Holmes® HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms

Comment: I bought this air filter after my old one (same brand)started running hot and I was afraid to use it (had it running almost 24 hours a day for about 4 years). This one is smaller than my old one but works just as great. It's in a room with two shedding rabbits and it really gets the fur that floats around the room. I just vacuum the charcoal filters twice a week to get the fur that collects on them. The lowest setting runs nice and quiet and is a nice background white noise.

Comment: My family bought 2 of these air filter (different sizes but similar models) and now these air filters are sitting in the garage waiting to be trashed. There goes ~$300 of investment.

Here's what I bought it for:

1. Remove the paint odor and polyurethane smell in my room.
2. Remove dirty laundry odor and make my room smell fresh.

It did not do 1 or 2.

I regret buying this air filter after buying the Alive Air purifier.
This air filter only has 2 filtering technology ---HEPA and activated Carbon.
The Alive Air Purifier has 9 --- HEPA, activated carbon, air ionizer, electrode, TIO2 plates, and I forgot the other 4.

If you want a really good air purifier, I recommend the Alive Air Purifier which cost ~$300. It is worth the money ---trust me. My room smells fresher with the Alive Air Purifier than if I were to open my window and door.

Comment: I use to have very serious allergy around late March and April for the oak pollen. About 6 months ago. I purchased this item from Amazon. This item is better than the allergy medicine, since this year I only sneeze when I am outside. I, now purchases another 2 for my bedroom and the other room in my house, because it does help my allergy problem. I really enjoy it.

Comment: The first filter replacement came around, new filters were put in and it never worked again. I've owned this unit for about 8 months. I used it nightly on the lowest setting for a little background noise and air filtration. I'm pretty disappointed in the longevity of this air filter. While it worked, it was great.

Comment: The Holmes does a very good job and in all not that loud on the low and medium speeds. I like the timer and build quality of the unit for the price.
Consumer Reports gives this unit a fairy good rating.
I just purchase another for our formal living room. That gives us two Holmes HAP726 units, two Winix 5300 Units and two Holmes HAP706-U air purifiers for the smaller study and guest bedroom.
What a difference these units have made to the indoor air quality. We do not smoke nor have pets, I do notice less sinus and eye irritations using the purifiers.I would highly recommend the Holmes HAP726 for small to medium sized rooms.
I sleep on the lite side I would manage on the low setting with this unit only your preference may vary depend on sleep habits. The unit pushes a lot of air on the higher speeds with a slight increase in noise while doing so.
A remote would have been nice with the unit we had the Honeywell 17005 for a while the remote was nice but the noise won in returning the unit.
