Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This little electric air cleaner freshens air in a room and eliminates the need for heavy odor-masking fragrances by drawing in unpleasant odors with a quiet fan and then trapping and neutralizing them in a carbon filter. It's perfect for pet, tobacco, kitchen, bathroom, workshop, and other odors. The cleaner measures 8-1/2 inches high by 6-1/2 inches wide by 3-3/4 inches deep and plugs into a standard 120-volt wall socket. It has an on/off switch with an indicator light that shows when the unit is working. Three all-purpose filters accompany the unit. Each filter lasts about four months, and there's a dial on the cleaner's top that can be set to the month when a new filter will be needed. Hamilton Beach also offers filters specifically designed for tobacco and pet odors. These can be ordered separately, but they're not included with the unit. --Fred Brack

Good, but not a wonder product,
By Myatu (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 04255 TrueAir Plug-Mount Odor Eliminator with Two Bonus Filters (Kitchen)
I've got 2 dogs (a Collie-Retriever mix and a pedigree Poodle), 3 cats and an Iguana (I got more pets, but they swim...). While I'm very persitent in keeping the house fresh and clean, you simply can't avoid some of the pet smells, which is the reason I bought this product. The product works quite well, very well considering its size and price. However, you shouldn't expect miracles, unless you install one in each outlet of your house. The pet smell (and smoke smell - I smoke too, forgive me for that) is certainly not as noticable as without this product, but is not eliminated 100%. But you do notice it within a few hours (and obviously continuosly after that if you keep it on 24/7). The noise level is considerable - it's not ultra-quiet, but it's not too noisy to distract or be annoyed. The filters are also inexpensive and fairly common in retail stores, perhaps even your local supermarket (as is the case in my area). Given that each filter lasts 120 days under continuous use, or up to 4 months when used "as needed", this is a good thing for those that mind their budgets. For this price and its compact size, the product is well worth it! But if you need every odor removed from your house, consider buying a larger (and more expensive) air purifier.

An Oder Eater,

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 04255 TrueAir Plug-Mount Odor Eliminator with Two Bonus Filters (Kitchen)
The Hamilton Beach 04255 TrueAir Plug-Mount Odor Eliminator is a terrific little product that does a great deal of work. Plug it in, turn it on, and in just a few hours you will find that the area around it smells a lot better.Don't expect a complete odor elimination from this product. For that, you would need to buy a unit that is at least 20 times more expensive than what this one sells for. The instructions clearly state that this Hamilton Beach Odor Eliminator does not eliminate all smells and that it only works on odors that are within a six foot range of the unit. And it does just that. Let me give you a good example: About once a week I cook bacon for myself for breakfast. Unfortunately, my kitchen ends up smelling like bacon for two to three days after that. When I got my Odor Eliminator, I plugged it into a kitchen outlet and proceeded to cook some bacon. When I came home from work several hours later there was only a faint smell of bacon left in my kitchen, much, much less than what would have been there had I not plugged in the Odor Eliminator. Though not noise free, the Odor Eliminator is relatively quiet. During the day you will hardly notice it at all, since most any other noise inside or ouside your house will cover it up. At night you will hear it more just because there is less other noise to cover it up. But it has never kept me awake or disturbed me while reading. This Hamilton Beach Odor Eliminator is a terrific buy, especially since replacement filters are inexpensive and only have to be replaced every 2 to 4 months (depending on amount of use). If you have a big house, you could easily buy two or three of these and spend a lot less keeping your house smelling clean than if you paid hundreds of dollars for one of those bigger units.

Great odor eliminator,
By "casualcook" (Richmond, Va United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 04255 TrueAir Plug-Mount Odor Eliminator with Two Bonus Filters (Kitchen)
What a neat idea. I put my TrueAir in a room that seems to always have its own unique smells. Within a very short time, the smell was gone. It works so well for the bathroom, I bought one for another room as well. I used to use the sprays, but no more. This item is highly recommended.
