Filter works great cannot get replacements, January 18, 2002
This review is from: HOLMES HAP223-UC2 ODOR GRABBER WITH HEPA-TYPE FILTER (Kitchen)
I want to say the actual hepa filter works great. Too bad it takes months to get replacement filters. Ordered mine in November and it's already the middle of January and it's still on back order. Cannot speak directly to a Holmes representative in customer service they seem to have some problems at the present time. If I were to purchase another one, I would order a replacement filter at the time you purchase it and then you may have it when you need it.

bad buy, October 11, 2002
This review is from: HOLMES HAP223-UC2 ODOR GRABBER WITH HEPA-TYPE FILTER (Kitchen)
This machine is noisy and the filters? I can't find them anywhere! If I buy them online, they cost an arm and a leg! So, I've had this thing for about 2 years now, and since the filter only lasted for about a month, it's just been sitting there, collecting dust! So, I guess it's collecting dust in one aspect! In my opinion, it's just not a good buy. I'm going to try one of those Ionic Breeze purifiers now, wish me luck!

Horrible Noisy Machine, February 4, 2002
This review is from: HOLMES HAP223-UC2 ODOR GRABBER WITH HEPA-TYPE FILTER (Kitchen)
This air purifer is a good size for a small room, but all the good ends there. Within days the motor started a loud whinning noise that never stopped. I returned it for another identical unit and that unit also began loud noises within a few days. I finally cut out the GE motor and fan they are so proud of (first thing on the package feature list in large bold font) and replaced it with a panasonic panaflo quiet fan. I also think the filters are too expensive and designed improperly. Almost all other air cleaners have a seperate activated charcoal filter ahead of the hepa filter to keep the "big pieces" from clogging the expensive hepa. This unit has an integrated charcoal behind the hepa, thus having the expensive hepa filter protecting the inexpensive charcoal unit. I make throw away charcoals from Honeywell generic filter stock to go ahead of the hepa for my unit...
