4.0 out of 5 stars Holmes Hepa Air Cleaner
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...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it. Lost ~$300
My family bought 2 of these air filter (different sizes but similar models) and now these air filters are sitting in the garage waiting to be trashed. There goes ~$300 of investment.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works just as described, but be sure to budget for filter replacements., October 18, 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!, June 14, 2008

This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
We have four of these Holmes air cleaners now, a larger model for the main floor, and three of this size for the master bedroom, second bedroom, and basement rec room, and they definitely are the best in a long series of air cleaners I've owned over the years. I especially like the LED warning lights that tell you when it's time to change the filters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Purifier, May 20, 2009
This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
My apartment has mold and I was waking up stuffed up and until I am able to move out I thought I would get this. I am now waking up with minimal sinus problems. I am pleased with the product. It makes noise but nothing I wasn't expecting. I recommend this.

This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
This year, my kids and my husband have very bad allergy. We consulted the kids' doctor and decided to try to find an air purifier which can help to remove allergen. After doing some researches on different air-purifiers, my husband decided to try this one. I bought it with the Amazon gift card that I have and received this model a few days afterwards. After a few hours, it seemed to work. The kids did not cough when they played in the room with the air-purifier's on. My husband checked the air-purifier and saw all the dust and dirts picked up on the filters. The first night, we left it on for a few hours, all the kids and my husband did not cough. The only drawback is the noise. Overall, we are happy with this model and would recommend it to the others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Air Purifier, December 26, 2009
By bukchuhd (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
Bought the Holmes HAP726-U to help relieve my girlfriends allergies when she visits. It works great. Since she is able to sleep at night, I am able to sleep at night. Great product and simple to use. There is a power button, a plus and minus button, and a digital display. To use the timer, hold down the plus and minus button at the same time, and when it starts to flash, use the same buttons to adjust the timer. Its size is a little bigger than a standard computer tower. It doubles great during the summer as a fan. It isn't that loud if you have it running on 2 (out of 4) when trying to sleep.
I didn't give it a 5, because the replacement HEPA and carbon filter are expensive. This purifier uses 2 HEPA and 2 carbon filters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good air filter, July 25, 2010

This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
I bought this air filter after my old one (same brand)started running hot and I was afraid to use it (had it running almost 24 hours a day for about 4 years). This one is smaller than my old one but works just as great. It's in a room with two shedding rabbits and it really gets the fur that floats around the room. I just vacuum the charcoal filters twice a week to get the fur that collects on them. The lowest setting runs nice and quiet and is a nice background white noise.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it. Lost ~$300, April 21, 2010
This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
My family bought 2 of these air filter (different sizes but similar models) and now these air filters are sitting in the garage waiting to be trashed. There goes ~$300 of investment.

Here's what I bought it for:

1. Remove the paint odor and polyurethane smell in my room.
2. Remove dirty laundry odor and make my room smell fresh.

It did not do 1 or 2.

I regret buying this air filter after buying the Alive Air purifier.
This air filter only has 2 filtering technology ---HEPA and activated Carbon.
The Alive Air Purifier has 9 --- HEPA, activated carbon, air ionizer, electrode, TIO2 plates, and I forgot the other 4.

If you want a really good air purifier, I recommend the Alive Air Purifier which cost ~$300. It is worth the money ---trust me. My room smells fresher with the Alive Air Purifier than if I were to open my window and door.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and Great, April 12, 2010

This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
I use to have very serious allergy around late March and April for the oak pollen. About 6 months ago. I purchased this item from Amazon. This item is better than the allergy medicine, since this year I only sneeze when I am outside. I, now purchases another 2 for my bedroom and the other room in my house, because it does help my allergy problem. I really enjoy it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Broke after 8 months..., March 8, 2010
This review is from: Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms (Kitchen)
The first filter replacement came around, new filters were put in and it never worked again. I've owned this unit for about 8 months. I used it nightly on the lowest setting for a little background noise and air filtration. I'm pretty disappointed in the longevity of this air filter. While it worked, it was great.
