VENTA AIRWASHER LW24 Air Humidifier and Purifier All-in-one Review

At low speed you won't even know it's on and it's still quiet at med. and high speed too. We normally run it on medium or high speed when the weather is 35 or colder here in New England and turn it down to low if the temperature outside goes up or it's raining out. Doing this keeps the humidity in the house a pretty constant 40-45 per cent. We have a Colonial house and keep the upstairs bedrooms closed so the unit is just taking care of aboout 1100 ft. downstairs. I fill it in the morning and just before bedtime. They only hold a few gallons of water, but what a difference they make. We have had hardly any colds since we bought ours a couple of years ago, and we're not constantly having to put on lip balm or hand lotions like we used to. Your skin will thank you for it. But wait...there's more...hehe...Wait til you empty and clean it like I do every 2 weeks. The water you dump in the sink...unbelieveable what this unit takes out of the air. Remember, it's an air purifier too. It's amazing to see the junk that's in the dirty water. Stuff you would normally be breathing in.

It's light weight and small enough to be unobtrusive. I had a problem with mine the second year...called the company and within 3 days had a replacement part that was a snap to install, free of charge of course. Fantastic 10 year warranty.

Proof of how much we love this unit...the day it broke was a Sunday and dry as a bone...temp in the teens. Within an hour I was home from Bed and Bath with a new unit. Didn't even want to go 3 days without one running. Now we run them both on low speed most of the winter.
Check out their website...commercial buildings all over Europe use them as well as musicians with expensive wooden instruments to protect. Little known product just introduced to the US a couple of years ago. Highly recommended.

I have one of these in my bedroom. It is extremely efficient and completely silent. It gets a bit hot on top, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. It also has a blue light - you can regulate its intensity or simply turn it off. It is a really good product.

Product Description:
Let us introduce you to Airfree the new and clean technology to reduce indoor pollution. Inside Airfree's patented ceramic core 99.99% of all micro-organisms: spores, fungus, bacteria, virus, mold spores, are incinerated at temperatures around 400F (250ºC). That is done without significant heat contribution to the ambient. No living microorganism survives this power.Airfree reduces Ozone whereas ozone generators generate dangerous levels of such harmful gas that destroys lung tissue, triggers respiratory diseases, and corrodes metallic equipment. Some air purifiers, like Hepa filters, must operate fans at high speed to reach their highest purification level. Customers must make sure they can sleep with such noise. Airfree is totally silent.Airfree is the only air purifier manufacturer that publishes full tests clearly indicating its efficiency in tested rooms. Guaranteed airborne microorganism reduction with Airfree as seen in the tests section (link) Customers should ask each air purifier manufacturer for efficiency independent tests (full tests like Airfree has, showing equipment testing procedures, room size, and effective results in the room, not projections). Customers have the right to know average airborne microorganism and mold reduction after an air purifier is placed in the room

Oreck Air Purifier Tabletop XL Professional (Silver) Review

Oreck Air Purifier Tabletop XL Professional
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.

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.

Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier Review

Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
One of the big misconceptions about air Ionizers from reviews below is that people expect them to collect dust inside somewhere and get rid of it that way, where the biggest advantage of the technology is actually reducing dust, polen suspended in the air!The way it works, is that Ionizer releases negatively charged Ions into the air, they attach to dust particles that float around and force them to be "dropped down" onto the more positively charged surfaces such as your floor, shelves etc.Yes, part of them gets trapped inside the unit that you must clean.To evaluate the effectiveness of Ionic Pro performance, you should look on the sunny day in your room and see how much dust you actually have floating in the air and NOT how much dust your TV or book shelves have collected!Dust from the air will be attracted to the floor carpet/wood and still will need to be vacuumed or dusted.Only fan/filter-type air purifiers collect dust inside the filter so you have to replace it. Remember-this technology makes your air inside the room dust free, not claims to collect all the dust inside the unit!
I used the unit for days, and the amount of floating dust is minimal to non existent!

Electrolux EL490A Oxygen3 PlasmaWave HEPA Air Purifier, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this due to my allergies. I run it on turbo when im not at home and med in the room I sleep in. I fully intend on getting another one for the downstairs. It has an odor sensor and remote control. I can tell a difference in the air quality and I have to dust less. The 3 types of filters are prefilter, true hepa filter and plasmawave technology which means it kills bacteria and viruses with an electromagnetic field. I was happy to get such a nice volume filtration unit at a low price. It is light and fairly slim and really pumps the air through.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Electrolux EL490A Oxygen3 PlasmaWave HEPA Air Purifier, Black

Product Description:
Combining a slim, elegant design with powerful performance, this indoor air purifier can accommodate rooms up to 326 square feet, offering a CADR of 210 for smoke, 212 for dust, and 229 for pollen. The unit features three cleaning stages to ensure healthier indoor air. The first stage, carbon filtration, traps large particles, dust, hair, and lint, as well as reduces odors caused by cigarette smoke, cooking, and chemical vapors. The second stage, True HEPA filtration, captures 99.97-percent of airborne pollutants as small as 0.3 microns (300 times smaller that the diameter of human hair), including smoke, dust, and pet dander, and removes them from the air. The third and final stage uses PlasmaWave Technology, which generates both positive and negative ions to create plasma clusters that instantly neutralize viruses, bacteria, chemical vapors, and odors in the air, similar to the way nature cleans the air near a waterfall or just after a thunderstorm.
In addition, the air cleaner provides four fan speeds that ensure efficient operation and can be adjusted automatically or manually. Choose between Sleep mode, which allows for turning the fan down at nighttime, or Auto mode, where sensors automatically monitor odor levels and adjust the fan accordingly. Other highlights include Energy Star certification (uses about the same amount of energy as a 7-watt nightlight light bulb), a filter indicator light that illuminates when the filter needs to be changed, and a remote control with a convenient cradle located on the unit. The air cleaner measures 8-1/2 by 16-2/5 by 21-4/5 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

Hunter 30027 HEPAtech Air Purifier and Ionizer, White Review

Hunter 30027 HEPAtech Air Purifier and Ionizer, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used my air purifier for about three months and love it. I have used and researched many air purifying technologies and have found the only two safe and effective methods to be HEPA and or UV Light units. As previously stated by others in this review the unit is noisy on high setting. However, it has a soothing white noise sound on medium and low. In one of the reviews it was mentioned that this unit did not produce a smell like the Sharper Image products. The smell that they were talking about is actually ozone which is a harmful pollutant and is believed to cause lung problems and even increase chances of lung cancer. That is something not to be taken lightly. The Hunter does not produce that awful stuff.

Product Description:
Designed for room sizes up to 10 by 11 feet, this air purifier changes the air up to six times per hour and provides a clean-air delivery rate of 72 for smoke, 62 for dust, and 65 for pollen.

Its ionizer with a separate on/off switch supplies added purification to help freshen the air. Top-mounted controls make it easy to adjust the fan speed and to turn the ionizer on or off. For ultimate convenience and maximum efficiency, the portable air purifier can be placed virtually anywhere in the home or office, even flush against a wall or in the corner due to its popular slim-line styling. And with its whisper-quiet, three-speed fan, the unit is ideal for use in the bedroom. The air purifier measures approximately 14 by 7-3/4 by 14-1/2 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.

Surround Air Multi-Tech XJ-3000D Air Purifier Review

Surround Air Multi-Tech XJ-3000D Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I started to run this air purifier exactly 52 hours ago, and it has already changed my quality of life.

I have never owned an air purifier before.I have been literally choking on the air in my own apartment during the several months that I have been living here, and I had extremely unrealistic expectations about an air purifier:I imagined posting something like, "Wow!I could feel the difference after two hours!"Well, OK, it took more than two hours!But it happened.

I started it on low fan with the sanitizer disabled.Then I went to medium fan, then I added the sanitizer on low, then I put the fan on high and the sanitizer on medium.I awoke this morning no longer choking on the air and no longer confronted with the aggressive dusty odor with which I had come to associate my apartment.I left it today with the fan on high and the sanitizer on medium and returned tonight to a completely different atmosphere.

I am not afraid of the ozone produced by the sanitizer but if you are you can choose to run it only once in a while or never.

My only concern is that, unlike some other air purifiers, this one does not have a display light that indicates when the HEPA filter is dirty (and this HEPA filter is permanent if you have a hand vac although you can also choose to buy a replacement filter [also readily available through amazon]).Since this is my first air purifier, a dummy light would have been great.But I went for the price.I guess I'll know when the filter needs vacuuming or changing when I sense that the air is once again heavy with particles.

But no negatives.I love this thing.I want to hug it.

Product Description:
This ozone-free filter with an attactive gray casing combines the top five technologies into one unit: air ionizer for particles, HEPA air filter for dust and allergens, germicidal UV light for micro-organisms, activated carbon filter for chemicals, smoke and odors, and an anti-bacterial pre-filter for larger particles.Tests show that true HEPA filters (recommended by the Dept. of Homeland Security) are more effective than any other type of air filter at capturing dust, pollen, ragweed, dust mites, mold spores and other allergens. Germicidal UV light air purification, which destroys micro-ogranisms, is recommended by the U.S. Centers of Disease Control (CDC).Furthermore, according to Penn State Dept. of Aerobiological researchers, carbon filters serve to remove odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemicals that other filters cannot. The Multi-Tech has multiple technologies to remove cigarette smoke and other odors, including the activated carbon filter and ionizer.The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found negative ion air purification (ionizers) to be 99% effective at removing airborne dust & particles.Under normal circumstances, Multi-Tech replacement costs will run just $25 to $50 per year (for replacement filters and UV lamp each year).The Multi-Tech will only add a few dollars or so per month to your power bill.Its powerful fan increases air-cleaning efficiency by effectively moving the air.Even with the fan setting on high, the Multi-Tech is very quiet.The Multi-Tech air purifier has been awarded ETL safety certification and is maitenance free.

IONIC PRO,LLC Therapure 3-Speed HEPA/Photo Catalyst/UV air purifier, 182 sq. ft. room capacity Review

IONIC PRO,LLC Therapure 3-Speed HEPA/Photo Catalyst/UV air purifier, 182 sq. ft. room capacity
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Very reasonable cost.. "I bought two".
It moves air very silently on low and medium to high settings moves a large volume of air and has a very soft and pleasant breeze too.

It can handle frequent door openings as some ion models cannot handle introduction of new "unclean" air into the room without taking a fair amount of time to "reclean" the room.

This handles a large amount of air very quickly when on high and gives off a cool refreshing breeze with a fresh smell.

The Photo catalyst technology is state of the art and the UV technology is great for those who worry about live viruses and bacteria spreading through the family. No filters to replace, but merely vacuum and no blades to replace.

The UV light recommended for killing germs and you have a choice for optional use. If used constantly for about 2 years, the manual recommends replacing to maintain maximum killing power against germs.

For 100 bucks, you can't beat the coverage and "attack on 3 fronts" technologies to keep your room allergen free.
If your room takes allot of abuse from animals, fans, open doors etc.. get this.

If you prefer total silence all the time, I recommend the ION Turbo, but remember its drawbacks as mentioned above.

I don't like the idea of "finding" replacement filters and paying for them as some other models require.... nor do I want to replace blades as the ION turbo requires after about 2 years.

Holmes® HAP412N-U HEPA-Type Mini Tower Air Purifier Review

Holmes® HAP412N-U HEPA-Type Mini Tower Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using this Holmes Air Purifier for several months and can give it my 5 STAR recommendation.

It has 3 speed settings for the fan and a separate switch that turns on the ionizer. At the mid or low setting the fan is nice and quiet. On high it's a bit loud but tolerable for daytime activites. I keep my unit running all the time on the medium setting and also keep the ionizer turned on.

Within a couple of hours of first setting up the unit, I noticed an immediate improvement in the air in my bedroom (12 x 14). It seemed "fresher" and easier to breathe. After a few days my dust allergies were virtually gone and breathing, while I was asleep, was much easier. Before buying it, I would wake up with a stuffy nose and a dry mouth because my nose was plugged and I was forced to breathe through my mouth. (Yuk!)

The black soot commented on by the other reviewer is due to the negatives ions which attach themselves to the smoke particles in the room and make them drop to floor. If you don't smoke it won't be much of a problem. Some minor residue will be found in and around the unit but this comes about because the negative ions make dust and other particulates fall to the floor. A quick wipe or vacuum easily eliminates this problem. Besides, I would rather have them on the floor than floating around in the air, wouldn't you?

The cost of the unit is fabulous (less than $50.00). That sure beatsother ionic units that want more than $300.00! I have owned both and will never go back after trying this one. It's cheap, effective and actually works better than the more expensive, but well known, model.

If it is in the room with you and you are trying to talk or watch tv it is very NICE to be able to turn it down, to hear better without having to turn it off. Don't get me wrong, even the high setting is NOT that noisey. I highly recommend this air cleaner for the price and for the quality.

Honeywell HFD-120-Q Tower HEPAQuiet Air Purifier with Permanent IFD Filter, Black Review

Honeywell HFD-120-Q Tower HEPAQuiet Air Purifier with Permanent IFD Filter, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I decided to get this air cleaner after trying the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze and a larger Honeywell HEPA filter. At the time of purchase, the Sharper Image was the only one with a permanent filter. This was a big plus for me seeing as the older HEPA cleaners have 2 filters to replace, the larger one being nearly the price of the machine. This Honeywell tower has a permanent filter.

There are many claims for and against the Ionic Breeze. I'm still undecided on how effective it is -- but I feel almost the same way about my large HEPA filter. I found myself running both of them to control my allergies. Although I cleaned them regularly and found dust on both, I can't say the air was particularly different. However, shortly after turning this on in the bedroom for the first time, I could smell a difference. I haven't had it long enough to say it's made a real dent in my allergies -- plus the fact that my allergies are intermittant -- but I'm pleased that I even notice it.

One thing to note -- the Amazon description says there is an independently controlled Ionizer. I assumed that meant I could control it independently of the HEPA Unit. If that's the case, I have yet to see how. It's not mentioned anywhere in the tiny booklet and there are no buttons for it. For that reason, I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5. I did want to control the ionizer separately because I wanted to be able shut that off entirely. There are camps on both sides arguing for an against ionizers, and some claim they make breathing worse -- so being able to compare with and without it was something I wanted to try. If anyone else knows how to do it, then post it here. :)

Compared to the larger Honeywell that I own, this one is much more quiet on each of its three settings. When I first read the description I didn't pay attention to the oscillating function. Now, it's my favorite part of this cleaner. The oscillator is the thing that is independent of the cleaner -- and when its on, the machine rotates in place, back and forth, blowing the air in an arc. I like this feature a lot and I think helps with cleaning a larger area. Maybe the ionizer is attached to this feature?

This unit is significantly heavier than the similar looking Ionic Breeze. Also, the manual states it should be placed 3 feet from any wall or furniture. The cord is not that long, and placing the cord behind some furniture to get to an outlet has made it nearly impossible for me to reach a spot a full 3 feet away.

Anyway, so far I am pleased and would recommend this unit to some one who is looking for a compromise between those two types of cleaners.
