4.0 out of 5 stars great against allergens, April 8, 2009

I suffer from strong pollen allergies (watery eyes, itchy throat, itchy body, even mild asthma...).
This year has been particularly bad so far, despite a heavy use of anti-allergy medication like benadryl.
Last week I decided to buy this Holmes air purifier, to see if that works. And, surprisingly I must confess, it is actually very efficient against airborne allergens: I placed this unit in my bedroom, and I had no problem sleeping at night. My itchy throat and watery eyes completely disappeared. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.
The only issue I see is that the unit is a bit noisy, but that does not prevent me from sleeping (it's like having a A/C unit on, you get used to the noise). So I recommend this air purifier for people who suffer from pollen allergies.

I got this because of our allergies, but I can't emphasize enough how impressed I am by the incredible reduction of dust in the room. Makes me want one for every room.

4.0 out of 5 stars SMOKE DESTROYER!! And, Pros and Cons, March 6, 2011

Being used in a 20'X30' room.
I am a fairly heavy smoker with kids in the house. I also like to smoke cigars. So, needless to say I spent a lot of time outside until I purchased this. With it set on the lowest setting, on a table next to my chair about 3' from my head, I can still here the TV fine and people sitting right next to me can't smell the smoke if the filters are in good shape. I am so amazed at it's ability to pull smoke out of the air.

PROS:
- Easy to operate and change filters.
- Filters are readily available (for now)
- Quiet on the lowest setting, yet still effective.
- Durable. Motor is still working fine after 3 years of almost constant running.

CONS:
- Initial price and filter replacement costs are relatively high. Ask yourself why you are buying this. If it is for a specific, noticable reason like ridding your house of smoke or dust...it will be worth it because you will see the difference. If you are buying it to get rid of things like allergens or other things you can not SEE, you might find yourself regretting getting it and being caught in the non-ending filter replacement cycle.
- The higher settings are too loud for everyday use, but effective if wanting to quickly rid the room of smoke, etc.
- The filter change lights were "glitchy", coming on and off at almost daily intervals until they stopped working all-together. I suspect the recessed buttons for resetting are too flimsy and the first time we pushed them it caused something to come loose or break. They must be pushed with a pen.
