Got Six Cats? Stop Popping Sudafed.

Review Date: May 2, 2005

Reviewer: Donald P. Martin Jr., Concord, NH

To start, I just want to let it be known that I've had my Hamilton Beach TrueAir Allergen Reducer for all of a week... But there's been so much of a difference that I couldn't wait any longer to write this review.

I've never had any hardcore allergies to cats or dogs, and I love pets. When I married my wife, I became Dad to her six cats. Long hair, shorthair, hair everywhere. And a few months ago, I began noticing that waking up in the morning was getting increasingly unpleasant. As of last month (and I'll try not to be overly graphic) I was waking up without fail each day with what felt like a concrete mixer behind my eyes. Congested every morning, and having to take extra-long, piping hot showers to feel any better... usually followed by at 500 mg of Tylenol and an additional allergy medicine.

So I saw this Allergen Reducer for a 210 square foot room online and decided the price was right to give it a shot (replacement filters are less than $15 each, which was also an acceptible cost). Our bedroom is about that size exactly, and since we usually have at least three cats in bed with us at any given time during the night, it seemed worthy of the investment.

After four days of having this machine on in our room (with the one door usually open only enough for the cats to enter and exit), I'm happy to report that each day I have (waked? woken? waken?) to a 99% improvement. I'll certainly come back to this review in future months to update, but there has been such an enormous difference within a very short time that I wanted to tell others who might be currently experiencing what I have in the past that this device might provide much welcomed relief, and quickly!

A Wonderful Product

Reviewer: Author,

This is a great air purifier. It also works well as a soothing white noise machine.

My girls stopped coughing....

My girls just coughed and coughed without apparent colds mostly at night and when the got up in the morning. At school they didn't cough hardly at all. The Dr. said he thought the one had allergies. As soon as we filtered the air in their bedroom, they both stopped coughing. The results were immediate the first night they slept in their room. This is one of the best investments we have ever made.

BEWARE - CAN'T FIND FILTERS NOW

Reviewer: J. P. Lassiter, Valdosta, Georgia United States

This product is awesome. We have multiple housecats and household members with dust and cat allergies. We own three of these units and they are great in smaller rooms. We swear by them...HOWEVER...as of now (January 2009) we can no longer easily find filters. Online wholesalers selling reasonably are selling out, the average cost of $12 for a single filter is climbing to $20 to $30 a piece, and Hamilton Beach has made 2 versions of this purifier since this one originally came out. I would advise anyone shopping for one of these to pass up the cheap cost and go for the newest version of the same product by Hamilton Beach because this will end up being a waste of money in the end. I am getting ready to have to buy all new units I am afraid. I will stick with the same simple model and company but I am very disappointed about this filter situation.

Awesome air purifier. It actually works.

I had tried some of the Ionic air purifiers, but those did nothing for my allergies. I would sneeze like crazy every morning, and many times after coming back into the house. I decided to purchase the Hamilton Beach 4381. Easy to install and setup. After the first night, I could feel the difference. In the morning, my nose was not stuffed, I didn't even feel like sneezing; it was great. Of course, right when I left the house, my nose started to act up.

Its not quiet like the ionic air purifiers, but it works because it circulates air using a fan. The air is sucked in from the front and blows out the top. I'd say at low fan speeds, its very quiet, at med speeds, its like a normal fan, and at full power, its wayy too loud. However, it should work well for most people at med and low power.
