Air Purifiers Reviews

Shortly after adopting a cat from a local humane society, my son developed asthma as a direct result of an undiagnosed cat allergy. An allergist advised us to remove the cat from our home (some friends adopted it) and as much of the cat hair and dander as we possibly could. I did some online research and decided that an indoor air purifier would probably help us out and relieve my son's asthma and allergy symptoms. I purchased this Hunter air purifier #30067 and model #30251 also made by Hunter and placed this one in my son's room and the other one in the kitchen. Within about an hour of plugging the air purifiers in, my son's itchy/red eyes and sneezing and coughing were almost gone. On two different occasions, my older son turned the purifiers off and within a short time, my allergic son's symptoms returned!! These two units have been wonderful for my son's allergies. I have had the purifiers for about a month and I just cleaned the pre-filters with the vacuum cleaner. I was amazed at the amount of dust and cat hair I could see on the pre-filter. The replaceable filters are looking a little gray in color, but I don't think they need replacing just yet. I have found several online companies that stock the replacement filters. My only complaints with the air purifiers are that they are a little loud. You will get used to the sound after awhile. And, I am having trouble figuring out what replacement filters to buy. This isn't real clear. But other than these two minor complaints, I am very pleased with the price of both Hunter air purifiers and the job they are doing in easing my son's troublesome allergy/asthma symptoms. I would highly recommend this product!

The usual expedient delivery from Amazon left me with this product sitting in a box for a couple of days before I had rearranged the furniture to place it where I'd intended. The effect is dramatic - this system cleans the air quickly and very effectively even on the lowest setting. Fortunately, it has three different speeds - the highest speed is rather loud, and I recommend turning it down before bedtime. This is by far the best air purifier I've ever owned.

I use this in my main game room, replacing an older Bemis product that I was unhappy with. I loved it so much, I bought it for my bedroom and one for my child's room! Probably one of the best air purifier's on the market.

This filter fits the discontinued Honeywell Air Cleaner (Enviracare) model 63500.

I bought this and put it in one of our rooms for a couple of hours then I brought in my AMPROBE and another guage and found that this one was off by 20% with humidity and 1.2 degrees.

Also, the company that it comes from wanted a 10% restocking fee.

The 'Power of Suggestion' and extensive marketing can convince people of almost anything. These things have been proven in test after test to be all but worthless. This has also been shown in court. Try any Google search hit and prove it to yourself. The latest quote from Consumers Union (Consumers Reports) "The bottom line: The Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Professional with OzoneGuard does little to clean the air. If you own one, try returning it for a refund."
Instead, buy any decent AC filter for $15 and change it once a month.

I bought my first Ionic Breeze five years ago. At that time I had a tabby cat and a good friend who was allergic to cats. My friend couldn't be in the apartment for more than a few minutes without sneezing and his eyes itching. After running the Ionic Breeze for a week, he no longer had a problem visiting and staying for dinner. I was amazed and have been a fan ever since.

I've since added two more of the newer Ionic Breezes to my apartment. One in my bedroom and one in my walk in closet. I keep a hamper in there for laundry (including gyn clohes) and it keeps everything smelling fresh even if I don't get the laundry done as soon as I like.

The Ionic Breeze keeps the air fresh (I live in a city on a busy corner) and I no longer need my allergy pills at night.

Cleaning in the sink is easy but I do recommend getting the extra grids so you can still use your Ionic Breeze while the grids are drying. I have had some trouble with noise but it went away once I thoroughly cleaned the unit.

I've heard the talk about Ozone with these but it doesn't seem to be an issue since the new one's have something called Ozone Guard that turns the Ozone back to oxegyn anyway.

Overall this is a really great product and one I highly recommend.
