Bemis 821 Digital Spacesaver Humidifier Review

Bemis 821 Digital Spacesaver Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had been searching for a humidifier (or humidifiers) for my 1900 SF house, and was excited when I came across this model, as it was compact and not ugly like the console humidifiers I have seen. Floor space in my house is somewhat limited, so I liked the fact that its upright design would allow flexibility in placement. Also, I'd had good luck with Bemis in the past (had two H12 console units, in black, which for some reason Bemis no longer offers), so I thought I'd give this a try. My intent was to order a second one if it worked well, since the output ratings on humidifiers are generally quite overstated and I knew I would need more capacity.
What a disappointment! The unit only has two speeds, and the high speed is LOUD. Now, I know that in order to put a lot of moisture in the air you have to have a pretty good fan blower, but this was ridiculous. Much louder than the H12 I'd had before. Also, the humidity setting only scrolls up, so you have to cycle all the way through to get back to the lowest setting. I guess that's really more of a minor annoyance, but it was disappointing nonetheless.
But the real problem was that the unit just plain didn't add moisture to the air. We left it running all night, and barely any water had evaporated by the next morning. In looking at the unit further, there is a major design flaw- unlike most humidifiers, which draw air into the unit through the wick (where it then picks up moisture), in this model the air is drawn in near the top, and also expelled at the top, while the wick is lower in the unit, so the majority of air just bypasses the wick.
I am returning this unit, and will have to bite the bullet and purchase another H12 console unit. I already own a Honeywell HCM-300T, but it's only rated 3 gallons per day and used in my bedroom at night. I am waiting for it to "die" because I don't like the fact that the cold air blows out of the BOTTOM of the unit, making an unpleasant draft on the floor. I did consider the Honeywell 6011i but don't like the fact that it has two water bottles (less convenient), and also the air blows out the side rather than the top. Bemis will get my business after all, but I can't believe they produced an inferior model like this.

Honeywell 50250N 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier
This is a review for the 50300 which is similar to the 50250.
This air cleaner really puts out the volume of clean air on high speed, but it is loud. You can not talk or hear over it.
The slow speed is you can hear talking and TV over. Then turn it on high at night for white noice or when you leave the room.
If you want quiet, try the 17005n which does not have the volume (200 sq. ft room) but is quiet enough for to hold business meetings or home use.

Sharper Image SI627 Ionic Breeze Plug-In Bathroom Air Purifier Review

Sharper Image SI627 Ionic Breeze Plug-In Bathroom Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I basically used it instead of a Quadra to clean up household dust, cat litter dust, odors, and smoke from a couple smokers. (The blades got coated in tan gunk from pipe smoke that I'm glad didn't end up in my lungs.) I moved it from room to room. It worked great for about a year and a half before the poor thing just gave out. The light worked, but it stopped producing a "breeze." Since then, everything in the house has become coated in a layer of dust, and I frequently have bouts of sneezing in the morning. Time to get a new one.

Honeywell Enviracaire HEPA Air Purifier, Model 50150 1 ea Review

Honeywell Enviracaire HEPA Air Purifier, Model 50150 1 ea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an older model of the Enviracaire line. I've owned this model for over 4 years. I purchased it to use in my office at work (the room measures 12 feet by 13 feet) and it serves me well. My office sits across from the owner of the company and he smokes cigars all day; I was coughing 24/7 before I purchased this to clean the air. Now I rarely cough.
The low setting works best for me as the high fan setting is way too loud, the low fan speed is actually quite relaxing white noise, and if I had this in a bedroom I would have no problem falling asleep with it running. So far I have only replaced the outside charcoal pre-filter every 6 months or so, the HEPA filter looks pretty good still. (This one does not come with a permanent filter).
Highly recommended.

Therapure Air Purifier - 17" Review

Therapure Air Purifier - 17
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this filter for almost a year. Even though it SAYS the filters never need replacing, they DO! After use any HEPA filter that cannot be washed will need to be replaced after particulate matter is drawn deeper and deeper into the existing filters, that being said, as a filter I have loved the effectiveness. Now on to customer service.....
Seeing that the filters are now in need of replacing, I searched high and low for a replacement. Finally emailed their customer service on the manufacturer's page. I was informed that even though they sell the purifiers on the open market, the only way to get the replacement filter was thru them. OK doable. The problem is this: The unit needs TWO filters to replace the existing ones, they are not sold in sets of two. Moreover, the shipping costs as much as the filters if not more, they also do not bundle the shipping on the two filters even though the item REQUIRES two filters. After paying 13.00 EACH for shipping of these filters, you would think that shipping time would be reasonable. Be prepared to wait nearly a MONTH or 15 BUSINESS days. GMAB. Regular mail takes no more than three days to arrive ANYWHERE in the continental US. Are these being shipped directly from India? There is no tracking info provided so you wait a month and keep your fingers crossed that your product arrives.
Had I not paid so much for the unit in the first place, it would now be filling my local landfill in exchange for something more consumer friendly. By next year, it may be.
****Update after a month I contacted the company about the mysterious filters only to be told that they were on BACKORDER. Now where is that landfill. Hopefully the Sharp FPP60CX that I ordered will make this purifier obsolete. Too bad.... really good system just really poor customer service.

Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan, 10 Inches, Blue Review

Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan, 10 Inches, Blue
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This fan is no air multiplier. See all those holes around the base of the fan? Those are the air inlets for the blower which they've thoughtfully hidden in the base. You can't get something for nothing - and that includes air.
Compared with a clip-on 6" fan, this fan is a waste of both money and space. That little clip-on costs $20 and moves 190 cubic feet per minute. The Dyson moves 40 cubic feet per minute (or as Dyson specifies: 5 gallons per second). Comparably sized tabletop fans move over a thousand cubic feet per minute.
Don't be fooled by the store displays. Those streamers are placed around the edge for a reason - that's the only place where the air is moving! Stand a few feet away from this fan and you will literally feel nothing.
Meanwhile, it's loud. That little 6" fan produces 37 decibels of sound. The Dyson is closer to 50. That's more than twice as loud (decibels are a log scale, every 10 is a doubling).
It's intriguing that some are so taken with this fan. It would have some benefits. It won't muss your hair, and it's unlikely to ruffle your papers. But let's be real - this is a fan, not a vase of flowers.
Buy this fan only if you prioritize owning a statement piece over owning a functioning fan.

A table fan that quietly and effectively cools an entire room without any blades? Introducing the Dyson Air Multiplier, which works differently from conventional fans. The Air Multiplier uses an airfoil-shaped ramp to amplify the airflow 15 to 18 times to create a cool blast of smooth air without the unpleasant buffeting caused by spinning blades. The energy-efficient motor draws in more than 5 gallons of air per second using the same technologies used in jet engines. The air passes over the airfoil-shaped ramp, which channels its direction. Air behind and around the machine is also drawn into the airflow, amplifying it at least 15 times for a quiet, cool breeze that will let you relax. With no blades or grille to get in the way, the Air Multiplier is safe around kids and pets, and it's easy to clean too. The touch-tilt feature pivots on its own center of gravity, letting it stay put without clamping. You can also adjust the airflow to get as much as you want. There's no "high," "medium," or "low"; the dimmer switch lets you set the exact power level you want. The Air Multiplier oscillates with a touch up to 90 degrees to cover a whole room. Includes base, loop amplifier, and operating manual. 2-year warranty. Measures 19.5 x 12 x 6 inches with 10-inch loop.

Got this unit about a month ago. Waited a while to write review because the unit is so silent I wanted to make sure it actually does something. I put it in the single car garage because it is connected to the kitchen where family spends most of its time and we all have been complaining about toxic smells and other related stuff. Well, since we've started using the purifier, all odors and related issues have completely disappeared!! So kitchen, garage and car all smell and feel clean and healthy. By the way, I keep the car windows rolled down so that the inside of the vehicle benefits from the purification as well! Great unit, great performance, an absolute must have!

Austin Air Healthmate Jr Replacement Filter w/ Prefilter - Black Review

Austin Air Healthmate Jr Replacement Filter w/ Prefilter - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These filter replacements are very easy to install. You just turn the machine upside-down, unloosen 4 screws and remove the cover. Then pull out the dirty filter and pre-filter and discard in a plastic bag, wipe out the interior with a damp cloth and put in the new filter and pre-filter. It took me about 5 minutes to complete the whole operation. These filters are supposed to last 5 years but I use it in a room that is quite dusty and find that 3 years is about right. It still is cheaper than filters I've used in the past that had to be replaced more often.
I bought the Austin Healthmate Jr. about 5 years ago when I was looking for a HEPA filter and have been happy with it. The three things I like best about it are that you don't have to buy filters very often because you can vacuum the outside of the filter and that it's relatively quiet. The other thing is that it takes air in on all four sides and blows the filtered air out through the top area. It seems to do a good job of filtering the air. It's more energy efficient than air purifiers I've used in the past and it has 3 speeds which is nice.
If you use it in really dusty conditions like mine, you can replace the pre-filter more often than the big filter. I've found this type of material that I could cut to fit at a local hardware store. You get a pre-filter with it. You have to take it apart to replace the pre-filter and filters, but it isn't difficult. You can turn off the machine and vacuum it from the outside and that seems to help the filters last longer. Of course, you'll want to use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter or you defeat the purpose. I replace mine about once a year, but I think the average person could go much longer.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I don't really have any way of measuring how good of a job it does, only that it seems to do a good job in terms of allergies, odors, etc. There are so many air filters out there and so many claims, that it's hard to sort them out. But if I had to buy a filter for another room, I would probably buy this brand again.

Essick Air 1051 AirCare Filter Review

Essick Air 1051 AirCare Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This hangs on the back of the Essick/Bemis unit. I buy about one for every heating/humidifier season.
It WILL cut down on the amount of dust and crud entering the back of the unit and contaminating the saturated wick that is used to humidify.
As you well know with this unit, the cleaner and better quality the wick unit (1041) is, the better the unit will humidify.
It's not designed to be like a vacuum cleaner and suck particulate matter out of the air, but it WILL prevent air-borne particles from contaminating the wick unit and for that reason, I think it's worthwhile.
Additional: If you have seasonal allergies like I do, I found running the humidifier in the spring helps lessen them. Now while another reviewer says they found no cat hair on the filter, compare the relative size of the pollen allergen to a cat hair. Frankly I don't have cat hairs flying around a foot or more above the floor, either...
Yes, this is an 'optional' AIR PURIFYING FILTER per the manufacturer, but if you suffer from seasonal allergies, then you'll know why this is important...
As a hint, change your wick element OFTEN, but one of these may last you all season...

Room cools a 15 x 20 ft. room plus attached bathroom nicely. I am in a fairly dry desert climate and it is cheaper and more effective than A/C.
Need to refill every day or two with a couple gallons of H2O and it also has an ICE TRAY you can add ice cubes to that helps cool a little more.

Hamilton Beach TrueAir Odor Eliminator Review

Hamilton Beach TrueAir Odor Eliminator
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item after reading about a million reviews about all different types of odor eliminators and I have to say it works amazingly!!
I purchased this particular one because it didn't have a night light. It was shipped from Target.com and it arrived pretty quickly at my door!
I do use it in a very small area, but it still totally eliminates the litter box smell. I also purchased the Febreze Pet Odor Filters. I did find it confusing which Item Number for the filters to buy. I got 04284F and they fit perfectly.
The unit came with a filter already in it, but I used the Febreze one. I don't know if the original filter would work as well for the litter box, but I plan on using it once I've used the Febreze filters.
Some reviewers complained about the noise of the fan, but I do not find it too loud and the unit is right outside my bedroom door. Other reviewers complained about the size of the unit as well, but I don't find it hideous or too large either.
Also, if you plug the unit into the bottom of your outlet, you can still use the one on the top, which is a plus!
I will be telling everyone I know about this magic Odor Eliminator! I would highly recommend it for anyone with a litter box in a small area!!
