Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I now have two HEPA air filters, as they are the best for cleaning allergens and bad odors out of the air. This model is a lot sleeker looking than previous ones with a shiny black surface. With my terrible dust allergies, this tower virtually eliminates my sneeze attacked. An added bonus is the whooshing sound it makes, like white noise, which helps to drown out any exterior noises for a better night's sleep.
This model, like most, has the ionizer (this collects particles in the air by bonding them together) and passes them through a triple carbon filter. The first filter is fairly porous black foam that is washable. This version is nice, as it is held in place unlike the loose fitting foam in Holmes HAP716-U True-HEPA 3-Speed Tower Allergen Remover. This collects the big stuff and I do recommend washing it when you see lots of white particles. It only takes a simple wash and a squeeze in the sink. The actual HEPA-type filter is the item that catches 99% of airborne pollutants. These are expensive and only last up to six months, the only real drawback. They can cost anywhere up to a third of the actual machine. I have been able to prolong the life if these by applying the suction end of my vacuum cleaner to the filter and gently rubbing it, thus pulling out particles and dust. You can only get away with this for about a year, but it does help. The filter check indicator light will let you know when it's time for a filter replacement.
Personal experience with this filter is that despite the three speeds, I only use the lesser one at night. On the rare occasion when I burn something in the kitchen or when the cats litter box is a little stinky, I can turn this on the highest setting and virtually eliminate the smell in a matter of minutes. This beats opening windows. Given that my place is about 950 square feet, this air filter can take care of about one -third of my condominium.For filter replacements, you can buy online through Holmes or Amazon.com. Stores rarely have the right filters and you can save yourself a trip. Be sure to check the prices.
