Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Recommended for rooms up to 200 square feet, this portable air purifier is equipped with a UV germicidal light to help kill airborne microorganisms and a three-speed fan to continuously circulate air through two filters that remove smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, molds, bacteria, viruses, and odors. Helpful for asthmatics, allergy sufferers, and in a cold or flu patient's room, the purifier contains a true HEPA filter that is at least 99.97 percent effective at trapping airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. There's also a carbon prefilter to reduce odors. A digital readout displays air quality--good, fair, or poor--and the fan can be set to automatically adjust speed according to air-quality needs. One speed setting is called "whisper" for bedrooms and nurseries. Digital indicators show when filters need replacing. Filter replacement is simple: open the front, remove the prefilter and/or HEPA filter, position a new filter(s), and reclose the front. The purifier carries a three-year warranty against defects.

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 04161 TrueAir HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light (Kitchen)
We live in Hawaii and like many people here suffer terribly from allergies, especially when the Kona winds are blowing from the big island, bringing the dreaded "vog" (volcano smog) with them. On top of that, my husband is allergic to our two beloved cats (the cats and I decided to keep him anyway) and I was allergic to his subsequent noisy snoring, so I purchased this item. I must admit I thought it might wind up just being another gadget lying around the house, but I am very pleased to report that it is an extremely useful device that has made our sleep significantly more peaceful and restful. We keep it on automatic most of the time; it's a tad noisy at night if it kicks into high gear, so occasionally we switch it onto whisper quiet before we sleep. I'm so glad we bought it, and I'd recommend it to anyone who suffers from allergies or has pets that they don't want to banish from the house. I also like the streamlined design of the Hamilton Beach model, the others looked too heavy and obtrusive.

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 04161 TrueAir HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light (Kitchen)
I live in Colorado and am afflicted every spring and summer by seasonal allergies, mostly due to airborne dust (we have very dry air) and pollen. My apartment has substandard air conditioning, which forces me to sleep with my window open. In the mornings, I feel as though I've contracted the world's most powerful cold, and it takes a good hour or two for my breathing to return to normal.

Then my Gold Box pops up this little gem of an offer and I buy it, figuring I'll give it a shot. And by golly, it works better than I had expected.

I leave it on all night in my bedroom (which falls within the recommended 200 square foot capability of this unit) with the door closed, and when I wake up in the morning, I am simply amazed at how freely I'm breathing. The air quality in my room is measurably better.

I suppose it could be a little quieter. Normally I sleep with a fan running in order to provide white noise to prevent my raucous neighbors from disturbing me, so I was already used to falling asleep to the sound of a fan in the background. Still, I usually have to run it at the "whisper" level, because the "medium" level can be a bit loud.

It is a fine product that does what it advertises.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Allergy Sufferer, November 22, 2000
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 04161 TrueAir HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light (Kitchen)
This is the perfect air purifier for ANYONE who has allergies. We keep it in our bedroom and you can tell a difference in the air the minute you walk in. This air purifier is so different than all the other models we researched. It has a display that tells me the air quality in my room - I love that! This is the second air purifier I have purchased, and I would recommend this one over the other I have owned.

We have several family members with allergies. I am definitely going to buy one for my baby's room. This would also be a perfect baby shower gift!!
