1) Kitchen Kitchen Hamilton Beach 04162 HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light by Hamilton Beach. I have a few air purifiers now and have had a few since I was a kid. I have had asthma and allergies all my life. I currently have the kenmore electrostatic model from sears, a hap625 from walmart(least effective although I have no problem with it) and this model.


I bought this unit back in 2004 and have had no problems what so ever with it. I got this air purifier real cheap back then and the one thing I noticed was that the filter that originally came with it was very flimsy compared to the 50 dollar replacement filters. The replacements are true hepa filters good for a year(as hamilton beach says).

The filter will cover a room up to 350 sqaure feet. I got some of the CADR numbers off of another web site for comparison.

230 CADR - dust
230 CADR - tobacco smoke
240 CADR - pollen

The above numbers are supposedly certified by AHAM. I have no reason not to believe them.

This unit has a very powerful fan and can produce a lot of air flow and a lot of whoosing noise. An air purifier of this quality would cost over 200.00 at sears(sears filters are highly rated by the leading consumer advocate magazine)

I just hope I can continue to buy the replacement filters from amazon. I would not hesitate to buy another Hamilton Beach air purifier in the future.¤

2) Kitchen Kitchen Hamilton Beach 04162 HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light by Hamilton Beach. Quick background: I have allergies. I don´t like animal smells. I share my bedroom with 2 guinea pigs, a rabbit, and a turtle.

I bought this air purifier as a present for myself. It´s the best. Before I brush my rabbit I turn this on and don´t sneeze. When I start getting stuffed up I turn it on and soon I can feel my nasal passages opening. I use the UV light, since it seems to be better at getting rid of smells that way.

And yeah, it´s not silent, but you´re talking to a girl who (usually) sleeps through the sounds of various small critters all night. Sometimes it´s nice to have a white noise going. And just a word of advice, make sure you don´t turn it on when you have candles burning.

I´ve had this for over a year, and I only had to change the filter a handful of times. You can tell when it needs to be changed, the air starts smelling different.

Too bad this isn´t for sale on amazon anymore.¤

3) Kitchen Kitchen Hamilton Beach 04162 HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light by Hamilton Beach. We mostly just use this unit when we have coming over, and while they are here. It strips the cat hair and cooking smell out of the air. We occasionally get a little moldy smell in the basement, and this unit cleans that right up also.

It is not dead quiet, but it is more quite than our furnace or or our floor-fan.

At this price, everyone should have one of these!¤

4) Kitchen Kitchen Hamilton Beach 04162 HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light by Hamilton Beach. I purchased this unit for my infant son´s bedroom approximately a month ago and have been fairly happy with it to this point. He was diagnosed with asthma at 5 months old and has been controlled on medication. As we approached the fall and winter (when asthma is apparently more problematic), I wanted to try some preventative measures and thus, bought the air purifier. We leave it running on low speed at all times and try to keep his door shut. It is a bit noisier than I would have liked, but doesn´t seem to disturb the baby. He seems to have had fewer incidents since we began using the air purifier, so it seems to have been a good investment.¤

5) Kitchen Kitchen Hamilton Beach 04162 HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light by Hamilton Beach. I was so happy to have this work to relieve my son´s alergy symptoms. It isn´t the quietest, but on low speed, it is rather like a white noise machine, drowning out other environmental sounds. I was dismayed to find that the filters cost so much for only three monthes of use. Luckily our situation only calls for seasonal use rather than all year long.¤
