I reviewed several air purifiers before purchasing the Hamilton Beach 04160 with UV light unit. With all the misleading information on HEPA fitlers, ionic and electrostatic units on the market it can be hard to find exactly what you need. My son has asthma and we all have air borne allergies. Since installation of the unit, in the family room and bed room, the level of dust has decreased and my son has not had an asthmatic attack either. All air purifiers make noise. I give the level of noise a #2 with #1 being very quite. For the price of the unit, price of replacement parts and the quality of performance Hamilton Beach is the one I selected.

Great filter. Amazon just needs to stop increasing the price (a filter should not cost as much as the main unit itself).

After owning several more expensive HEPA filters over the last 10 years, I have been very impressed with the Hamilton Beach TrueAir Air Cleaner. I throughly researched this unit before purchasing and have been very pleased with its capabilities. It's quiet, the filters are easy to change and find, and its automatic function with the UV light works as expected. It was well worth the investment.

Okay so Asthma can't actually be cured but oh my god did it reduce it!!! I no longer have to take medicine every day! I almost never have to use my inhaler! It's sooooo great! It works really well and was super affordable! GREAT PRODUCT!

Although it doesn't mention it, these HEPA replacement filters also fit the Hamilton Beach Air Cleaner Model 04150. I had to email Hamilton Beach to find out, but they were very helpful and responded right away. When the filters arrived from Amazon, I saw that on the box it says "Fits Models 04160, 04161 & 04150."

With our cat and houseful of antiques, we always seem to have dust bunnies floating around. I run this model in our office, under the table which holds the computer. Since placing it there I have noticed the buildup of dust around the modem is almost entirely eliminated. I placed the larger model in our living room and it certainly is doing its job. The regular settings can be louder than expected, but I leave them on the "whisper quiet" setting when we're in that room and I don't even notice them being on. I would definitley recommend the Hamilton Beach air cleaners.

these hepa filters are reasonable unlike most air cleaner filters, work well and keep my room free of allergies and fresh. I am really pleased with how long they last, you only need to replace it once a year.

I had looked at several different air purifiers, both in store and online, before finally choosing this one. I must say I am very pleased with my choice. The price was very reasonable and it definitly exceeded my expectations, considering all the many options in air purification. I noticed a huge difference in the quality of the air in my home the next day. I have always had trouble breathing when I sleep and always clearing my throat throughout the day and after having the air purifier running for just a few days, I have noticed these problems dissapear. It is also interesting watching how it senses things like vacuuming and burning candles polluting the air and adjusts its speed accordingly. Definitly a great buy.

I spent some time searching around, with my criteria being of course cost-effectiveness, low noise, and mostly the ability to clean the air effectively. I was initially under the impression that the replacement filters would save me a lot *(over previously systems I had owned), but that was not the most important selling point. I am now shopping for filters, and realizing that it is a two-step process... getting both the carbon screen and the entire filter. While I am shopping around for the best deal, I am planning to meanwhile just use the vacumn to prolong the life of the existing carbon screen and filter.... seems to be ok to do. I highly recommend this product.... GREAT UNIT !

Recently bought a replacement filter for a Hamilton Beach 04161 that has worked perfectly for the last 3 years. The new filter produces filtered air filled with a strong musty smell similar to a wet dog. I returned the filter and got another replacement with exactly the same problem. If I leave the unit running, the room is soon full of the bad odor. This doesn't happen with the old filter or if I run the air purifier with just the carbon pre-filter inside. I am ready to give up on this thing!

I have 2 of these air cleaners and have ordered many of these replacement filters over the years with no problems. The last one I ordered emitted a bad odor, similar to dead fish. The room soon filled with the smell. I swapped out the new filter for the filter in my other air cleaner and the smell went away. It is definitely this new filter. Returning it today.
