Vornado AQS 500 Air Quality System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had some pretty serious allergy problems since I was little. Up until about month ago they were driving me crazy. I was taking Clariton every morning and still suffering. I was desperate so I picked up the Vornado Air Purifier and the results were instant. When I wake up in the morning I no longer have a stuffy nose and my throat is no longer sore.
I stopped taking Clariton and while I do occasionally have an allergy attack it never happens inside the house.
I would recommend dusting your room first and keeping the windows shut.
This device does what it says for allergy sufferers and keeps a cool breeze throughout a medium sized room. Highly recommended.

Purify the air in your home with the Vornado AQS500, which circulates and filters clean air throughout the entire room (up to 324 square feet) thanks to Vornado's exclusive Vortex Action Technology. It draws air through two high allergen/maximum dust air filters to trap pollen, pet dander, bacteria, mold spores, dust mite debris and smoke particles. The Vortex Action Technology circulates the air in the room, which maximizes its cleaning capability instead of just focusing on the immediate area around the unit. Equipped with LED indicators that display personal settings, the AQS500 features 3 speeds, a timer, and a change filter indicator to aid in the timely replacement of filters (2 filters included). The unit provides 4 air changes in rooms up to 324 square feet; it measures 13-4/5 by 10-2/5 by 24-1/5 inches (WxDxH) and weighs 12 pounds. It's backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
Clean air delivery rate (CADR):
185 Pollen
149 Dust
102 Smoke
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by an air cleaner. Created as a standard to compare the effectiveness of air purifiers. The number rates the volume of air that is filtered by the unit when it is cleaning each of the contaminants from the indoor air.

Holmes HACP7W-UC 7-Inch Clip-On Personal Fan Review

(More customer reviews)This sturdy little fan has been working well for months. One quibble: its two speeds are medium & fast. There is no "slow." Overall, I'm a happy customer.

Maverick Outdoor Grill Fan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This fan is less than OK. Not very powerful. Too expensive. Wish I had thought twice.

It's hard to get a good sear on grilled foods with a billow of smoke in your face. Here's a great way to keep the smoke flowing in the right direction as soon as you open the grill lid. Six inches in diameter and powered by four AAA batteries (included), this handy light features a flexible, 18-inch neck that makes it easy to aim the fan over the grill and blow the smoke away.Energy efficient, batteries typically last for four to five hours of continuous use, or for the whole summer with intermittent operation. The fan clips onto any shelf up to 1 inch thick for easy attachment. A stainless steel housing and mounting clip resists rust for years of reliable use.

Holmes HAP1200-U LifeLong HEPA-Type Tower Air Purifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The previous reviews of this product are pretty accurate.
The issue of the rattling fan is true (I have proven to myself that it is the fan - my first guess is the use of sleeve instead of ball bearings, and the fan may be a bit underpowered to draw the air through the HEPA filters). Right out of the box it didn't have the rattling sound, but after just about 10 hours of running, there it was. Because of this, I would agree that putting it right in a bedroom would not be the thing to do. I don't have it right in the bedroom, and I do have a white noise generator on the headboard, so I don't notice that little rattling noise at night; and during the day it makes no difference to me anyway since I can't really hear it unless I am within about 10 feet of the unit.
I like the ability to turn the ionizer on and off. I use the medium speed setting of the fan, as the high setting does result in noticeably higher fan noise (the rattling seems to stay at about the same level).
I will get a much better feel for how it works as far as "cleaning the air" this winter, as we tend to open doors and windows in the evenings and mornings in the summer; which of course rather defeats the whole purpose of the machine. None the less, we kept the doors and windows closed for about a seven day period, and both I and my wife felt that we did notice some difference in air quality.
Considering the price, the washable pre-filter, and the cleanable HEPA filters, I think the unit is a relatively good value.

With its slim, space-saving tower design, this air purifier offers out-of-the-way placement while effectively delivering cleaner, healthier indoor air to rooms up to 170 square feet (13 by 13 feet). Choose from three speed settings: low for quieter operation, medium for continuous use, or high for poor air-quality conditions. Offering a CADR of 110, the unit's LifeLong filter with HEPA media removes up to 99-percent of airborne particles as small as two microns from the air that passes through it, effectively reducing smoke, dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and other airborne particles that can make a room feel stuffy. To help freshen the air naturally, the unit also offers an optional ionizer, which releases negative ions into the filtered air. The negative ions connect with positively charged particles to form larger particles that can be more readily picked up by the filter. The permanent LifeLong filter never needs to be replaced, and it cleans easily with the brush attachment of a household vacuum cleaner. Even more, the air purifier comes with a washable pre-filter, which helps capture larger particles and extends the life of the HEPA filter. The air purifier measures 11-1/5 by 8-1/2 by 28-8/9 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

FreshAir Surround High-Volume Ionic Air Purifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I bought my FreshAir Surround, I did not think I needed an air purifier. I bought the FreshAir Surround to see if it could improve a sort of dead staleness to the air that seemed worse when the AC was running (which in FL is almost always). I placed my FreshAir Surround in my kitchen on top of the fridge. It is sturdy, compact, and seems well-constructed, and comes with an extra purifier plate and a remote control with the batteries already installed. Right away I noticed that the dead musty smell was completely gone. The first time I unplugged my purifier for its monthly cleaning, I went out and forgot to plug it back in before I left. I was shocked to smell that old unpleasant mustiness again, which by then was very noticeable to me. As soon as I turned my FreshAir Surround back on, the mustiness went away. During the first week I noticed that there was much less dust in the house. Also the air smelled really great and it the whole house seemed cleaner. My guests even commented on the fresh smell of my house and 3 of them separately commended me on my housekeeping skills (now THAT was a first and alone worth the price of the unit). Then I noticed that my chronic problem of dry, scratchy-feeling eyes which I had always attributed to wearing contacts completely vanished within the first week. My dog's eyes too are much clearer and the occasional eye discharge common in all breeds has gone away completely. But perhaps the most dramatic discovery was that any cooking smells vanished almost immediately. I don't know about you but I am not a big fan of the lingering aroma of sauteed onions. With the FreshAir Surround in operation, cooking smells completely vanish in minutes. As I am admittedly not the world's greatest cook, and easily distracted when cooking, things often end up getting burned. Usually the burning smell will alert me to the impending disaster before it is too late, but since I installed the FreshAir Surround, the burning food smells disappear so fast that I don't even have a chance to notice before the damage is done. In fact, you can cut up an onion a few inches away from your face and your eyes do not burn or water a single bit. Here is a great story: One night I was watching TV and talking on the phone, when I decided to make a cup of tea. I turned the burner on high for the teakettle and went back into the TV room to resume my phone conversation. I became immersed in the phone call and completely forgot about the teakettle on the stove. About half an hour later I started hearing a strange metallic pinging noise coming from the kitchen. When I went to investigate I was astounded to see that the tea kettle was so hot it resembled molten lava, and the hard melamine handle had completely liquefied and puddled all over the cooktop. But there was absolutely NO ODOR. My kitchen smelled as fresh as a daisy! So, here's the deal: no more cooking odors but, if you're like me, expect a lot more burnt dinners until you get used to it.
It is important to clean the purifier every month, as recommended. I just take it down (I like that you can disconnect the power cord from the base of the purifier so you don't have to move the fridge to unplug it at the outlet), and then just vacuum the dust off the back and pop the filter cover off to vacuum the inside. There is a message to clean the unit that shows up on the LED screen so you don't forget. I usually run my FreshAir Surround at a fairly low setting (1000) and it takes care of the entire house (2,900 SF). There are about 7 or 8 different levels to choose from and 5 or 6 fan speeds, and I like being able to change the settings of the ionization and fan levels using either the remote control or the control panel on the front of the unit according to my particular needs at the moment. Sometimes, if it's a very muggy day or I have had someone smoking in the house, I use the 1250 setting for half and hour or so until the air becomes fresh again. I have never tried the Away Mode, which is a temporary setting on a timer designed for short-term, intense oxygenation output in severe pollution cases requiring the premises to be unoccupied (people and pets) while this function is in effect. In 11 months of constant use I have never had to replace any filters or bulbs. I am always amazed at how much debris accumulates inside when I clean the purifier every month, and happy that it is in the purifier and not in my lungs.
I have heard people say that it is expensive, but I think that, considering how hard it works and how much area it covers (up to 3,000 SF), this purchase is one of the best investments I have ever made.

Stanley High-Velocity BlowerFan, 655702 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Every once in a while a product comes out and I am simply amazed at how useful it is. I used this fan recently and I can say that this is a great design that is well constructed. Though using this as a room fan works fine (there are three speed settings that allow you to adjust the airflow - the highest speed moves A LOT of air), what makes this fan truly shine is its directional capabilities. The stream of air being pushed by this fan is pretty narrow (focusing the air movement just where you want it) and the up/down swiveling nature of the base means that this thing can be pointed at the exact spot where air is needed (like a wet spot on the carpeting, or your back as you stand at your workbench on a steamy summer evening). The grounded outlets are simply icing on the cake.
I have seen this fan for significantly less at other stores (Menard's), so shop around. Otherwise, I recommend this as a well designed, quality product!

Broan 509 180 CFM 6.5 Sones Through Wall Ventilation Fan, White Square Plastic Grille Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We are renovating our kitchen and did not want to remove the old Nutone through the wall fan but rather to replace with a newer model. This replacement fan was the answer. It is hard wired in and did take a little modification but it did the trick. However, there are some cons about this fan. It is much more powerful than my original fan and therefore much more noisy. However, it does move a lot of air in a short period of time. Secondly, the grille is made out of plastic. This is disappointing because something that is so permanent should be made out of metal that can be painted the same color as your wall. I would gladly have paid a few more dollars for metal versus cheap flimsy plastic. All in all it was a good solution. Incidentally, the reason I purchased this fan is because the original fan has been in the home since it was built (40 years ago). The only reason I replaced it was because of its age and obvious rust from years of use. This goes to show that Nutone made quality products. The price was good and included shipping.

Wein VI-2500 High-Density Ionic Air Purifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit looks like something from the 1960s, but we have noticed a significant difference in the air quality in our home. We have three cats, a dog, smelly soccer gear and we live in a very humid area. I put one unit in the family room and one in the living/dining room. I noticed a difference and my 15-year old commented on the difference and asked for me to put one in the basement.
