The Benefits of Owning an Air Purifier
If you watch television, listen to the radio, or surf the internet, there is a good chance that you have heard of air purifiers before. Air purifiers are electronic machines that work to make indoor air healthier. This is done by trapping harmful air particles in the filters or collection grids. Essentially, this means that your air will not only be healthier, but easier to breathe.

Eureka 4870MZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright HEPA Vacuum CleanerReviewsArrived with no problems. Wasn't hard to assemble. Bag door was a little diffcult to shut the first time because I was afraid of breaking the latch. Vaccum suction is very good. Quiter than my last vacuum and I like the wider path. Weight not as light as some but I would rather have the cleaning power! I haven't used it a lot yet but feel like it was a great purchase! I was sick and tired of the bagless,the mess,dust and using my air compresser to blow out all parts of my Dyson canister.I really think this Eureka out cleans and is cleaner all around for a fraction of the cost. This is an excellent vacuum however it is very heavy. Being of short statue and not very strong my husband usually does the vacuuming since we bought this. It takes off forward very easily but is very hard when pulling it back. "It probably picks up better than any vacuum I've ever had tho and I've had alot in my 65 years." I highly recommend this. It even picks up tiny threads that are always on my quilt studio floor. Tired of picking up bits of dirt by hand that your vacuum missed? You won't be doing that with this Eureka. Great suction, for a terrific price. What we didn't realize when we bought it is, this vacuum has a forward motion, like a powered lawn mower. So it glides forward with little effort, however pulling it back means pulling against that forward motion, which I found to be a struggle. But my wife figured out that you just need to push the handle downward a bit while pulling back, and that lifts the vacuum off the floor so there's no forward motion. Handle up/glide forward, then handle down/pull back. Easy once you get the hang of it. Actually it would be a little easier if the handle was a little longer, then you wouldn't have to bend over when pushing down on the handle (probably not a problem if you're under 50). In any case, we're thrilled to finally have a vacuum that really sucks (in a good way). So I went online to the reviews on vacuum cleaners and this was at the top of the list, so I continued on my mission reading and researching machines and all good things regarding this machine. So I purchased it and it came really quickly through Amazon. Easy to assemble and the suction is incredible when you turn the machine on it just wants to go, it is alittle heavy but not as heavy as my Dirtdevil. I am very pleased with my purchase but some reviews are correct my machine was missing the Power Paw Clip so I can't put my power paw on the machine, its just laying around the house, and the step pedal to recline the vacuum is quite hard to release so I am sure that will break before the vacuum. But other wise the price was great for this machine and I can't brag more about the suction! WOW. Average Rating:![]() |

Let's face it. Most vacuums just don't cut it when it comes to really cleaning a home or office. Pesky pet hair embeds deeper in carpet than traditional vacuums go; bits and pieces of tracked-in dirt and debris hunker down under floor trim just out of reach of the latest brush innovations, rendering us to the silliness of handpicking behind that expensive vacuum, filling our pockets with lint, and wondering--who's really the boss? Troubles like these made the folks at Eureka get down and dirty and, ultimately, design the Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum... |

Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA FilterReviewsThis product is exactly as reviewed by most. Compact,easy to use and works well for the money. I haven't checked the filters yet, but it has only been a few weeks. I have 2, and it does work better in the smaller room, but second room is max for this size unit. Can't beat the product for the price, No replacement filters is the biggest plus! As for the noise, they are a little louder than I had hoped for bedrooms. But it sounds just like a fan on low (when on the low setting). There is no annoying hum or high pitched sound to bother you. Is this the best product out there? probably not. Best product for the price? DEFINATELY! You get what you pay for. I 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. Average Rating:![]() |

Kirby Generation 3,4,5,6, Ultimate G and Sentria HEPA Bags PKG of 6ReviewsThis is the second set of these types of kirby vacuum bags I have bought on Amazon. These bags are a quality product, and the price compared to buying from the local vacuum store is a bargain. Delivery was quick, arrived a day earlier than quoted, and the bags arrived in good order. These bags are very strong and help lift allergenics from your carpets and furniture.Never over fill them as it will drastically cut down on your machines efficiency. Excellent bags for my (pre 2009)Kirby Sentria vacuum. These are the bags I received with my vacuum. These bags lasted more than a year each because I didn't know where the Kirby store is and I'm a cheapskate and would empty the bag by hand and reuse it. I've had my vacuum for 3 years, on my 2nd bag and it is way passed the fill line and I still have no complaints. Excellent product-excellent price. These bags are the best bags ive encountered in a long time they are great for your allergies due to the hepa filtration the catch alot more of the finer dust particles that most vacuums just spit back out into the air This product is not for the Sentria, as is advertised in the product description. Nowhere on the packaging is the Sentria model mentioned. We forced the bags to fit our 2009 Sentria (with the use of a drill!) just to avoid the hassle and expense of returning them. You would think that with 2 previous reviews complaining of the exact same issue, this major problem would have been addressed. Oh. The shipping was fast. Average Rating:![]() |

Dyson DC17 Lifetime FilterReviewsWe've had our DC-17 for a couple years. This new filter (which fit ours great) made it LIKE NEW again! I didn't even realize we were degraded. I had initially ordered this product based on the picture because my present filter looks exactly like it but when the actual filter arrived it was the wrong one. It did not have the (6 and the tap)on it like the picture, it was white and much larger. However I returned it and made sure to place my next order based on my vacuum's product number. Eventually the correct filter was mailed to me, Filter Part #911685-01. Filter #911685-01 is exactly like the picture, therefore I wish that they would put the correct picture for corresponding filter because that picture DOES NOT accurately represent Filter Part #911236-01. The dyson -17 aka. the animal has changed their filter. I made it fit by cutting the filter ring but amazon and dyson should have asked model year. You know retro fit and all do your job. It works, but I had to do a little cramming to get it to fit. Average Rating:![]() |

Black and Decker VF100H Replacement Filter for HEPA 15.6-Volt Cyclonic DustBusterReviewsThis is advertised as fitting "ALL" CHV cordless cyclonic hand vacs, and it even says so on the Black & Decker box. I bought this along with a CHV 1688 dust buster cordless. THIS FILTER DOES NOT FIT - it's too big. The proper hepa filter for a CHV 1688 is a VF08H, which Amazon does not carry. the VF100 replacement filterVF100H DOES NOT fit my dust buster ! the specs state "fits all CHV Cylonic hand vacs " . not even close ! try to find a HEPA filter for the B&D model CHV1688 . When I looked at my filter on my dust buster, I was shocked and disgusted by how incredibly filthy it was. I immediately went on-line to order some new ones. It was really easy to change out and I feel much better knowing there's a clean filter. I've been happy with this filter. Although disposable, I've tapped it on rocks and blown it out with an air compressor, and have kept on using after nearly a year. Does a good job catching wood stove ashes and other fine dust. This is the Cadillac of Dustbusters ;) Both tools do fit on the bottom. Everyone enjoys using it. No issues with run time. Average Rating:![]() |

Honeywell 18155 SilentComfort Permanent, True HEPA Air PurifierReviewsThis air filter is being used in a large room with two cat litter boxes and it had done a great job of eliminating the dust from the air. It was a great buy and worth the $130. It does have a quiet humming sound while in use. I 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. Average Rating:![]() |

Honeywell 50250 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air PurifierReviewsNot sure if this is actually helping my allergies. It is good quality though and we've been using it for a couple of months now. Difficult for me to tell if it's actually helping my allergies but the product seems well built. It's a good investment if you suffer from allergies. It cleans the air well and is not to noisy. The Honeywell 50250 did a more than satisfactory job of cleaning air in our downstairs apartment of cigarette smoke and residues. We are very satisfied. We have a couple dogs, one who sheds 365 days a year, and a bunch of rescued cats. These things do a pretty good job, it's amazing how much dust and fur is on the pre-filter when I change it. This thing really pumps the air. The pre-filters are relatively inexpensive. The trade-off is noise, even on Low. It actually provides nice white noise for sleeping, and is good for times when you are not home, but when you are home and awake, trying to have a conversation, or watch TV, this filter is too loud. Would be nice if it had an "Ultra Low" setting. Have had this for about six months. It definitely works. How do I know this? Because since I have used it I have not needed to reguarly purchase kleenex boxes for the first time in probably a decade. I have serious allergies and typically go through a kleenex box in a week or two due to dust, etc. Now I only get kleenex when I have a cold. The only reason I game it four starts is because it's loud but its worth it... Average Rating:![]() |

Despite the fact that you know what an air purifier is and what it does, do you know the benefits of owning or using one? If you do not currently own an air purifier, also commonly known as an air cleaner, there is a good chance that you will want one, after examining the benefits of using one. That is right, air purifiers are that good.
As mentioned above, air purifiers work to eliminate dangerous or unhealthy contaminants from the air. Doing this makes the air inside your home easier to breathe. This is great for young children, the elderly, as well as those with allergies. When breathing cleaner air, your health is likely to improve. There is a good chance that you may find yourself getting ill less often.
In addition to getting ill less often, it has been said that the air we breathe has an impact on our emotions and wellbeing. Therefore, this means that breathing cleaner air, thanks to an air purifier, you may not only be healthier, but you may also enjoy life a little bit more. When you think about it, it is actually amazing what clean air can do for a person.
Another benefit to owning an air purifier is the cost of owning one. Unfortunately, many individuals believe that air purifiers cost too much money. It is true that their costs can be high, but you need to think about what you are getting from them. Can you really put a price tag on clean, healthy, and breathable air? Even if you must put a price tag on it, you will find that you have a number of different options. Air purifiers come in a number of different makes and models. Each of those makes and models costs a certain amount of money. This means that, with a little bit of research, you should be able to find at least one air purifier that is within your price range.
As great as air purifiers are, it is important to remember one thing. You can not reap the many benefits of owning an air purifier if you do not use it. There are many individuals who make the purchase, but do not properly use their air purifiers, if they even use them at all. In most cases, you will find that air purifiers work best if you use them all of the time. This will allow your air purifier to keep up with all of the air particles floating around inside your home or inside a particular room. Essentially, this means that if you make the decision to purchase an air purifier, make sure you actually use it.
As you should easily be able to tell, air purifiers have a number of different benefits. Each of these benefits are likely to help you out, in one way or another. Therefore, if you haven’t thought about purchasing an air purifier before, it is about time that you give it some serious though. You may very well find it to be one of the best purchases that you ever made.
