What to Consider When Buying an Air Purifier
Are you a smoker? What about a pet owner? If so, there is a good chance that the air inside your home isn’t as healthy as it could or should be. That is why you may want to think about purchasing an air purifier. Air purifiers are electronic machines that work to cleanup the air. They do this by trapping, and often eliminating, harmful bacteria and air particles. In fact, you don’t even have to be a pet owner or a smoker to benefit from the use of an air purifier; anyone can. For that reason, there is a good chance that you may be interested in purchasing an air purifier for your home.

Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-FilterReviewsI'm happy with it, but understand that it is thin and on a weight basis, has very little carbon in it. So I wouldn't expect it to do much. I have to say that this filter may be considered a "universal" filter, but it's only this way because you cut it to size.....hardly consider this universal if I have to do the work to make it fit. It does do what it's supposed to do, but would be nice if I didn't have to do the cutting on the product. exactly as pictured. i just wish i would get more than one filter for my model. I have purchased these replacement filters on a couple of occassions now and then work very well. I have a Honeywell 17000 and when (very easily) cut to size this filter makes a little over two full pre-filters for the air purifier. It is the exact same material that came with the 17000 in the box, and was the best price I could find on the internet(and I did my research). I am very satisfied. Average Rating:![]() |

The Honeywell Universal Carbon Prefilter fits all round Honeywell models. The activated carbon prefilter reduces odors and captures large particles to extend HEPA filter life. Should be replaced every three months. |

Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA FilterReviewsI bought this because my husband smokes, and I don't. Our computers, which we're on a good bit of the evening, are in a small 10x14 room. This little machine makes that much more bearable. I am very pleased with my purchase. Purchased unit because I wanted a small filter for dust and pollen for my bedroom. In my previous house I had a much larger unit that was both quiet and effective, but got rid of it when downsizing to a small apartment. This unit was just too noisy, even on the lowest speed, for me to sleep. Returned through Amazon's excellent return policy. Great Air Cleaner for Small Spaces and the price was very reasonable since it included S&H, Also easy to clean the filter I bought the Honeywell HHT-011 through Amazon.com. At first all was well and I was very pleased with the air quality produced by the Air Purifier. I'm currently deployed as a U.S. Army Soldier in Iraq and the air outside is normally filled with dust, dirt, and smoke from Iraqis burning stuff. I live in a Containerized Housing Unit (CHU) and bought the Honeywell HHT-011 for my 12' X 8' room room. I tend to have sinus issues when the air quality is poor. The fan was a little loud, but tolerable - I just had to crank up the TV or IPOD. The front grill did not fit snuggly on the unit and reflects on how the unit is cheaply made. However after about one month of use, the Honeywell HEPA Clean started to get louder and louder. It appears that the fan wheels are off center and have created a rattling noise. Now the Air Purifier is much louder and rumbles, rattles, and rolls. I've cleaned the filters (pre-filter and HEPA Filter) and the noise persists. This purchase was very disappointing since it's a quality of life issue. But, you get what you pay for. Reading other similar reviews, this sounds like a quality control issue with Honeywell. Be prepared to spend more for a quality unit. Thanks. My unit died after a week of use on 'high'. I would return it, but being overseas, it's not worth the cost, time, or trouble. I found a unit that was almost identical at a thrift shop and brought that home. I put the nice and clean filter from the honeywell into this new unit. It didn't last through the night, running on 'high'. Both fans are dead in the exact same way. The motor doesn't start, turn, hum, anything. It acts like it isn't getting any electricity. I've taken it apart and nothing seems wrong. I think the motor just burned out. So I'm going to call this one a loss. Now to look for a filter made by someone else. Average Rating:![]() |

Honeywell 18155 SilentComfort Permanent, True HEPA Air PurifierReviewsI needed an air cleaner for my apartment due to the fact that I am a medical marijuana patient in Los Angeles and I keep the windows closed most of the time and the air conditioner running. The unit is a little larger than I expected but was able to find a location that has it out of the way of foot traffic and also away from the ceiling fan. A magazine placed on top of the unit also helps to hide it at first glance. The sound that others have commented on is not an issue to me. I have used the unit on high only (no jokes please) and it sounds similar to a 20" box fan on low setting. Noticeable but not overbearing and if you live on a major street like I do the white noise is actually nice for sleeping yet does not interfere with sound from the computer speakers or tv. Waking up the first day after using it all night had me convinced this was worth the purchase. The air smelled clean and my nasal passages were clear, also I did not have the normal "bong cough" that many smokers have after years of medicating with medical marijuana. Another plus to me was that this unit does not have the uv light or ozone generating capability. It just cleans the air and also I have read of health issues from the units that generate ozone into closed areas. This product works well and does exactly what I expected it to do: purify air. I would reccommend. I don't have alot to say about this product other than I agree with other reviews it is rather large. I do not mind that and it seems to be doing a good job of filtering air in my apartment. We are on our second SilentComfort Air Purifier. We have had one of these that ran 24/7/365 for about 8 years and the motor bearing finally gave out. I think that was a lot of use and we got our money's worth on the first one. We replaced it with one exactly like it because we really missed the pleasant white noise it adds to our bedroom. Both the clean air and the soothing noise help us to sleep. Hope they are still making these 8 years from now. This purifier was shipped and delivered just as promised. Great deal and I love this purifier. It is much quieter than I was preparing myself for. And I love the design of it. Lightweight and easy to open to access the filters. I was stunned to see how much junk was in the air of my home. No wonder I have to dust constantly. Love this purifier and would recommend it to anyone!! Average Rating:![]() |

ZeroWater ZD-013 Filtration Pitcher with Electronic Tester, Filter IncludedReviewsThis water pitcher filter does exactly what it promises - completely purifies tap water to a zero reading.. When I first got this, I tested my tap water, my bottled Arrowhead spring water (which I have been exclusively drinking for many many years), and I also tested some water from 2 other brands of pitcher filters... my Los Angeles county tap water = 220 reading, pitcher #1= 167, pitcher # 2 = 134, arrowhead spring water = 120, zero water = 000. The design of the pitcher is fine, its ok. It works the way its supposed to work. Very easy to replace with a new filter when needed.. It does not take that long to filter the water through, and the water tastes good. I'd say this product is worth purchasing. What a pleasure it was to get my new ZEROWATER pitcher with filter and water testing device. It worked great for the first five times I filtered water. At first tester read zero and then it kept going up. At the sixth filtering, testing showed above the level (6) where you should replace filter. That means I would be spending about $60 per month. Now,I get filter water at the kiosks here in town. Testing device shows from 6 to 11 which is good enough for me and the water only costs 25 cents per gallon. In other areas where you have cleaner water, the filter might last much longer but not here in west Texas. Testing tap water the device shows 850 to 900 ppm. Hmmmm......... zero water says change filter when it reads six. When I lived in Oregon it might have lasted six months. Water's never been so good! I absolutely love this water filter. I had been spending over $10 a week on bottled water, and this cost me $40.00 well over a month ago and I have not had to change the filter yet (water poured from the pitcher still reads 0, while my tap water still reads in the 70's). I am the only one using it, but water is also all I drink. The first time I filled it there was water leaking between the reservoir and the filter, but the filter just needed to be screwed in tighter. It filters slowly, but you can dispense water from the bottom, so that's okay. I have read other reviews of people only getting a week or less out of their filters. This must be because of how bad the water from their tap is. If your tap water is horrible then of course it is going to wear out the filter sooner, and it would with any water filter. But if your water is decent and you just want to get rid of chlorine, heavy metals, or that general icky tap water taste, this filter is wonderful. This Filtering system provides the best tasting water and the meter provided in the box proves it every time. I use the pitcher for my drinking water, water for my ice cubes and water for my coffee. I can taste the difference even in my coffee. No need for bottled water at home! I see some people have complained about the speed in which the filter works. I don't have a probelem with that because I expect the filter to work slower since it is actually taking everything out of the water. Other filters don't come close to taking everything out so they should filter quicker. A great feature is the meter that comes with it. It tells you when you need to change your filter so there is no guessing. Filters are more expensive than others but again I figure you get what you pay for. I am willing to pay a little extra for pure water or as the name of the Product states..... ZERO WATER. Wife came home and said that they reviewed this filter system as a WOW good water item. So, I said ok let me look. Bought one from Amazon, said good cheap price, $35. Water tasted real good. So, after first filter started to taste bad and go past the 006 that they reccomend changing the filter. comes with some handy electronic device free with your pitcher to test the water. It's 000 when the pitcher is fresh filter. When bad after 006, you replace it. 2 filters are $40. So, after having some bad tasting water, replaced second one. It read 013. Third filter I figured I would test the water every 5 gallons. Started out first pitcher and was 001 to start. Never did see it go to 000. After just 6 gallons, the filter was spitting out 008. So, by ZERO's reccomendations, you should change your filter. 6 gallons mind you. I am not sure what this 000 number is, but I refuse to pay $40 every 10 gallons of water. Water tastes real good, but I am sure that there are filter systems that would do the same 000 thing and since I have their device, I can test it out on some other system. Pros: Excellent water, nice pitcher and spicket. Cons: Filters done last but like 6 gallons when house water reads 199 with their device. Filters cost way to much for only 10 -12 gallson of water per 2. Reccomendation: Unless you have tons of money, I don't see buying this system. Total waste of money for expensive filters, and the filters are so big that they probably the same as putting a plastic water bottle in the land fill. Average Rating:![]() |

Filtrete air purifiers do a fantastic job of squeezing every last particle out of the air, but once the filter is full you're left with nothing more than a big white fan... And that's definitely not what you paid for. |

Vicks UV 99.999% Germ Free HumidifierReviewsI checked Reviews Before purchase,I purchased Two. Disappointed with noisy performance. If you are a lite sleeper this is not for the bedroom. Other locations would be fine. I wasn't sure about a heat mist humidifier. I have a cool mist and the maintenance is minimal. The Vicks humidifier does a great job in increasing the humidity, much better than the cool mist. It takes a little more maintenance however it is worth the effort. I purchased two of these humidfiers with the aim that they would be quieter than normal. When you first turn them on they are quiet until it begins to heat the water. Sounds like a boiling pot of water on the stove. I wouldn't suggest putting this in a bedroom if constant noises bother you at night. The germ free feature is outstanding and both units have been working non-stop for several months, requiring refilling everyday. Refill containers are light and easy to carry. The only drawback is that they drip if you overfill the container from a groove at the top of the container that catches a bit of the overflow. When you turn the container upright, it pours out in a stream until the groove is empty. Best to turn upside down and wipe before carrying over wood floors. This is a great humidifier. Warm, puts out a lot of humidity, easy to clean. Despite the recomendations, I only clean ours once a week and so far have not experienced any problems. I clean it with vinegar and a plastic scrubby pad b/c we have high TDS water. Works great. We use this humidifier every night for about 12 hours a night (my daughter is a great sleeper) and have owned it for about three months. Worth the money! Thank you, Amazon, for providing a forum for consumer reviews. Thanks to the wealth of reviews of various humidifiers, I was armed with information about what to expect or what is desirable. I had no idea my sinus problems, even after surgery, were so exacerbated by dry air. I chose the Vicks UV 99.999% Germ Free Humidifier as a middle ground product and could not be more pleased. Since my sinus problem is so bad, I run it all the time so the dual water containers means the refilling task consumes less time. Yes, the light is bright. Yes, it's a bit noisy. Yes, it hard to clean. But it does the job so well, those are minor inconveniences. Average Rating:![]() |

Honeywell HFD-010 QuietClean Compact Tower Air Purifier with Permanent FilterReviewsAs an allergy sufferer I appreciate having air purifiers in the house to clean the dust, dander and other allergens from my breathing space. This honeywell quietclean is one of the best products on the market. It is quiet while the motor runs and is very good at it's job of purifying air. We've been using our Honeywell Air Purifier for a month now and and thus far find it a great little unit. We have it in our bedroom and have been doing some remodeling work in the attached bathroom, consequently, much fine dust is over everything. The unit is doing its job very well...as we can tell by the air in the bedroom and the amount of dust collected on the filter. And filter is a snap to clean, one of the easiest we've ever used. We're very pleased with our Honeywell, it does what the literature claims. We bought this one to replace a larger Honeywell tower that had burned out the motor bearings. We have a room dedicated to small parrots, and they produce a lot of dander that we don't want to spread into the rest of the house. Our old Honeywell worked well, but it was hard to clean and fairly loud. This new one is much quieter, and works just as well, filtering a great amount of dander out of the air. It is far easier to clean, and the fact that no filters ever need to be replaced was a major reason for our purchase. It is running constantly, but it is virtually unnoticeable. We have tried several air purifiers over the years, and this is by far the best we have had. I bought this product for my bedroom. The unit is fairly quiet. I like the fact that the filters could be cleaned instead of having to buy expensive replacements. I use natural mineral powder makeup, which causes a lot of dust. I used to have to dust all surfaces twice a week. The unit has cut that in half. I'm quite happy with it so far and have even recommended it to co-workers and friends. This is my second one...the first one came and had a slight strange sound....sent it back...this one is amazing...and u dont ever have to buy a filter....awesome....this thing takes in so much dust...

Hunter 30962 HEPA Tower Replacement filters for models 30730, 30713, 30730ReviewsGood product so far. These are really pricey and it was a good value from this shipper. Quick shipment. Good experience. The filters arrived in a timely manner and were definitely "OEM." They fit & work as they should. The price: Less than 1/2 of the on-line price at Hunter. Good thing Amazon has this filter because the store where I bought the unit doesn't carry them anymore. I can have it special ordered, but it is cheaper on Amazon. The filter works great, no problem with that. It is just so expensive to replace and with two cats and a bunny and two kids with Asthma it should be replace every 4 or 5 months. I live in Canada and by the time I get the filter and pre filter it is almost $100.00. I read such good reviews about the Hunter tower I thought I should give it a try not realizing the cost to keep it going. Bottom line, product is great, too expensive. I have had my Hunter Air Purifier for 2 1/2 years now and love it. It works great, is very quiet and I have not had one ounce of trouble with it so far. I do hate that I now have to order the filter replacements on-line vs. running in a store to pick one up. None of the stores in my area sell them anymore for some reason but, the HEPA filter only has to be replaced once a year and AMAZON is the cheapiest place I have found online to order one. It is a terrific product and I encourage any animal owner to have one. I have 4 indoor cats and you can NEVER smell their litter box anymore due the having the air purifier! Average Rating:![]() |

Hunter 30965 HEPAtech Tower Replacement filter for models 30715, 30707 and the 30716ReviewsThis was a replacement filter for the air purifier I purchased the year before. I love this machine and the replacement filter lasted a full year (the machine tells me when to change them). I just put another one in my shopping cart. If you own the air cleaner then you're familiar with this filter. It's well made and traps quite a bit of dust. Same as the original filter that came with your air purifier. Stick with a winner.

If you are like most other Americans, when it comes to purchasing an air purifier, you may make the decision to purchase one and then go right out and buy one. Although it is nice to get a product when you want it, often right away, there are disadvantages to doing so. Essentially, you may be purchasing a product that is poor in quality. Without the proper amount of research, you will never know.
As mentioned above, it is important that you examine the quality of an air purifier before purchasing it. You can easily do this online. A large number of online websites allow internet users to comment, rate, or write reviews on a product that they have purchased. These products also include air purifiers. If you know of anyone who uses an air purifier in their home, you may also want to think about asking them for suggestions. Feedback from those who own the same product is the best way to learn about the quality of it.
In addition to the quality of the product, it is also important that you examine the size of the air purifier you are interested in buying. When it comes to the size of an air purifier, you do not necessarily need to focus on the size of the actual machine, but you should focus on the size of the space that it is designed for. With cheaper, low-cost air purifiers, you will find that they only tend to treat the air in small rooms. These rooms commonly have a square footage of about 250-350 feet. If you are looking to treat the air inside a larger room, you may need to spend more money on a larger air purifier.
It is also important to consider the cost of an air purifier. Many individuals, regrettably, make a mistake when doing this. That mistake is believing that the purchase price is the only cost that they need to worry about. While there are some air purifiers that are filter-less, not all are. Many of these air purifiers, the ones that require filters, need to have their filters changed every so often. This can be as little as once every couple of years or as much as a couple of months. It is important that you keep the cost of replacement parts, including filters, in mind. When doing this, you may find that an otherwise low-cost air purifier turns into one that is too expensive for you to afford.
Since, in many cases, air purifiers are considered expensive, you are advised to look for air purifiers that come with warranties. In most cases, you will find that many air purifiers have a manufacturer’s warranty. That warranty typically tends to last about a year. If you are spending more than $400 on an air purifier, you may want to think about getting an extended warranty. If you purchase your next air purifier from a retail store, you may need to pay for the warranty. Despite possibly having to pay for an extended warranty, you will find that it is worth the cost. Should anything happen to your expensive air purifier, a warranty would, in most cases, prevent you from being out of luck.
The above mentioned points are just a few of the many that you need to take into consideration, when buying an air purifier. As previously mentioned, an air purifier can be a large purchase. That is why you are advised to fully research and examine all aspects of that purchase before making a final decision. It is the only way to make sure that you are not wasting your money.
