amount of particulates it traps.

Whynter Eco Pure Personal Air Purifier, Black (PAF-101-BL)
This works perfect for my car. I have a long commute to work and can't help but question the fumes I brief in twice a day 90 mins each way. It runs silent almost wondering if it works, but the air in my car smells clean for the first time in years. Btw, you need a 12v adaptor if you want to use it in the car. I just used a Medel 12V lighter adaptor which I had handy. Not that it smells like flowers and meadows, but it's the lack of smell that has me impressed.
I checked the filter after about a month and it was not a pretty sight. Maybe it's all in my mind, but I can honestly say I breathe better. It's not cheap, but I think it's worth the price if it does what it's supposed to. If you have a need for one, I would definitely recommend this.

Hamilton Beach TrueAir 04381 Allergen Reducer Air Cleaner Review

Hamilton Beach TrueAir 04381 Allergen Reducer Air Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To start, I just want to let it be known that I've had my Hamilton Beach TrueAir Allergen Reducer for all of a week... But there's been so much of a difference that I couldn't wait any longer to write this review.
I've never had any hardcore allergies to cats or dogs, and I love pets. When I married my wife, I became Dad to her six cats. Long hair, shorthair, hair everywhere. And a few months ago, I began noticing that waking up in the morning was getting increasingly unpleasant. As of last month (and I'll try not to be overly graphic) I was waking up without fail each day with what felt like a concrete mixer behind my eyes. Congested every morning, and having to take extra-long, piping hot showers to feel any better... usually followed by at 500 mg of Tylenol and an additional allergy medicine.
So I saw this Allergen Reducer for a 210 square foot room online and decided the price was right to give it a shot (replacement filters are less than $15 each, which was also an acceptible cost). Our bedroom is about that size exactly, and since we usually have at least three cats in bed with us at any given time during the night, it seemed worthy of the investment.
After four days of having this machine on in our room (with the one door usually open only enough for the cats to enter and exit), I'm happy to report that each day I have (waked? woken? waken?) to a 99% improvement. I'll certainly come back to this review in future months to update, but there has been such an enormous difference within a very short time that I wanted to tell others who might be currently experiencing what I have in the past that this device might provide much welcomed relief, and quickly!

I got this filter because I have cats and birds, and before I started using it, I always had a coating of "bird dust" on everything and was concerned about breathing it. I bought it in mid summer, and in early fall, I opened it up to see if the filters were "catching" anything, and sure enough, they were covered with a fine powdery silt, and then I realized that the bird dust that used to cover desks and other surfaces had almost disappeared since I had started using it. I was grateful to know that the machine had been doing its job. Whenever it was on, I did notice a subtle change in air quality...it seemed fresher. I have kept it running almost constantly for three months, and have not had any problems with it.
While it's working, I don't notice the sound that much, especially on the lower setting which is what I usually keep it on. It simply becomes "white noise". The higher setting is definitely louder, so if that's something that bothers a person, it should be kept in mind, but it's a humming, blowing sound, not rattling or harsh.
I can't compare it to other air purifiers because it's the only one I've ever had, but for the price, and for a person on a budget, I think it's done an amazing job. I'd like to get another for a different part of my house.

Holmes Hap8756 True HEPA Allergen Remover/Air Purifier Review

Holmes Hap8756 True HEPA Allergen Remover/Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I suffer from strong pollen allergies (watery eyes, itchy throat, itchy body, even mild asthma...).
This year has been particularly bad so far, despite a heavy use of anti-allergy medication like benadryl.
Last week I decided to buy this Holmes air purifier, to see if that works. And, surprisingly I must confess, it is actually very efficient against airborne allergens: I placed this unit in my bedroom, and I had no problem sleeping at night. My itchy throat and watery eyes completely disappeared. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.
The only issue I see is that the unit is a bit noisy, but that does not prevent me from sleeping (it's like having a A/C unit on, you get used to the noise). So I recommend this air purifier for people who suffer from pollen allergies.

Average Reviews:

A few years ago in San Diego, CA there was an emergency situation with fire outbreaks close enough to metropolitan area to create a toxic environment. My wife is susceptible to asthma and it made her very ill. In fact, our miniature maltese also became sick as well. I knew I had to find a top of the line air purifier asap. I researched many products and chose the IQ Air Healthpro compact home air purifier. It was expensive but the health of our family comes first. This is definately a worthy investment. We have utilized this product for several years and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Holmes HAP716-U True-HEPA 3-Speed Tower Allergen Remover Review

Holmes HAP716-U True-HEPA 3-Speed Tower Allergen Remover
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You might say I have OCD when it comes to dust. I've always had to deal with a thin film of it building up on my desk over the course of just a day or two, so when I gave my office a total makeover, I decided that I would do everything to eliminate as much dust as possible. I bought the Holmes True-HEPA tower about a week ago and I couldn't be happier. I run it 24/7, usually on 3, but sometimes on 1 or 2 if I'm on the phone or something (although it isn't really too loud). After a week, there's not a speck of dust in sight. I never expected it to work so well!
Another plus is that the pre-filter is washable, so you don't have to purchase two sets of replacement filters. Most of the other purifiers that I researched used incredibly expensive filters. I could have easily just purchased a brand new air purifier for the same price. But the filters for the Holmes True-HEPA tower are only half the price of the device itself, which isn't bad at all, in my opinion.
The bottom line is: if you have serious issues with dust, household odors, or allergies, this is the best $80 you will ever spend.

Holmes® HAP242-UC HEPA-type Desktop Air Purifier Review

HolmesĀ® HAP242-UC HEPA-type Desktop Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned mine for about 5 years, and I love it. I was surprised to see so many negative comments from other reviewers. If I may add my two cents to the discussion:
* This machine works great as an air purifier for small/medium bedrooms. It is designed to remove dust and other allergens from the air, and it does so quite well in my opinion. It's not meant to clean the air in the whole house. It's not meant to remove strong odors like stinky pets, dirty diapers, etc. That's what an odor eliminator is for. (I use a Hamilton Beach 04271R TrueAir Plug-Mount Odor Eliminator next to the litter box, and I can't complain.) An odor eliminator contains a carbon filter than neutralizes bad smells. A HEPA air purifier contains a filter of thickly folded fibrous paper that strains tiny particles out of the air. The two devices have completely different purposes and methods.
* Yes, you do have to replace the filter periodically. I run my unit continuously on the low setting and have to replace the filter about once a year. Target usually sells them in two-packs or three-packs for a good price.
* It needs to be wiped down with a damp cloth every couple of weeks because the outer casing gathers dust and lint. In my experience it does NOT, as other users have commented, get filthy. I supposed it might if you never cleaned it. The fact that it attracts dust means it's working.
* It's almost silent on the low setting. Medium is audible but not intrusive. The high setting is almost as loud as a dust buster. I've found the low setting to be sufficient for small bedrooms.
I hope this helps.

Airfree Onix 3000 Mobile Home Air Purifier Sanitizer Unit System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having recently been diagnosed with asthma I was anxious to find a good air purifier for my bedroom. I opted for the Airfree Onix 3000 because it was not only rated highly but, amazingly, required no maintenance.Within a matter of hours after plugging it in I noticed that the air smelled a lot fresher and the first morning after having the purifier in my room I woke up with almost no congestion in my nose (a first!)so it must be doing a good job of getting rid of the allergens. The best part is that because I am a light sleeper it's wonderful to have a purifier that is totally silent. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the anti-stress light but it's kind of a pretty so I may just leave it on. It's too early to comment on this product's longevity but I am extremely happy with it so far. So happy, in fact, that I am ordering 2 more for other parts of our house.
