Hamilton Beach 04383 True Air Allergen-Reducing Air Cleaner

Comment: I got this in the midst of the ragweed season and have it on most of the time. It definitely helps banish the allergens since I am allergic to ragweed, mold and dust, among other things. It is super quiet on the low "Whisperclean" setting and simply soft quiet white noise on higher settings. There's even a "Quickclean" setting for more severe times: and this is the high speed. There is no ionizer, but I have no problem in not having one. The best part is that one does not need to buy filters. Just vacuum the permanent filter every 3-6 months. It can be set upright as a tower as well as horizontally and it has four adhesive feet with soft material on the outside that can be put on the unit for the horizontal position so it won't scratch furniture. There is a base for the "tower" position that can be easily removed if you place it horizontally. Very ergonomic and an excellent investment. They were really thinking when they designed this.

Comment: I wanted this for my bedroom. It was even more quiet than I expected. I've bought a few air cleaners over the past couple years and this one is the most quiet. On whisper setting I could barely hear it at all. It doesn't get much louder on medium setting. I like that I don't have to buy filters and can just use the vacuum when it's time to clean the filter. So far it works as advertised and I am happy with it. I am purchasing a second one for my son's room.

Comment: I ordered this air cleaner for my room in Iraq. It's very dusty here and I thought maybe it would help. 18 days after ordering I recieved an E-mail informing me that the order was canceled because of "lack of availability from the supplier". When I ordered the item, "IN STOCK" was prominently displayed on each page as I navigated through ordering. This is the second time I've had trouble getting an item. If you are ordering air products (cleaners, allergen control, etc...) I recommend some of the other sites. I've used amazon in the past and have had no issues with them until now. They seem to have little control over these products. I could have ordered elsewhere 18 days ago.

Comment: good looking air purifier and seems to be working fine. the permanent air filter is a major plus. others might consider it loud, but i can't sleep without it on now.

Comment: I received this air purifier two days after it shipped, which was great! So far I love how quiet it is and my allergies have improved.
