| Small unit but powerful! We first tried it out as a loan from a neighbor and noticed an IMMEDIATE change in our baby's room air quality. After doing research to purchase our own we went with the same one for various reasons: Very affordable, small unit, powerful, quiet with adjustable settings(just like a pedestal fan), and finally and most importantly, does it's job (evident in our baby's cleared sinuses)! We are extremely happy with it. |

| Works great in my room; especially in the desert of Iraq. Noisy at first, but after a few minutes, it quieted down. |
Great product - great price

| I love this air purifier. It was suggested I get a hepa or hepa type air purifier for my allergies. This has made a HUGE difference. In fact I plan on purchasing another one for my son's room. |
Satisfactory air cleaner for a small room

| Reviewer: Insectophile, |
When a filter is installed in the unit it doesn't seat against the unit very well and just hangs by the guides on one side. However, when the unit is turned on the filter is pulled against the unit by the fan suction to form a satisfactory seal.
This unit cleans a surprising amount of filth from the air and is suitable for a small room.
I wish the unit accepted washable filters. |
Great product for small area

| Works extremely well. Highest setting can be a bit loud, but mid settingis very quiet. Compact and un-noticeable. I would definitely recommend. |

| Think it does a good job seems to make more noise at night but that is just because nothing else is making noise. |
It's ok, but the filters too expensive.

I've used this for about 6 months now and it does a decent job, with a noticeable change in the smell of the room (this is due to the ionizer i think). Hasn't eliminated dust buildup on surfaces but dust buildup has reduced as far as I can tell.
However, now it is time to change the filter and I'm considering just getting a different purifier. Right now, a 2 pack of filters for the HAP412 are going for about $31. Considering that's almost the cost of the purifier (with 1 filter included), I'd suggest trying a purifier with a reusable/washable filter.
It's quiet enough on the lowest setting and seems to do an OK job purifying but ultimately the filters are way too expensive. |
gotta love the placebo effect

| Reviewer: CAM, |
first off let me start out by saying that i've been using this 'purifier' in a 10x10 room for about 2 weeks now. i was looking for something that would help increase fresh air in the room while i partake in my 'herbal medicine' smoking. unfortunately, it didn't meet my standards. while it did, over time, decrease the odor of smoke somewhat, it was hard to really notice a difference unless i left the room and came back a half an hour or more later and by then the odor would have dissipated on its own anyways just as it did before i had purchased this product.
furthermore, even when there was no smoking going on in the room, when this thing was running with the door and window closed all day (which from what i've read in other reviews is apparently the only way it will work anyways) the room had a 'stuffy smell' when i entered it for the first time, again exactly as it would have before i even purchased this product. while i did notice *some* buildup on the filter after 2 weeks, indicating that at least a little bit of impurities were being filtered out of the air, it just wasn't enough to make any legit difference for me. this made me come to the conclusion that this thing is basically just an overpriced swanky looking small personal fan.
unfortunately i think most of the people reviewing this product are victims of the 'placebo effect'.. if you try hard enough to convince yourself that something is actually working, it's very easy to be misled. i have an extremely hard time believing that reviewers who state "i noticed an immediate difference!" actually experienced cleaner air. the product will be returned. |
