Air Purifiers Reviews

It works as I expected it to. The fan is quite powerful, and the motor is very quiet. Not quite a whisper; more of a subtle droning in the background that's hardly noticeable after a while. My only concern is that with such a powerful fan, in the short-term, the fan stirs up allergins in the room, so consider leaving the machine on for a while prior to entering the room.

I got this about 2 months ago because I wanted to reduce some of the cat hair in my room but honestly I can barely tell the difference. I leave it on 24/7 at medium speed (high speed is way too loud)

This was hard to find at stores and easy to get at Amazon. Thanks

Excellent product which does exactly what it is advertised to do.

This Hamilton Bch Air Purifier does a more than adequate job of cleaning the air in a room up to 300 Sq Ft and I would highly recommend i considering the wonderfully inexpensive price compared to other leading air purifiers. My allergies have improved greatly and my wife and I catch much less colds.

I recently got purchased two air purifiers, my first unit, the Bionaire tower from Costco wasn't bad at $125 CADR was about half of this unit. Loud at all speeds, I guess the smaller fan has to spin faster to move the air. But alas, It wasn't big enough for my 20x24' bedroom, so I needed to upgrade.

Why I chose this unit over the Honeywell 50250

High efficiency! Very low power usage, so it can be on 24/7. On silent mode it uses 4 watts! And yes silent mode is absolutely silent. Thats nightlight wattage! On max it uses 54 watts and moves a lot of air. The honeywell unit is loud and uses lots of power. 170 watts on high! It does however move slightly more air than the Plasmacluster.

Plasmacluster/Ionization. Honeywell didn't have it.

Cool design with LEDs

Even without the rebate this is the unit to buy for larger rooms.

I do however wonder how the HEPA filter is going to last 5 years when you can't clean it. The prefilter and carbon filter will catch the majority of the dust, but once the HEPA gets clogged you have to either run it at lower efficiency or get a new one.

We live in a desert enviroment, a lot of dust inside our home constantly, it is also allergy season and I haven't been sick, (yet!)
We just had a new baby and we placed the unit in her room, it is very silent, and we haven't had any allergy or sinus problems with her, we think it is thanks to the clean air she breaths.
I do recommend to purchase this product. I am purchasing one more for my parents and one for my office. (We work next to a foundry plant and they expell thick smoke everyday which we breath thru our AC system!)

Yes, this thing will set you back a little more "gold" than something like the other product I tried, the Honeywell 50250 Envirocare Air Purifier. However, BELIEVE ME PEOPLE, it is well worth it and I am definitely not one to throw money around left and right for little or no benefit. I love VALUE and the value factor with this unit is excellent.

I returned the Honeywell unit because, quite frankly, folks, it was too noisy. Even on the low setting, it sounded like a big whooshing floor box fan on at least medium if not high. It was white-noise-ish but it still interfered with TV watching to an annoying degree. On the other hand, if you WANT white noise, by all means go for that unit.

As soon as I packed that thing up to send back, I ordered this, the Sharp Plasmacluster FP-N60CX unit, and could not be happier. With the Sharp rebate available plus a special Valentine's day discount from Amazon, I was able to get it for a final bill of two hundred thirty eight. Sweet!

The Sharp unit is significantly more advanced: it kills bacteria and certain viruses (like influenza) with the plasmacluster feature, has separate pollen and dust sensors which will kick the unit on and off depending on environmental pollution, has a remote control that I can program into my learning remote (SO AWESOME to be able to sit on the couch, press a button on a remote to turn the display on to see the air quality (good, slightly impure or very impure) and then turn the display back off), etc.

The Honeywell unit, on the other hand, simply had a low, medium, high and off turn-switch you had to set manually, no automatic adjustment, no smart sensors, etc.

One nice thing about this over the Honeywell is that this unit is relatively flat. It will close to the wall and be unobtrusive. The Honeywell is this stout little pot of a barrel-like thing...feels like you're wasting space. So I am really digging the Sharp unit.

Also, a big deal was this (pay attention): The replacement charcoal filters for the Honeywell unit run about $11 online, and you must replace every three months for the odor removal to keep working. That is $44 per year.

On the other hand, the Sharp unit's charcoal filter is WASHABLE and lasts 5 years. This is a consumables savings of $220! That is almost what I PAID for this unit.

If the price difference is LESS than this $220, and you want to retain the smell removal, the Sharp is CLEARLY the better choice!

The increase in price of one hundred dollars final after rebates was well worth it for the Sharp unit.

All that said, the Honeywell unit did give that "fresh moutaintop air" feel to the air in my house. The Sharp just does it even better, though. Oh and I am happy to report no itchy, scratchy problems from cat dander. Have been almost completely itch-free for two weeks now. Sweet.

I wish I ncould leave feed back on this item. Item was shipped but did not work. When I returned it and requested a replacement I was issued a refund instead. Found a simular modle at HD for less money that works perfectly.

This dehumidifier works fairly well. It is noticably less damp in the apartment, and I haven't had the need for allergy medicine (like I normally do this time of year). However, my electricity bill nearly doubled--be prepared.

I was pleased with the easy set up (just plug it in), 'quiet' mode really is quiet, and it lowered the humidity in my space from 75% to 55% within a couple of hours. It is easy to empty the water tank, looks good, and is portable. THe directions warn that the casters could scratch floors when it is wheeled around, but it has not scratched my hardwood floors. I really like this product.

The carbon filters do a pretty good job of filtering dust, etc. before it enters the unit's main filter. They are pretty gross when changing though. ;) The only real drawback is that little black fibers from the pre-filter get on the unit (and elsewhere) easily when you are replacing them.

I have asthma and the Hamilton Beach 04162 has both my votes. I did a lot of research and intially bought the Blue Air (which I returned the next day). The reviews indicated it was the quitest air purifier. It isn't and it cost 2 and 1/2 times the price of the Hamilton Beach. Although it supposedly has the lowest decibel level (which I do not believe), the BlueAir has an extremely irritating high whine that oscillates irregularly, not to mention an annoying bright blue light. This might be good for torturing someone, but the BlueAir is NOT quiet. The only reason I didn't buy the Hamilton Beach to begin with was because a reviewer said he could not sleep to it. ... The Hamilton Beach on low setting has a white noise effect and I actually prefer to have it on when I sleep. It's sound is soporific. The light from the Infrared can be turned off, but it is not annoying like the light from the BlueAir, so I leave it on. The infrared has elimated the mold problem we were having in our bathroom. It is very attractive, well designed, well built, doesn't way a ton, monitors the air, does not incorporated ozone (thank God), and has enabled me to sleep much better. The air is noticibly cleaner and fresher now. The bottom line is I use to get up frequently at night wiith my asthma and now I don't!

I don't think I would have bought this product without the helpful picture.

I tried a Haier 65 pint and it was louder on its low setting than this one is on its high setting. The Haier also started short-cycling after about 5 days of operation. After that bad experience, I spent a couple of hours reading every review of dehumidifiers I could find, and decided to go with the Soleus based on the fact that it was supposed to be the quietest. WHAT A HUGE IMPROVEMENT over the Haier!

I would give this model 5 stars, but it has these "deficiencies" when compared to other models:

1. No temperature and humidity display. Ok, I agree, it doesn't affect the operation, but it's one of those things I did like about the Haier. Granted, on the Haier, all the display did was show me that the thing stopped working.

2. The hose connection needs to be punched out and is not a threaded connection for a garden hose, although my garden hose slips over the connection just fine when I cut off the hose end.

3. The unit does not return to "on" after power goes out. I really wanted this feature so that I could put the unit on a timer to run for x hours every day.

4. It's not Energy Star rated. It is only 330W though, which is much less than other similarly sized models.

In summary: Don't waste your time with all the other models available. The Soleus works fine and I can't hear it in the next room even when the fan is on HI.

PS: Look around and you may find a deal like I did. I paid just 139 at a big box.

I decided, just before the summer heat started, to buy only one air conditioner for my bedroom and a dehumidifier for the living room to provide some comfort. Believe it or not it works great! At least this brand does. My living room has 10' ceilings and is approximately 400 square feet (including a kitchen.) The room is still warm especially when the temperature reaches 80, but there is no discomfort. The only down side is the warm air released by unit. The living room cools off as long as I have my Vornado fan (best fan in the world) blowing cool air from the bedroom to living room.

I purchased this dehumidifier for mainly basement use, but wanted one quiet enough for use upstairs if needed. And, boy is this thing quiet. My refrigerator is louder. I also own a Fedders 45 pint unit and a Whirlpool 65 pint noise maker. The Fedders (Maytag) was the quiet champ untill I purchased the Soleus Air CFM-40E. The Whirlpool removes an amazing amount of water, but can be heard UPSTAIRS when running in the basement. So it is used only when needed. The Soleus Air is so quiet I have to go down the basement stairs and visually check to see if the unit is on. Can't say that for many dehumidifiers. My only complaint is that the fan is always on, even when it has reached the set humidity level. This prevents the short cycling the others do, on for 2 minutes off for 2 minutes or so, but I think prevents an Energy Star certification. At 2.9 amps it draws significantly less than the Fedders 5.6 amps and the Whirlpool's 7.9 amps.

The Soleus Air works great (so far) upstairs in the spring, when it is cool but damp, like the weather this week. Here in Wisconsin it is in the 60's but rainy, so the house is humid. Running the central air is not necessary since the house is not hot. So I use a dehumidifier, which makes the house seem less clammy. I would recommend the Soleus Air CFM-40E to anyone who is looking for a small, really quiet, relatively light, medium capacity (40pint) dehumidifier that simply does what is supposed to do (remove water from air) with out excess noise.

I purchased this to replace the filter on my 04163 unit and although the description (and box) say it is compatible with this unit, it was the wrong size! I still don't know how to order the correct one.

These filters are great and are very easy to install. I live in a house that gets dusty quick even without my 2 Australian Shepherds. I even vacuum off (don't know whether Hamiltom Beach would approve though) the pre-filters every week or so. The unit definitely catches a lot of the dog hair that floats through the air after I brush the dogs. I've found that the pre-filter does a pretty good job of catching hair and dust before it even gets to the HEPA filter.

We received the filters in two shipments, which was perfectly fine, as we only needed one box at first. We ordered a double shipment to save on shipping and it is nice to have them on hand when we need them next. These filters are difficult to locate in nearby stores, so this is easy to order through Amazon!

Not a bad price. I get 2 uses out of one package for my air purifier. I would not say it lasts 3 months though.

I actually use this with my Whirlpool air purifiers because they're thicker and can easily be cut to size. This cuts down on the gunk actually getting to my hepa filter much more than the regular pre-filters recommended by Whirlpool.

Product received in a timely manner and meets advertised specifications. Would purchase again thru amazon.

Excellent price for the features of UV ray antibacterial and a true HEPA filter. The shape is a awkward stumpy trapazoid. Great features including an air quality sensor.

Extremely easy to put together- within a few minutes it was up and running. I prefer the auto setting, although after just a few minutes it kicks into low and is there pretty much all the time...Best part- my husband's snores have been reduced from freight-train volume, down to faint breathing...hallelujah I can actually sleep through the night!

I had looked at several different air purifiers, both in store and online, before finally choosing this one. I must say I am very pleased with my choice. The price was very reasonable and it definitly exceeded my expectations, considering all the many options in air purification. I noticed a huge difference in the quality of the air in my home the next day. I have always had trouble breathing when I sleep and always clearing my throat throughout the day and after having the air purifier running for just a few days, I have noticed these problems dissapear. It is also interesting watching how it senses things like vacuuming and burning candles polluting the air and adjusts its speed accordingly. Definitly a great buy.

I spent some time searching around, with my criteria being of course cost-effectiveness, low noise, and mostly the ability to clean the air effectively. I was initially under the impression that the replacement filters would save me a lot *(over previously systems I had owned), but that was not the most important selling point. I am now shopping for filters, and realizing that it is a two-step process... getting both the carbon screen and the entire filter. While I am shopping around for the best deal, I am planning to meanwhile just use the vacumn to prolong the life of the existing carbon screen and filter.... seems to be ok to do. I highly recommend this product.... GREAT UNIT !

After owning several more expensive HEPA filters over the last 10 years, I have been very impressed with the Hamilton Beach TrueAir Air Cleaner. I throughly researched this unit before purchasing and have been very pleased with its capabilities. It's quiet, the filters are easy to change and find, and its automatic function with the UV light works as expected. It was well worth the investment.
