Honeywell HFD-100 Tower HEPA Air Purifier

This does a good job of cleaning the air. I breath better with it. That is the most important thing, right?

I bought two, *but my wife turns the one in the living room off when she gets up before dawn*. I have to remember to turn it back on. Low or high speed this thing can be heard. Low is not really any quieter, but probably less effective.

This is basically Honeywell's souped up answer to Ionic Breeze. Its noisy because the ionic cleaner is built around a tower fan and a new type of cleanable IFR filter is added. Its a much better value than the Ionic Breeze, Oreck and similar models. I just wish that it was quieter!!!!!

After one month, I saw some dust in the filter and cleaned it. These put out plenty of negative ions, which are great for chasing the blues away and making dust particles fall to the floor for you to vacuum them up. You will see the dust on the flour, rather than breath it into your lungs!

As long as you don't mind WHITE NOISE, this is better deal that oreck or ionic breeze in my opinion. Its half the price and tested to do a better job.

This one has a built in tower fan. A verticle squireel cage, if you will. If they could just make the darn thing less noisy it would be perfect!!!

210 Bionaire Electret Air Cleaner Replacement Filter

This filter bears no resemblance to the original in my Bionaire, except for dimensions. It is much flimsier. Nor does it match Amazon's image. Nevertheless there aren't a lot of choices.

Sharp CV2P13SX 13,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Power hungry and loud but it will cool a small room for you.

The box says "library quiet" but its misleading.

The ion plasma filtration cannot be used at the same time as cooling.

I returned my unit and got a window unit.

The CV2P13SX is 13,000 BTU and the window unit I purchased is only 6,300 BTU but cools faster and is less noisy.

Also at 120 pounds and as large as a trash can its not really portable in my opinion. It does have wheels however and can be pushed into another room.

You still need a window for the exhaust hose which I think radiated alot of heat back into the room. I would suggested insulating it with fiber glass.

Shop-vac 901-07-19 Reusable Dry Filter

These filter cloths fit my small shop vac great. They were much less expensive here on Amazon than at my local hardware store. Only my local True Value carried these filters, which seem to be somewhat hard to find.

Vornado Evap2 Whole Room Evaporative Humidifier

Let me begin by saying that I spent many many hours researching online and looking at units in stores. I knew that I wanted a small unit that had both a humidi-stat as well as an auto function. I purchased this humidifier nearly three weeks ago and it has met and exceeded all of my expectations.

I noticed, during my research, many people experienced issues with unusual smells or leaky water containers. People, read the instruction booklet that comes in the box and have reasonable expectations of the hardware. This unit is solid, perhaps a bit noisy on the high setting. The unit will run for 48 hours before needing to be refilled. I use this overnight and the runtime is about 8-10 hour per on-time ans it's days before I need to refill the tank. Also, the manufacturer has a program that you can sign up for and they will send you replacement filters on the schedule of your choosing and free shipping. What a deal.

I would recommend this humidifier.

germguardian LB1000 Replacement Bulb

If you have the GG 1000 unit and the blue light gets dim or turns orange colored, time to buy a new bulb. Also make sure to use a can of compressed air to blow all the dust out of the unit when switching the bulbs. The bulb is very easy to replace. One screw on the back of the unit and the top pops off. Next time I will replace the bulbs BEFORE flu season! (lesson learned)

Eureka SuctionSeal Pet Upright Vacuum

I'm giving this 5 stars for the time being because it works very well, but I know vacuums decline over time (so my rating could change). I just received this Eureka vacuum in the mail today, and it works miles better than my previous vacuum, a Bissell. I'd had the Bissell for only about 6 months, and it had already quit on me. I thoroughly cleaned and washed all the filters, and it still wasn't working well enough to pull the dog hair out of our new rug (black dog hair and a cream colored rug, so the hair shows badly). So, I decided to replace the Bissell with a higher quality vacuum (the old one was only about $60, this Eureka is 3x the price, although I bought it on sale for $141). I've only used it once, but I'm pleased so far. It pulled ALL the dog hair out of the rug, and it looked very clean for a few hours (until my dog laid down and shed all over the place again.) I'm also pleased with the pet tool hose attachment, which is the first time I've had a brush tool that was actually able to remove all the dog hair from the couch. I've had many vacuums in the past, and none of them were able to get the hair out of the couch very well, but this one surprisingly actually does. I also really like the design of the vacuum base, because it is very slender and actually slides under the couch. I've also never owned a vacuum before that did this...it would always be too big, and I would have to use the hose to get under the front edge of the couch, but I don't have to do that any more!

My only complaint at the time is that the hose is a little awkward. It stretches kind of like a slinky and looks really cool and modern, but it doesn't stretch easily enough and the vacuum kept falling over when I was trying to use the hose. It's a silly little problem, that I fixed by moving the vacuum closer, but it was awkward. It's also large and heavy, but that's okay because small, lightweight vacuums tend to not work very well.

ETA: I wanted to add that it really does create a nice "suction seal" for each floor setting. I vacuumed again today, and first did my high pile rug, so I set it on "high carpet", and did a very good job. I moved onto my low pile rug, forgetting at first to change the setting, and it wasn't working very well. I was confused, but then I remembered, and changed it all the way down to "low carpet" which allows the bottom of the vacuum to suction itself right to the carpet, and it works very well. This is a feature I haven't seen in a vacuum before.

2nd ETA: I read the only other review so far (by Jodi C) and I wanted to comment on her review, since she reviewed the vacuum quite poorly. Yes, it is quite heavy, but I see weight as good quality. I hate really light flimsy appliances and electronics. I feel like this vacuum is built to last, where as my previous vacuum, which was very lightweight, was not. About the cord placement, I think she missed the hook for the cord on the handle. You hook it up there, and then it won't get in your way. I don't know what she's talking about with her attachments not working, it comes with three attachments, and I've used all three just fine. Mine fit onto my hose. Maybe she didn't put it together right....

Eureka Powerline Cyclonic Bagless Upright Vacuum

I've never reviewed a vacuum cleaner before. In fact, I never review any products, but my husband and I have been laughing all evening. I bought this vacuum cleaner the other day, after our Oreck died. We needed a lightweight vacuum to keep upstairs only, and since the Eureka Powerline was also fairly small, it was perfect for us. My husband vacuumed first and the canister was full. The amazing thing was though... we had JUST vacuumed the day before. We have short haired 2 cats and 2 short haired dogs. I took the Eureka downstairs and cleaned the living room, and again, the canister was FULL. We emptied it and went over the living room again, and again it filled up. That's when we realized how much dirt and pet hair our old vacuums had been missing! We've been cleaning with this like crazy ever since. The "power paw" attachment worked great on our couches, and it comes with a crevice tool that was really all we needed.

I know I sound like an infomercial, but I'm so impressed with this vacuum. We got a great deal on it and its better than any vacuum we've owned before.

pureguardian H1600 80-Hour Ultrasonic Digital Humidifier

I love this humidifier! My 3yr old daughter is always catching a cough or cold at school and I constantly use this in her room at night. It's worth the money. I have been through maybe 5 humidifiers since she was born, but I think so far this has been the best one. I was using the frog Crane before this one, which was good use for the price, but cleaning it was a task. If you are willing to spend a bit more , this is a good investment.

Oransi Ionic Fridge Air Purifier

The Oransi fridge air purifier works using a built in micro CPU that controls the purification cycle in the fridge. That sound impressive right! Especially since I have always used baking soda to help eliminate odors in the fridge. I was enthusiastic about trying this system. It uses two AA batteries that lasts for about 60 days. But I changed them to rechargeables. There is no filter to change and it's small enough to fit on the back of the shelf and not get in the way. Overall it works as promised. I put an onion on a plate and placed it in the refrigerator. It took about 2 hours and then the odor was diminished quite a bit. It did not eliminate the odor immediately but in a few hours it was gone! This product was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.Copyright© KatherinesCorner.com-for Amazon.com

Eureka AirSpeed® Pet Bagless Upright Vacuum

I have two big dogs who shed a lot, so I am very, very picky about my vacuum cleaners. Most I have tried have been disappointments, so when I find one that actually works, I'm excited to review it.

Like most modern vacuums, this model was easy to put together; it was up and running in 5 minutes. The first thing that struck me was the size: it's a smaller vacuum, with a full-size dirt canister. Yes! It's perfect for getting into smaller spaces and not as heavy to push. I don't know why most other vacuums have to be so gigantic and hard to manuever.

The suction is great! Got a ton of fur out of my carpet, even though I had vacuumed less than 24 hours previously. The dirt cup is easy to remove. It's a closed canister, so you take the entire thing off, walk over to the trash can, and open the bottom to empty it. Nice and neat. VERY easy to put back in place on the vacuum.

Another feature I absolutely love is the extra-long cord. I've never had a vacuum with a cord this long. Really! I can plug it into a central location and do multiple rooms. My only complaint is it's not retractable, so maybe minus 1/2 star for the tiny annoyance of having to manually rewind the cord.

Overall, I love this vacuum. It does everything a vacuum should do. Yay :)

Hoover Windtunnel Air Bagless Upright

I'll start this review by saying straight offI have two Dysons. I also have three birds, three cats, a six-year old child, a husband that telecommutes from home, a big garden, and a father that golfs on dusty courses and brings back a lot of sand and dirt, so our vacuums are put to work on a very regular basis. We vacuum several times a day.

The Hoover was actually a pleasant surprise. While it's not as powerful as the Dyson, it's not nearly as expensive.

Pros:

Suction is excellent. Gets up tons of cat hair, feathers, dirt, dust, litter, seed, etc.

Works great on rugs and bare floors. It's also really great at getting stuff up from the grout, which other vacuums can miss.

Very easy to empty.

Lightweight but not flimsy.

Easy to switch between modes.

Very few attachments to lose and deal with.

Not too noisy.

Long cord.

No bags.

The cons:

Doesn't navigate like the Dyson, but that's actually a pro in some ways. My mom has really bad arthritis in her hands and can't use the Dyson because of the way it navigates but she CAN use this. So for those with joint issuesthis can be a plus.

The hose assembly is a bit tricky. But that seems to be the case on ALL vacuumsone of our Dysons has a terrible hose assembly that requires way too much work to get the attachments on, so I think this might be another "across the board" issue.

As others have noted, sometimes pet hair can get wrapped around the cone inside the canister, and when you empty the vacuum you have to reach in and pull it out. Kinda gross.

All in all, it's a powerful vacuum. Not as powerful as the Dyson, but not as pricey or "fussy", either. I definitely recommend it for those who don't want or need a Dyson but want something powerful and easy to use and empty.

Holmes HAP9412B-U Small Room HEPA Type Air Purifier

have had this product for almost a year now. i purchased it on sale at Target for $40. I have not replaced the filter i just vacuum it out monthly and it is still performing very well. Its actually really gross how much dust this product removes from the air i breathe. The noise it generates (which isnt too loud) helps me sleep at night. I keep this thing running on high 24/7 because i have a dog that sheds (picks up his hair as well). the device has two filters the pre-filter which can be washed by hand (i spray some febreze on it to keep my room fresh. and then the regular filter. I would definetly recommend this air purifier.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!: another year has passed and i have changed the filter only once. Vacuuming it really freshens it up. I still leave it on high 24/7 only shutting it off once a week for an hour or so. The air purifier picks up so much dust and pet hair that it actually builds up on the outside part where the air intakes. All you need to do is wipe it down with a rag. Once again I HIGHLY recommend this air purifier and many of my friends have purchased this (seriously i should start selling them. people LOVE them as gifts too.) and they all love it so much. If you have a larger space they make a larger one too. My friend bought that and put it in her bead shop she owns and she says the place always smells fresh. Seriously though don't hesitate to get one.

CRYSTAL QUEST® Whole House Triple 10" x 5.0" Water Filter System

I bought this Crystal Quest 8 stage Triple device and have it connect to my whole house. the device is working fine have not decreased the water pressure at all (something that you need to be careful when selecting a whole-house water purifier.). I'm still confused with the filtering system and what and when I should buy filters. I was also happy with the seller "Up North Sales LLC". The unit was delayed by a few days so they emailed me and gave me credit even though I did not mind! I would shop from them again (next house or filters). *** I noticed that under product description, there's now a good description for the filters but I wished the had included the part numbers!

Lysol Professional Disinfectant Spray

My husband and I have been through local stores and purchased what retailers call 'flavors' or scents of products. Lysol has a number of scents; however, my husband wishes the pine scent was still made in a spray. I decided to try the Country Scent. He likes it! That's more than I can say for some of the other Lysol scents which are overwhelming and make him cough.

Lysol Disinfectant Sprays are always a solid buy and the ONLY scent product in our home. This one is 19 ounces and I keep one in each of our bathrooms and one in the laundry room, which is right off the kitchen. Remember door handles, mattresses, counter tops, and even the floor when I have cleaned up something like broken eggs and want to be double-sure there isn't bacteria residue.

The size is perfect, especially when you've got sick ones in the house.

The only reason this isn't a 5-star is because it doesn't come in pine scent.

Aprilaire 4040 - Humidifier 24V Water Solenoid Valve

The purchase experience was good. It took about a week to get the part and it appears that most of that time it was in transit. This is long but not a big issue.

There was no documentation that indicated that the valve had an input and output (i.e. flow direction). There also wasn't any indication that the valve can be mounted in either a left or right orientation. As it turns out, there is an arrow on the valve that indicates flow. Additionally, there is a screw on the side of the valve that allows it to rotate allowing either left or right mount.

In the end, this is a good product with nice features and better documentation would make this an EXCELLENT product overall.

Electrolux Ultra Silencer Deep Clean Canister Vacuum

I was in the market for a new vacuum. I had been buying cheap 60$ eurekas, that did the job on our 650 square foot apartment. The third one broke and decided it was time to just get a "good" vacuum. My family in the past had Electrolux and never ever had problems so I did a lot of research. Dyson has great marketing but when you get down to it they're just too expensive and for what?

I did a lot of amazon research and online research about which Electrolux to get, as there are so many. This one had all the best qualities for the price that I was willing to spend. I was twisting with anticipation for it to come and when it did I haven't stopped using it since. It is by far THE QUIETEST vacuum EVER. A friend was watching tv while I was vacuuming and there was no need to turn up the volume in the tv. The suction is outrageous! And the attachments all seem to be exactly what I need. The replacement parts like bags and filters are a little expensive, but... You get what you pay for. I will never not have an Electrolux in the future. I couldn't be happier.

Envion 90TP220TBK1W Therapure 220M Air Purifier

I'm giving this a good honest review because of the high cost of the item. It's a decent size for a bedroom the fan is fairly quiet and it really works well. After the first day I checked the filter and was amazed at how dirty it was which means it is working as it should. The color choices are a nice added touch. Can't tell if the uv light is actually doing anything but it is on. The air is cleaner and the fan creates a nice breeze to circulate the air. Over all I am very pleased with this product.

Kaz K14-3P Dynafilter Air Cleaning Replacement Cartridge

The entire concept seems like a scam. You plug this thing into the wall and it pumps out soothing, moisture-filled air that allows a congested person to rest easier. I laughed when I first read about them. But once again, my inner cynic was forced to admit error. These things help my children sleep when they have a cold. The filter replacements are easy to install and keep the entire apparatus free of mold and bacteria. I've been using the same Humidifier for over ten years, simply by keeping it clean and changing the filters regularly. I mock no longer.

Generic Dyson DC17 Washable Pre-Filter Assembly 911236-01

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.

Royal Sovereign 55 Pint Bucket Free Dehumidifier

I purchased two of these for use in a 1100 sq ft unfinished basement with dirt floors. I was getting a lot of moisture down there, and was attracted to this product since I wouldn't have to keep emptying both of them.

They're working pretty good, especially given the large area they are servicing. I wasn't sure what the recommended square footage was on these models, since the information doesn't appear in the product literature or on the manufacturer's website. Average humidity has dropped from 73% to around 45%. The pump function works well, although I don't have it pumping too high only about 2 feet high into a drain.

The one complaint I have is with the amount of defrosting that is going on. The temperature is around 60 degrees down there, but these units still have to constantly defrost, which diminishes it's efficiency. I thought I'd give them a "resting period" every few hours, but the timer function only allows switching off after a certain time period and not switching back on again and cycling on a daily basis. So I was going to attach them to an external electrical timer, but once they turn off at the power source, they do not turn back on again... you have to manually turn them back on if the power source is lost. I'd give this product 5 stars if the timer function allowed you to give the unit a resting period and then turn back on, or if they turned back on once the power source is lost so I can use an external timer.
