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.

Austin Air Allergy Machine Review

Austin Air Allergy Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I live in an apartment and a few months ago I got new neighbors in the apartment below. They smoke constantly and often have parties with 8-10 people in a tiny apartment all smoking all night. The building is old, the smoke comes through not only the ventilation system, but directly through the floors and fills my apartment with the disgusting stench of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS). This unit saved me from having to move. It's that good.
The HEGA filter is particularly good at removing gas molecules and thus odors and ETS. I have allergies, but they're manageable - I bought this primarily for odor and ETS control and to that end, it works perfectly.
It's much quieter than I though possible for something that moves so much air. Even on the highest setting, I can easily sleep in the same room with it. Some may be more sensitive to noise, but it's much quieter than some IQAir models that I've heard. On the lowest setting, it's barely audible.
I keep the unit in a largish living room/dining room/kitchen area in my one bedroom apartment and it cleans the air effectively. When combined with the air circulation of my AC unit, it does a great job of filling the apartment with clean, smoke free air.
The filters are extremely effective and come with a five-year warranty. If you live in a particularly polluted environment and your filter doesn't last five years, Austin Air will give you a discount on a replacement filter proportional to the length of its life. The bonus is, it's for that AND every subsequent filter you purchase. The unit itself also comes with a five-year warranty. Austin Air seems really great about craftsmanship and customer service. They don't make a huge variety of products (like Honeywell or a lot of other electronics manufacturers that offer air cleaners), but what they do, they do right.
If you're suffering from annoying odors, ETS, or allergies, this is the machine for you. It's really made all the difference.

Blueair 601 Air Purification System Review

Blueair 601 Air Purification System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have congestive lung disease and live in an apartment. When a new downstairs neighbor moved in, who is a heavy smoker, the smoke came up through the floorboards and into my place. I was literally choking to death. I tried taping over all the electrical outlets, putting special filers in the vents, and blocking every place I could think of where the fumes were entering. Nothing worked until I got the Blueair 601 with the smoke filters. It turns on automatically every time it "smells" smoke. I know exactly when my neighbor is smoking by when it turns on, but it filters all the smoke from circulating into my place. If it wasn't for the Blueair 601 I would have to move.

*TWO* 3Q ELECTROSTATIC AIR PURIFIER WITH UV LAMP & CHARCOAL FILTER Review

*TWO* 3Q ELECTROSTATIC AIR PURIFIER WITH UV LAMP and CHARCOAL FILTER
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These units were a huge disappointment for me. I purchased 4 of them (2 were for myself and the others were for a family member). I had high hopes and expectations due to the other glowing reviews. Here's why these "air purifiers" get 1 star from me:
1) I've had these units for a little over 3 weeks and one of them has already quit working!! It will not turn on at all. I've checked everything there is to check and it's definitely the unit that has broken. ***Update: ALL 4 of these units have quit working entirely! The first 3 died within the first few weeks/months of being "new" and the other died about one year in. Sad thing is, even after running for that entire year 24/7, the plate rod you're supposed to clean still hadn't picked up hardly anything. They are absolutely worthless pieces of junk. It's not the power cables or anything simple that could be fixed - they just died and it certainly isn't worth having them repaired because they never *really* worked to begin with!***
2) Granted I am someone who keeps up with cleaning the house, you practically have to have a magnifying glass just to see one speck of dirt on the electrostatic plate after having the unit running continuously this whole time (almost 3 weeks). With most air purifiers, you have to clean the rod once every 7-10 days maximum because it should collect so much debris, germs, etc. from the air you breathe. I thought maybe I just got unlucky and received a couple of bad units but it turns out my family member's purifiers are behaving the exact same way. On top of that, hers actually interferes with the television signal so she can't use it in the living room regardless of where she places it.
3) Air purifiers are supposed to help people with allergies breathe easier, right? Apparently not with the 3Q Air Purifiers. This is the main reason I bought these. I suffer from asthma/allergies pretty badly and the doctors recommended purifying the air. It hasn't helped one single bit. In fact, I performed a test just to see what this unit was "sucking in" from the air. I have friends/family that come over and smoke occasionally in my home and I had them blow that smoke directly at the vents on this unit. It didn't even pick up/pull in the smoke! It just continued to drift in the air as if there were no purifiers to be found.
4) The unit feels cheap. It's extremely lightweight plastic that it's made of so it doesn't feel durable at all. It's nice to have a purifier that doesn't weigh a ton for people who can't lift heavy objects but this just feels like you purchased it from the dollar store.
5) They're very small - way too small in my honest opinion. Being compact is one thing but I don't feel a unit of this size could perform well (if at all) in a room that is of average size or bigger. The rooms I had them in were average to large and perhaps that's part of the problem. But nowhere on their product description does it list room size limitations, at least not at the time I purchased my sets.
**A side note regarding another con is that it took a while for the package to arrive. I don't know if it was just delayed shipping from 3Q's facility or UPS' mistake but it was about 2 weeks + getting here. Also, from my personal experience, so called "customer service" from this company leaves a LOT to be desired. They are very unhelpful.
I don't know how effective the UV light really is but it's a nice thought. Its fans are also pretty quiet. Compared to other air purifiers, these are much more inexpensive. However, I think the saying is true often enough: "You get what you pay for." And when something doesn't work - even if you paid much less in comparison, it still seems like an awful lot when you don't have anything to show for it.
So, I don't know what caused the other reviewers' units to work but what I do know is that neither mine or my family member's did. I'm extremely disappointed with both this company and their product. I hope this review helps someone. I wish I had better things to say.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Quite simply a very effective way of filtering the air. I won 2 so I know what I am talking about. I smoke a lot indoors and you will be amazed at how quickly it can clear out a room of cigarette smoke. My wife things I already quit smoking so I smoke when she isnt home. I tried HEPA and Ionizers. HEPA works but I have to keep replacing the filter because cigarette smoke somehow clogs the filter to the point that the filter smells like a cigarette filter. Cigarette smoke is the good test of how good an air filter is. I love it. Try it. It is actually really fun to watch the smoke cloud vanish.

3Q Electrostatic Ionic Air Purifier Review

3Q Electrostatic Ionic Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought one of these about a year and 1/2 ago b/c it was cheaper then Sharper Images but was doubtful it would work well or for very long b/c it was cheaper.
I placed it in my bedroom when I got home from work and let it work it's magic, SILENT magic...it is really quiet!, while I sat in the living room. About 45 minutes later I decided to go check and make sure everything was going as it should. I turned the corner and the smell of fresh cool air hit me. It was SO nice! The only way I could describe the air is to say is smelled like mountain top air with a water fall near by. That's how fresh and clean it smelled.
Now, I'm thinking, "OK, it smells good, but is it really working?" I push a button and pull out the filter, yes, it's THAT easy, and I can see little fuzzies of cat hair (I have two) and dust (I have a lot) clinging to the filter! WOW! It actually was cleaning the air!
I promptly went out and bought them for every room in my house and I couldn't be happier.
There is one thing it does that some my consider bad but I like it. When the metal, re-usable filter is dirty and can't hold anymore, the unit tends to make a rattling sound when you turn it on. Nothing loud but once you wipe off the filter, and it really is easy to clean, it doesn't make the noise anymore.
I will always have these, or this brand, in my house. I run all four of my every night when I go to bed and I've had them for about a year and 1/2 and and they are still going strong! I love them!!!

Honeywell F113C6009 Commercial-Grade Portable Media Air Cleaner Review

Honeywell F113C6009 Commercial-Grade Portable Media Air Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Contrary to Honeywell, this unit "pulses" air from the get-go. That would be with all new filters that came with the unit. From Honeywell's site concerning this unit model, it should only pulse when the filters require changing.
The unit makes quite a bit of noise on low speed, enough to compete with the TV and conversation if placed in the same room. We have it in an unused bedroom, not sure how good it will do there for cleaning air in the rooms we do use.
The image shows that the unit is brown, however we received the more pleasant white color.
I regret the purchase and will be purchasing a whole house filter unit that attaches to the central air unit's air handler.
All that being said, it appears to be cleaning air, so one star off for being excessively loud on low speed.UPDATE 01/10/10: I became used to the sound of the unit fairly quick. It is still noticable, but not too annoying since considering it is doing a job. The unit does clean the air in a 20x20 area very good, no doubt about that. It appears the filters do not require any maintenance for 90 days, and then only light vacumming/blowing now and then before a yearly replacement. Also, this particular unit utilizes a "CPZ canister (that) reduces smoke and odors". I retract my initial review above and rate this a five star product.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Honeywell F113C6009 Commercial-Grade Portable Media Air Cleaner

Designed for rooms up to 17 by 22 feet (with an 8-foot ceiling), this commercial-grade air-filtration system delivers cleaner, more breathable air--great for places like restaurants, bars, schools, offices, daycare centers, and other indoor spaces where people gather. The unit comes equipped with a HEPA filter, which efficiently removes 99.97-percent of airborne particles down to 0.3 micron in size from the air that passes through the filter, including dust-mite allergens, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, dust, soot, and tobacco-smoke particles. In addition to the HEPA filter, the air cleaner also features a Carbon, Potassium Permanganate, and Zeolite (CPZ) canister to reduce annoying odors like tobacco smoke, chemical odors, and strong cooking odors. Air passes through an activated-carbon prefilter first, however, which helps reduce odors and extends the life of the HEPA filter and CPZ canister. The unit provides quiet operation and a three-speed fan/blower with air volumes of 150 cfm at low speed, 225 cfm at medium speed, and 300 cfm at high speed. Other highlights include 360-degree air intake and discharge, six air changes per hour, an 8-foot power cord, durable plastic housing, a lightweight design at just 24 pounds, and a convenient carrying handle for simple transport. UL-listed and CSA-certified, the air cleaner measures 16 by 16 by 14 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.

Sharper Image Ionic Breeze 3.0 Compact Silent Air Purifier (SI397) Review

Sharper Image Ionic Breeze 3.0 Compact Silent Air Purifier (SI397)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this after an informercial. My warrenty was for 3 years. Lucky for me, since 14 months after receiving the unit it died with no warning.
The manufacture made me return it AT MY OWN EXPENSE and then they sent me a new unit. Took 2 months.
Well, the new unit arrived 8 days ago. It died an hour ago. I called the customer service and refused to pay to send it back AGAIN.
They ARE sending me out a new unit (again), but it will take up to 10 business days to receive. They agreed to send a pre-paid shipping label this time too. (Could take a month though.)
Meanwhile, I have nothing. After reading the reviews below, I could have kicked myself. I subscribe to the online version of Consumer Reports so did what another did...looked it up. Consumer Reports says this Ionic Breeze only "removes a few particles from the air", nothing else. They also did the test, as the infomercial showed, of putting the Breeze in an enclosed space with smoke and turned it on. It did NOT do what the infomercial said. It did not "power through smoke". It did nothing.
I am taking the advice of Consumer Reports. I am refunding my money on the Breeze and purchasing "the high-scoring Friedrich C-90A and Whirlpool AP45030HO models" which DOES work...and work well.
Avoid the Ionic Breeze unit, for the home AND/OR the car.

I purchased this as a 'project item' meaning to customize it for my own uses. It arrived exactly as described, and faster than I expected. It is a semi-coarse, self supporting filter media embedded with carbon. It cuts easily with boning shears to fit some obsolete or custom blower units. I use it as a secondary filter after a large particle filter and before a HEPA style filter for a continually dusty area. I feel it works well for my situation.

I was somewhat skeptical since there doesn't seem to be much interest in this product and even a bad review, but for less than $20 it was worth taking a chance. We use ours in the bathroom and it works great. I am now ordering a couple of replacement filters since we have had our unit for over 6 months. For such a small fan, it moves a lot of air and does a fantastic job of removing (and not masking) odor. Highly recommended.

Bionaire BAP1700-U PERMAtech Tower Air Purifier with Timer and Air-Quality Sensor Review

Bionaire BAP1700-U PERMAtech Tower Air Purifier with Timer and Air-Quality Sensor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Doesn't seem like a lot of people have bought this product. I was considering a similar Honeywell model, and after comparing the boxes of both products at Target I went with the Bionaire. I admit my largest reason for going with the Bionaire was that the feature set was about the same as the Honeywell, but the Bionaire was more attractive. With my air purifier that replaced this one, I tried to hide the unit because it was ugly. This unit is looks good and I do not try to hide it at all. Further, the materials seem to be a better quality then the similar Honeywell models (I am going solely on look and feel).
When looking for an air purifier, I wanted a unit where I didn't have to replace any filters. The unit features two large permanent HEPA filters that every three months you clean by vacuuming the filters. There is a reminder light when it is time to do so. There is three speed settings. The lowest setting is very quiet. The highest setting is quite loud. I can sleep to both the low and medium settings. Not so with the high setting.
There is also a timer so after 2, 4, or 6 hours the unit will shut itself off. Another feature is an automatic setting which is supposed to monitor the quality of air and adjust the settings. I am not sure if the unit really does try to sense anything or just goes through a preset routine. I guess it is the preset routine. FInally, there is an ionizer. Some people say this is bad for the air, some say it is good for the air. I really have no idea what is true. I do know that after a while ionizer air seems dryer, which I do not like. This machine allows you to shut the ionizer off or on to suit whatever your take on the issue might be.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the purchase. There might be better units, but they will likely be 1) uglier (subjective I know), and 2) cost more. For disclosure, I have had the product for only two weeks, but I have ran it constantly taking it through the paces.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Bionaire BAP1700-U PERMAtech Tower Air Purifier with Timer and Air-Quality Sensor

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. The unit's PERMAtech filter with HEPA media removes up to 99-percent of airborne particles, as small as two microns, from the air that passes through it for a CADR of 110 for smoke, 110 for dust, and 110 for pollen. To help freshen the air naturally, the unit also offers an optional ionizer, which releases negative ions into the filtered air. The negative ions then connect with positively charged particles to form larger particles that can be more readily picked up by the filter. The permanent filter never needs to be replaced, and it cleans easily with the brush attachment of a household vacuum cleaner. Other highlights include a filter-service indicator that takes the guesswork out of wondering when it's time to clean the filter, a timer that allows for programming the unit to turn on and off at certain times of the day, and a built-in air-quality sensor, which measures the indoor air quality and automatically adjusts the speed as needed for optimal filtration. The air purifier measures 11-1/6 by 8-2/9 by 29-5/8 inches.

Honeywell 21500 Enviracaire True HEPA Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Before ordering a replacement HEPA filter for your Honeywell (or other brand) Air Cleaner, be sure to check the model number on the unit. This filter is for four Enviracare Models (51500, 61500, 11520, and 17200). I replace my HEPA filter every year because I am very allergic to cigarette smoke, pollens, dust, molds, and other allergens and irritants. Honeywell suggests that you replace your HEPA filter every 1-3 years. Also, this HEPA filter has pre-filters which wrap around it, so you may want to order a box of those, too. Honeywell recommends that the pre-filters be changed every 3 months, but I've found if I vacuum them at least once a month, I can keep them longer. I really like my HEPA filters because they remove so much dust and pet hair from the air.

Oreck XL Professional Air Purifier Review

Oreck XL Professional Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I originally reviewed this product I gave it three stars. After using the product for over a year now I would take away two of those stars if I could.
I purchased three Oreck purifiers at the same time and notice very little difference in the air quality in my home.
Things I like:
The "silent" mode is great for sleeping (when the unit isn't popping and snapping). The design is attractive.
Things I don't like:
1) The rapid popping/snapping sound (like a bug zapper) the units make when the cell starts getting dirty. As another reviewer wrote - the rapid popping scared his poor dog so badly that it wet the floor. The noise is VERY annoying. You either clean it right away or turn it off because the snapping persists until something is done. Oreck recommends thorough cell cleaning every two weeks, but between the three units I have to do "quick cleanings" on at least one of them almost every day. Quick cleaning requires pulling the main cell and running a Q-Tip over the wires in front of the collection plates.
2) The Oreck infomercial misrepresents the product; the consumer pays a healthy price for this purifier believing there will be no additional costs associated with the purchase. They advertise "No Filter Replacement" - yet there is an "optional" charcoal odor absorbing filter that does need to be replaced if the unit is used to control odors. The cost of that filter at the Oreck site is $49.99.
According to my local Oreck store, the cell doesn't get real clean if only soaked in soapy water. The "optional" cell cleaner is strongly recommended to optimize the cell performance and extend the cell life. Each can of cell cleaner is $14.99. The local Oreck store recommended cleaning with cell cleaner, soaking in soapy water, and then cleaning again with more cell cleaner.
3) The collection plates in the main cell don't hold a lot of dust, and the odor absorbing filter is too small to catch much. I question how much dust is being pumped back into the air after it is "purified."
*Note: Several reviewers have suggested I use the units in extreme conditions. However, I live in a brand new residence; I don't smoke and have three cats so the operating conditions are far from extreme.
14 MONTH UPDATE:
After using the units for about 14 months, two of the three original machines I purchased died and are happily disposed of. The one remaining unit seems to be working well and actually goes weeks without popping and snapping. I no longer purchase the Oreck cell cleaner, following the advice of another reviewer I now use Clorox Cleanup.
I replaced one of the failed Oreck units with a Honeywell 50250 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier. I replaced the second failed Oreck with the Honeywell 18155 SilentComfort Permanent, True HEPA Air Purifier - this unit is quiet and works so well I purchased two of them. They are all larger floor models that require some space, but they outperform the Oreck units in every way, and are a great value at Amazon. The charcoal pre-filters cost $9.00 to $10.00 to replace and are well worth it when I see the garbage the Honeywell pulls out of the air.

3Q AP04A Twin Pack Electrostrostatic Ionic Air Purifier, Cleaner Review

3Q AP04A Twin Pack Electrostrostatic Ionic Air Purifier, Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought these because my Mother, who was coming to visit, had been having unexplained allergic reactions, and we have two cats. I'm really very skeptical of space-age looking devices that purport to do these tasks that I cannot immediately see or evaluate, but the price was right, so I gave the house a thorough vacuuming and dusting, and turned on these things.
I used both of them in about a 400 square foot area, and they have definitely kept down the dust. The electrostatic traps are usually coated with gunk when I clean them.
And my mother had a cold while she was here. My husband and I are both on immunosuppressive therapy, and neither of us got sick. I cannot positively attribute that to these little air purifiers, but it makes me want to keep them running.
I use them on the low setting and don't notice the noise in the living/dining area. There is a slight hum, so I think how well they would work in a bedroom would depend on what kind of a sleeper you are. If you like a little white noise, these ill be great. If you need utter silence, you should go with something that has no fan.

This little purifier looks good, has three fan speeds, and a "ion" mode that can be turned off. The HEPA filter gets changed every 6 months and costs $20. To get the "lifetime warranty" you need to sign up for a filter delivery program. This may not be too bad if you use the unit all the time, but it is not too clear how to stop the program once initiated. My first unit was noisy, so I requested a replacement. The replacement arrived promptly, and works well. On low fan setting, it is very quiet. Higher settings circulate a LOT of air, and should be good if you have a serious problem.
