Holmes HAP424-U HEPA-Type Tower Air Purifier Review

I got this filter because I have cats and birds, and before I started using it, I always had a coating of "bird dust" on everything and was concerned about breathing it. I bought it in mid summer, and in early fall, I opened it up to see if the filters were "catching" anything, and sure enough, they were covered with a fine powdery silt, and then I realized that the bird dust that used to cover desks and other surfaces had almost disappeared since I had started using it. I was grateful to know that the machine had been doing its job. Whenever it was on, I did notice a subtle change in air quality...it seemed fresher. I have kept it running almost constantly for three months, and have not had any problems with it.
While it's working, I don't notice the sound that much, especially on the lower setting which is what I usually keep it on. It simply becomes "white noise". The higher setting is definitely louder, so if that's something that bothers a person, it should be kept in mind, but it's a humming, blowing sound, not rattling or harsh.
I can't compare it to other air purifiers because it's the only one I've ever had, but for the price, and for a person on a budget, I think it's done an amazing job. I'd like to get another for a different part of my house.

Hoover Air Purifier with TiO2 Technology - WH10600 Review

This thing is amazing, and I'm a huge fan. I have it in my office at work, and every time a co-worker comes in, they make mention of how fresh the air in my office smells. It's a dramatic and noticeable difference from the air in the rest of the building.
Great things:
- Very quiet, and really only audible when the fan is on its highest setting.
- The design is attractive and unobtrusive.
- The timer feature is a plus, especially in my case; it makes it easy to set the purifier to turn off when I leave for the day.
- I'm a big fan of the internal UV light that kills germs. I haven't taken an air sample yet to make sure this is working, but I have faith. :)
- The remote keeps me from having to get up and walk to the purifier to change a setting - I can do it right from my desk.
Things that could be better:
- Being able to turn off the display at night would be great - the light on it is pretty bright in the dark.
- Being able to turn off the beeping sound when changing a setting.
- The price is a bit steep for an air purifier.
I'm not entirely sure why previous reviews were complaining about the ionizing feature, because you can turn that off if you're concerned about an old report Consumer Reports published. If anything, it should get a *higher* rating for including that feature.
Either way, I really like the unit, and I'll be purchasing one for my bedroom as well.

The new WH10600 Hoover Air Purifier with TiO2 Technology is AHAM Certified to provide superior air cleaning performance in any room up to 79 square feet. The innovative TiO2 coated screen provides additional effectiveness to the normal UV light exposure, resulting in the removal of 99.9% of airborne germs, bacteria, and microorganisms. The rinsable pre-filter is the first line of defense- capturing airborne particles such as lint, pet hair, and other large particles. Ionizing technology emits negative ions which grab airborne particles, pollutants, and germs so they can be easily trapped by the HEPA filter. The ionizer is environmentally friendly and safe- unlike many other air purifiers, it does not use ozone to clean your air. With the IntelliSense Control System, the WH10600 can sense air quality and adjust fan speed accordingly to maximize cleaning while minimizing energy use. You can also manually adjust the fan to three different speeds, as well as set the timer for up to 24 hour performance cycles. Also includes a remote control allowing you to manage settings from up to 25 feet away.
