6 Inch Hydroponic Inline Air Carbon Filter Odor Control

the one i received doesn't look like the picture. the bottom, despite the product description, is capped with sheet metal. i'm not sure what i received really. it could be cheap and ineffective; how am i to know? no label on the product. the box has X3069 on it. but that doesn't tell me anything. really strange purchase. a relatively blank box arrives at my door w/ out a packing slip, invoice, or product labeling. would not recommend purchasing mystery items...

i'm beginning to see a trend with Amazon sellers selling (or what i call 'dumping off') what appear to be not-as-pictured or used/slightly scratched stuff. just got a nextgen 400/600 ballast that looks used. 2 very dissappointing purchases in a row.

Dyson DC24 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I bought the dyson dc24 all floors vacuum factory serviced at abc Vacuum Warehouse. The item was shipped same day I ordered it and arrived on time. The vacuum is just about new and comes with a six month warrenty from Dyson and 21/2 years from Abc Vacuum warehouse. The appliance runs well the only thing is that the cord is too short and you will probably need an extension. all in all I am a satisfied customer.

3M Filtrete Ultra Clean Air Purifier

I spent a great deal of time comparing different purifiers: cost, performance, ease of use, noise, filter replacement, etc. This unit is superb in every respect. The unit is large but is very handsome and blends in well with the room. It has a very smooth fan that is not too loud but but you can really feel it move the air. There is one filter to replace and they are not terribly expensive and easy to find. In short, I think this unit really meets my needs while being fairly inexpensive and, over the past 6 months, 100% reliable.

IQAir® HyperHEPA® Filter

I have used the IQ Air brand filters in my Health Pro Plus for years now, but with all the recent issues with the bad smell and out gassing coming from some of the IQ Air HEPA filter I am giving this product only 3 stars. Being unsatisfied with the product, I started looking for an alternative filter manufacturer.

I found a filter manufacturer in New York (USA) that builds filters for the aerospace and medical industry. They now carry a full line of replacement filters for Health Pro and Health Pro Plus. The filters are housed in an aluminum housing (not Styrofoam like the IQ Air ones), they are exceedingly well built and meet the same HEPA specifications as the IQ Air brand filters. The added bonus is that since they are built here in the USA they cost less. I highly recommend "HEPA Air Direct" filters as a high quality and cost effective alternative to the IQ Air filters.

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.

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.

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.

Black & Decker CHV7202 7.2-Volt Cordless Wet/Dry DustBuster

I've owned several B&D DustBuster's in my life including the original from the early 80's. Since that time, overall design, battery performance, and suction has improved -for the most part. They still all eventually die and therefore require replacement every few years.

Having great success with our impressively powerful 9.6V Dustbuster (model CHV9600, purchased in 2006), we picked up this 7.2V (model CHV7202) for the laundry room since it claims to be a wet/dry vac and I figured 7.2V would be close in performance to the 9.6V.

Boy was I wrong!

From Day One, the suction on this model was so poor, it couldn't even pick up tiny bits of dryer lint on the floor! Our 9.6V model could handle anything you could throw at (as long as the items fit through the opening). But this one? Not even close. To make matters worse, I mounted the charging unit on the wall only to find out that it's quite a challenge to actually "dock" the vac for charging due to it's poor design, so we almost never dock it. In fact, we now bring the 9.6V model upstairs to tackle the tasks that this one failed to do.

In short: I'm not sure who greenlighted this model over at B&D, but they should have been fired. Avoid this one at all costs and get the current 9.6V model (or above). We wanted to return ours, but we made this mistake of tossing out the box.

Surround Air XJ-3800SF Spare Filter

I LOVE my Surround Air but with a huge hairy dog and living in a rural area, the purifier gets a real workout. The purifier tells you when the filter needs to be changed when a light comes on in the front. I was a bit concerned when I ordered the filter because one reviewer said it didn't fit property. Thankfully that was not my experience. The filter was a perfect fit and a GREAT deal. I'm going to keep a spare at all times! Oh don't forget to reset the filter on the air purifier!!

NQ Clarifier Standard Air Purifier

My husband and his friend smoke alot and my house smells so bad that I have a problem being in it.

Some days there was even a fog in the room due to smoke.

This machine takes the smoke out and the smell as well.

We have had it a short time but so far I am pleased.

SoleusAir 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Pro's:

This unit definitely blows some cool air! It worked out of the box with me,

I bought it very affordable! $300 is a nice price for a unit like this!

It's very slim, and is tall, about the same size as a water cooler cabinet with those 7 gallon water jars on top, like you see in offices; is slimmer than most AC units!

It has wheels underneath

Comes with an expandable hose, exhaust and window adapter, and a window plate to place in the window, when opening it slightly.

Performs better than most wall ac units I've had.

Has a timer, and sleep built in.

Cons:

It is quite heavy (heavier than I would have imagined for such a small device)

It is noisy, not too noisy, but about as noisy as those 1980's wall ac units. Too noisy for me to be used in the bedroom!

It blows air only from the front small window, to get 10K btu, it needs to blow air quite hard through the small front exhaust. This is definitely not a unit you want pointing to yourself, unless you're having a heat stroke!

This unit's exhaust blades do not swing, even if the remote has the option. But you can manually set it to blow air to left/right/up/down about 30-40 degrees max.

The remote seems to be from a more advanced model,as not only the swing does not work, but the fan speed can only be set from 1 to 3, even if the remote has 4 settings; as well as the 'heat' function does not work!!

The different fan speed settings are not that much different. At speed 1 it's already blowing hard, and there's very little difference between each increasing step. In any case they account for less than 3dB in noise reduction when switching fan speed.

The unit has a top and bottom air intake. Only the top air intake has a filter. This makes me wonder why even bother putting a filter in, as on the bottom it's most likely to suck in dust (they only equipped the top part with a filter).

Unit came in a very weak box!

The unit does not automatically (and completely) shut down after the temperature is reached, but continues to blow on fan. I guess it's made to operate energy efficiently, however they should have built in a function that will stop the fan,and turn on the device as soon as the temperature goes up a degree or two.

-Box is made so you won't be able to RMA it!!!! They even put in a letter not to RMA it, but call for help... Risky stuff if the item ends up not working!!

Other thoughts:

It works fine as an office cooler, but is slightly too noisy for the bedroom.

Some functions on the remote don't work, and the fan is blowing quite hard. Other than that, I'd rate this unit to be between 9000-10000 btu like manufacturers specs.

I only hope this unit will last!

Edit:

Unit failed after 4th attempt to turn it on!

I plugged it in a 4000W generator, and the AC system broke!

Fan still works.

Use this in your AC power (wall) socket only, not in generators 4000W or below!

Sucks, because I bought it just for that purpose, to be a replacement unit of my central AC.

No return possible, no RMA, no box to return it with!

Instead I'm stuck with this $300 overweight fan!

Hunter 30901 Replacement Pre-Filter

This is a review for the product I received from Bulkfilter.com, not the actual Hunter 30901 product which I would rate at five stars.

It didn't come in the Hunter box, which made me suspicious. Opening it, I found the weave much tighter than the Hunter product. This will reduce air flow. It is also thinner than the Hunter product, which will offset that slightly. The Hunter product makes little crumbs of activated charcoal, which this one does not, making it questionable whether it is an activated charcoal filter for odor control.

If they are selling a generic filter, they should note that and people can choose whether they want that or the Hunter product. They shouldn't call it a Hunter 30901, because it isn't.

These are made with Activated Carbon made with Zeolite/Volcanic Rock.

Metrokane Rabbit Wine Aerating Pourer

In these days of over-hyped products that rarely work as advertised, it's a treat to find something that actually does what it's supposed to do. Metrokane's Rabbit Wine Aerating Pourer is one that does, based on our family's experience. We've found it greatly improves the taste and drinkability of freshly opened red wines without having to decant them from the bottle, while at the same time being functional and easy to use. As an added bonus, clean up is a snap! We tried it out with members of our gourmet group and it garnered kudos from all concerned. Highly recommended!

Oreck Optimax Medium Room Air Purifier

I love this Oreck purifier!! I have 3 cats and 3 dogs. One of my dogs is very old and another is a puppy, they both have accidents on my wood floors. My house started smelling like a kennel, even after mopping. After I started running the Oreck 24 hrs. a day, there is such as difference, not even a slight odor in the air (Even after the house has been closed up all day long and I come home to little puddles). It's very attractive and quiet on the lowest setting, and thats all I need to reduce the the odor in my large open plan living room/dining room. My sister loves how it worked in my house and purchased one and placed it next to her daughter's rat cage, what a difference this product has made for those of us who live with our animal friends!

HumidiHeat 3%2Din%2D1 Heater Humidifier

I have had this heater for over a year and it helps heat up my entire downstairs because of the fact that it uses warm air with the water feature. I have gone through tons of different heaters that half the time I am lucky if it heats up a room, this one heats up my living room, kitchen, dining room and a half bath plus the heat goes up the stairs and helps to keep that area warm too. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a heater that really works.

Honeywell Universal Carbon Air Purifier Replacement Pre-Filter

When we got our Honeywell air cleaner, it came with one carbon pre-filter and we were immediately impressed by how quickly the air smelled fresher once we started running our Honeywell 50250. We knew we would need to replace the carbon pre-filter every couple of months and so we ordered these. When it came time to change the carbon pre-filter, I pulled the first one out of the box and I immediately noticed it did not look like the carbon pre-filter that came with our Honeywell. And it did not give us that fresh air smell after running it. I don't know why, but these aren't as good as the carbon pre-filter that comes with the air cleaner.

Surround Air XJ-3000C Multi-Tech Air Purifier

Had my 'c' model for a bit now and I am very happy, the bedroom is definitely clearer and I am waking up much more refreshed and less congested. The unit is well built and quiet. I researched the difference between the 'c' and 'e' model and found they are identical except the 'c' has an added feature which is an ionizer booster control. The 'c' was only slightly higher in price, less than ten bucks, and I liked that feature so I chose the 'c' model. I shopped around on the internet and found the price range was large, with this price from Amazon being in the middle, I actually found the unit for 108 and it arrived in 2 days! Shop around a bit and you will save even more. Looks like Amazon has the edge on the replacement filter and UV lamp thoughbut they are designed to only be replaced yearly with everyday use.
