Rocky Mountain Air RMA3500-CHO Summit 7-Stage Home
Hunter 30936 Replacement
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!

Sharper Image Ionic Breeze 3.0 Compact Silent Air Purifier
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.

Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Rewind Upright Vacuum
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.

Dirt Devil F8 Type Filter
Hoover Windtunnel MultiCyclonic Bagless Canister
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
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 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
Honeywell Long-Life Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier
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.

The Sharper Image Brethe Air Cleaner
Roadpro 12V Mini Air Purifier
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.

Essick Air Products HDC12 Humidifier Wick Filter
- 1 PKG
Essick Air 826-800 2-Speed Evaporative Console Humidifier
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.
