Rocky Mountain Air RMA3500-CHO Summit 7-Stage Home

This is the best air machine for the money I have ever purchased. I have one that cost twice as much and doesnt do as good of job. The reviews suggest Blue Air,etc.which cost a lot more. I havent seen any reviews on this one but can tell you it is worth every penney.

Hunter 30936 Replacement

I am quite surprised by the fact that I was shipped ONE filter. The item description lead me to believe that this item was in a 3-pack. (Perhaps when it said Item Package Quantity: 3) So after the initial shock of realizing that my $60 went to purchase ONE filter instead of THREE I was quite annoyed.

The only reason I purchased this was because I thought it was a great price, it turns out it absolutely wasn't. Now, aside from that the filter is fine and as described. I chose not to return it because I didn't want to waste the money on shipping, and my old filter was getting quite dirty.

The filter is a hunter brand replacement, not a knock-off brand. (which at this point I would've preferred actually at the $60 price)

If you are reading this and do not see the "Item Package Quantity: 3" on the page and are wondering what in the world I am talking about then just know that the item description was probably fixed.

First time I have been burned by Amazon... Buyer Beware!

Comfort Zone CZAC5 Window Air Conditioner Cover

I knew it would be too big as my uniit is very small, but we are able to use it. I believe it is OK> Not much to say about an airconditioner cover. I won't really know how good it is till the season is over.

Whynter Eco Pure Room Air Purifier

My wife and I were looking for an air purifier/filter due to using an older wood stove (which is on the way out). We let this quiet purifier run for a week and barely noticed it was on and the place was noticeably cleaner in air quality.

Sharper Image Ionic Breeze 3.0 Compact Silent Air Purifier

I purchased this after an informercial. My warrenty was for 3 years. Lucky for me, since 14 months after receiving the unit it died with no warning.

The manufacture made me return it AT MY OWN EXPENSE and then they sent me a new unit. Took 2 months.

Well, the new unit arrived 8 days ago. It died an hour ago. I called the customer service and refused to pay to send it back AGAIN.

They ARE sending me out a new unit (again), but it will take up to 10 business days to receive. They agreed to send a pre-paid shipping label this time too. (Could take a month though.)

Meanwhile, I have nothing. After reading the reviews below, I could have kicked myself. I subscribe to the online version of Consumer Reports so did what another did...looked it up. Consumer Reports says this Ionic Breeze only "removes a few particles from the air", nothing else. They also did the test, as the infomercial showed, of putting the Breeze in an enclosed space with smoke and turned it on. It did NOT do what the infomercial said. It did not "power through smoke". It did nothing.

I am taking the advice of Consumer Reports. I am refunding my money on the Breeze and purchasing "the high-scoring Friedrich C-90A and Whirlpool AP45030HO models" which DOES work...and work well.

Avoid the Ionic Breeze unit, for the home AND/OR the car.

18x20x1-MERV 12 A/C Furnace Air Filters by Nordic Pure

I am very pleased with the filters, and with the service provided by the supplier. I will be ordering them again from Nordic Pure when I run low. They are MERV 12 which, since my baby granddaughter has just been diagnosed with asthma, was my primary reason for changing brands.

Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Rewind Upright Vacuum

I previously had a Hoover Windtunnel, it lasted two houses and over 9 years and it finally had enough of keeping up with our two children and 4 pets. So I went out to every website I could find with reviews on vacuum cleaners, including Amazon, and looked at everything from the Dyson, Kenmore, Dirt Devil, Hoover, and so many more. I promised myself that after I used my vacuum cleaner for 3 months I would help all those out there like me looking for a good review and let them know about my experience because the reviews were so helpful to me.

So after reading a bunch of reviews I was leaning towards a Dyson or a Kenmore Progressive. Well my friend had a Dirt Devil M140005 Vision Cyclonic 12 Amp Upright Vacuum Cleaner, a Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum, and a canister vacuum cleaner (forgot the brand) that she let me test out. Let's just say I hated all three, the Dirt Devil was a joke, the Kenmore was so heavy and a pain to use, the canister was a pain to use and none of them worked well with pet hair.

So then I went to a local store and looked at the Dyson DC 23 Motorhead and really considered paying over $400 for it. But then I looked down the aisle and there not too far down from it stood the Hoover UH70120 WindTunnel and it was only $100 so I decided to give the Hoover a try thinking if I wasn't satisfied I could take it back. I am so happy that I saved $300 and love how well my Hoover works. It sucks up pet hair off the furniture very well, I have hardwoods throughout my house and it picks up fur and dirt off the floor without blowing it around (the suction is great) and I only have 3 complaints but ya know for the price I can live with them. Complaint #1 I wish the powered hand tool stuck on a little bit better to the vacuum cleaner, if I am not careful to put it on correctly it falls off, so I need to be a little more careful, Complaint #2, empting out the canister can be a little bit dirty so I always do it outside and then it's fine, Complaint #3, I love the retractable cord, I just wish it were up a little higher instead of so low, it would just help keep it from going under the vacuum cleaner but, there is a little clip and if you clip the cord to the vacuum cleaner you don't have to worry about it going under the vacuum cleaner so problem solved.

So I say save your money instead of wasting it on a Dyson or a Kenmore for the price this vacuum cleaner is so worth it.

RSVP International Endurance Endurance Jumbo Compost Pail lARGE 1.5-gallon Size

I was looking for a pail that was attractive enough to sit on the counter but large enough to reduce the trips to the compost bin (I have the compostumbler...highly recommended). I had a ceramic pail before but found it too small and heavy, and a hassle to clean. This one works well, and would get 5 stars were it not for the fact that the lid doesn't seal. I don't know if that's a design problem or if I just got a bad one, but it's a problem because it allows tiny fruit flies to get in. But I haven't seen another one this size, so I'll stick with it.

Aerus /Electrolux Style C Paper Bags

Recently my mom ran out of bags for an old vaccum cleaner. She hadn't bought bags for it in years, the last time she did Amazon probably only sold books. The last time she did the only place around that sold them was a vaccum cleaner store, and the bags were not cheap. When we found these here for only about 50 cents each, we couldn't pass up the deal. They fit and worked perfect, at a fraction of the price she used to pay!

New Comfort 6 Stage Air Purifier Cleaner Hepa Uv Ozone Covers 3000 Feet Acyrlic

I bought this little unit when we were moving into a home with previous mild mold issues, as it claimed to cover an area well over the size of our new home. I thought the price was good for a unit offering UV light and an ionizer. However, after one month of operation, I decided to send it back. First, there was very little air passing through the unit even when the fan was set on high, and I even noticed dust collecting on the front grill where clean air was to exit. It had no impact on cooking and other smells in the home, and I was concerned about the use the ozone function around our large family and pets. I did try the ozone function once in the basement when it developed a musty odor after rainfall, and it did clear the air quickly. It appears to me that the unit only meets its claims with the ozone function in operation, but unfortunately, it is not safe to use in this manner when the room is occupied. For a large family, it was not practical. In addition, the acrylic casement was impractical, as it meant that it could never be used in a bedroom at night, unless you wanted the room aglow in neon light due to the UV bulb. I did like the size and its quietness.

Dirt Devil F8 Type Filter

I prefer buying this online. To go to the store and hope they have it in stock is just a pain. The price at the store is more than I would pay online plus shipping. This is a wonderful product. I will continue buying it from Amazon. Thank you. Sherrie Siemons

Hoover Windtunnel MultiCyclonic Bagless Canister

Pros:

Good suction power.

Long self retracting cord.

Transparent dust canister makes it easy to see when it's full.

Motorized brush head.

Easily detachable dust canister. Be sure to empty outside to minimize returning dust into the home.

Pivot head on vacuum head works well allowing you to orient in almost any direction.

Neck is adjustable in length.

Weight is mostly in the base unit and not the head to facilitate maneuverability, though the head has some weight due to the electric motor that drives the brushes.

Most of the switches can be operated with your foot. The only switch that is hand controlled is the switch for the spinning brush head.

Cons:

Base unit is still pretty heavy for a vacuum and it is rather wide so you can't sit it on a stair when you are trying to vacuum a flight of steps.

Dometic Breathe Easy Portable Air Purifier

I live on a boat........A very big boat. I recently had to have both heads completely pulled out and installed new toilets and hoses...etc.

When I came by to see how the repairs were going I notice there was no odor. The repairman had the "Dometic Breathe Easy" plugged in. I now own the Breath Easy and it runs 24/7. It keeps my boat smelling fresh, no more of the common smells from cooking and salt water sea cocks, heads....etc.

I recommend this product to everyone. It really works.

PetClean Tower Air Purifier

I recently added three (abandoned) cats to my household. I now have five cats in a small condo.I have 4 litter boxes and use premium litter,zero odor litter spray, scoop twice daily and do complete litter changes twice weekly.

I have a lot more cat hair ,litter dust and lingering litter odor in my home with the additional cats.So I had been looking into purchasing an air purifier to improve the air in my home.

I was excited to see this product in my local Target. The name of the product "PETCLEAN AIR" and the wording and pictures on the carton stating this was an air purifier for pet owners convinced me that this was the unit for me!

The unit is off white in color and looks nice out of the box.It uses replaceable HEPA TYPE filters and replaceable carbon type pre-filters.It also has an ionizer feature that can be turned off if desired. (NOTE: I have successfully used a stand alone ionizer in my cat area in the past so I liked this feature)

The unit has three speed settings.I found the high setting to be very loud.On the high setting this unit blows a lot of cool air...This would be hard to deal with in the winter but pleasant in the summer.It does not power oscillate but you can manually adjust it.I would have tolerated that had this machine been effective.The medium setting is nice and barely noticeable but I feel that it's too weak of a setting to properly clean the air.The low setting is barely audible and very weak.

I left this on high for three days and noticed no change in the scent of my home.I have a small place and used this in my living room (too loud for bedroom) I did notice a slight reduction in the dustiness of my home.

Overall, this unit disappointed me. As a pet owner I was excited to see an air purifier supposedly designed for my situation.This unit does not deliver on it's promise to reduce pet odors in the home. I would not recommend this unit to other pet owners looking to improve the air quality in their homes.

Oreck Air Purifier Revitalizer

I got one of these about five years ago when my daughter got a ferret. It never did anything for the odor. The light that is supposed to light up when the unit needs to be cleaned, never did. I cleaned the unit monthly and there was a lot of dust on the filters, but I could still see a lot of floating dust in my 12'x15' living room. Maybe I expected too much. It still works, although it is now so noisy it gets turned off whenever anyone is in the room.

Honeywell Long-Life Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier

As someone who is highly allergic to cigarette smoke and other air pollutants and irritants, I purchased a round Honeywell HEPA air filter when it first came on the market several years ago. It still works well in the living room, but it is quite noisy even on its lowest setting.

This year I purchased another Honeywell air cleaner with a HEPA filter (Model 17400) for my bedroom because I had contacted bacterial pneumonia last year and wanted to make sure I did not get it again. Next, I purchased this Honeywell 17000 Air Cleaner (with HEPA filter) for use in a smaller bedroom which has been turned into a home office and library.

These air cleaners really work! This winter I have not had a cold or flu. Also, this Honeywell Air Cleaner with HEPA filter is whisper soft, and I have had no problems with sleeping, working, reading, watching tv, or listening to music when it is running on the low and medium settings. I leave it on all the time, and I've found that it cleans the air best when the door is closed.

It has a convenient handle on the top, so I can move it to another room quite easily. Also, it is light enough that I can take it with me in the car if I want to use it away from home.

The prefilters last about 3-6 months, (and they can be vacuumed often if you have pets who shed). I change my HEPA filter every year, but you can wait 3 years to do so. These filters are easy to change. The Model 17000 is for a smaller room, and the Model 17400 is for a larger space.

Highly recommended for anyone who has pets, who lives with or entertains people who smoke, and who is allergic to dust, molds, or pollens.

Roadpro 12V Mini Air Purifier

Tested the negative ion output with my ion detector. My detector only registers anything above about 700,000 ions per cm3. My large, powerful home ionizer sets if off at almost 3 feet. However, this ionizer does not set it off even when the tester is nearly touching the emitter. So it's ion output at any distance, even a foot or two, is probably very low.

It certainly produces ozone. You can smell it if you put your nose to it. This would certainly reduce odors, and it also cleans the air. However, some people with bad asthma may be very sensitive to ozone.

In short, if you want the make the car smell fresher, it is good. If you want the benefits of negative ions, probably not going to get it with this device.

Eureka DCF-4 DCF-18 Washable & Reusable Long-Life Vacuum Filter

Was gonna buy new vacuum here on Amazon until this filter popped up on my suggestion list. I thought to give it a try since it's pretty cheap. My vac wasn't giving much suction at all. No amount of cleaning of the old filter was helping. Wasn't even picking up loose dirt anymore. After putting this filter in, the suction skyrocketed to brand new power again. From not being able to pickup loose dirt to actually lifting up ~heavy objects again depending on its shape and "grab-ability".

Febreze Candle Apple Spice & Delight Air Freshener

Don't know what's happened to the Febreze candles but the last two orders I have received have been a big disappointment. The wicks are not centered and the candle on burns halfway down and the the wick is gone. This is certainly no fault of

Amazon since they don't make the candles. Guess I'm gonna have to switch to Glade candles and give them a try.

Essick Air Products HDC12 Humidifier Wick Filter

  • 1 PKG

These filters are not great by any means, but they do what they are supposed to do. Of course, we've found that it is very important to use the right bacteriostat with the filters. We bought some Sunbeam bacteriostat water treatment for humidifiers at our local Home Depot, and I swear that they just put purified water in the bottle! Once we started buying the Essick Air bacteriostat water treatment, our filters lasted much longer, and didn't get that musty/fishy smell to them.

Essick Air 826-800 2-Speed Evaporative Console Humidifier

Great product, at least in comparison. I've tried many smaller units that should have kept my two room apt. (according to claims) here in the remote northeast satisfactorily humid, i.e. 35% or so. None of them did; in fact they all sent the gauge to unreadably low levels, below 20%. This Bemis 800 space saver keeps humidty at about 40% for at least 2 months, after which the it slowly declines as the wick deteriorates. I replaced the wick for the first time this winter on Jan 22. Not bad. Seems as if it will be a two wick winter.

As to noise. I keep the Bemis on low, and it runs 24/24 during the driest months. It is quieter than any of the other units I've used. It's not silent but it is certainly not disturbingly loud. I'm picky about noise and humidity as I play guitars. I've never turned it on high so I can't comment on the noise at that setting.

I fill it once a day with about 4 gallons of water. It comes with a 3 or 4 foot hose that attaches to a sink faucet. I keep the Bemis in the kitchen. Sometimes I roll it to the sink, sometimes I fill it with a pitcher. It is much easier to fill than the smaller units I've owned.

I have only one minor nit to pick with the unit. The fan housing is a little tricky to remove (or rather to put back correctly). One needs to remove it to change the wick. Tricky because the base is basically one large square bowl and the plastic sidewalls bow when the top is removed. When replacing the top, it is essential that it fits snugly into the base and placement becomes the tricky part due to the bowed in sides. It's not a terribly big deal but it's a bit of a pain. (When not placed correctly the unit rattles and the suction through the wick isn't as good).

By the way, my unit is the non digital version. I've had trouble with other digital humidifiers so I went for the less expensive mechanical version this time. The digital units cycle on and off constantly when the humidity reaches your chosen setting. Annoying, and can't be good for the motor.

The Bemis is definitely worthy, I'm very happy with it.

Sunpentown CL-851 Professional 850-Watt Juice Extractor

If your looking for the best in value, performance,and liability, look no further. I've had several juicers,& lemons. The shute Sunpentown CL-851 Professional 850-Watt Juice Extractor is wide mouth so very little slicing if any is needed. More than enough power with this 850-watt. The extractor filter is all stainless steel, no plastic to discolor or break. Clean up is a breeze also. I wash by hand except the extractor filter which gets put in on the top rack of the dishwasher. Quiet too. You'll love also the juice jug included too.
