Whynter Eco Pure Personal Air Purifier, Black (PAF-101-BL)
This works perfect for my car. I have a long commute to work and can't help but question the fumes I brief in twice a day 90 mins each way. It runs silent almost wondering if it works, but the air in my car smells clean for the first time in years. Btw, you need a 12v adaptor if you want to use it in the car. I just used a Medel 12V lighter adaptor which I had handy. Not that it smells like flowers and meadows, but it's the lack of smell that has me impressed.
I checked the filter after about a month and it was not a pretty sight. Maybe it's all in my mind, but I can honestly say I breathe better. It's not cheap, but I think it's worth the price if it does what it's supposed to. If you have a need for one, I would definitely recommend this.

Holmes HAP424-U HEPA-Type Tower Air Purifier Review

I got this filter because I have cats and birds, and before I started using it, I always had a coating of "bird dust" on everything and was concerned about breathing it. I bought it in mid summer, and in early fall, I opened it up to see if the filters were "catching" anything, and sure enough, they were covered with a fine powdery silt, and then I realized that the bird dust that used to cover desks and other surfaces had almost disappeared since I had started using it. I was grateful to know that the machine had been doing its job. Whenever it was on, I did notice a subtle change in air quality...it seemed fresher. I have kept it running almost constantly for three months, and have not had any problems with it.
While it's working, I don't notice the sound that much, especially on the lower setting which is what I usually keep it on. It simply becomes "white noise". The higher setting is definitely louder, so if that's something that bothers a person, it should be kept in mind, but it's a humming, blowing sound, not rattling or harsh.
I can't compare it to other air purifiers because it's the only one I've ever had, but for the price, and for a person on a budget, I think it's done an amazing job. I'd like to get another for a different part of my house.

This unit cleans a surprising amount of filth from the air and is suitable for a small room.
I wish the unit accepted washable filters.
UPDATE Aug. 2010: I have knocked the unit off the shelf onto the carpet several times and it still functions. Still amazed at the amount of particulates it traps.

I use mine in a 10x12 office and enjoy the device. It has several speeds and can run very quietly when needed. Excellent clean air feel and gets rid of odors efficiently.

Holmes® HAP242-UC HEPA-type Desktop Air Purifier Review

HolmesĀ® HAP242-UC HEPA-type Desktop Air Purifier

(More customer reviews)
I've owned mine for about 5 years, and I love it. I was surprised to see so many negative comments from other reviewers. If I may add my two cents to the discussion:
* This machine works great as an air purifier for small/medium bedrooms. It is designed to remove dust and other allergens from the air, and it does so quite well in my opinion. It's not meant to clean the air in the whole house. It's not meant to remove strong odors like stinky pets, dirty diapers, etc. That's what an odor eliminator is for. (I use a Hamilton Beach 04271R TrueAir Plug-Mount Odor Eliminator next to the litter box, and I can't complain.) An odor eliminator contains a carbon filter than neutralizes bad smells. A HEPA air purifier contains a filter of thickly folded fibrous paper that strains tiny particles out of the air. The two devices have completely different purposes and methods.
* Yes, you do have to replace the filter periodically. I run my unit continuously on the low setting and have to replace the filter about once a year. Target usually sells them in two-packs or three-packs for a good price.
* It needs to be wiped down with a damp cloth every couple of weeks because the outer casing gathers dust and lint. In my experience it does NOT, as other users have commented, get filthy. I supposed it might if you never cleaned it. The fact that it attracts dust means it's working.
* It's almost silent on the low setting. Medium is audible but not intrusive. The high setting is almost as loud as a dust buster. I've found the low setting to be sufficient for small bedrooms.
I hope this helps.

Dewalt DPG56-2C Ventilator Smoke High Performance Protective Safety Glasses with Wraparound Frame Review

I wish I'd have thought more before I bought these. They are nice and stylish but they won't fit over prescription glasses, like me, that aren't of the same shape [mine are rectangle]. Otherwise, if one wears contacts, or doesn't need prescription glasses, they're great. I bought a pair of the blue lens ones, but gave them to my brother, after they didn't fit.
(You'd thought I'd learned - wouldn't you?)
