Air Purifiers Reviews

Mine also died in a month. Should be less than a star. Seemed to do what they claimed until then, but it's sure not worth much, and more trouble than it's worth to deal with this junky little rip-off. Hope this saves someone else the hassle.

I contacted Dynadirect(the company I purchased this POS from), and they said "tough luck, it has been 30 days, contact the manufacturer." I emailed this manufacturer twice regarding the rust issues, and they never respond. If I could give it no stars, I would.

I bought one of these to test it out in my bedroom. It is approx 250 sq ft. I did not see much improvement until after 2 months. My allergies have gotten better, I can sleep at night without waking up to a stuffy nose or soar throat. This may not be for everyone, but for the price I would try it. The unit I have has been going strong now for the past year. The bedroom has a cleaner smell to it. It does work from the junk that I take off of it when I clean it. It is also good in clearing out the smell of smoke and pet dander.

Ok, I don't know if it's the bulb or the purifier system, but I've gone through 3 bulbs in the past six months and it is a joke! The one that came with the purifier was broken when I opened it. The second one worked for 4 months then burned out. These things are expensive ($25) and I would expect it to last a lot longer. The third one I purchased on amazon and it worked for about 30 seconds and then burnt out. Unfortunatley I didn't try it out until 30 days had passed and now I can't return it to the third party seller on amazon. This uv bulb was one of the things I thought was especially nice about this purifying unit and had I known that the bulb was so expensive to replace and only lasts 3-4 months, I might not have purchased the unit. This bulb is a joke.

I've had this hamilton beach air purifier for about two years and finally got around to replacing the air filter so I'm looking for a replacement bulb as well. I'm not sure what's up with the other reviewer's unit, but at over two years the original uv bulb in mine is still working perfectly, I'm just looking to replace it to keep the effectiveness up. Anyway, great air purifier that works wonderfully well

Ionic Breeze Dashboard Ionizer is one of the best products I have ever used.Their is know odors any more in the car and the air is fresh and clean.worth the money.

I've purchased the SO/2000 Turbo Cooker and it's horrible. It doesn't
cook the food and I'm sorry I purchased it. It was a waste of my money
and I would love to get my money back but I waited over the 14 days to
return it because I was trying to give it a chance to cook my food,
but it never did so I'm out $80 and regret it tremendously

i spoke to sammy at the company i bought it from he said that it would be picked up (it was) it is now about 2 month and i did not get my refund. i e-mail sammy many times and no answer back now i am calling my credit card and logging a complaint i cannot get over how this company does business .....

We have used the Sunpentown Super Turbo Oven several times now. The product arrived on time, is very simple to set up and operate, and cleans up super easily! My only concern is that in order to get chicken thoroughly cooked inside the outside ends up a little over cooked but not burnt. But we have found that placing two large chicken breasts on the lowest rack and cooking them at 350 for 40 minutes does cook them fairly evenly inside and out. Add adding some freshly cut french fries during the last 30 minutes produces excellent fries. Overall, we have found the oven to be an excellent bargain for the price.

A friend of mine showed me a picture of one of these she printed out from some website. I knew what a convection oven was, and this odd looking thing that looked like a Dutch oven was hybridized with a tea kettle was NOT a convection oven!

She got one---and loves it! She and her husband use it daily. Her husband, who is physically impaired due to a stroke several years ago, has no problem using it. After seeing it in action myself on several occasions--and eating the beef, chicken and fish cooked in it--I decided to get one of my own.

I have made beef, chicken and fish in here, as well as some veggies (sliced sweet potato) and fruit (I got a metal pan that fits inside, and have baked chopped apples and pairs with cinnamon, sugar, raisins and nuts). While I don't think I'll be baking cakes or cookies in here, and it is still faster to nuke a potato, and I won't give up my cast iron skillet and regular oven when I make omelets, I, too, and using the Sunpentown convection oven every day.

One interesting artifact is that animal protein doesn't shrink nearly as much in this device as it does in a regular oven, because not nearly as much fluid is lost. So I'm finding food goes farther, since I always have left-overs now. And because the meat/fish/chx is so juicy when it comes out of the cooker the first time, wrapping in foil and re-heating it in the cooker still yeilds a moist piece of meat, not like what happens when reheating in the microwave or regular ovenfoods originally cooked in the oven or microwave.

I was concerned that it would be a real drag to clean - handling that large Corning glass pot, heavy top. In fact, the unit is not heavy at all, and so the component pieces are each to lift. The glass bottom cleans easily in hot soapy water when needed; sometimes, a wipe-down with a wet paper towel is all that is needed to clean the inside sides. I keep foil on the bottom, so that's easily removed and replaced.

The oven comes with two racks - one that sits close to the bottom, one raised up above the bottom a couple of inches - and a thingie used to lift out hot pans. The racks are easily cleaned. The one that sits closest to the bottom is the one most often used, as higher up brings the meat closer to the heat so it may cook quicker on the outside than inside. If you're cooking something really splattery, you can line the entire bottom with foil, up to within an inch of the brim.

The only complaints I have are mild:

- The instruction booklet is translated from the Japanese and so is uneven, but gives enough info to figure out how to use it. The booklet that came with my friend's had less info than mine, but she solved that by checking a bunch of books on convection oven cooking out of the library. I didn't even do that: you can find such info on the Internet, which is what I did.

- You will have to play around with timing, as the temp you set it at and the volume of food you put in there will affect cooking time. So, your first couple of attempts may be less than you hoped for, but don't give up - it's worth fiddling with until you find the temps and times that suit you.

- In just over a month, the markings around the heat setting and time setting dials has worn off. It doesn't affect my ability to use the oven, but it is cosmetically unappealing, and might make it a little harder for someone to use it who hasn't used it before.

All in all, I am very glad I got it, despite the fact that I still think it looks totally weird.

So, give it a try - you'll like it!
