Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not a good product I can not purchase a new foam filter from the store or the manufacturer, Holmes. I have been on the internet now for and hour after running all over town trying to find new filters. This is a throw away unit after 4 months. I recommend buying something local that stays in stock so you can easily get the filters you need when you need them.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Works well until it squeals I purchased my purifier 8 months ago and it is already squealing. The same model previously purchased lasted 11 months and similar one before that lasted just over a year. They all seem to start a high pitch squeal from the bearings/bushings. Other discontinued tower models lasted well over 3 yrs. Thus, it seems like the quality has progressively gotten worse. I have used these filters for many years across previous company owners.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far it is very good! I bought this to replace the one I had for over 2 years that went bad! My last two was a little smaller then this one and I felt I need something that would cover more square footage, so I bought this one! It is doing the job I want!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from We shall see Not sure it is filtering as advertised. I have not noticed a difference in the air. I looked at filters to buy for back up. I was surprised to see that they cost as much as the machine it's self. That did disappoint me and my wife.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Great I am really surprised at the amount of dust, pollen, animal hair, cigarette smoke this tower collects. I am considering buying a second.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Awful noise? I've had this air purifier for a good while now and it's been great! But out of no where it started making this horrible noise. We thought maybe the filter just needed changing but that did nothing. It's not as bad when the speed is on 1 but put it back up to 3 and it the worst. We aren't too sure what to do, I love this thing and really don't want to just buy a new one. Especially if it'll just make the noise again after a while. It does it's job amazingly. Just can't stand the noise.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Air purifier and Hepa Allergen Filter. Absolutely love them both!!! No complaints other than wish I have purchased them earlier. First time trying the Hepa Allergen filter [ Purple Color ] and after 5 hours my wife and I can smell and feel the difference. I am a skeptic to the fullest!!! Now I and my wife are believers!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Clean Air! I bought this a few months ago and keep it on all the time. I do not use the ionizer as the ozone that is generated because of it is dangerous for my birds. I set it on low at night in my room and move it out into the living room on speed 2 during the day. I only use speed 3 when I'm out of the house as it is a tad loud. The front pre-filter gets dusty and needs to be shaken out outside about once a week. The Aer1 allergen filters that came with it are very good at removing staleness out of the air as well as pet dander. We have a family member who is allergic to cats and he can now come over and spend a lot more time over here before his allergic reaction sets in. I have noticed my electric bill go up a little bit, but knowing I'm breathing cleaner air is worth it. Occasionally on low (speed 1), there is a slight whistle noise coming from it, but it goes away. Not sure if that's normal or not?

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great space saver I have had this for a little over a year and it's great and all but it sends a smell that reminds me of cat or dog spray. You know, that amo is smell in their urine, well, I have cleaned it, and changed filters but every time it gets turned on it still smells like that.its nothing new, it's been doing that since I bought it. I dont use the ion button and when I have it didnt change anything. Any thoughts guys? Other than that it's a great space saver, the air feels crisp and fresh, we sleep better and my allergies arent as bad .

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very loud I purchased this unit and was excited to breath easy. As soon as I plugged it in it was very loud. It sounds like someone is using a blowdryer behind a closed door. I left it running in the living room over night and could not sleep because it was so loud. I will be returning it ASAP

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Breath of Fresh Air! I bought two of these a year ago and they have made such a huge difference in our home!! There's 3 kids, 1 dog and 4 rescue cats that we've acquired... They are a bit noisy so I turn them down to 1 during the day and 3 at night. They've cut down on the dust, fur and any pet odors. I keep extra filters on hand and change them according to the dial and vacuum regularly in between. I have no idea how we managed before- they've literally been a breath of fresh air!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Doubtful Longevity of Fan Motor I purchased this about 1.5 yrs ago from a wally-type box store, because of my allergies. (Or so I thought; but it may have been Covid19.) It does clean the air well, if the filters are replaced regularly. By the way, use AER filters, which are easy to get (though expensive). The filters have a rubber seal that ensures all the air being pulled through gets filtered. And they are easy to replace. The minimal controls are very easy to use, compared with some others I own that I can't figure out. The noise level was moderate for the first year or so--no louder than any other air purifier I've ever owned, but not as loud as the loudest. My only complaint is that the fan motor has developed an intermittent high-pitched whine that my family can't tolerate. I have kept it running more often than I've had it off, so perhaps I've exceeded the life of the machine (1.5 yrs).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great We bought this 6 months ago and found the 2 pack hepa filters at walmart . This product is amazing really . We can tell the air is cleaner .

Also love the low to high settings and portable not heavy .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE it. My Dad bought this for me back in 2020 when COVID hit and it was one of our worst wildfire seasons that summer and with a newborn baby it was the best gift ever! Mine still runs and works really well to this day. It's been knocked around a couple of times by my kids and it's durable! Love how clean our home feels with it. Thank you!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Question I just purchase this unit and want to understand what the ionizer is for and if it is safe to have on if in same room? Also I just read on here u should have unit turned around to blow out air toward your room? Confused!!! So the air that is blowing out is the good clean air?

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So far so good I've owned it for a month and can see the difference in my apartment. I run it during the day and turn it off at night. It will markup the walls from dust if you leave it in a corner so I find myself moving it into an open area during the day and then tucking it away at night.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great Air Purifier but.... This is our 4th one in 2 years and I must say, we have had the SAME issue with all four...I'm tired of buying new ones. Seems there's a defect after 6 months or so that the machine WHISTLES bad once I replace the disposable filter the second time. WHAT's this about??????

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Second one I bought We have Holmes purifiers of different sizes running in nearly ever one of our roons in our house.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Loud screeching noise I haven't even had this product a week and now every time it is turned on it makes a continuous very high pitched screeching noise. It makes the purifier unusable. Unfortunately I no longer have the box to be able to return it because I certainly would!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it but… I just bought a 2nd brand new to clean the air in my freight liner because there are a lot of particles in the air that cause me respiratory problems. Unfortunately this 95 watt device keeps burning up my 1900 watt inverter and I can’t figure out why

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best ever! I bought this a year ago and figured I should order new filters. I have allergies and coughed when I tried to go to sleep until I got this. It has run 24/7 for a year and I live in a dusty windy area. It is one of my best purchases ever!
Date published: 2022-03-29
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great air cleaner I bought this unit about a year ago, overall I love it. What I don't like is that the filters you buy at the store have sticky to put them in but the original one that came with it had a bracket type setting to hold the filters in

Thank you for choosing Holmes&amp;reg;️. We are more than happy to assist you with your concern. This air purifier releases ozone only when the ionizer is on. Some Air Purifiers have an independently controlled ionizer, which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally around us, in the air, water and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless and completely harmless. Negative ions help the air purification process by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the room. If the ionizer is off, the ozone and negative ions aren&#39;t produced. We hope this information helps.

Thank you for reaching Holmes&amp;reg;️. We are more than happy to help you with this concern. Yes, the ionizer does emit ozone only when it&#39;s activated. Some Air Purifiers have an independently controlled ionizer, which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally around us, in the air, water and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless and completely harmless. Negative ions help the air purification process by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the room.

Thank you for reaching out to Holmes&amp;reg;️. We are saddened to hear that your air purifier has started making a noise and no longer illuminating. Obviously, this is not the situation that we want for you. We are more than happy to help you in fixing this. Please check for any obstruction and loose screws. Kindly make sure as well that it is placed on a flat surface and the air outlet is at least 1 foot away from the wall or objects. The parts should be firmly positioned in place.
