Amazon.com Product Description
As most allergy sufferers know, the home poses as great a threat of itchy eyes and running noses as the great outdoors. Airborne particles from dust, tobacco smoke, and mold spores provide plenty of discomfort indoors. Luckily the allergy-inflicted populace can actively combat these indoor irritants by regularly vacuuming carpets, dusting, and using an air purifier or allergen remover, like this model from Holmes. With HEPA filtration, the allergen remover elminates 99.97 percent of airborne allergens, as small as .3 microns. The appliance also fights unseemly odors with an absorbant carbon filter.
The allergen remover features an understated design that adapts for upright or side placement. It fits nicely against a wall or into a corner, though it is small enough to rest on tabletops too. CADR-rated, the allergen remover accommodates medium rooms up to 256 square feet in area. A GE motor powers the allergen remover and four speed settings enable output options for the room's needs. The digital panel displays a timer for preset intervals of operation. An electronic filter monitor indicates when filters need replacement. This model uses Holmes filter models HAPF60PDQ-U and HAPF600PDQ-U for allergen and odor protection. As with any electrical appliance, read all manufacturer guidelines with care prior to use. Holmes covers this item with a limited 5-year warranty. The air purifier measures 15-1/2 by 16-1/2 by 8 inches and weighs 17 pounds upon shipping.

Works just as described, but be sure to budget for filter replacements.,

This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
I bought one of these because my wife, daughter, and I had stayed with a smoker relative while waiting to move into our own home. Fortunately, our bedrooms were on the lower "non-smoking" level, so this filter had a fighting chance against the tobacco smoke that made it through the central air/heating system. In addition, the basement had flooded years ago, and although there were no visible signs of mold, the HEPA filter sure couldn't hurt. We ran this thing constantly and there is NO QUESTION that this filter made a substantial difference in air quality over what we experienced the first few days. The filters were downright nasty in just a few months.
Be sure to budget for the filters, which are going to run you 50 dollars for the HEPA filters (2x25), plus about 3 bucks each for two carbon filters. Obviously, the life of the filter will be based on the dirtiness of your air and/or how much you run the unit.

Holmes Hepa Air Cleaner,
By sam (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
I really like this air cleaner. I have used several other models (sharper image, honeywell, etc.) and this is my favorite. I usually use level 1 at night, and level 2 during the day when I am home. Levels 3 and 4 are a bit loud. I like that I can program it to run for a certain amount of time and not have to worry about turning it off. On really hot days, i will actually program it to run for a few hours to keep the house cool for my pets.

Do you need this for allergies? in particular CAT DANDER?,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
I have mild allergies to kitties/cats, that is to say i can play with one intensely (kissing, hugging etc) for about 15 min before i start sneezing and if i continue i will surely regret it. Knowing this i still took in a Kittie and love him very much but after a few months my air was saturated with allergens and it started creating serious health problems for me. Eventually i had to make a trip to the hospital from waking up so wheezy from the allergy triggered asthma that it could have ended it all right there. So i was told by the doctor that unless i have a death wish, get rid of the cat. Having grown found of my new roommate i refused. The reality is if i can rid my room of allergen saturated air i can absolutely keep him. I know this because my allergies generally are triggered from extended direct interaction with one not merely being near one, my allergy is not THAT bad. I have a small room and after about two months of living with my kittie it was so saturated with cat dander and i noticed my sinus were never clean, i was never be able to breathe easy and clearly anymore. I would even started waking up in the middle of the night from gasping as if someone had held my mouth and nose shut. For me it was essential that i use a TRUE Hepa filter and not just something the clears dust for example.
I was not sure what model to get but i eventually chose this one. So what is my review? its AMAZING lol. Just the third night of running this full time i woke up with a clear nose and clear sinuses and didn't have Asthma during exercise anymore which was beginning to happen as a consequence of the contaminated air i was constantly breathing. My lung capacity, ability to breathe was shot. This fixed everything! I can now run with minimal notice that i live with a cat and i can breathe full deep air with the use of my NOSE again while at home. My room is about 100sq feet right now, pretty small, this particular model works wonders in here. I can breathe again, you have no idea how amazing it feels to have my respiratory health back. So, if you are getting this for cat dander i am here to say it works! i can now keep my cuddly and not die from it lol. I am a very happy costumer, could it do a better job? perhaps, i do notice that if i turn if off for a day or even just slightly more than half a day i do notice symptoms returning but not too quickly, i can tell they will be back in two days of not running it. I am not sure if the air should stay clean for days after cleaning the air but in anycase... as long as its on, i'm golden. I highly recommend it for a cat relief and Actually i have a friend that could no loger stand to visit due to his allergies and he doesnt not notice i even have a cat now that i got this, score. Welcome back, dear friends with allergies!
