Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Over time, any household room can get stuffy and dank, especially in the colder months, when windows stay shut for months on end. Anyone with respiratory allergies knows how that stuffiness, which is the result of an increase in airborne particles, can affect the mere act of breathing. Not to mention the odors. The Holmes Odor Grabber Plus can scrub those particles out of the air with a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Particles of dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even smoke larger than 2 microns are caught in the filters tiny screens. And there's an ionizing function that helps even smaller motes clump together, so they're big enough to get filtered out.

The Odor Grabber Plus is designed for a 70-square-foot room, or about 7 by 10 feet. The unit is a compact trapezoid of ivory plastic less than 9 inches tall, easy to place in an unobtrusive corner of the room. There are two control knobs, each with an indicator light--one for the two power settings, and one to turn the ionizer on or off. A manually adjusted dial knob marked with the calendar months serves as a reminder for when the filter will need changing. One replacement filter is included.

The outside of the unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The top air inlet grill can be washed in hot soapy water (not dishwasher-safe); it should be completely dry before being replaced on the unit. The front air outlet can be swept clean with a small, soft brush. The air purifier measures 9 by 6 by 8-1/2 inches. Holmes products include a 3-year warranty and come with detailed operating instructions. --Garland Withers

4.0 out of 5 stars Great filter, but..., October 1, 2004

This small filter did a great job taking care of a litterbox dust and odor problem. It's fairly inexpensive, but keep in mind that the filter is only something like 6" x 4" so it has to be replaced fairly often.
Two replacement filters are required: the HEPA filter ref. HAPF22PDQ-U, and the carbon pre-filter, ref. HAPF220. Unfortunately Amazon no longer carries the HAPF220, so keep that in mind when making your purchase decision. Had I known I would have picked a model for which Amazon carries replacement filters!

5.0 out of 5 stars Big, but good., June 20, 2004

I realized that I had a terrible dust problem in my office, so I bought this thing.

So far I have had it for a couple of days, and it has a noticeable amount of dust on the odor grabber part, so it surely is doing something.
When I opened the box, I was amazed of the sheer size of the thing! Its much bigger than I would ever have expected!
When turned on its lowest setting its very quiet but I noticed when turned on its 2nd and highest setting I was overwhelmed with the noise. Well after having it on for awhile I am used to the noise it makes, I guess its not really that bad.

Well worth your $30 or so American dollars...

Pros: Not too terribly loud, it works...

Cons: The filters cost more than a drunk hooker on a Monday at 12:00AM.....$15+ (a piece)! oh my, well deal with it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Loudest thing ever, February 6, 2006

productreviewer (CA. USA) - See all my reviews

Its advertised as whisper quiet. Well, its not. The instructions say for continuous use choose the high setting. When it is on high it is extremely loud, like a good size table fan on high, at least. There is no way I could sleep with this thing in my room. The low setting is not as bad but still quite loud. For the price it cleans the air well, but describing it as whisper quiet is fraud.
