I received my item (though late, Thanks Amazon), and apparently all my research into an air cleaner has paid off. This little guy does exactly what it says and works like a charm.
Here's why I bought it. I wanted an air cleaner for a medium to small sized room where I keep my cat's litter box. Normally, it doesn't smell, but about the day it's time to change it, I can smell it. Now, I don't want to smell it ever, though I keep my kitty box schedule in tact. Anyway, this air cleaner is so quiet on Whisper Mode that I literally cannot hear it. I even put it in my roommate's bedroom, just to see if she realized it was in there, before moving it to its final destination. She had no clue.
The model has 3 speeds, but the Whisper Mode is fine for continuous daily use. Sure, you can turn it up, and you'll hear it's low whirrrrrr, but that's to be expected.
Another reason I bought it is that it IS a HEPA quality cleaner. But I don't have to buy replacement filters--ever. This one has a "permanent" filter, which I didn't even know existed. To clean it, it says about once every 6 months to just use your hose and brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner and suck it out. Really? That's awesome! Why don't ALL HEPA filters do this. That feels like such a waste. I'm not allergic to anything, but my purpose for this is to keep the area near my kitty box smelling like air, and not horrid ammonia. Cats are so gorgeous, but like newborn babies, they sure can produce some of the foulest smells!
So: I am in love with this baby. Thanks Hamilton Beach! |
Works great!

| I bought this product for my son. He's eight years old and suffers from allergies. He woke up every morning sneezing, and with a stuffy nose. I was looking for an alternative to giving him allergy medication every day. We keep it on the desk, right next to his bed. It's incredibly quiet and it has helped his allergies a lot. After about a month of constant use on the medium setting, I vacuumed the filter. It was filty. I was very impressed with how much dust it pulled from the air. |
The best one we've tried

| Our daughter has allergies and we've tried several different air purifiers. This is by far the best we've tried. It is much quieter than others, compact size, the filter is permanent, and it works great. We are getting another one for another room. |
Good, quiet air purifier

| This air purifier seems to get the job done as described. It's quiet setting really is very quiet and great for use at night. The "quick clean" setting is pretty loud but it gets the job done! I have found that the medium setting moves a good amount of air and isn't distracting to have on while in the same room. The air does seem to smell fresher after using this product. I got it because I have asthma and just wanted better indoor air quality. I'm a satisfied customer. Also, having a permanent filter was a must for me when considering cost. This unit has great cost value. |
Very good, WHISPER quiet

| This filter does the job. 3 settings, whisper, mild and quick clean. The whisper setting you can barely hear, the other two you can, and it has a moderate air output. Within a day I could already see dust gathered on the filter. Never have to buy another filter, highly recommended! |
great for cat dander

I ordered this air filter after dealing with my friends' allergies to my newly-acquired longhaired cat (himalayans are giant poofballs). His hair and dander combined with my shorthaired cat created a knockout effect on my allergic friends. As I like being around them AND my cats, I got a filter. Instead of immediately sneezing up a storm, my allergy-inclined friends can last several hours before being affected.
The filter also eliminates smell from the litterbox. It's very powerful for its size and takes care of my entire one bedroom apartment. Having it plus using a carpet deodorizer every few days keeps my place manageable to those not super duper allergic to cats but allergic and sneezy nonetheless.
For full effect, I suggest using it in a room with the door shut on full blast for two or three hours. Afterward, for dander management keep it on the quiet setting. If I know people are coming over I turn it up higher and put it back on quiet when they're around. It's very quiet background noise, barely noticeable.
I haven't had to clean the filter yet, but it is very easy to remove to do so. |
Good little air filter

This does a good job of filtering particles out of the air. It has a green benefit since the filter is a cleanable permanent one. When you clean it you will find a fair amount of dust/dirt/pollen/etc. And it is easy to clean, all you have to do is vacuum the filter. There are better filters out there, but for the size and cost it's a good deal.

| My dad and I are both asthmatic, I have been looking for air purifiers for a while and decided to get this one. It really work as described. I could feel the different after 2 hours of continuous use. It runs really quiet with quiet mode. It is worth the money that I spent. |
Just got it and love it.....

| I just got this product but I love it. The low setting is very quiet and does a good job filtering the air. Allergy season is just starting and I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep using this product. |
Very pleased

For the price this has to be one of the quietest air purifiers I have bought.
Delivers a lot of air at minimal noise. I purchased one of the units for our guest bedroom was very impressed with the performance of the unit.
Although it has a permanent non replaceable filter that is cleaned by vacuuming the unit it is money well spend for a quality product.
I just ordered another for our computer room to replace a very noisy Honeywell desk model.
I give it five stars easily..
