Rated 4 out of 5 by gomojo from Seems to remove smoke smells but not quickly This is my second unit purchased as chain smokers have moved in downstairs from us. It does seem to get rid of smells and the smoke that comes into our apartment from downstairs but not that quickly. It can take 30 minutes or more and if you turn it down below the highest setting, doesn't seem get the smell out for at least an hour. At that point, like at night when we need the unit to be more quiet on a lower setting, the allergens have circulated throughout our apartment and I'm a coughing, sneezing mess. At least it does work, albeit a bit noisily, on the highest setting. It is the best one we've found though and will be sticking with them for now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Happy Air from Great Air Purifier I bought this a month ago and it immediately removed the mildew smell in the air. I also burned something in the oven setting off fire alarms the smell normally last for days. This system removed it in minutes. The system is very loud but works great! It does have a silent/ sleep mode which is very quiet but I find it more effective on high. The door is fragile so handle with care. Other reviews state the door came broken but I don't think thats the case. It just opens easily and you can break it if you're not careful. I had read reviews and was alert to it. It is heavy. I have a lung disease so lifting is difficult for me it may be easier for you. No electric bill yet so I'm not sure how it will impact my utilities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Actual Buyer from Awesome! Don't believe the bad reviews. This thing rocks...........period. It moves a ton of air on 4 and 3. I read these reviews before I bought it. Ridiculous. There's people talking about the filters being loose, taping the door, yada yada. The truth is this. The filters do fit loose with the DOOR OPEN. It's not terribly complex to put them on and off unless you have ZERO skills. A 9 year old can put these on. The door is large. It has a push in lock and a magnetic lock as well. If your floor is not level or your carpet is even slightly lumpy, the door won't close correctly. Nothing horrible, move the unit a half inch this way or that way. Nothing needs taping. As far as gaps like one review stated, I don't see it. The whole front is the intake. 3/4 at least, of the top is the outlet. This front area is a door with a washable dust filter in the door. Behind that is 3 True HEPA filter a with a additional replaceable charcoal based filter on each of the HEPAs. Bottom line, at 30% off with free shipping, a 500 SQ ft coverage area at max, 375 SQ ft optimal coverage area, Real HEPA filter a and a total of 7 filter areas..........all for under a bone(100)? What's not to like? I'll tell you, Nothing!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Littleiggy from Works great We bought this product 6 years ago because my husband had cancer and needed the air purified better. He passed in 2014 and I've been using it to keep the cigarette smell down so my neighbors would quit complaining. It works great. I just bought 2 console type for my bed room and living room. I have the big on and 1 console running in different corners of the living room. My home does not smrll.like smokers live here nor can you tell i have 2 dogs. I love my Holmes air purifier's.

Rated 3 out of 5 by DJames31 from Horrible filter and door design First thing I find it particularly annoying that you need 3 hepa and 3 carbon filters. When ordering replacements from the store, I can’t buy these in a 3 packs so I need to buy two 2 packs with 1 extra filter. The filters are nested with nothing keeping them in place except the door which they lean against and constantly push open. The door is lacking a clasp or clip to keep closed, it opens randomly twice a week shutting off the unit. I’ve tried Velcro and tape, only a cargo strap will keep it closed. Please redesign this with one filter and a door that locks in position. It’s hard to judge the effectiveness of the unit since the door keeps opening.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Roxy17 from It does the job I got asthma and it’s really important for me to be around clean and purified air. This air purifier helps removing households odors and Allergens. I use it mostly during night because I realized that it helps me sleep better and I stopped sneezing and coughing during the night. Also Setting in my personal opinion is a little too loud even if it’s on unit 1, with that being said, I just take it as a white noise because it’s kind of tolerable. It comes with 3 filters which can be replaced. I use in my room as well as the living room and it gets the job done no matter the size of the room. I love this product and I’m happy I found out about it because it has definitely helps me get my asthma under control. I highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cmlikens1 from Great relief I bought 2 air purifiers about a month ago. I had an awful cough for going on 3 years. Sometimes to the point of getting sick. My doctor told me it was all allergies but I'm not able to take any allergy medicine without it making me sick or making me to tired. While on vacation (where I wasnt coughing) we had figured out i was probably allergic to our dog. My husband seen an air purifier in the store and that's what got us thinking about one because of it saying it helped with pet dancer. Once we got back from vacation I did some research and order 2 from your website. Best thing I've ever done. I don't cough nearly as much and have not gotten sick. In the future I will be purchasing another one and hopefully that will take care of the whole house and my cough.

Rated 1 out of 5 by WanWan from Not happy Ordered two for large rooms. One works fine but the other one keeps on popping open and therefore automatically shuts down. After so many tries, I finally have to use a strong tape to keep it together. Ugly of course, but I am not going to go through the trouble of sending it back and there's no guarantee that replacement will be perfect. I do notice from the reviews that this is a common problem.

Thank you for choosing Holmes&reg;️. We are more than happy to assist you with your concern. For air purifier HAP8650, you may need to periodically check the condition of the foam pre-filter by opening the front grill door and examining it. Remove any dust or lint from the pre-filter by washing it in warm soapy water. Rinse and drip dry. Replace the pre-filter and secure it with the latch frame on the front grill door. Remove each of the filters from the unit by pulling gently towards you. To replace carbon filters, simply remove the old carbon filter and insert a new carbon in its place, using the plastic tabs as a guideline. DO NOT attempt to clean the old HEPA filter. To replace HEPA filters, discard the old HEPA filters. Put the carbon filter back on the new HEPA filter. Insert the new HAPF600 HEPA filter into the unit, by sliding it onto the hang tabs.
