Honeywell HFR-11 Pure HEPA Permanent Replacement Filter Review

Honeywell HFR-11 Pure HEPA Permanent Replacement Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The "Features:" and "Product Discription" do not list the correct Honeywell air cleaner model numbers that use this filter. Here is the "Replacement Filter Table" on the box of the HRF-11. The first number is the Air Purifier series followed by the # of filters required in parenthesis. The last, right number is for the HEPA filter model # it replaces:
10500 (2) 20500
10590 (1) 20590
17000 (2) 20500
50100 (1) 20590
As another reviewer has already noted, this is not really a 'permanent' filter because it must be replaced every 3-5 years under normal use, just like the non-permanent filter that originally came with the air cleaner.
I'm giving it 4 stars for two reasons: 1. Because I really do not find a difference in the way this works yet compared to the filter that came with my 17000; and 2. My machine requires two of these so the air actually goes through less HEPA material than the one-piece filter that came with the machine [casing and spacer where HEPA material would be if a one piece filter]. Only time will tell if I have to replace this sooner than I would for a one piece filter (yearly) due to it's usage in a room with a wood stove.

Biozone air Purifier Standard Units for 2000 sq. ft. Room Space Review

Biozone air Purifier Standard Units for 2000 sq. ft. Room Space
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've had the biozone 2000 for a couple of days, and it is a completely different animal than the two Whispure HEPA air purifiers in our home. It does not filter that air, but rather it appears to fundamentally affect its composition. As soon as you turn it on (it's runs almost totally silent), your nose will pick up a faint smell of ozone. And VERY fresh air coming from the vents. It's a powerful little machine: we put it in the room where the litterbox for our cats are, and it wiped out all smell in about 15 minutes. Even on its lowest speed, you can feel its effect all over our 1500 sq ft. house. The only downside is that it does leave a faint ozone trace in the air, and at high speeds a metallic odor. So, we run it on its lowest speed. But I highly recommend the biozone - it's no toy, but a serious air cleaner. Great for a pet room or any other space that has odor. But don't buy one that is too large - it can far exceed your needs. If you have 500 sq feet of need, buy the Biozone 500, not the 1000 or 2000. Our unit may be overkill for our house. But boy, does it work!

This was a real let down. I know I paid little for it but what the hell the product works great for making the car smell clean. The function it was made for does its job well enough. But putting one of those annoying Rainbow LEDs in it is not needed. I wasn't looking for a flea-market novelty. I'm sorry i know i give allot of rides to people but my truck is not the magic school bus. on an Added note i live in a bit of a shady hood so I have to take it out at night cause it acts like a rainbow bug zapper and attracts all the insects if you catch my drift. Which doesn't really help make the truck smell good. it's just annoying i wouldn't recommended itEdit: ya it only good for a annoying light now didn't last 2 days

NewAir AF-330 Portable Evaporative Swamp Air Cooler with Built-In HEPA Air Purifier Review

NewAir AF-330 Portable Evaporative Swamp Air Cooler with Built-In HEPA Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The AF-330 NewAir Evaporative Swamp Cooler with Special HEPA Air Purifier is a pretty good swamp cooler with just a couple of flaws. As with all swamp coolers, it isn't going to make your room feel air conditioned, but in dry climates, it is good to sleep with it blowing over you, or it is good to get raise the humidity levels somewhat. Now for the good stuff first about this unit.
For starters, the 13-liter water tank means that you won't have to fill it as often. Most portable swamp coolers I've owned only had a 10-liter tank which means they don't last more than 8-hours on "cool." There's also an ice tray to add ice for additional cooling effect.
Next on the plus list are the air filter system. In addition to the standard foam filter, it comes with a HEPA filter and a carbon filter. Combined with the ION setting, this really seemed to make an improvement in air quallity. After a month of use, I haven't noticed the normal "swamp stench" that swamp coolers usually get. I don't know if those filters are the reason or not, but there you go.
The fan is much more powerful than any previous portable swamp cooler I've owned. Even at the low setting, the fan works pretty good when sleeping in front of it.
The controls are pretty standard. You get the 1-8 hour timer, oscillating louver control, 3 fan speeds, "cool" function (to activate the swamp cooler function), and ION control. The unit comes with a handy remote control which handles all features, which is great for controling the unit while in bed. ^_^
There were two negatives. The biggest is adding water to the tank. The portable swamp coolers I've owned before have had a convienent port on the side of the unit were one can add a gallon of water to the tank in a few seconds. This unit has no such port. Instead, water has to be added to the top of the unit where a small section is partitioned off from the ice tray to add water. As such, it only holds a small amount of water and the drain into the tank isn't very large. So it can take a couple of minutes to empty a gallon of water into the tank. That's pretty tedious, especially when you are tired and just want to go to sleep.
The other problem I had was with the documentation. As you note, the product description proudly mentions the carbon filter. The box the unit comes in proudly mentions this. And a carbon filter comes sealed with the unit. Initially, I thought that maybe this was some sort of water filter since I've used carbon filters for fish tanks and for water pitchers. However, there is NOTHING in the documentation that says anything about the carbon filter. The regular foam air filter and the HEPA filter are mentioned, but that's it. Since it didn't seem to obviously go into the water tank (that is a bit of a pain to get to) and it did fit the back panel where the air filters are, I put it back there. But does it go before or after the HEPA filter? Some documentation would have been nice.
The final negative about the unit is purchasing replacement filters. I found none on Amazon's site. Air & Water, the company from which the unit actually came, has a website, and while ordering the unit directly from them gives you the option to purchase additional filters, their website has no place to just purchase replacement filters. That's pretty stupid if you ask me.
Bottom line: There are many good things about this swamp cooler to include the HEPA filter, carbon filter, larger water tank, ION feature, and greater fan power. The lack of a good water input port, no information about the carbon filter, and a lack of ease to aquire replacement filters weren't enough to stop me from giving this an overall "buy" recommendation.

Deluxe Ultrasonic Humidifier + Ionizer Air Purifier Review

Deluxe Ultrasonic Humidifier + Ionizer Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used this humidifier for about 5 years. I purchased mine on eBay and I love them. This is my second set. It's great to be able to set it and have it turn off by itself. It also has an ionizer, which I love. You can set the humidity anywhere from 40% to 90% and once it reaches that specific point, it will turn off. It has never created a mist in the room or a white film, like the previous reviewer mentioned. But I add a capfull of humidifier/vaporizer treatment, even though it doesn't need it. I am actually looking to purchase another set and am having trouble finding them. I don't really want to pay $99 for one. I found mine cheaper on eBay, but can't find them now. They do go out eventually, mostly because of the hard water. They tend to run for about two and a half years, but I use mine constantly, literally. It's very dry in Colorado. All in all though, it's a great humidifier.

The filters work fine but once the humidifier itself gets dirty/dusty, it is almost impossible to clean perfectly and therefore the filter indicator always considers that the filter needs to be changed even though it is new.

I was so excited at the prospect of receiving a product that was going to allow me to be able to sit in meetings where perfume smells, and other odors had always kept me from attending. I had a friend who had used this product and was very happy. My problem with the product that I would like to pass on is the fact I am senistive to whatever is used in the product. As soon as I had it around my neck and switched on the air freshener my throat started to hurt and I had a problem breathing. This product does not offer a refund if you aren't happy with the product and it is very expensive for a senior like me.

Hunter 30067 Hepatech Air Purifier for Medium-Size Rooms Review

Hunter 30067 Hepatech Air Purifier for Medium-Size Rooms
Average Reviews:

(More customer 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!

Soleus Air LX-140, 14,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner, 12,000 BTU Heater, Dehumidifier and Fan Review

Soleus Air LX-140, 14,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner, 12,000 BTU Heater, Dehumidifier and Fan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Soleus LX-140 is actually the third portable AC we had in the household. The fist, a discontinued Hampton Bay model worked well and is still operating in a second bedroom. The next, the Sunpentown WA-1010e, was terrible, could only cool the room by about 4 degrees, and broke after a year.
On to the Soleus. The most important thing in a portable AC is obviously cooling ability, and the Soleus lives up to its claims of being one of the more powerful units available. At 14,000 BTU, it has proven capable of getting my 150 sq ft bedroom down to 70 degrees on hot nights, and on sweltering summer days when it's in the upper 90's, it can drop the temp around 15 - 20 degrees if we completely shut out any sunlight and leave the unit runnign on high. This may not seem like a huge drop, but it's about the best one can expect from a portable unit. It is also capable of cooling our larger 300 sq ft master suite, although it maxes out at about a 15 degree drop when it's hot and sunny. Unlike most of the other portable ACs we have looked at and used, this one does produce a steady stream of pretty cold air, and while it is massively huger and more expensive than window units, it rivals them in cooling capacity.
Features - The unit has three fan speeds on all the settings and includes a dehumidifier and heater mode in addition to AC and fan. There is temperature control on the main unit that allows you to select anywhere between 61 and 95 degrees, which is a nice feature since some portable ACs just run and run until you are freezing in the middle of the night. If you set the Soleus to 71 degrees, it will run in AC mode until the room cools down, then it will switch to fan mode until the room warms up again. This is a nice feature that not all portable ACs have. There is a timer setting that can be accessed from the main unit, and allows you to run the unit for a specified number of hours. See the remote control section below for info on the 'time of day' timer. It's not the quietest unit in the world, but most of the noise is a result of the air being pushed through the unit rather than the annoying refrigerator noise you get from some. Light sleepers might not like it, but it drowns out the noisy neighbors with its rather non-offensive white noise. It could also stand to have better circulation features. There is a 'swing' mode on the remote that makes the vent rotate in an up and down direction, but it does not move side to side and the up-down differential is not all that huge.
Exhaust and drainage - The unit comes with two 6 ft plastic hoses that need to be stuck out a window so that it can exhaust the hot air. The dual hose method is supposed to make the unit work a lot better, and between the dual hoses and the high power of the unit it seems to perform superior to any other unit we have looked at. The hoses are a bit wide and cumbersome and could stand to be insulated, but they do the job. While the manufacturer claims the unit does not usually need to be drained, I find their statistics a little optimistic. While I don't need to drain it when I am using it at night to drop the temp from 80 to 70, on really hot and humid days the water reservoir will fill up and need to be emptied every 2 days. Unfortunately, a big design flaw is that there is no automatic shut off on the unit. While the 'drain unit' light will come on in plenty of time, if you ignore it for more than a couple hours the water will start to seep out the bottom of the unit and it will just keep running. I did this once overnight and woke up to find about a gallon of watter puddling on the hard wood floor with all the electrical cords lying in it - not the safest of situations. A second design flaw is that the drain is on the very bottom rear of the unit. If you place it on the floor, only a very very shallow pan can catch the water. There is a rubber hose that comes with the unit that can be used to drain the water either out a window or into a bucket, although either option feels a little poor white trash to me.
Power - At 1500 watts, the unit is a bit of a power hog. All AC units are, and when it's 110 degrees outside the electricity expense is well worth it. However, it should be noted that many circuit breakers and fuse boxes can be overloaded when you throw this unit on with a bunch of other stuff. We had to find a plug on a breaker that was separate from our other main electronics, because running this unit, a tv, stereo and computer all on one breaker was not going to work.
Portability - The unit is moderately heavy, although it does have wheels to make portability a little easier. The photos in the ads hide that it is a little deeper than you might think, and it's foot print is a rather large 20 x 20 inches. There are two exhaust hoses that reach about 6 ft in length, so it needs to be right under or right next to a window. We purchased a small table at Ikea for it to sit on so that the hoses extend straight into the window, which helps cooling capacity greatly since the primary exhaust hose is where all the heat from the room goes, and it can get rather warm. Extanding it to its full 6 feet greatly reduces the colling capacity of the unit, since that's like having a long tubular heater in the room. Better insulated exhaust hoses should be at the top of every portable AC designers list, but none of them seem to have them.

The remote that comes with the unit is so-so. It allows you to access most of the functions, although you need to point it straight at the unit or it will not pick up the signal. Even when the unit does communicate with the remote, it doesn't function 100% properly. For example, if I press 'mode' to switch from AC to fan, the unit will beep to tell me it received the signal. However, it may switch from AC to fan like I asked, or it may stay on AC, or it may switch to heater. Unfortunately you can't tell without looking at the top of the unit. There is also a timer setting on the remote that supposedly lets you program what time of day you want the unit to switch on, probably so you can come home to a cool room after work. This does not work all that well, since you have to remember to point the remote at the unit before leaving and hope it actually turns the unit on when it's supposed to. There is no clock or time of day setting on the main unit at all, so for this feature you have to depend on the remote 100%. The remote is not backlit, so it is hard to see at night.
Overall, the unit gets an A for cooling, a B+ for features, and a C- for remote control. Since my primary objective was to cool a room and getting around the difficulties with the remote is relatively simple, I would indeed recommend this to anyone looking to cool a 200 - 400 sq ft room.

Unistar 4-in-1 Swamp Cooler with Ionic Air Purifier, DF268. Review

Unistar 4-in-1 Swamp Cooler with Ionic Air Purifier, DF268.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
pros:
- saves you in energy bills since it can cool the room instead of using the ac
- filters are washable
- the included remote gives you controls even in bed
- the 30 min interval timer feature is great specially when it gets too cold at night
cons:
- the ionizer feature is more of a display light than anything
- needs a weekly maintenance. water mineral builds up at the bottom, if you let it sit for more than a week, taking it out posts a problem.
- if you even find the time to actually clean the insides of the fan and and take out the dusts and water deposits, it would take a lot of patients since the machine wasn't designed for easy disassemble. (you'll need a thin long screw driver to take out some of the screws.)
bottom line:
machine is great as an alternative humidifier and room fan. It is a high maintenance machine make sure you clean it every week or two.

IQAir GC MultiGas Control Air Purifier for Tobacco Smoke control, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Wide Spectrum Gas filtration Review

IQAir GC MultiGas Control Air Purifier for Tobacco Smoke control, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Wide Spectrum Gas filtration
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a lot of sensitivity to smoke. I live in a development with a lot of fireplaces. These days people use fireplaces to save money on high fuel bills. Fireplace smoke is just about the worst irritant for me. I have 2 of these machines if I fire them up they work for me. No other machine I have owned have worked as well. They cost but they work. I can be inhaler free if I choose to. The machine costs less then steroids do plus no side effects. If you know your neighbors fireplace bothers you this is worth a try. I went back and looked at the older review of one star the buyer states he got 4 charcoal filters for 1200 bucks. This review is not accurate. The filters contain far more chemical then charcoal. I know because I built my own charcoal/carbon filters from activated charcoal. While my activated charcoal filters help with fireplace smoke they are not good enough. Unfortunately if you have chemical sensitivities to air charcoal alone will not do the trick. Charcoal/carbon and hepa filter is also not good enough. Personally I look to buy these used on e b a y . I then put new filters in them from amazon. Saves some money. It is nice to wake up in the morning and breath in clean air. It is nice to feel open clear lungs. Later this week I will try to find the other chemicals used in these filters.

Ion-Care IC2115 Desktop-and-Car Air Purifier and Ionizer Review

Ion-Care IC2115 Desktop-and-Car Air Purifier and Ionizer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This item worked ok, i had it turned on 24/7 for several months. I believe mine was purchased from ebay though. It pushed out some very nice scented air with the included aroma beads. Very loud on the Hi setting, but that can be expected. Very quiet on the Low setting. It does a decent job, but don't expect too much out of this little thing.
After a few months, the unit developed a loud whistling sound... it would go away if i shut it off for a little while. Then the whistle started to stay, and it never went away. About a month or so after that, i didn't hear the sound anymore... it turns out the unit was dead.
If i ever buy some of those long skinny screw drivers, i'll open it up and take a look inside. None of my screw drivers can fit in the system right now.
Overall, it was a decent item. I wouldn't recommend it if you need something that's going to be on 24/7.

Ideal for in the car or on the desktop, this personal air purifier and ionizer cleans, sterilizes, and refreshes the air. The unit's negative ionizer generates millions of negative ions (more than 1,000,000 ions/cm3) to remove airborne contaminants and create a more natural and healthy environment, while its high-performance two-speed fan silently helps purify the air by thoroughly dispersing the negative ions. In addition, the air purifier's 3M Filtrete micro-particle air filter captures pollen, dust, and dirt, and its activated carbon filter absorbs smokes, harmful gases, and offensive odors. The optional fragrance dispenser can be used to emit fragrance for enriched purified and ionized air. The unit operates on an a/c plug-in or a car accessory outlet (both included). Four extra 3M Filtrete filters, two extra carbon filters, and aroma beads are also included. The 3-watt personal air purifier measures 7 by 5 by 2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Air-O-Swiss AOS 7144 Ultrasonic Humidifier Review

Air-O-Swiss AOS 7144 Ultrasonic Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My family and I moved from Southern California (where we slept with the windows open nearly year round for wonderful, well rested sleep) to Phoenix, Arizona (where the humidity hovers at most to 15% in my house according to my hygrometer.) After a month (and before we got the humidifier), my kids (3 and 1) were absolutely suffering. During the night, they were choking and hacking, wheezing and just plugged up. I was no different. Needless to say, our sleep was badly affected. I knew it was the air situation. After 3 nights of researching the different types of humidifiers, I finally settled on buying two Air O Swiss 7144 units (one for each kid's room). Although it was expensive, I buy things for the long haul and figured better to spend up front then have problems with cheaper models down the road. I have since turned it on absolutely every single night for them and the difference is short of miraculous. Here are some points: 1- a full tank lasts two nights running at 8 hours a night with the windows closed and the door nearly shut (about an inch ajar at most)
2- tank is not difficult to fill. I use one 3 gallon water bottle
(normally used for my drinking water dispense) to completely fill up both humidifier units
3- to maximize space and thus get the most water into the humidifier, I removed the demineralization cartridge and use only reverse osmosis drinking water for my unit. I have had ZERO WHITE DUST. The R.O. water is purified enough that there are no remaining minerals to be churned out as white dust. This trick also saves me from having to replace the cartridge. (BTW, our tap water is VERY hard so I didn't want to use it even with the demineralization cartridge because why make the machine work harder than it has to?) R.O. water is perfect and again, NO WHITE DUST AT ALL!!!!
4- It's so quiet, it's ridiculous. I LOVE that.
5- The warm mist feature is perfect. It does not raise the temperature of the room so it's never like a sauna. The air leaving the machine even at warm mist feels somewhat cool (and the first night I kept checking in on the kids to make sure I wasn't freezing them) but the unit actually heats the water to 104 degrees which is just the right temp at maintaining room temp (no moist saunas!!) and/or preventing steam burn to your finger in case a curious little one chooses to wave his/her hand in the mist.
6- I've religiously used the units each night for the last 3 months with absolutely no problem.
7- The buttons don't light up or create distracting glows. Important for me because I wanted the kids' rooms to remain relatively dark as that's what they're used to.
8- There is no leaking or condensation on the unit. The mist is so fine that it evaporates before it touches the little folding dinner tray table that I have each unit placed on. The carpet underneath doesn't feel soggy or anything. It truly produces an ultrafine mist that dissipates almost immediately.
9- I can adjust the flow and humidity to my liking (to get 2 nights' worth of output from one tank, I set it on warm mist at the lowest air flow at 55% humidity)
10- It automatically shuts off when it runs out of water. There is a blinking light that indicates that the machine is on "On" but there's no water. I usually press the off button the after the second night's use. If I forget to press off and fill the tank up on the third night, I noticed that since the machine is technically "on" (even though there's no sound or movement indicating that), as soon as I put the filled tank back on the unit, it immediately starts working on the settings I last set it on.
11- I have yet to use the cool mist (since it's still winter) but I read that it actually helps to maintain (at the very least) or slightly lower the room temp which is convenient in summer months.
All in all, I love this machine. By the way, on a few occasions when my older child needed me to sleep next to him until he fell back asleep (usually a nightmare woke him up), I noticed within 10-15 minutes that my breathing was VERY different in his room where the unit had been running for several hours into the night. No clogged sinuses or difficult inhalation. Once he was appropriately tucked in and I would go back to my room, within 5-10 minutes, my breathing would get adversely affected. That's how dry the air is in our house. So, that's why after 3 months of enjoying how well it's worked in the kids' rooms, my husband and I are looking forward to our own good sleep after just purchasing our 3rd machine.

Paid $100 for this thing. I used the original filter for 2 years straight which was a mistake. When I replaced it with this one the air flow significantly increased.
Change this about once a year and you should be good. don't forget to clean the prefilter every couple of months to extend the longivity of the main filter.
