Great purifier
I got in on this unit when it was 99.99.I deliberately chose a 350 sq ft model for my small room so i could leave it on whisper.The model gives off a somewhat loud fan noise.It isn't that quiet, but it's considered WHITE noise.I am a very light whisper (I wake up when my phone is on vibrate) and I sleep even better with it on as it blocks other noises.As for it's purifying ability, it's great.I have asthma and when i went home during the weekends, my asthma used to always act up during the night.ALL WENT AWAY when I got this baby.I breathe really easily now, especially at night in my room.I can't believe I lived so long without this thing!

Very effective, and NOT noisy
Compared to other air purifiers we've used the Hamilton Beach is very effective, and NOT noisy -- at least on low speed.We have two (one for each bedroom in an 900 sq. ft. apartment), and keep them on low speed overnight just to mask other noises (primarily neighbors and street traffic).It's a soothing white noise, not high pitched at all.I'm not sure if some of these other reviewers got bad units or if they're just sensitive to noise in general.

We had a real dust problem in the apartment until we got these units.Now we sleep much better, and no longer wake up every morning with dry itchy throats.Highly recommended.

great, but geesh. LOUD.
On the "whisper" mode, it is still extremely loud. On the highest mode, it's so loud it is hilarious, but is only meant as "quick clean". If you've cooked something that smells horrible, maybe? I've noticed a difference in air quality for the better. ... Read more

Basic HEPA Filter Machine
Not only is this particular model energy efficient, there are three speeds and the filters don't have to be replaced for 5 years. I just ordered a new HEPA filter and it cost one hundred dollars for the replacement, which is only twenty dollars a year.

The low speed setting allows air to filter in my bedroom while I'm asleep and I can easily move the air purifier around the house while I'm cleaning. The exterior is highly durable and the surface really does resist scratching.

I have found that I am sick less often now that I have this filter in my home. If you have allergies, this is a must! The included HEPA filter filters out allergens up to .3 microns and 99.97 % efficiency.

When you order a new filter, they also send you a new liner for the inside of the air purifier.

This Filter is always running somewhere in my house, so after years and years and years of work, this is still filtering the air and I hardly ever have to dust, especially now that I have a new filter. Also look for the models with "wheels" if that is of interest to you. These filters are not that heavy, but you might want to consider how often you are going to be moving the filter around the house.

Editorial Review

Honeywell's largest QuietCare model, this portable air cleaneris recommended for filtering the air in a closed room as large as 285square feet (15 by 19 feet). As it continuously circulates a room'sair--about six times per hour--it employs two filters to remove smoke,pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, molds, bacteria, viruses, andodors. Especially useful for asthmatics and allergy sufferers, thecleaner contains a true HEPA filter that is at least 99.97 percenteffective at trapping extremely tiny particles (as small as 0.3microns) while a prefilter reduces odors. Honeywell's IntelliChecksystem permits monitoring of the filters' lives. The HEPA filter lastsone to three years; the prefilter, 3 months. Filter replacement issimple, and replacement filters can be ordered separately. The aircleaner has three speeds, and all are exceptionally quiet for a aircleaner this large and powerful. The cleaner measures 13-3/4 incheswide, 18-3/4 inches high, and 17 inches in deep and carries a five-yearwarranty against defects. --Fred Brack ... Read more

A Happy Customer!
I researched air purifiers for almost 2 months before finally buying this air purifier.I couldn't seem to decide what would be a good because reviews seemed to always go both ways on everything I looked at.I really think it just has a lot to do with what reason you are wanting your air purifier to work as to how happy you are going to be with it, and as to what type you need to buy.I mainly wanted one for my allergies.I am allergic to dust, dust mites and mold spores.There is no smokers in my house or anything so the air is clean from that.
I mainly chose this filter because I found a really good price for it somewhere else, and I decided to give it a try.I have to say, for what I need it to do, it does a great job.The air definitely feels fresher and my eyes do not burn and I do not sneeze near as much since getting this machine.I like that you only have to replace the HEPA filter every 1-2 years, where most HEPA filters I researched in other machines required every 6 months or so.They are not too expensive for lasting that long.
I have only run my machine 8 days and I took out the filter to see what it looked like, and there was a bunch of dust and stuff already collected on it.So I can tell it is getting a lot out of the air.I saw several people wrote that the machine is way too loud even on low, but I tested several machines out, and this is definitely the quiestest of the HEPA models I tried.At night in my room I have it on low and it is perfectly fine, about the same noise as a fan would be.Even on medium I can watch TV without problems.So if you are looking for a air purifier for your allergies at least, and have around 1,000 Sq. feet place or so your living it, it works great.Highly recommend.

Honeywell - 3 times is a charm?
Good News:When the 17400 operates, it does a good job.
Bad News: Motor is defective.
I purchsed the Honeywell 17400 Envirocare in November 2003 and by June 2004 the unit cease to operate.As described here already, the unit simply would not turn on.Returned it to service center on my dime plus $10.00 check.After 5 weeks and no response, I complained aggressively to Customer Support who immediately dispatched a replacement unit. That new unit arrived in early August 2004 after 6 weeks without a unit. You can be sure that extreme care of the unit was observed at all times for fear that it would beakdown again. GUESS WHAT?The new (replacement) unit stopped working on October 8.The next unit (number 3) arrived in 7 days after my plaintiff telephone call to customer service. Still, after the new unit arrive, I had to return the bad unit to Honeywell again on my dime!Maybe three times a charm?Please, please whatever you do (unless Amazon starts giving them away) do not get this unit.

Horrible product - stay away!!
This unit only worked for about 6 weeks, then wouldn't turn on anymore. I'm very disappointed - I paid near two hundred and was unable to return it...what a complete waste!! I would have given no stars if I could have! ... Read more

Getting a little more time out of your filter
I've noticed that if I take a teaspoon of bleach and put it into a full resevior of water after about 3 or 4 weeks into a new filter, that I get almost 2 months out of a filter instead of the usual month.There is a little bleach smell the first day or two but it goes away quickly.

gets moldy quickly, but ok generally.
The HWF65 should work with the following Holmes models: HM-1850, 1845, 1855, 2059, 2060/W, 3000, 3800*, 3850*, 4000**
I have the 2060W and it works fine.generally, they don't last too long, though.

Good Filter. Bad price!
I used to get these filters for under $8 now they are almost $15. They are good but I would get them at drugstore[dot]com. They're only $8.99 and they have free shipping for any orders greater than $49.

Universal Pre-Filter
This filter is larger (taller) than it needs to be for most machines.You simply trim the filter (and it's got pre-made perforations) to the height of your machine.And yes, this means that if you have one of the smaller machines, one which is less than half the height of the pre-filter, you might get two pre-filters for the price of one.Bonus.

Filters out dirt, dust, feathers, bug, hair, etc. Oh, my!
This is a filter. Air passes through it due to differential pressure. The mesh like structure impedes the movment of dirt, dust, feathers, bug, hair, etc. This fact may be evidenced by examining one after a sufficient period of use in an environment where such junk is in the air.

Forensic analysis of the mesh trapped junk may reveal fascinating detailed knowledge about the locale in which the filter unit had operated..

These mesh carbon fiber structures should be exchanged periodically for a new unit. The filth ridden one disposed of in a plastic bag, placed in the trash, and hands washed afterwards. ... Read more

tips for actually using this great product
This is a case where the premium, 3M product works SO much better than the cheaper brands.I save hundreds on my winter power bills using this stuff...Stay warm this winter!Thanks 3M!!!!

My office is warm and toasty thanks to this stuff!
This kit makes it easy to quicky insulate just about any reasonably sized window you may have.The kit includes one large sheet of plastic and 2 rolls of double sided tape.You apply the tape around the frame of the window you want to insulate, cut a piece of plastic and then apply it to the tape.Once you've done that you just need to use a hair dryer on the plastic to get it to shrink and tighten in your window frame.

I used these kits to seal drafty windows in an old building.It took a little over an hour to cover 4 windows.The temperature difference is dramatic and when the plastic has been well tightened and trimmed it isn't too noticable. ... Read more

With a larger than average surface area and powerful heat transfer system, Delonghi’s Magnum radiator quickly and quietly fills an entire room with heat. Its automatic timer control has 96 different settings, and includes a room monitoring thermostat, so you can set the unit to your desired temperature and know that you’ll stay warm. Horizontal thermal slots keep the heat circulating. High efficiency diathermic oil is permanently sealed and never needs refilling. The Magnum’s clean, Euro design is compact and safe, with no sharp edges, and a double insulated exterior. It’s movable, too: four corner wheels, and a handle that stays cool while the unit is operating, let you easily position the Magnum anywhere you need the heat. Additional safety features include thermal cut off to shut off the radiator once the desired temperature is reached, and anti-frost protection to keep the unit heated to at least 35 degrees F. The unit comes with a one-year warranty for parts and labor. --Chris deMaagd ... Read more

Definitely a "hot" item
Overall, after a winter of hard use, I am extremely pleased with this item.The integral timer is the killer feature on this heater, warms a cold bedroom adequately and doesn't burn the excessive electric since we don't have to remember to turn it on or off each night and day.

Excellent!We bought 2!
We have in the basement a craft room where I do my arts and crafts - its about 16x20 and a workshop where my husband does his crafts.We brought one of these for each room and they're perfect!They completely take the chill off in about 15-20 minutes and keep the rooms warm.They have a timer you can set so you don't leave them on and forget about them.They're self contained so there's no fire hazard that I can see.I absolutely love them!Very happy customer, toasty warm in the craft room.

good warmth if used right
I'm hesitant to give this 5 stars because it's the first oil-filled radiator I've ever owned. Found it at another online vendor.
I live in a small mobile home of only 700 sq. ft. floor area in total (yep, very small place!) and this radiator is intended to either supplement my vent-free propane heater or be used in the work shed.
As I write this, the outside temperature is approaching the freezing point, expected to be mid-twenties by morning. So tonight is 'test the new heater night' with no other heating to help it along.
Using a digital multitester with temperature probe attached I measured the Magnum 15T (my guess is the 15E is same basically, only electronic timing) from various places around and on it, while set to full power and thermostat dial on 5 (goes from antifreeze to 6). Top was 150 F (66 C), underneath was 120 F (45 C). Approximately 1 ft (or 30 cm) above the top surface it was 130 F (55 C), and down inside between the fins touching the surface again it was 200 F (94 C).
Indoor tabletop thermometer just 3 feet away from the radiator reads about 69 F and my regular central heating digital thermostat (again, switched off for tonight) is showing 67 F, which is in the back bedroom. Radiator itself is placed in the living room, where I'm using a reversed ceiling fan that I added an adjustable rotary control wall switch making it slower than originally was able to do.
The radiator seems to stay on for 3 1/2 minutes and then off 1 1/4 minutes, or powered 65% of the time (if my math is right). At this rate the temperature drop of the radiator amounts to very little, and of course the room temperature doesn't change.
I should note that having read the review about the loud noises problem I am hearing the thermostat quite plainly click or pop each time it cycles on/off. Not sure how common this is, since it's my first ever but it is certainly neither loud nor quiet. Maybe not the same thing I'm hearing. Although it does deter from the pleasant, otherwise silent, heating it provides; my vent-free LP heater is not silent either and it's only flames and expanding/contracting metal! But it'll also pop on and off, too.
Wasn't possible to send in this review right away so I've had some more time using the radiator since then. I moved it into the bedroom for the night and left the door open, no other heating sources used, and it got pretty cold at 6 a.m. so I turned on the central heating. Was 62 F everywhere except the bedroom (didn't measure but guessing close to 66 F in there. It couldn't keep up with the 26 F outside, but that was to be expected. Anyway, it'll do well for what I had in mind.

• Room air cleaner circulates and cleans air with no motor, no fan and no noise. Key features include absolutely silent operation; proven efficient air cleaning; odor reduction; no replacement filters; low energy use; lightweight, attractive housing; continuous air cleaning.
• Our tests at leading research centers show that Ionic Breeze does a great job capturing particles like pollen, dander and other airborne allergens and irritants. Quadra Compact has been tested at America's leading allergy research center, prominent universities and independent labs to confirm its efficient trapping of airborne particles of one micron or larger.
• Save money! There no messy, expensive filters to find, buy, store and replace. Quadra is an electrostatic precipitator that charges airborne contaminants and traps them on oppositely charged stainless steel collectors that wipe clean. Quadra Compact is powered by only 6 watts. Compared to high-watt HEPA machines, it pays for itself in less than a year.
• Cleans 24-7! Turn off a noisy HEPA air cleaner and air pollution goes right back to where it started. All air cleaners should run continuously but noisy fans and expensive 200-watt power demands make that impractical with those big HEPA machines. Silent, low-energy Ionic Breeze is designed to run continuously. Plug into 3-prong outlet.
• Quadra is 19" tall and 4 1/4 lbs, with almost the same cleaning power as the larger Quadra. Uses only 6 watts. Extra collection grid available (SI939). 5-year warranty.

Simple fact.....
You need to move air in order to clean it...how do you clean something that you can't get a hold of?You need a fan in order to actually clean air.The Ionic Breeze is an overpriced dust collector.

This product sucks
Unfortunately I became aware too late of the negative review given this product by Consumer Report. It doesn't even warrant one star. Avoid it like the plague and save your money!

Misconception about ozone issue
Another reviewer expressed concern about the ozone generated by the Ionic Breeze and provided a link to an EPA article on "Ozone Generators that are Sold as Air Cleaners: An Assessment of Effectiveness and Health Consequences"

BUT The Ionic breeze is an Electrostatic Precipitator, NOT an "Ozone Generator"

In fact, if you read the EPA article all the way through, they even mention how Electrostatic Percipitator's have been shown to be more effective for air filtration than ionizers that generate ozone.here is the quote: " In recent experiments, ionizers were found to be less effective in removing particles of dust, tobacco smoke, pollen or fungal spores than either high efficiency particle filters or electrostatic precipitators. "- see review by Muthu "MS" for the link to this article.

The use of "Ionic" in the name should not confuse you.The Ionic Breeze is an Electrostatic Precipitator.Ozone Generators deliberately generate ozone... the ionic breeze works on a different principle and any ozone that is created indirectly by the machine is miniscule and a result of chemical reactions in the air, outside of the unit, that have to do with the charge of certain particles. Furthermore, to the extent that extremely low levels of ozone are created indirectly, it will "disintegrate" within minutes.

And by the way, the "smell" of the Ionic Breeze is not caused by Ozone either, which many other reviewers seemed to think.

so how effective is the Ionic Breeze?Well, I don't know, I am still trying to decide whether to get one.I gave it three stars because thats the middle of the range and i didn't want to skew the ratings up or down by giving it a high or low score.I can only tell you my decision won't be effected by misunderstandings about ozone. ...

Good for occasional heat
Good basic spaceheater, with temperature controls and a timer.
I don't use either of the features, but the heat works well, and the lights don't dim when i turn on the heater.
All I expect from a spaceheater is for it to warm up my chilly basement, and it DOES remove the chill from my smallish basement.
No quality issues, or reliability issues for 6 months now.

Great heater, except for one major defect -- the noise!!!
I like this heater a lot except for one aspect that drives me nuts -- the noise!!!! It clangs and thumps at random intervals, so is not good for the bedroom if you are trying to sleep. If you wack it the noise stops but then may return at 4am. Since it's too late to get my money back, I'm going to relegate this one to the livingroom, and find another (quieter) one for the bedroom.

Nice product, very pleased.
With temps. getting down to 0 here in Ohio this year, we needed something extra for my sons room as his is the coldest in the house.
The little radiator does very well for a mid-sized room, it is completely silent in operation which is nice. Looks are good.

I would agree with the other review in that the simple numbering of *1-6 is weird, and also the way you set the auto-temp is also abit cumbersome.

DO NOT BUY THIS!
Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the Amazon reviews before buying and I paid the price.The Bioaire worked fine for exactly one month and then it died.I called Bionaire and they told me to reset it by unplugging the machine for 15 minutes and then plugging it back in.That worked for two days, then it died completely.I cannot believe Bionaire continues to sell a machine that CLEARLY has serious motor issues.In any case, I'm returning it to Amazon and getting a refund.What a waste.

Horrible quality control, these products don't work!
Here's the letter that I sent to Bionaire...I've yet to receive any "satisfaction" (i.e., my money back or a unit that works).

"Where to begin....I originally purchased a Bionaire BAP1175 unit from Amazon.com.The unit worked but I could not get it to reliably go into the Sleep setting.After several weeks I decided to return the unit and get a replacement.You sent out the second unit, and that unit worked great...for two days, after which it completely died, and hasn't worked since, and this, after having waited for nearly a month for the replacement.I decided to be restrained when I called, and spoke with a very nice customer service rep., who agreed to send me out a replacement, 2nd day air.The replacement was a BAP1300.This unit worked fine, for one day as well, and now won't turn on.I believe that there must be a fundamental flaw in the design of these units.I am sending this letter as a last attempt at receiving some satisfaction.If I don't reach a satisfactory resolution I will feel compelled to search out every consumer review site on the Web, and post my negative opinion of Bionaire and your air filter products.It's a FAN for goodness sake!!I have to say I'm suprised I've had this much trouble.The unit itself seems quite sturdy, it just simply doesn't work."

Stay away from this product, if you don't want to experience endless frustration.

This unit sucks!!!
I have had this unit for 3 years now! I swear I have had to turn it back on atleast 4-5 times a week cuz it simply shuts off on its own! I was gonna call them so they could send me a replacement until I read everyone's reviews and it seems like all of us have the same issue with this defective product! Back 3 years ago I cashed out close to 300 bucks for it and now I realize it was the biggest waste of money ever! You'd be better off using the HEPA filter on your vacume cleaner 24/7 than this unit!

Surprising benefit - quieter!
Ordinarily I would not be particularly excited about odor-removing filters.However, I was surprised after installing my first replacement set of odor filters that my purifier (model 04163) ran much quieter at the lowest speed setting.I'm not entirely sure of the added electrical cost of running these filters (I have pet birds that generate a lot of dust and dander and the filters run 24/7), but it may be that the reduced fan speed to get the same air discharge will save me money.Nice!

Expensive

Plastic is low quality, water tank cap broke after relatively short use, had to replace with something more sturdy.Also, water tank is enough for only one night in "low" setting and less than that in "high".The medicine cup is messy and not useful.Better to spend a bit more and get a decent humidifier if you plan to use this more than a few months.

Fair Performer
Easy to use product but didn't last very long.
We worked it hard using it every day for almost a year until it died.It was fairly easy to clean unless you let it go too long between cleanings.Once the mineral deposits on the heater head go thick it was hell to chip them off.The medicine cup/arometherapy is a joke.More mess than it is worth, IMNHO.The unit is easy to fill and overall has a clean easy-to-use design, though the water resevoir's handle is not very sturdy and will break if you aren't careful with it.I'm hoping to find something a little more solid for the replacement. ...

Editorial Review

It’s hard to relax or work well in a room that’s too cold for comfort. The DeLonghi SafeHeat fan heater provides an effective means of tailoring temperature to your liking and schedule. The efficiently built and extra-quiet unit includes an adjustable thermostat and programmable timer, as well as motorized oscillation to help distribute hot air. Likewise handy for cabin or outbuilding use, it comes with an anti-freeze setting that activates if temperatures drop below a safe level. You can also turn on the fan setting without heat to keep air circulating in the warm seasons. Easy to transport, place, and operate, the heater comes with a built-in safety shut-off device and handy cord storage. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

DeLonghi DFH469M SafeHeat Fan Heater
This is without a doubt the best fan heater I have ever used!I live in the mountains of Colorado and we had an incredibly brutal winter but this fan kept my bathroom (the only room I bother using a heater in) so nice and warm.After 5 minutes I could turn it off and the room would still be comfortably warm. And it oscillates!Great heater.I highly recommend it.

Good buy.
Pros: Good price, fast heating with excellent termostat, rotates, very quiet, timer, VERY safe.
Cons: display is not backlit and is hard to read. This is troublesome enough that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Concerned Consumer
I bought this heater last year to use in my living room, the term "safe heat" is an oxymoron. It started having problems turning on within a month of purchase and then burnt a hole in the rug - luckily I smelled it burning immediately. There was a large burn mark on the bottom of the heater and a burn on the rug. I suggest picking something that is really safe. ... Read more

Editorial Review

A cold room warms up quickly with this ceramic heater. With its roundedback and fine-screen front panels, the heater looks more like a classy stereospeaker than a heating device. Cleverly designed, the two stacked cubes turnindependently to project heat into different parts of the room. And, using thehandy remote control, temperature settings can be adjusted without getting outof a chair or bed. Measuring 12-1/2 by 7 by 6 inches, the compact heater takesup very little floor space and can even sit on a table. The SmartTouch one- button control toggles through five temperature settings (60, 65, 70, 75, and 80degrees F) with a choice of either low or high output for each. While thisheater projects powerfully, it operates 40 percent more quietly than otherceramic heaters. For safety reasons the heater will shut off if it starts tooverheat. The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included). Designedin Canada, the Bionaire heater comes with a two-year warranty against defects.--Ann Bieri ... Read more

Remote didn't work leaving the heater beeping all the time
Just barely picked up the unit and the remote didn't work. The remote wouldn't allow me to not only switch the unit to auto, it didn't switch from celsius to fahrenheit either. You might not think that is so bad except the unit beeps once every 2 seconds until the remote is synced up with it. So $50 later I was left with a beeping heater that really doesn't put out that much heat anyway.

Great Heating Unit, But Does Have Drawbacks
This small unit provides excellent heating power in a small, attractively designed package.It does, however, have its drawbacks.One is the annoying design for the control buttons.One button on the unit controls both the heat temperature and the high/low fan (yes, only one button), which means you sometimes have to scroll through a number of temperature & high/low settings before you get to the one you want.The controls on the remote use exactly the same format.Even more annoying are the popping sounds the heater can make when turned on, but in idle mode.I'm guessing this is due to the ceramic heating unit being encased in a plastic shell.As the ceramics heat and cool in idle mode, the unit emits brief, sharp, random popping noises as the plastic elements expand and contract.Over time, I was able to block out these sounds, but think it is something that Bionaire could easily have identified and fixed during the testing phase for this product.In the end, these annoyances may be minor if what you are looking for is a small, attractively designed unit that delivers great heating power.

I was freezing in the North East
I would highly recommend this heater. Prior to this purchase, I owned a Pelonis oil-filled heater that looks like a radiator - it broke down in less than a year and was far to costly to have repaired - what a piece of junk. Anyway, the Bionaire heat is magnificent. Its not very noisy at all, heats the room very quickly, and the twisting position system is quite effective. For instance, it took about 20 min to heat a room 10'x12' several degrees, whereas my old oil-filled heater took 30 min just to get warm and another hour to raise the temperature just 1-2 degrees (using the same amount of power). I am very pleased at my purchase. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an excellent heater. ... Read more
