Thermax Mini Max (Large) Water Based Air Purifier/Air Freshener Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just bought one of these, and have had it running for two weeks now. Here is what you should know. First of all, it was fairly loud out of the box. But over the course of the first week, as the motor broke in, it became a little quieter each day. I was worried that it wasn't doing anything at first, because it really doesn't move much air. But it definately picks up a lot of crud out of the air. The 'clean' water will often become VERY cloudy over the course of 24 hours. The 'smell' addetives they include are not as critical as they make it sound. It cleans the air just fine with plain water. However, if I have company coming over, I may add a drop of the blue stuff just to help freshen up the room a little more.
I finally understand the weakness of a water-based air cleaner compared to the other types. The other ones you can just setup in some corner, and forget about it for weeks. That is not the case with this machine. Because water evaporates, you need to pay attention to this thing every day. Currently, the water goes down from the MAX line to the MIN line in about 24 hours, so I have to add or replace the water every day. I am also worried that this machine will not live very long. It seems cheaply constructed, and I am concerned it might stop working after a few months.
I bought it for a room in my house that honestly does not smell very good. I have tried cleaning it thoroughly, but that doesnt fix the problem. The smell does seem to have diminished quite a bit over these past two weeks that I have been running this machine.
I do recommend this to anyone who is looking for a low budget air cleaner, but with the understanding that you need to keep an eye on it's water level every day. Otherwise, don't bother buying it. It will not do you any good if all the water evaporates.
UPDATE July 2010: I have had this air cleaner running for about half a year now. It is still running. Although the noise level went down at first, it never comes close to being 'quiet'.
NEVER just add water to it. Always dump the water and put fresh water in. How this machine works is it sucks water up the small hole at the bottom of the spindle, and sprays it out the holes at the top of the spindle. The gunk it cleans out of the air will build up inside of the spindle. Eventually these dark clumps will break off and you will see them floating around inside the water, and they can plug up these small holes. You can reduce this problem by putting fresh water in each day insetad of adding water to dirty water.
Cleaning: The Spindle does NOT come apart, so cleaning the crud out isn't easy. I wouldn't recommend adding bleach or some other cleaning agent to the water. You wouldn't want poisonous stuff being spread into the air. I just do my best to clean the crud out of the spindle by blowing into the holes with an air compressor, or sticking small objects into the holes, like toothpicks or twist ties. It's not perfect, but thats about the best you can do without using chemicals.

LightAir IonFlow 50 Style Air Purifier Review

LightAir IonFlow 50 Style Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The LightAir IonFlow 50S Air Purifier is that rarest of finds; a product that is everything it claims to be and more. I have tried many air purifiers over the years with various results. I noticed over time that they fell into one of the following categories:
1. Essentially worthless- unable to do its job. Usually because of a poor design or by being underpowered.
2. Disposable- Quite a few air purifiers would be fine for a while and then lose effectiveness or stop working completely (usually within the 1st year of ownership). Typically the craftsmanship would be poor and the materials used would be cheap. Customer service would be a joke as well, so trying to fix one of these was a nightmare.
3. Overpriced- Very common category. The advertising would promise the moon, but the reality was that you were paying an extremely high price for mediocrity. Typically includes an ongoing cost for filters as well.
4. Esthetically Deficient- I mean seriously loud, ugly, huge, heavy, dirty, a hassle to clean, or all of the above.
I wish I had the patience to actually categorize each of the air purifiers I have tried so that you would stay away from them, but the best I can do is to say that the ONLY air purifier that I have ever owned that has done its job exactly as advertised while remaining totally silent, is easy to clean, has nothing to periodically replace and is actually stylish enough that many find it attractive is this one right here: the LightAir IonFlow 50S. Now that I have found it and put it to the test, there is no other air purifier that I would own. Period. It's in a category all by itself....Pound for Pound the Best Air Purifier on the market today.

Honeywell HAW500 HydraPure Air Washer 2-in-1 Air Purifier and Humidifier Review

Honeywell HAW500 HydraPure Air Washer 2-in-1 Air Purifier and Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
...or alternatively quality control issues. I had, like the previous review, a leaking problem. It's a sneaky problem which I am almost 100% sure of is related to the filling cap on the tank. The problem with the vertical tank is that the only thing that prevents too much water to enter the basin is the vacuum created in the tank when the water leaves it. If that vacuum is disrupted the water will just continue to flow into the basin until it overflows. In this case it's the cap that is not sealing properly. The seal gradually loosens over a couple of hours until something gives way and the water starts flowing out. So if the unit looks fine when you set it up you might wake up (hopefully) around 2 am in the morning with a wet floor. I am on my second unit now which seems ok but its being monitored closely and sits in a rubbermaid container until it proves its not a bed wetter anymore. I spoke with the distributer (Kaz) who claim that this model does not show any excessive amount of warranty claims. I am not sure if they would ever to admit to anything else though. Another potential issue I found is that the disc that are spinning inside the unit ([...]) are sometimes a bit mis-aligned. For instance one of the discs might be too close to the edge and generates a scraping noise. You can remedy this by just removing one of the discs from the axle.
Aside from these flaws I think the unit works great when in working order. The dics turn nice and quiet in the water basin and the fan is silent enough on the lowest setting. It keeps the humidity well and when it reaches the desired level it shuts off saving both electricity and on the noise levels. The unit can be set on continuous use which the manual calls "automatic". Unfortunately its not very specific about what that mode does, in my opinion it just seems like its permanently on regardless of the environmental humidity. This would be useful in the summer when the humidity is high enough for the unit to shut down but you still want to benefit from the units filtering qualities (pollen, dust, mold, etc.)
I like the fact that it has a washable filter that does not need exchanging. You have the option of an additional disposable coal filter to catch smells but its not mandatory.
The display is nice and crisp and with a pretty blue back light so it's easy to control in the dark should you need to. The display shuts off after a few seconds so you don't need to worry about that glare that some products create from persistent led's and back lights.
All in all its a good product (when working), but has some design/quality control issues that might want you to think twice, or at least make sure you have a good return policy if you are affected by these issues.

Sanyo ABC-VW24 Air Washer Air Purification System with Electrolyzed Water Technology Review

Sanyo ABC-VW24 Air Washer Air Purification System with Electrolyzed Water Technology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The thing I like best about the Sanyo Air Washer Purification System (besides that it does a great job of purifying the air) is that it has a nice sleek look to it and doesn't detract from the room decor. It has a handle built into the top, making it easy to carry (15.9 lbs.) and it's pretty quiet as air purifiers go. It has a 4-stage HEPA filter removes 99.97% of airborne particles and allergens. The other thing I really like is that the filters can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and are supposed to last for about 4 years. (You'd want to use a HEPA vacuum cleaner or you'd defeat the purpose.) I called customer service to ask about the price of replacement filters and they told me the suggested retail price is $69. That's pretty much in line with other filters I've researched. The customer service people were very helpful in answering questions about the unit which I count as a big plus.
I don't know if the electrolyzed water technology is just a gimmick or not, but the unit does a good job of cleaning the air and removing odors from any room that I place it in. There are several articles on the internet about electrolyzed water technology and electrolyzed water being used to sanitize water and possibly use it to kill bacteria in a number of applications including using it as a non-toxic way to clean fruits and vegetables in the food industry. It would make sense that it could be useful to kill bacteria and viruses in the air. With pets and all their dander, not to mention all the pollen and dust in the air this time of year, it gets a real workout around here. I hope that we find that we have fewer colds in the winter.
Just a few details that I didn't include in the video: I measured the watts that the unit takes at the low, medium and high speeds with a P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor device. At low speed it uses 4 - 8 watts (the higher number when it's emitting the electrolyzed water. You'll see that in the video.), on medium 13 - 17 watts, on high 57 - 63 watts, and if you use the "power" setting, 63 - 65 watts. This compares favorably with other air cleaners that I've used in the past or use now and it seems to work more quickly at removing odors.
BTW, another reviewer had mentioned that the "Device contains a chemical known to the state of Caifornia to cause cancer, birth defects, etc." Living in California I'm used to seeing these warnings on just about every piece of electrical equipment I buy due to the "Prop 65" laws here. Nonetheless, when I called Sanyo, I asked about this warning and what part of the unit had the chemical. As I expected it is the lead in the electrical cord connection, the same as my computer. When handling electrical cords it's always a good idea to wash your hands afterward.
I hope the video is useful. It's difficult to tell from a small photo what the unit looks like and I wanted you to have a better idea of how it worked and what it sounds like.

Sanyo's new Air Washer air purification system suppresses airborne bacteria and germs utilizing an exclusive electrolyzed water technology, removes dust and allergens, reduces pollen and neutralizes odors. Sanyo's electrolyzed water technology has been tested and proven effective in suppressing airborne germs, bacteria, odors, allergens and mold through third party certification institutions including RTI. In addition, electrolyzed water has proven effective in significantly reducing the level of viable airborne germs and bacteria, according to an independent research institution in the United States. Simply add tap water to the water container and the chlorine ions in the tap water are molecularly split through an electrolysis process in the unit into electrolyzed water. The electrolyzed water attacks the protein spikes in bacteria and inactivates the spikes so they are unable to attach to human cells. The units' 3 directional (upward, leftward, rightward stream) airflow emits the purified air and extremely fine electrolyzed water mist to quickly clean the air throughout the room. A High Performance 4-stage HEPA filter removes 99.97% of airborne particles and allergens, reduces airborne pollens with allergy blocking filter and fights common odors including pet dander and tobacco smoke. The sleek design is simple to operate, has an automatic timer function and filter replacement indicator.

I Love my air purifier it was the one that seem to do the most for the least amount of money and require the least maintenance. The replacement bulb and filter cost about $30 a year but it is well worth it to keep the machine well maintained and working properly. I wake up in the morning, my sinus is clear and I have no headache and that is a beautiful thing.

Ultraviolet light possesses just the right amount of energy to break organic molecular bonds. As microorganisms pass by the UV rays radiated from the ultraviolet lamp, this bond breakage translates into cellular or genetic damage for microorganisms, such as germs, viruses, bacteria, fungi (like molds), etc. This resulted in the destruction of the microorganisms. The same damage occurs to humans, but is limited to the skin and eyes. UV air purifiers, such as the Multi-Tech XJ-3000C from Surround Air, shield direct ultraviolet light from escaping the inside of the unit, sterilizing only the air that passes through the air cleaner. The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommends the use of ultraviolet light with simultaneous use of HEPA air filters, both of which are offered in the Multi-Tech XJ-3000C air purifier. The U.S. government now specifies that UV light should be used in air handling units to improve indoor air quality in government buildings, by controlling airborne and surface microbial growth. The Air Institute of Respiratory Education suggests UV lights be used in buildings for indoor air quality purposes, and states that may be the final line of defense against those diseases that have developed resistance to drugs, such as tuberculosis and others. According to the Aerobiological Engineering Dept. at Penn State University, the ultraviolet component of sunlight is the main reason microbes die in the outdoor air. The die-off rate in the outdoors varies from one pathogen to another, but can be anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes for a 90-99% kill of viruses or contagious bacteria. The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommends UV lights in homeless shelters to prevent the spread of disease, particularly TB (tuberculosis). A study by Air & Waste Management Association found the combination of a HEPA air filter and germicidal UV lamp reduced bacteria by 80% in a 3072 cubic foot chamber.

It doesn't say in the description if they are selling the Honeywell 150 or 050 and they look very similar. So this review is for the 050 (which they sell at Target) and looks like the one in the picture. We bought this and one exactly like it that is half the size (for smaller rooms).
On the lowest setting you can't hear it. On the second setting it sounds like air blowing, no louder than an air conditioner, we barely notice it. The highest setting is pretty loud but still tolerable.
We bought it because my son has allergies. It is too soon to tell how well it is working but the air does smell fresher. I saw on the reviews that some of the other purifiers had a problem with smelling strange after they ran for awhile, but this one has not had that problem at all.
Also, this one is a true-hepa.

I bought these two days ago. The smaller unit was for my bedroom and the larger one for my daughter's. She is a baby and has started rubbing her nose and eyes and is stuffy. So I bought these units in hopes of cleaning the air. In just two days I have noticed she is breathing easier.
A special note, the larger unit was loud. It had a high pitch kind of rattling sound. My husband pulled the filter out, messed with some wire or other and now it is whisper quiet, like the smaller one.
Good buy overall. A little pricey on Amazon but my daughter is sleeping easier which was the whole point.

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.

My dad bought this for my car, a Subaru Impreza 2008. The packaging states that it can fit in any car power socket, but it would not plug in all the way in my car. It goes in but not far enough to charge it and make it work. The package also states that if you bend the "U" tabs it can be adjusted to fit, so I gave it a try to see if it would make a difference. I bent one of the tabs too far and it snapped right off, so I am not able to return it. I do NOT recommend this product, it does not fit in every power socket as the label suggests!

This Wein unit emits pulsed discharges from a wire brush; a unique method of generating negative ions. The emitter is not replaceable, but Wein claims does not wear over time. This is a very powerful industrial strength generator, which does make a slight hissing sound. My ion detector registers a high level of negative ions even some distance away from the emitter. The coverage area is 800 sq ft, so I recommend this unit for work if you are in an open area, or heavily polluted areas, such as your garage. Since it is so powerful, there is potential for increased blackwall effect.
I believe this is one of the more powerful Ionizers available on the market today.

Alen Paralda HEPA Air Purifier Review

Alen Paralda HEPA Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
At the recommendation of my sister, who has bought the Paralda first - we purchased the air purifier for our home. My mother suffers from asthma and terrible allergies and lives with us - so anything we can do to make her more comfortable is worth it.
The Paralda is long and slender yet compact - it easily fit in our living room and didn't stick out like a sore thumb. It is very quiet and has varying speeds. It also had a UV lamp that zaps bacteria - and anything the HEPA air filter doesn't get. I noticed the air seemed fresher and there was less dust on the furniture. It felt like the pristine air you usually find in the dentist office - fresh, cleaner, very comfortable. The Paralda is not noisy at all compared to our Ionic Breeze air purifier we used to keep in my mother's bedroom. The control pad was very easy to figure out - even my mother could manage it on her own.
We have had the Paralda for several weeks now - and my mother seems to have more energy from sleeping better as a result of our cleaner air - which makes the price, to me, completely worth it. I must also mention - we run the Paralda all the time - and we have seem no marked increase in our electric bill ... it is a Energy Star rated appliance - and every little bit of savings helps us nowadays. I'd highly recommend this unit.

Bought this for my hubby who really doesn't like the noise of air cleaners. However, he now has COPD, and he's now willing to have an air cleaner in the living room. As everyone says, on the first 2 speeds you can barely hear it. We actually use it on the 3rd speed. You can hear it, but it's still a very mild hummm and doesn't interfere with the TV. It's helped my hubby's cough a lot. I have other air cleaners, and this one is definitely remarkably quiet in comparison. I bought the open box one and got a heck of a deal.

Providing five air changes per hour in rooms up to 640 square feet, this sleek-looking air purifier effectively delivers healthier indoor air--ideal for people living with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, or for anyone who wants cleaner, more breathable air. Its HEPASilent technology uses electrostatic and mechanical filtration to quickly and quietly capture 99.97-percent of particles down to 0.1 micron in size, including allergens such as pollen grains, dust mites, mold spores, and pet-dander particles (CADR rating of 415 for smoke, 400 for dust, and 415 for pollen). Even more, its three-stage progressive filter traps up to six times more dirt than competitive models. The unit also reduces annoying drafts thanks to its SurroundAir system, which draws in dirty air from the sides and bottom, moves it through the filter, and then gently diffuses clean, filtered air from the sides and top. Choose from three speed settings: HEPASilent for nighttime use, moderate fan speed for daytime use, or maximum fan speed for fast initial cleaning or very polluted air. Each setting offers quiet operation, which makes the air purifier ideal for in a bedroom or office.
Other highlights include galvanized steel construction, a blue "power on" light, smooth-rolling casters, a digital filter-replacement indicator, and easy maintenance--just open the lid, lift out used filters, and drop in replacements at least once every six months. Made of nontoxic polypropylene, the 100-percent-recyclable filter media produces only carbon dioxide and water as it decomposes, plus it's waterproof, which makes it naturally resistant to bacteria, viruses, and mold, without chemical additives or washes. Best of all, the appliance has earned an Energy Star rating, which means it meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy. Energy Star products can help save up to a third on energy bills, as well as greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, all of which means more comfortable indoor air without excess costs or impact on the environment. The air purifier measures 13 by 20 by 26 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.
