Hoover Air Purifier with TiO2 Technology - WH10600 Reviews
This review is from: Hoover Air Purifier with TiO2 Technology - WH10600 (Kitchen)
The other reviews are very thorough. Just want to add a note that they are accurate.
We've had ours for a week now and it works great. Leaving it on low does a nice job of keeping our bedroom pure... well, the air at least...
Like someone else mentioned, the lights are rather bright on the control panel. We cover the top of the unit with the user manual at night to block the light.
One note for those comparing this one with the WH10400 model... the lower model does not have the auto-mode for the fan speed, does not have the fancy display, and it also does not have a remote. I almost bought the lesser model... but the auto mode pushed me over to buying this one. Its also interesting to see the display change color if the air quality is not great.
If you are looking to buy an air purifier, I would highly recommend this one.
UPDATE July 1, 2011 - purifier still works great... I've rinsed the foam dust filter on the back several... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program( What's this?)
I've been wanting another air purifier for a while now. I had several Sharper Image purifiers and one Rabbit Air. I still like the Rabbit Air but always wished it had a UV bulb inside. But my Sharper Image purifiers have been collecting dust and sitting unused ever since they started acting up -- crackling, popping and making all sorts of annoying noises that no amount of cleaning can seem to remedy. Well, thanks to this Hoover, I finally got to toss out that old Sharper Image junk! I'm still using the Rabbit Air, but do consider this Hoover to be the better of the two.
Things that make you go DUH!
It wasn't until I got this home that I realized this Hoover Purifier is the same brand as the vacuum people -- DUH! Well, that little insight made me even happier about getting this unit. It's only natural that the people who make some of the best vacuums are now making one of the best air purifiers I've tried. I guess now they're in the business of vacuuming... Read more

The CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) apparently is only listed on the box the unit comes in. I couldn't find it even on Hoover's website. They probably are doing this because the numbers are very low: Smoke - 51, Dust - 84 & Pollen - 79. I believe the CADR numbers aren't useful numbers with UV and Ionization functions - those are things that can't be accurately tested by CADR testing? But those CADR numbers are so very low for a true HEPA filter. For people who are allergic to smoke, dust or pollen - the higher the number the better.
Another thing is the square feet this unit is certified for - 79 square feet. That's it? I thought that might have been a typo. That is a pretty small room - slightly smaller than a 10x8 room.
The indicator lights & LCD panel are extremely bright! They could probably have saved a few watts of electricity by dimming them down a bit. If you have it in your bedroom you are going to need to cover them up.
The HEPA air purifier is 99% efficient at reducing airborne particles such as dust, tobacco, smoke, pollen, cat dander, and mold spores from the air that passes through it. Plus, the independently, controlled ionizer delivers extra cleaning power and helps freshen the air. Odor Lock filter technology helps remove common household odors while Protec antimicrobial treatment helps prevent the growth of mold and bacteria on the filter. An electronic filter indicator is also included to remind you when to replace the filter. This air purifier fits great on a tabletop and is designed to be placed in a horizontal or verticle postion to fit in even small spaces. Recommended for small rooms. 3 speeds. AHAM certified. Recommended room size: 10' x 10' room (110 sq. ft.) AHAM CADR rating: 70. Refer to model
This review is from: Honeywell 16200 Desktop HEPA Air Purifier (Kitchen)
Pros:
-size, very compact
-can be placed horizontally or vertically to save space
-does a very good job of removing particles from the air
-ionizer removes odors
-price, try to find an air purifier/ionizer for under $40
Cons:
-fully effective for rooms 110 square feet or smaller
-noise level (at low it is slightly noticable, on medium you have to turn up the tv a few notches, on high it sounds like a fan or air conditioner on full blast)
For the price, it does a terrific job in smaller rooms with the only drawback being the noise (which on low is very bearable). I leave it on high all day while I'm at work, switch to medium in the evening and low at night and it does the trick.

I've owned this air purifier for about 7 years now. Keep in mind any air purifier that has a high output fan and is highly efficient and is going to move a significant amount of air is going to have some fan noise. Don't buy this or any high output fan-based purifier thinking it is whisper quiet.
The only way to get around this is to have a whole-house central-air purifier where the mechanics, fans and motors are in the garage and the duct work is throughout the house. This would be the only way to eliminate noise completely and still have a high output air purifier.
---- Pros ----
The price is affordable. Check around for the best price. I've seen it at Home Depot for $39.99. At that price you can buy two of them for a medium to large room!
The product is small, and compact enough to sit on a counter, bookshelf, table. The looks are appealing and sleek and it tends to blend in well with the surroundings.

I purchased two of these little units and I must say they are definately a bargain at this price.Most importantly though they really do the job.You can check the black liner a few days later and you will be amazed how much this little purifier sucks out of the air.I live in Ny and my home gets plenty dusty no matter how much I clean.This has helped my family breath easier.I am going to purchas a third on now,so I thought I would just share my experience while here.P.S. filters only need to be bought every six months thats a pro...cons only one...can be a little noisy if you are used to having complete silence in your home....to me the clean air is worth it!

Seven Types of Filtration for Cleaner Air Whether you need to remove allergens or odors from your home or office, the Intelli-Pro is up to the task. While other air purifiers use two or three types of filtration, the Intelli-Pro Air Purifier uses seven: a HEPA filter, an activated carbon filter, an ionizer, a photocatalytic (TiO2) filter, a germicidal UV lamp, a washable pre-filter, and an electrostatic dust collector.
The Intelli-Pro's HEPA filter is proven in clinical air chamber tests to remove 99.97% of airborne particles in areas up to 600 square feet. The activated carbon filter is effective against chemicals, odors, and cigarette smoke, and the UV lamp kills bacteria and other microorganisms. The Intelli-Pro's reusable collector grid uses magnetic force to trap pollutants and help lengthen the life of the other filters.
Sensor Technology Removes Guesswork With the Intelli-Pro, there's no guesswork, just clean air. The Intelli-Pro's unique self-monitoring system gives you instant, easy-to-read feedback about the purifier's performance. A Clean Air Monitor uses indicator lights to let you know how clean or polluted the air is. Additionally, odor, dust, and allergen sensors tell you exactly which pollutants are present in the air, an ideal feature for those with allergies.
And thanks to the Intelli-Pro's Filter Indicators, you'll never have to worry about forgetting to clean or replace the filters. The indicators illuminate when it's time to clean the metal dust collector plate or replace the HEPA filter or activated carbon filter.
Quiet, Efficient Operation The Intelli-Pro lets you enjoy purified air without noise pollution. The quiet setting provides nearly silent operation, while the high setting provides boosted performance without a lot of noise.
As efficient as it is quiet, the Intelli-Pro has a low-volume fan and multiple air inlets for maximum airflow. Additionally, sensor technology automatically adjusts the purifier's settings to reduce energy consumption.

If you decide to keep it, the Intelli-Pro is backed by a three-year warranty on defects in materials and workmanship.

This review is from: Surround Air XJ-3800 Intelli-Pro Air Purifier (Health and Beauty)
A little research pays off! This was my first air purifier purchase. Originally, I was going to buy an ionic one. But, I was amazed once I started researching how little I knew!
In case you're in the same boat, Here's the criteria I ultimately set, ratings for this model on the criteria, and my experience with it:
CRITERIA #1: Must noticably reduce our allergies, clear smoke and odors: 5+ Stars! Have had it two months with a smoker, a hairy dog, and allergy season in full bloom. Reduced allergies and no breathing problems at home since we got it. Noticable quick removal of odors and smoke!
(NOTE: More power than I even intended. You may be able to get a cheaper model if you don't want all this one has: A) Electrostatic/Ionic- attracts pollutants from a wide area, but not odors and allergens B) Carbon - clears smoke, odors and pollutants but not germs and allergens C) HEPA - traps even the smallest of allergens, but nothing...

Given that there weren't many reviews out when I bought this purifier, I figured I'd take a minute and give a brief review of it after having used it for a few weeks.
Out of the box:
It's a very lightweight machine that has a very elegant/professional look to it. The "Flow, Timer, and Power" buttons feel a little like cheap plastic, but it's really not a big deal, nor does it diminish the look of the purifier.
In Action:
When I first started it up, I heard a little bit of "static" noise coming from the ionizer, as it was possibly collecting the dust that was in the packaging that it was shipped in. Within a minute, that noise was gone, and it has been operating very smoothly and quietly for the last few weeks. I live in a house with central air, and the air quality is pretty good, but since I have bad allergies, I wanted to get a purifier. To be honest, I'm not sure if I can tell the difference, if any, it has made in improving the air... Read more

It's bigger than it looks in the pictures: Stands about thigh-high. This put me off at first...but then I plugged it in. First impression: It's not doing anything.
After two days: I want to have it's babies.
I have allergies...miserable miserable allergies, and I just moved back to maryland during the worst allergy season I've seen in years. To a house with three smokers. And Two Dogs. And Two Cats. This house has clutter (re: dust) and mold and four plants in the livingroom and old carpets. It has old furniture and crummy filters but it DOES have ceiling fans!
This house is allergy hell.
and this purifier?...Ah...I swear I can breathe again. It cleans up the air (auto setting rocks!) of the entire 500 sq/ft first floor from *awful* to *clear* in roughly 20 minutes, and if it's running constantly, it never gets intolerable. In fact, it barely ever gets to worse than "do you smell something?" for more than a minute or two,... Read more

Low CADR ratings - only for small rooms - really bright,
