Low: 88.1% Medium: 91.4% High: 97.5% Average efficiency: 92.3% The uniqueness of 3-way filtration with a HEPA filter and UV germicidal light attracted us to these air purifiers from the start. And, with a time-tested manufacturer that makes many other household appliances, we felt good about the company's business reputation for producing quality equipment. Pluses: - We like that these air purifiers offer 3-way filtration: a UV germicidal light in addition to a prefilter and HEPA filter. A triple threat to allergens makes these units stand out from others in their class.
- The AirSmart sensor technology is a real plus on these units. It allows you to constantly know the air quality in any room, and adjust the fan speeds accordingly. This is useful because you may not need to turn the air purifier on the highest setting if air quality is good, and you can therefore extend the life of the filters by not overusing them.
- One of our tester's favorite features is the automatic dial setting - simply set the air purifier to automatic, and it will regulate the fan speed based on the air quality of the room
- These air purifiers are lightweight. In fact, the smaller model at 12 pounds is a good unit to take with you when traveling to be used in a vacation home, hotel, etc.
- A filter change indicator on the LCD display will tell you when it's time to change the pre-filter and hepa filter
- There is an "on & off" button for the UV light, so you can choose when to use the light to kill germs and bacteria
- A nice safety feature is built into these air purifiers - the auto shut-off feature turns off the fan and UV light if you remove the grills on the top or front of the air purifier to change a filter
Minuses: - Only good for small areas up to 350 sq. ft., so these units are best for only small rooms
- On low speed setting, these air purifiers are slightly louder than a computer; they are the same noise level as the Austin Jr. air purifiers, and a bit louder than the Blueair smaller models
- These air purifiers are noisy on high speed, but they can clear a room quickly from particulates due to the high fan power; you can use the high speed setting to clean a room and then turn it down when the air quality is improved
- We don't recommend these air purifiers for gas and VOC removal
- Annual maintenance costs are slightly higher than other small air purifiers, but the other small units do not have an ultraviolet light for killing viruses
Summary: These Hamilton Beach air purifiers are for someone with medium allergies for particulate, bacteria, and virus control. You get an easy to maintain, efficient air cleaner with lots of features usually found in more expensive air cleaners for a very reasonable price. These air purifiers get the job of air purification done in a small room. And with a 3 year warranty, you won't be disappointed with these economically priced units. | Courtesy of Allergy Buyers Club More on Air Purifiers - Comparisons, Test Reports, Ratings Home : Cleaning Guide |
