5.0 out of 5 stars BREATHE BETTER AND SPEND LESS, December 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hunter 30378 HEPAtech Programmable Air Purifier with 3-Speed Fan (Kitchen)
I've been running the older version of this air purifier 24 X 7 for over 10 years...maybe 12. It is backed up against a wall in a vaulted-ceiling room between a piano and organ where cats like to play. It takes up very little space and consumes a great deal of dust and hair. The exhaust blows straight up the wall which is perfect for this location. Recently, it began emitting a high-pitch, undulating squeal. I assumed that the sealed bearing on the motor shaft was wearing out. So, I ordered this new Hunter Air Purifier. In the mean time, I placed the old squeaky cleaner on its back and soaked the motor shaft with CRC Heavy Duty silicone spray while turning the shaft with my hand for 5 minutes. That was a month ago and it is still running as smoothly and quietly as new. The new cleaner is still in the box, however, I did test it to make certain that it was in good working order.

How would you like to save a ton of money?

Just like printer companies sell their printers at a bargain and then charge a fortune for the ink cartridges, air-cleaner manufacturers employ the same tactics with their disposable filters. Check their prices. OUCH! $30.00 to $60.00. For years I've been using the same pleated, high-efficiency filters that I use in our central heat and air system. I buy them by the case lot(12), online from ACE Hardware for $4.00 each (free shipping to store) and cut them to fit the Hunter Air Purifier. ACE runs frequent sales.

Now, how about the expensive charcoal-pre-filter? Check out the universal replacement pre-filter 38002. They cost about $10.00 each. I have found them in bulk for as low as $8.00 apiece. Cut them to fit. Even the leftover pieces can be easily connected with the enclosed male strips of the hook & loop (Velcro).

Of all the air cleaners running in our home, this Hunter is the least expensive to run 24 X 7 because I can make alternative filters. This is not the case with the large barrel-shaped cleaners and filters that circulate air 360 degrees. When the barrel-shaped air cleaners die, I replace them with these Hunter wall-huggers.

When my back is against the wall, I don't go to the mall. I look for a bargain. That usually begins with Amazon.Com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Air Purifier, October 4, 2007

I cannot believe what a great job this air purifier does. It is so quite that you forget that it is there. I have asthma and purchased this hoping it would help. At first I thought that it was not working but gradually I started feeling better and the dust (I live in a leaky old house)has gradually dissapeared from the living area. The only drawback is having to clean the filters often but that is easier than dusting ceilings!

4.0 out of 5 stars hunter 30090 is 1/3 the cost----same specs as 30083, September 4, 2010

30378 is excellent air cleaner and deodizer. Includes built in ionizer, which i can use for a while then turn off. prefilter comes clean by vacuuming with hand held vacuum-----i need to clean filter about every 2 or 3 days. initially i had to clean prefilter every day.---air smells wonderfully clean. as far as i can see,,hunter 30090 does same thing for about 1/3 cost of 30378. Other observation--Surround Air is more expensive at $180 dollars----but has uv light, nano particles and lots of high ratings. I am happy with quality of holmes 30378---seems to clean about 500 sq ft. if i need another purifier, i will consider permament hepa filter models and uv features and nano particles. FYI----HUNTER CADR(CLEANSING EFFECTIVENESS IS 260/260/260. When i purchased i considered CADR AND ROOM SIZE VERY MUCH.
