Austin Air Healthmate Jr Replacement Filter w/ Prefilter - Sandstone Review

Austin Air Healthmate Jr Replacement Filter w/ Prefilter - Sandstone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the Austin Healthmate Jr. about 2 years ago for a dusty area and have been happy with it. The three things I like best about it are that you don't have to buy filters very often because you can vacuum the outside of the filter and that it's relatively quiet. The other thing is that it takes air in on all four sides and blows the filtered air out through the top area. It seems to do a good job of filtering the air. It's more energy efficient than air purifiers I've used in the past and it has 3 speeds which is nice.
If you use it in really dusty conditions like mine, you can replace the pre-filter more often than the big filter. I've found this type of material that I could cut to fit at a local hardware store. You get a pre-filter with it. You have to take it apart to replace the pre-filter and filters, but it isn't difficult. You can turn off the machine and vacuum it from the outside and that seems to help the filters last longer. Of course, you'll want to use a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter or you defeat the purpose. I replace mine about once a year, but I think the average person could go much longer.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I don't really have any way of measuring how good of a job it really does, only that it seems to do a good job in terms of allergies, odors, etc. There are so many air filters out there and so many claims, that it's hard to sort them out. But if I had to buy a filter for another room, I would probably buy this brand again.

Blueair 403 SMOKESTOP Air Purifier Review

A IQAir HealthPro Plus helps with new furniture off-gassing in the living room while a Sharp FP-P40CX + Blueair 403 SmokeStop combo does the same in the master bedroom. The lack of electronic controls (403 versus the 450E) means improved durability. As far as I am concerned, the more durable a device is, the lower the overall cost of ownership as warranty claims require that the owner cover shipping costs to the factory. The 403 is the bang-for-the-buck model in the Blueair inventory. The SmokeStop filter with impregnated carbon granules is a great improvement over the standard HEPASilent by providing both lightweight multigas and odor filtration. CADR 240 means that it should be good for rooms up to 240 sqft (regardless of manufacturer claims) through the life of the filter (as ACH declines due to clogged media). Let the unit run 24/7, else cover it when not in use to prevent the accumulation of dust on the exposed internals. Periodically clean the fan with compressed air and vacuum the intake grill/ion brush region/housing floor regularly, regardless of the presence of accumulated dust. Because the filters (made in the USA) are not exactly cost effective (versus the cost of the unit itself), I run a smaller filtration unit (Sharp FP-P40CX) in the opposite corner of the room so that filter media changes can be extended to one year (YMMV, depends on your IAQ). I prefer the single filter cartridge of the 400 series units to that of the triple filter setup found in the 500 and 600 series. And unlike the 500 and 600 series models which intake air from the bottom of the unit, the 400 series models are better suited for placement on carpeted flooring. The Blueair 403 is assembled in China (I have no problem with that) from parts procured from Germany, Sweden and the USA.

KAZ INC - Digital Tower Fan with Ionizer (HY047B) Review

KAZ INC - Digital Tower Fan with Ionizer (HY047B)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use several tower fans to move air around my condo. I bought a pair of these Honeywell tower fans last year and have used them non-stop since. They work well, are quiet, move a good quantity of air for their size, and actually provide a bit of filtration as a bonus. (There is a removable filter that won't remove small particles but does catch things like cat hair). My only complaint is that the base that they sit on isn't very solid or weighty and this means the fans tend to wobble a bit. It's not really noticeable unless you bump into the fan, so it's really a minor complaint.
The fan has various settings which I've only used a few of (time delay shut down, oscillation, air speed) all of which can be controlled using the remote. I've not really used the remote much, so I can't really review how well it works.
Overall this is a nice, quiet tower fan. It does what it's supposed to do well, and that's all you can ask.

Surround Air XJ-2100 Ionic Air Purifier Review

Surround Air XJ-2100 Ionic Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This item is compact, yet powerful enough and requires minimal cleaning. There are no filters to replace, so once you buy you only pay some pennies on electricity. It also produces small amounts of ozone, which is an excellent odor remover. Unfortunately, the ozone isn't optional, and too much of it isn't healthy.
It has a "high" and "low" state, and a fan which could be turned off.
What I like about it is that it can be placed anywhere in the house, since it's small. Compare that to the Ionic Breeze Quadra ionic towers, which need a lot of space.
As a bonus, you can connect it to the car - even leave it overnight (but you would have to open the windows in the morning to let the ozone out). In my opinion, it is too big for a car - but I have a small compact car, not a SUV. It can be used to remove odors from cars (or rooms), since the ozone does that.
What I wished were differently - as I've written - is the ozone output to be made optional.
Overall, this is a worthy investment, I heard about people ordering a buch of them - five or so (one for each room) - it is cheaper and healthier than an expensive big home unit.

Waterwise 9000 Water Wise Distiller Purifier - NEW Review

Waterwise 9000 Water Wise Distiller Purifier - NEW
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item after going through the reviews and articles of countless other water distiller sites. I had 3 different models in mind. One was only $99 (http://www.wholesalewaterdistillers.com/), this waterwise one at $200 (available through http://www.hacres.com/home.asp ) and one for $400.
The $99 is recommended if not willing to pay a high fee. The webaddress I gave may look a little cheezy, but you can call the owner up directly and speak to him about the products. In fact, he strongly does not recommend this Waterwise Product. He says many people have trouble with the timer and something to do with the plastic. Also Waterwise has sold this modle over to Kenmore (Sears brand) and it has the same probs. (Kenmore model can be purchased anywhere from $100-200)
The $400 model my family owns. It is complete stainless steel, not plastic anywhere and it has a lifetime warrenty. Unfourtuantly, I do not have the website at this time to list it here. It's the top of the line in home distillers and has a life time warrently (compared to waterwise 1 year)
Now my nightmare with waterwise. I ordered through the hacres.com place I listed above. It only cost $200 with shipping. I had wanted a water distiller for some time. We don't drink the tap water for the contaiments in it, and I'm tired of getting Reverse Osmose water from water machines and paying all that money. Well when it arrived, it was a little bigger than I expected. Do plan on having it in an area where all the fans can freely circulate. The first batch of water needs to be dumped, just to clean the product. My 2nd and 3rd batches tasted and smelled bad....and so did all of those after it. On the 3rd morning after having the product, it wouldn't work. I thought perhaps I was doing something wrong so I called waterwise and told them my problem (the carafat light was coming on, thereby not allowing me to start the distilling process). They looked up in the computer the message, put me on hold and said that they were shipping out a whole new machine to me.
Okay, that was bad news...I asked what was the matter. Wouldn't you know it, it was the same thing the gentleman on the phone told me about from the $99 water distiller place. The timer broke and it was irreplaceable. Being that my machine was under warrently, they were shipping out a whole new one to me and wanted me to send my broken one back to them.
Well when everything hit me sometime later, I relized that I didn't want a machine like that. I wanted to have my water distiller around for more than a year (esp at that price). So I decided to send everything back...which resulted in a big headache from both waterwise and hacers.com. Each company wanted back the broken distiller. After many phone calls, the situation was finally solved. I never want to go through such an experience again.
To sum things up, do not purchase this model.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this pitcher. The price is rock-bottom, as are the replacement filters (I was able to get the pitcher and 1 years worth of filtration for less than the price of just a Brita or PUR pitcher alone).
The water tastes great, the pitcher fills pretty quickly, it's easy to clean and the filter changes easily. The LID is an issue, but a very small one for me personally. It does flip off easily, but that is solved by just pressing it with your thumb when you pour. A very minor inconvenience in an otherwise excellent product.

This is the most amazing air filter. Mine still works to even get indian curry and strong garlic out of the kitchen. I wish my whole HVAC system was hooked to this somehow. BUY THIS. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. I've had mine for 5 years. It makes sprays like Febreze totally useless.

I have congestive lung disease and live in an apartment. When a new downstairs neighbor moved in, who is a heavy smoker, the smoke came up through the floorboards and into my place. I was literally choking to death. I tried taping over all the electrical outlets, putting special filers in the vents, and blocking every place I could think of where the fumes were entering. Nothing worked until I got the Blueair 601 with the smoke filters. It turns on automatically every time it "smells" smoke. I know exactly when my neighbor is smoking by when it turns on, but it filters all the smoke from circulating into my place. If it wasn't for the Blueair 601 I would have to move.

Filtrete Ultimate Allergen Reduction Filter, 1900 MPR Review

Filtrete Ultimate Allergen Reduction Filter, 1900 MPR
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My house uses forced air for heating. The disadvantage of such a system is that it distributes the dust in the air everywhere in the house. However, it is supposed to be possible to filter out the dust. Over the years, I have steadily increased the quality of the filter that I use for my forced air heating system. However, until now I have not noticed any obvious difference in my allergic reactions that seem to start with the heating season.
There are cats in my house. I have read that cat dander, tiny flakes of cat skin shed by the cats, is five times smaller than household dust particles. It stays in the air much longer than ordinary dust before it settles. Because of its small size it requires a more efficient filter to get it out of the air.
Until three years ago, I used of variety of filters with mixed results. However, then I started using the 3M Advanced Allergen Filters, the ones in the blue wrapper. These have a 3M Microparticle Performance Rating of 1500, and a MERV rating of 12.
MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value produced from a test designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). A higher MERV rating indicates better filter performance.
3M uses particle data between 0.3 and 1.0 micron size to calculate a Microparticle Performance Rating or MPR. The higher the MPR, the better the filter. However, higher rated filters cost more.
Here are some of the Filtrete filters offered by 3M:
Dust & Pollen Filter, Microparticle Performance Rating 600,
MERV rating of 8
Micro Allergen Filter, Microparticle Performance Rating 1000,
MERV rating of 11
Ultra Allergen Filter, Microparticle Performance Rating 1250,
MERV rating of 11
Advanced Allergen Filter, Microparticle Performance Rating 1500,
MERV rating of 12
Ultimate Allergen Filter, Microparticle Performance Rating 1900,
MERV rating of 13.
The difference made by the Advanced filter was immediately obvious. My running nose stopped running. I assume that the new Advanced filters must be taking out more of the dust in the air including the cat dander. I have not noticed a change in the speed of the circulated air.
More recently, I have started using the newer Ultimate filter. It works better than the Advanced filter. The additional cost of the filter is worth it if you have allergies or pets. However, if you are happy with a lower-rated and lower-cost filter, then continue using that one.
I suggest that you check Amazon and vendors on the web to get the best price.

High Performance FilterContains 1 Filter Lasts up to 3 Months 1900 Performance RatingFiltrete® Ultimate Allergen Reduction filters provide an easy way to help reduce airborne allergens in your home. They capture large airborne particles from the air that passes through them, including dust, pollen, and mold spores. They also trap microscopic allergens, such as pet dander, smoke, smog, and particles that can carry bacteria, viruses and odors.The difference is in the Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) and Air Flow Balance. How We Measure Filtrete Filter Performance: Filtrete air cleaning filters are electrostatically charged to attract and capture particles from the air that passes through the filter. Each Filtrete filter has a Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR). This rating measures a filter's ability to capture particles between 0.3 and 1.0 microns. The higher the MPR, the more efficient the filter is at capturing these tiny particles.How Clean is Your Indoor Air and Water? Many people would be surprised to learn that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says that indoor air can be two to five times worse than the air outside. In fact, the EPA identifies indoor air contamination as one of the top five environmental risks to public health.Air and water quality can vary according to a number of factors. For example, today's energy-efficient homes provide better insulation than ever before, but often at the expense of air exchange. As a result, moisture may build up, creating a breeding ground for things like bacteria, fungi, and mold. And even the best municipal water systems can fail to remove chlorine taste and odor, as well as sediment and parasitic cysts in drinking water. Filtrete™ Home Filtration Products empower you to help improve your indoor air and water quality. We are making a difference in maintaining healthier home environments.
